Probably correct on the UCI point scramble. But because the points are cumulative a smart team will start the scramble this year instead of waiting. We'll likely get the lower tier American teams of Human Powered Health and EF Education again, for example.

No, not possible to turn a 4-week into a 13-week with auto-roll. Let the 4-week mature (it'll mature on a Tuesday) and then buy the 13-week on Thursday.

T-bills have regular auction times (barring holidays)

4/8/13/17/26-week T-bills are auctioned every week. The announcement date for 4/8/17-week is usually Tuesday and Thursday for 13/26-week. The auction date for 17-week is Wednesday, Thursday for 4/8-week, and Monday for 13/26-week. The settlement date is a week after the announcement date (usually).

Answer to your questions:

2. Have the money ready on the announcement date.

3. On the announcement date. (I think it's easier to do it on the announcement date)

4. Use auto-roll if you want to keep rebuying that specific term length.

You write "no matter how much I try it will never be enough" and yet you don't have a budget. There's a disconnect I'm seeing here.

I'd budget 3-4% of a homes non-land cost for maintenance. You can find the value of land and the improvements (i.e., the home) online. It should be public record.

If the home has lots of land or expensive trees/plants/flowers you can add more to maintain them.

Best thing I ever did was buy a small house I liked and dump money into it to make it the way I wanted. I recently sold it but, man, did I love that house. The size and low price meant I could keep putting money into it to make it just the way I wanted. Didn't quite get there as the fence still needed repairing and wood prices soared so much during COVID I skipped that part.

But I loved everything else I did. And there's no way an apartment would ever look like what I did with the house.

Presidents can't violate the Hatch Act. You might think they can but, nope, they can't.

Not exactly. Think FDR, Cary Grant, or Vincent Price.

The way people in movies from the 30s and 40s talk. Almost no one talks like that anymore. It's distinctive and changes in the 50s.

The change to widescreen movies.

B-movies and serials. Those stopped as soon as TV took off and the 60 minute B-movie was replaced by TV.

Every woman in an action-type movie being a reporter. It's not a mistake that Lois Lane was a reporter being modeled on Torchy Blane (a great series of B-movies).

CGI movies adding camera shots that would be impossible otherwise. See many action scenes in movies from the '80s or '90s.

The steadicam enabling camerawork while moving. First used in 1976 in several films - think Rocky running up a flight of stairs. Those shots were previously impossible.

They are going to lose the case because the Supreme Court is filled with far right legislators who pay only lip service to the law, precedent, and the Constitution.

If you're 19 you don't run away from home. You're an adult. You just leave.

You'll need some source of income and a place to stay. Might also need loans or grants to pay for college. It's rough being poor and on your own.
