Yes, but if you don't like your IRA for some reason, you can also just transfer it to a different IRA. Some IRAs do invest your money into the stock market, so they can have high interest rates (and risk). All IRAs have the advantage of being fully under your own control, unlike 401k's which are substantially controlled by your employer.

Note that you can only do one "rollover" per year, but transfers are unlimited. Whenever you move money between any of these pre-tax accounts, try to make sure it will be a "transfer", not a rollover.

You can transfer it to an pre-tax IRA with no penalty. I found an IRA at a credit union that is NCUA insured (similar to FDIC) which means it can't lose money. The interest rate is low, though.

A rifle

HODL! Diamond hands!

This is cult talk.

How can you tell if this one is? The text differences within and between panels 1 and 2 are indistinguishable (to my eyes) from JPEG artifacts.

Youtube spends a tiny fraction of its revenue on bandwidth. It gets way more than it needs from ads and premium subscriptions. Hardly any of that revenue goes to the content creators either.

The source loses my respect for calling it an "assault rifle" when it almost certainly was not. This summary (which I assume was written by MicroWave) calls it an "assault-style rifle", which has no meaning at all.

This is not an assault rifle, and not fully automatic. If it was, the gun's existence would have been almost certainly illegal.

Words have meaning. The meaning in this case is important. Use your words.

Copyright's purpose is to improve the public domain. If it doesn't do that, then its harmful and should be reduced or abolished.

To keep copyrighted content relevant at the point it enters the public domain, copyright should be shortened to 20 years for creative works (films, music, paintings, Spongebob).

Consider the current public domain, which contains things like fairy tales. People remix and retell fairy tales all the time, and it makes for good stories.

The US doesn't have exit immigration checkpoints... yet.

I can't seem to upload images, but if you image-search for:

"we've completed our review and found this account's activity goes against whatsapp's terms of service"

You will find screenshots you can download and use as fake proof that you are banned.

When I had to contact Facebook to get an account unlocked, they took about a month to respond to each email, and never did unlock the account no matter how much proof I sent them. I expect WhatsApp is similar, since it's owned by the same company. So just say that they hardly respond, and they say things they've already said, ask you to try things you've already tried, or they ask for documents you've already sent them.

Why were you banned? Maybe you accidentally signed in on a phishing page, and they sent spam using your account. Maybe you created an account, and your first action was to contact a person you hadn't contacted before (obviously), and it was marked as spam. Maybe you signed up on an IP address previously used by a spam-sending datacenter (this happened a lot to me at my old house). Maybe your phone number was banned from WhatsApp before you got it, but you already gave it to too many people to be able to change it.

Steam is part social network, so it's expected. The play time is clearly counted, and you can choose to hide it. Steam does not count your offline hours.

From the 15 minutes I've played Switch, it did not obviously: record playtime, phone home, or give any option to be online/offline.

This is dystopian, if true. This type of data should be kept private, on the console itself, for the use of the user only.

Tell the truth, and quote the customer without that feature. Make it clear that that feature doesn't exist, and your company can't make it, and your supplier isn't interested in working on it.

Your boss had time to sort this out, and failed. He asked you to move forward as if it was solved, which means lying. Instead, tell the truth.

You could run it by your boss before sending it to the customer, but don't let him insert any bad-faith statements if you're the one signing the quote.

When I worked on OpenStack for a few years, 80% of the bugs I fixed were type errors that could have been prevented by Python being staticly typed.

Midwesterner here. Surveys show Trump's approval rating between 40% and 50%, and here on the ground, I believe it. A lot of people are seriously misled. Fox News, OAN, and Newsmax are considered legitimate news sources, so a lot of people truly believe that Trump is improving things.

It will take decades to deprogram all the people who fell for the alt-right's tricks.

Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

Windows used to be easy. Now, it's so obscure and locked down that only Microsoft can maintain your computer. And they maintain it for their own benefit, at your expense, with mandatory ads and lockouts.

That is not a reasonable living condition. I can't pretend that it's normal to live like that. A person deserves way more than 15m^2 of space.

If you're trans: Start making plans to flee. You don't have to carry them out right now. But do get a passport, even if it has to have your deadname. Canada or Mexico probably wouldn't accept a US refugee just for being trans right now, but that will change in the future.

If you're an immigrant, or even a permanent resident: It's unsafe in the US right now. I wouldn't fault you if you left today. However, everyone's circumstances are different. Maybe you want to stay and support your spouse and kids who are citizens, and you're willing to risk your life to do it. It depends on the circumstances.

Anyone else: Stay and fight.

Actually, space law is an important thing.

So, do you play Space Station 13, or Space Station 14?

("Lawyer" is a playable class in SS13, and a base starting class in SS14.)
