Homeopathics, though sometimes even a placebo can have beneficial effects.

Apple DOS on an Apple IIe in school.

First Linux distro was Debian.

I was rougher on pillows back then.

There’s a story here, I just know it.

The Austin Powers theme.

🎶 Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, banana phone 🎶

As others have mentioned, Diary of Anne Frank is the only fitting non-fiction book that comes to mind.

Angela’s Ashes is sometimes assigned in high school. It’s mostly non-fiction, though the author describes his own conception so clearly it’s not all strictly true.

I saw the report and came as fast as I could!

Does Weird Al count? Because he is just as talented as any “serious” musician.

Also, The Presidents of the United States of America.

You have a free weekend with no plans or obligations. What do you do with that free time?

Enough of these old career politicians. We need some fresh blood in Washington. I’m all for Jerry Mander! I don’t know anything about what he actually stands for, but I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Life insurance companies could conceivably do this already. They sometimes ask for blood tests (among other exams) as a precondition of granting overage.

Regular CDs and DVDs are read-only. You cannot change the data on them in normal use.

You “rip” the disc by reading the data off the disc and writing it to some other media.

There are rewritable (CD-RW, DVD-RW) discs available. You can delete the data from these discs, but it’s not something you’re going to do accidentally.

Usually you have to be a resident for a number of years before being eligible for citizenship. Often the process is faster and easier if you meet minimum income or wealth thresholds, because countries like hosting rich expats.

Violent chaos in the US. One of three things will happen:

• The Supreme Court sides with the states that want to remove Trump from the ballot. Trump’s minions cry foul and lose their minds.
• Trump gets on the ballot but he loses to Biden again. Trump’s minions cry foul and lose their minds.
• Trump gets on the ballot and wins. Trump and the GOP take that as a mandate to govern with impunity, and run roughshod over the country.

“Resistor” usually implies a device with a fixed resistance value. A rheostat is a device with variable resistance. The two terms are not synonymous.

As for condenser and capacitor, Wikipedia has an interesting tidbit:

Early capacitors were known as condensers, a term that is still occasionally used today, particularly in high power applications, such as automotive systems. The term was first used for this purpose by Alessandro Volta in 1782, with reference to the device’s ability to store a higher density of electric charge than was possible with an isolated conductor. The term became deprecated because of the ambiguous meaning of steam condenser, with capacitor becoming the recommended term in the UK from 1926, while the change occurred considerably later in the United States.

There are certainly lots of film adaptations. I can think of two off the top of my head: Ten Things I Hate About You is a retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, and Disney’s The Lion King is straight Hamlet.

I’m surprised that I can’t easily find novelizations on Google. They must exist. If not, then that seems like a great opportunity.

The big advantage of putting your additional contributions into the 401(k) is that it reduces your taxable income. The big disadvantage is that the money is locked away for decades; that cash is no longer available to make big purchases like a car, honeymoon trip, etc. There are some exceptions, but be careful that you don’t get hit with penalties.

Personally, if I were in your situation, I would open a no-fee brokerage account and put you additional retirement money into an index fund that tracks the S&P 500 or NASDAQ. If you need the money before you turn 66 then it will be readily available.

Does this work?

The biggest questions are where and why. You have a huge country to explore, but what makes any one town stand out as a desirable destination? Within any region or state you can find great places and crummy places, often right next to each other, so you really need to think about what you are looking for and what you want to avoid. Consider taking a long weekend to visit and explore a prospective area before you commit to it.
