Bicycle is a good idea. I just wish there’s hills here in Florida. Anything that looks like a hill is really a landfill.

My bicycle is 20 years old and I haven’t touched it in probably 5 years. Maybe I can think about getting a new one

Am I the only one that thinks we should have dedicated buttons for copy/paste on keyboards? in c/[email protected]

I guarantee I can hit ctrl-c faster than I can move my hand to a different part of the keyboard.

Thanks! Yeah, i'm not sure if i can even stand on one and move forward. I bought my son a good skateboard a couple years ago and he hasn't touched it. So evertime i see it sitting there in the garage, i think about trying it out.

Haha, love the Forrest Gump quote.

I messed up my ankle in 2019 in a freak moped racing in the grass accident. My right ankle was dislocated; my foot was torqued inward and rotated toward the left. I put it back in place immediately before the adrenaline wore off. It was about 3 months recovery before i felt really good again.

I always get hurt when i'm trying to have some good clean fun. Thats why i look like Homer Simpson, lol.

Hi All,

I've been doing brazillian JiuJitsu for the last 7 years and recently got a pretty bad shoulder injury that's going to keep me out for a while. I will likely be on the mats again at some point but not sure when.

I'm looking for something else to do in the meantime (and maybe for the long term). If your dad was in the same position as me, would you advise him for or against skateboarding? And if for it, how long should I try it before i decide if its for me or not?

Thanks!

Hi, I respectuflly disagree. The reason this is significant is becuase he isn't influenced due to his ownership in any stocks. Of course he, like anyone else, is concerned about the overall state of the economy.

Its also different from a 401k which is a defined contribution plan. In a defined contribution plan, account holder makes their own investment choices but are often limited in those choices. Their account balance will go up and down based on total contributions and market returns.

A pension is a defined benefit plan. In a defined benefit plan, the participant doesn't have an account that goes up and down based on market fluctuations. Their benefit is defined regardless of these fluctuations. The onus is on the employer to ensure that the plan is correctly funded which is a result of market conditions and 'employer only' contributions to the plan.
