Was thinking about going solar?

Was thinking about going solar? I’m not good with the math but I hesitate to take a $50k solar loan, which is tantamount to bad debt for a light bill… when I could theoretically take a normal loan for 50k and invest that into the market? I know the 30% credit helps with solar (would be $15k here) but I’m just thinking mathematically, which is the greatest return on capital? So…

What band am I thinking of?

( www.reddit.com )

What band am I thinking of? I’m sorry but this has been bothering me for far too long. I used to listen to a band all the time and now can’t remember any of their songs or lyrics, apart from what they were about. They were an emo/punk sort of band, similar to The Mountain Goats I guess. It was almost screamo but more so talking/singing aggressively. They had a song about a…

Am I thinking about this correctly?

( www.reddit.com )

Am I thinking about this correctly? I’ll use numbers that are not my actual salary. If I started at an employer in 1996 at $25K / yr and I now make $47K but adjusted for inflation that $25K in today’s dollars is $48,900 is it safe to say I make $1,900 less than what I started at 27 yrs ago? If I’m thinking about this correctly it is infuriating / depressing at the same time. …

Does my idea work or is there something I’m not thinking of?

( www.reddit.com )

Does my idea work or is there something I’m not thinking of? To keep this short. I need to photograph a product but there are always shadows on the table. My idea is to have a blank backdrop on the table (probably poster board), take the photo from above, and hold a regular (large) umbrella over the table/product to eliminate the shadows. Will this work? If this is relevant, it’s for Instagram posts and r…
