    My Vanguard roth IRA is up 11% since 2020, and is up 30% just this last year. If you are investing into individual stocks yourself I would probably reconsider that strategy. Buying individual stocks is closer to gambling than investing.

    I see you did total market funds now, idk what to tell you. But if you are not retiring soon it doesn’t really matter. Time in the market is better than timing the market.








  • I’ve seen firsthand how a school district’s website gets built and let me tell you, the website designer fights tooth and nail to design a usable website. Everyone else fights them to create trash. That university’s process is probably like that because the designer gave up and let the professors design their own shit and that’s the way they wanted it.

    Birds actually have scientific common names and it’s completely acceptable to refer to them with those names. They even have standardized bird abbreviations using those names, like Red-tailed Hawk is RTHA. They of course use the latin names too, and those have their own abbreviations (Buteo jamaicensis is BUTJAM) but the common names are handier.
