    Plus another "good luck beating Green Bay in the cold weather" loss. I don't know why people keep saying that, but it hasn't been true for a decade now.

    If we had played against Jacksonville would the result have been any different?

    I feel more mad this time around.

    You hate to think of how many additional rings Favre and Rodgers would be wearing if not for someone's total fart, be it coaching or GM or player.

    How do you have zero offense against San Francisco?

    Another season, another new and interesting choke job.

    No, haven't staked anything just yet. I've been waiting for the bottom of the market to start doing all that. I didn't sell at the end of November like I should have, so now I'm hoping for maybe one more week of green, then cash out and hold until the market bottoms out.

    My father has a second house near Phoenix. He can walk to the football stadium. It's not listed, but he's still getting two calls per day to sell at some very high prices. He was really tempted to sell but my brother I think correctly reminded him that since he's set money-wise, what's the point of selling? Unless there's a plan to actually do something with the money to better enjoy retirement, then there's no value to just having more money. My father is a good example of what consistent savings can do for a person. Never made more than $40k/year and the mother only occasionally worked. But the father saved 20-30% of every paycheck and was blessed to only be out of work for six months of his entire career. It meant stretching every penny, certainly. We never went out to eat, etc. But now someone who never made much money never has to ask himself if he can afford anything anymore. If either of them end up needing long-term assisted living we'll actually be able to pay for it.

    Digital Asset News the other day mentioned cryptotrader.tax, and it looks like that will be in the neighborhood of $100 to do the uploads and forms, so I'll probably use that. I had been trying CoinTracker.io, but it doesn't read Metamask and the forms it was getting me were a mess. ------ I bought Moonbeam (GLMR) way way way too early yesterday before it really had the chance to settle down from the KuCoin listing. Took a big hit on that. Up a lot today though I'm still not even. Nice to see what the market has been doing lately overall. Folks really over-reacted to the Fed rate increase even though everyone knew it was coming. Instead they just pulled all their money out of everything. But people don't tend to hold majority cash long-term, so I'm optimistic this year that as folks buy back in they may well do so via crypto because they're still market-averse with more rate hikes coming. We never really saw that "market is going crazy!" rise like in 2013 and 2017, but I guess the converse of that is maybe maybe maybe we don't really see the same fall. Volatility is more fun and more profitable, though.

    I'm curious to hear more. How old and where are you currently at with retirement money? I'm 44 and I don't think I'd crack $50k in retirement savings just yet. I'll also have a pension but that won't be more than about $1200/mo. Another benefit is work will continue most of my medical benefits between retirement and 62. Between this and my side job I should be starting this year, saving $1000/mo is realistic if not somewhat conservative. Although I'm a little unsure yet just where to save it all. I have a 401k and a self-directed IRA, but also taxable stocks/crypto. I'm in work housing, so when I retire I'll need a place to live. Sounds crazy right now but I still hope to retire before 60. I've heard rumor you can withdraw from an IRA early without the penalty in order to buy a house, but I also doubt I'll be buying one. So at least for now I'm stuck with capital gains. And since I'm single no kids I have ambitions to retire in Belize. No income tax, no capital gains and a slightly lower cost of living.

    I'm actually quite far behind when it comes to retirement savings. Making little money in my 20s and being out of work for much of my 30s did the trick. Grad school was a waste of time and money, too. But now debt-free, credit cards at $0 and basically no rent for the house. I'll be pushing pretty hard to save over the next 15 years.

    I debated the same thing with my student loans and personal vehicle, but I paid them down instead of investing the extra. Sure I'd have made a little more investing, but I considered if something bad happened there's a bigger benefit to being debt free than still making monthly payments on stuff.

    JT O'Sullivan has a youtube channel where he breaks down QB play. He did a bit from Love's Chiefs start and generally liked the guy. He blamed a lot on bad offensive line play but thought Love's decision-making was good. The biggest negative on Love is that he would often just miss the throw. One thing I've been watching now because O'Sullivan brings it up a lot is sometimes QBs will drop back but they won't go straight back and instead veer to the side, which exposes them to a lot more pressure from the DE. I guess Baker Mayfield does this a lot.
  14. GAME05
    Well, at least if Rodgers is gonna be traded, this is sure the perfect offseason for it. The draft doesn't have big stars and there are sure a lot of good teams that could use a QB to get them over the top.

    What programs are you guys using to sync up your holdings for tax accounting? I'm trying a couple but they either have trouble grabbing everything or all I get out of it is a mess of numbers. ----------------- Have a bit of cash that I could add to the market, but I haven't decided yet whether the market is at a bottom or it has further down to go, so I figure it's best to just hold as cash for a while longer and see what happens. Although MonkeyBall got a ton of hype and is way down right now. DTravel is also way down.

    My retirement is confusing since I won't have 30 years in with the pension and paying a percent of health care benefit, etc. If it costs a couple hundred bucks to see a financial analyst that sure seems worth it to have someone else figure it all out for you, not to mention they'll know variables maybe you/me haven't thought of yet. And a lot of the times whatever company does your company's 401k will meet with you for free.

    Grad school and then not finding a job after the Crash sucked my savings dry. I've got a 6% matching 401k and what will be a modest pension, but I'm hopefully starting a second job soon and intend to put every penny I make into retirement. The second job is specifically because I need the extra income to retire. Ideally I plan to expatriate to Belize and if I can, a tiny place back in Wisconsin.

    I had a Wal-Mart thin crust yesterday and it was pretty good. I forgot the price so that makes it hard to call it good/bad. Tasted good, but if I paid $7, it didn't taste THAT good. I may be slowly turning toward the sausage preference, too. I love the caraway flavor. And the pepperoni on a lot of brands is way too spicy.

    No doubt the problem will only get worse. Not to mention all the people who lost money because they accidentally sent it to the wrong address. Still holding my coins. I think I just started to get bored and stopped paying such close attention to the market every day. And now that it's down I feel like now's a terrible time to sell. I sold out last week in the regular market, so that sure timed nicely, but not so with crypto.

    My last park had to ditch the E15 even though it was cheaper. Absolutely ruined all the small equipment we were using.

    Great, thanks for jinxing us!

    Exactly. You can't get players to even admit to maybe having a concussion, so they sure aren't going to report flu-like symptoms. I think it was the Eagles who have decided to separate their QB Room. Surprising other teams hadn't thought of that sooner.

    There are lots of different designs out there for making a brick oven. I've always wanted to make one, but I'm not in a permanent house yet. But it isn't something super-difficult.

    I just assumed letting college players get paid was partly to get the payouts in the open instead of eventually having to suspend a money-making team like Ohio State and Alabama if/when they got caught paying, and also largely to stave off the possibility of a AAA professional league starting up which could lure kids away from the NCAA. If the NBA G-League further developed yet the NCAA still wouldn't pay their players, would any top recruit bother with college?

    Lack of preparation time aside, that just seems downright dangerous to Browns players. I wasn't a fan of adding a 17th game and it's just getting ridiculous the physical toll the NFL is putting on its players.
