Hello, I am new to this community.
Currently, I am creating my mod of Half-Life 2. And I am trying to change the font of the title.
I searched a little bit and found that I should change the font name of "ClientTitleFont" in "Steam/steamapps/sourcemods//resource/clientscheme.res".
However, even though I have changed them, the font does not seem to work, and still the title glitches. I tried multiple times removing my mod and re-copying it at "sourcemods", but still, the font does not seem to apply.
Would there be any other solutions to try to fix this?

Thank you!

Tapping into your retirement funds, specifically 401(k)s, to help beef up a down payment is a reoccurring topic on this subreddit.
Accessing retirement funds is a big decision. And like with any big decision, you should understand the ins and outs before you move forward.
An important note before we get started: 401(k)s are not IRAs. 401(k)s do not have the same rules as IRAs. This post is for education regarding the implications of accessing 401(k) funds early - via loan or withdrawal - specifically for the purpose of purchasing a home.

How 401(k)s Work

Your 401(k) is an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan. It is an account within which you can invest in various funds for growth until retirement. All transactions that occur within the 401(k) account are tax sheltered. This means that any income or investment gains are exempt from all forms of taxation. Investments can be bought and sold, dividends can be collected, and Uncle Sam will keep his grubby hands off of the proceeds - for as long as they remain within the 401(k).
In a nutshell, there are two types of 401(k)s: Traditional and Roth.
Traditional 401(k): No taxes now, taxes later
Employees contribute a portion of their pre-tax income to their Traditional 401(k) account through payroll deductions. This means that the money is taken out of their paycheck before taxes are calculated, reducing their taxable income for the year. Investment gains within the 401(k) account grow tax-deferred, meaning taxes are not owed until withdrawals are made in retirement. Some employers offer matching contributions to their employees' traditional 401(k) accounts, which is essentially free money added to the employee's retirement savings.
Penalty-free withdrawals from a Traditional 401(k) are permitted at age 59^1/2. These withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income in retirement. This means that when employees start taking distributions from their account, they will owe income tax on the amount withdrawn, rather than capital gains tax, as is typical for investment gains.
Roth 401(k): Taxes now, no taxes later
Employees contribute a portion of their after-tax income to their Roth 401(k) account through payroll deductions. Unlike traditional 401(k) contributions, Roth 401(k) contributions do not reduce taxable income in the year they are made.
While employers may still offer matching contributions to a Roth 401(k), these matching contributions are made on a pre-tax basis and are deposited into a separate traditional 401(k) account. This means that while employees contribute to their Roth 401(k) with after-tax dollars, employer matches are made with pre-tax dollars, and taxes will be owed on withdrawals of the employer contributions.
Penalty-free withdrawals from a Roth 401(k) are permitted once an account has been open for 5 years, and the owner reaches age 59^1/2. These withdrawals, inclusive of investment gains, are tax-free. Since contributions are made with after-tax dollars, employees have already paid taxes on the money they contribute, so they do not owe taxes on withdrawals in retirement.
^(\Roth 401(k)* funds can be accessed earlier than 591/2 in some cases. See:)) ^{Rule of 55, Rule 72t}

Early Withdrawal Taxes and Penalties

Withdrawing funds early from your 401(k) is costly. For both Traditional 401(k)s and Roth 401(k)s, a 10% penalty is paid on the distributions. So, let's say you withdraw $10,000 for your downpayment. The distribution will be reduced to $9,000. Uncle Sam is taking $1,000 for touching your retirement savings early. Ouch!
And he isn't done.
Traditional 401(k): Taxes on Early Withdrawals
Any amount withdrawn from a traditional 401(k) is generally treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. This means that the withdrawn amount is added to your taxable income for the year in which the withdrawal is made. When made early, you will owe federal income taxes on the withdrawn amount at your marginal\* income tax rate. Additionally, depending on your state of residence, you may owe state income taxes on the withdrawal as well.
Roth 401(k): Taxes on Early Withdrawals
When understanding the rules around early withdrawals from a Roth 401(k), it is important to differentiate between your contributions (money you earned outside the account and put into the account) from your investment gains (money earned by your investments within the account).

• Contributions: Since taxes were already paid on the employee (your) contributions, you can always withdraw them *tax-*free (but not penalty-free).
• Gains: Taxes have not been paid on the investment gains, so taxes will be owed on the withdrawal. The withdrawn gains will again be taxed at your marginal* tax rate.

^\)^{Note: The early withdrawal penalty can be waived in some circumstances. A FTHB purchase is not one of them. Note: column 3 is 401(ks. Column 4 is IRAs, which are not discussed here.})
What is a marginal tax rate, and why is it important?
Your marginal tax rate is the tax rate you pay on the last dollar of your income. In a progressive tax system like that of the United States, tax rates increase as income rises. Your marginal tax rate corresponds to the highest tax bracket into which your income falls.
For example, let's say the tax system has three brackets:

• 10% for income up to $10,000
• 20% for income between $10,001 and $50,000
• 30% for income above $50,000

If you earn $60,000, your marginal tax rate would be 30% because that's the rate applied to the last dollar you earned, which falls within the highest bracket.
Your early withdrawals fall into the "last dollar you earned" category. Meaning every (taxable) dollar withdrawn will be taxed at the highest rate possible - 30% in the example above. Your marginal tax rate could be above or below this number. See what your marginal tax bracket is for 2024 here.
Example: Early Withdrawal from Traditional 401(k) for down payment
John and Emily are a 30-year-old married couple looking to purchase their first home in Florida. They earn a combined $150,000/year. Emily has liberally funded her Traditional 401(k) and has amassed a balance of $100,000. They have also been saving for a downpayment on their first home. They have managed to accumulate $50,000 for a down payment and feel ready to start shopping.
John and Emily find themselves under contract on a $250,000 home that suits all their needs (lol, i know, bear with me). They expect closing costs of $15,000. Unfortunately, their mortgage lender decides they are only willing to extend $200,000 (John has some credit card debt and drives a Ferrari he bought with 0 down).
Uh oh. John and Emily do not have enough cash for both the down payment and the $15,000 in closing costs. Good thing Emily has some extra money stashed away for retirement, right? Let's see what it costs for Emily to tap into her Traditional 401(k)...
Emily withdraws $15,000 for the closing costs. The withdrawal will first be hit with the 10% penalty, which is $1,500.
John and Emily file jointly, putting them in the 22% marginal federal tax bracket. They will be subject to an additional $3,300 in taxes from the distribution.
Fortunately, they're in Florida, so there are no state taxes owed.
It cost Emily and John $4,800 to withdraw their $15,000.
John and Emily walk away with $10,200 cash to show for their $15,000 withdrawal. Had they never touched that $15,000, it would have been worth $261,741 by the time they retired at age 60.
See how expensive an early, unqualified Traditional 401(k) withdrawal would be for you.
Ok, so withdrawing seems like a bad idea. What about borrowing from a 401(k)?

What is a 401(k) loan?

A 401(k) loan is a loan taken out by a participant in a 401(k) retirement plan, where the individual borrows money from their own 401(k) account balance and agrees to repay it according to the terms set by the plan administrator, typically with interest.
By borrowing the money from your 401(k), the money is removed from what it was invested in. If those investments return 25% during the period which the money is borrowed, you, unfortunately, do not reap the rewards. Conversely, if those investments return -25%, you, fortunately, do not bear those losses.
Sounds like an even-sided risk, right? It's a 50/50 chance the market goes up or down? Not necessarily.

401(k) Loan: The Costs to Borrow

Traditional Borrowing Costs: Fees and Interest
401(k) loans typically cost $75-$125 to apply and originate the loan, which is actually pretty good. For those of you looking at your settlement statements, this looks pretty attractive compared to your mortgage origination fee and other up-front borrowing expenses.
Typically, retirement plans charge the current prime rate (8.50%, currently) plus 1% or 2% in interest on 401(k) loans. That interest, along with your repayments, is deposited into your account, and reinvested. Your repayments are deducted from your paycheck, although this time, after-tax. That means, for every $1 you pay back to the loan, you need to earn about $1.30 (give or take, depending on your state and federal tax bracket).
It is important to note that, although you are "paying yourself back", the interest is not free.
Interest on 401(k) loans is designed to keep you on track for retirement. As previously stated, your money is withdrawn from the market, so it will miss out the full benefits of compound growth during the repayment period. In other words: returns that would have otherwise been earned passively, you are now footing the bill for - with after-tax dollars - and it still might not be enough.
Opportunity Cost: Not Seen, but Felt
The typical 401(k) loan term is 5 years, although it can be paid back quicker. Historically, the stock market sees positive returns over a 5-year time frame. Over the past 5 years (as of April 30,2024), the S&P 500 has seen returns of 70.94%, or 11.32% annualized. The S&P 500 Index delivered its worst five-year return of -6.6% per year over the five years ending in February 2009.
As you can see, it's not quite a 50/50 shot at whether the market will see positive returns over a 5-year period. As you increase the time frame, positive market returns become even more reliable.
Even at today's higher prime rate, the interest rate on a 401(k) loan would not have kept pace with S&P 500 over the last 5 years. This means you would end up with a lower 401(k) balance, and you foot the bill for the growth.
Example: Taking a loan from a Traditional 401(k) for a down payment
Anne borrowed from her 401(k) in 2019 at a 6% interest rate in order to increase her down payment on her condo.
Assuming $10,000 borrowed at 6%, Anne will have made $11,580 in total payments by the end of the term. That $10,000, if left never borrowed, would be worth $15,357.
In order to pay that $11,580, the Anne earned $15,054, and had to pause normal contributions to the 401(k) that would have otherwise deferred taxes on those earnings.
In the end, that someone has $11,580 in their 401k - all paid in with after-tax dollars. Had the money never been borrowed, and Anne contributed that $15,054 earned to their 401(k), her 401(k) balance would be $30,411 - a difference of $18,831 at the end of the 5-year period.
After 30-years, that difference is somewhere in the ballpark of $548,000.\*
^(\Calculation assumes $15,054 in earnings was invested monthly at a flat rate of $250.90/month for 60 months at a 11.32% average annual return, then compounded at 10% average annual monthly return with no additional contributions.)*
Caveat: that $10,000 was invested in her condo, and that is important to factor.
Assuming her condo has increased in value by 50% over the past 5 years (8.45% annualized rate of return), that $10,000 is worth now worth $15,000 in home equity.
Concluding the 5-year period, Anne as a total of $26,580 to show for her decision to borrow between her $11,580 401(k) balance and $15,000 home equity. Her net worth is $3,831 less than it would be had she not taken out the loan.

Summary

While accessing 401(k) funds for a down payment on a home may seem like a viable option, it's crucial to weigh the associated costs, penalties, and long-term implications. Understanding the intricacies of early withdrawals and loans from 401(k) accounts empowers individuals to make informed financial decisions that align with their short-term goals and long-term goals.

Looking for some stuff!

1. 34mm DDC Geissele mount, preferably the longer extended length. Will look at Reptilia/Badgers in tan also. $200ish or more depending on brand, condition etc.
   
2. Higher end 6mm arc barrel. Ideally a Proof stainless (or similar) in 14.5 or 16 or so. Also looking for similar quality 6 arc in 11.5 or 12.5. $250, I’m just putting a number because that’ll vary a ton obviously depending on brand and condition.
   
3. 11.5” Criterion, Core or Hybrid. Already have the rest of the build so leaning strongly towards 11.5” on this one. $200+
   

Look around at what’s not getting used and let’s talk!

In 2019 I had a heart attack and was out of work for 6 months. I had a bunch of charge offs that are now going on 5 years old. I have established new credit and haven’t missed a payment in more than 3 years. The house I’m looking at is $520K and I would be able to put down around 250-275K. My annual income is $132k and I have very little debt since I pay off my cards in full. Also would I have to pay off the charge offs even though they are beyond the creditors ability to sue me for the balances.

Hi everyone. Recently my 250,000 mile 2006 ford fusion SEL 3.0 v6 starting missfiring. Figured out it was cylinders 5 and 6 (they are beside each other and not on opposite sides of the engine), with 6 missfiring constantly. Did the obvious thing and swapped out the spark plugs on both cylinders and the coil pack on 6. I only got one coil pack to make sure it was the issue and not the air intake gasket.... and due to the fact that the one I was replacing was fried. Like burnt up and cracked.
The new spark plug and old coil pack solved the issue with cylinder 5. However, 6 was still not firing with the new plug and coil pack. I decided to swap the coil packs around (old from 5 and new from 6) and see what happened. In swapping them, I noticed the coil pack from 6 was pretty hot and 5 wasn't. In running it with them swapped, 5 and 6 were both missfiring again. Swapping them back again, the old coil pack from 5 was now a bit warm coming out of 6. Running it with everything back to as it was before, 5 was running just fine and 6 not at all.
My question is, did I fry the new coil pack testing it in 6 by letting it overheat from the mystry problem, and two, did it overheat due to an electrical problem?
I'm not really sure where to diagnose from here? Thanks in advance, I'm very new to DIY and have only ever replaced a few alternators and starters.

Hi guys! I currently have 29 schools on my list, and I would like to shrink this to 20 if possible. Also, are there any schools that I should maybe add to this list? Also, should I apply DO, I just want to maximize my chances of getting into a medical school this cycle! Should I be concerned that I have 13 activities instead of 15? Should I add my publication (I'm like 6th or 7th author) and my presentations as separate entries? I also have about 50 hours for Social Justice/Advocacy for Vot-ER but it was for 6ish months, I'm not sure if I should add it? Thanks guys!

So I recently had my first old world event, I used the list below. It was 1500 points with 3 games (only ever played 2 games before)
It went really well, I lost (narrowly) the first game due to poor planing and bad luck Vs empire I won the second by about 250 points Vs chaos And won the last game convincingly (with around 850 points difference) Vs chaos dwarfs.
In my first game turn 1 (I preyed to lady)my lord lost all but 1 wound to a cannon shot, grail knights rolled terrible and lost the combat leading to a drawn out combat outside charge that eventually saw them die being very ineffective. Kotr did get behind lines killing 2 artillery, 10 crossbows and a engineer.
Second game duke killed chaos lord quickly and grail knights took out around 4 units including 2 heroes and a chariot.
3rd game duke went on a spree killing about 800points on his own.
One thing I noticed was how ineffective bowman are and treb as well.
What I learned: Will likely always take siriennes locket for duke from now on Take less bowmen Consider squires to harras war machines and bog down flanks Ruby ring didn't feel worth points Prophetess with lance is a beast Need to pick treb targets better

When ever I start the bed mesh generation the initial point starts at what would be 0,0 instead of the given 40,0. This is not good because the probe is off the bed at this point but the nozzle isn't, meaning the nozzle collides with the bed.
Any idea why this is happening? My config is below.

[include mainsail.cfg] # This file contains common pin mappings for the BigTreeTech SKR 2. # To use this config, the firmware should be compiled for the # STM32F407 with a "32KiB bootloader". # In newer versions of this board shipped in late 2021 the STM32F429 # is used, if this is the case compile for this with a "32KiB bootloader" # You will need to check the chip on your board to identify which you have. # # The "make flash" command does not work on the SKR 2.

Hello all. I want to thank this group. I went into my 1st routine colonoscopy without any procedure anxiety thanks to all the helpful posts.
It was originally scheduled for mid-March but I canceled due to being on antibiotics for a post-dental procedure infection and a leg injury suffered on a trail.
I did a low-residue, low-fiber diet starting 1 week before and a clear liquid diet yesterday. I ate less the last 2 days of the solid food diet.
I drank a lot of clear liquids. Between 8 am yesterday and 5:50 am today, I drank 2.6 gallons of fluids (dye-free Gatorade, white cranberry juice, apple juice, chicken broth, coconut water, tea, and water) and ate 8 servings of Jello (pineapple, lime, and lemon).
Prep was SuTab. 5:00 pm yesterday, I took a Zofran to help prevent nausea. This was automatically prescribed. 6:00 pm yesterday, I took the 1st bottle of pills, 250 mg of Gas-X, and drank the 1st 16 oz of water. 7:30 pm yesterday, I finished the 2nd and 3rd 16 oz of water. 7:45 pm yesterday, the SuTab started working. 2:50 am today, I took a Zofran. 3:50 am today, I did the 2nd half of the prep. 5:50 am today was when I had to stop everything by mouth. I managed to drink a 20 oz Gatorade Rapid Rehydration after finishing the 32 oz of water I had to drink after taking the SuTab pills. I finished it at 5:48 am. 8:50 am was check-in time for a 9:50 procedure. My procedure started 5 minutes early. I recovered from the Propofol much faster than they expected. Walked out of the clinic at 10:30 and was home at 11.
The worst part of the prep was the headache I got from only getting 3 hours of interrupted sleep and sleeping weird so my neck tightened up. And being very cold.
My biggest surprises were having no discomfort from the SuTab and how little time I spent in the bathroom. I expected to be in there for hours but I just did multiple quick trips. And peeing out the butt is extremely weird.
There was a single 3mm polyp that he removed and non-bleeding internal hemorrhoids that didn't require treatment. He said I don't have to come back for 7-10 years.

I bought a used 2016 chevy cruze with 120k km in cash back in 2021. Unfortunately I've put about 7k into it in repairs since then. The issues have never made the car completely unusable, but they're issues that needed to be fixed sooner rather than later. The frequency of the repairs is what's really making me crazy. I just had a major repair done 6 months ago, and a few days ago got a check engine light again. Along with another 3k repair estimate.
In 3 years I've almost put into the car in repairs what I paid for it in the first place. I really don't want a new car but I'm starting to feel a bit unsafe in this one. I feel like all these smaller issues mean something big is coming. So at what point do you give up on a car and eat the car payments on a new one?

Helloooo everyone!
I came on here a few weeks ago and asked for some recommendations for leggings and shorts and y'all did not lead me astray, so I am here asking for some more opinions. This time, I'm thinking about watches.
I've always owned an Apple Watch because I was a swimmer as my main sport and I'm a lifeguard, so the functionality of the Apple Watch for swimming purposes was always a really good thing for me. Now, I've just graduated college and will probably not be swimming much at all, but I will be running a whole lot more, and due to various medication and chronic illness things, keeping track of my heart rate is really important for me. I've heard that the Garmins are leagues better than the Apple Watch for tracking heart rate and cadence and things, and overall just a better watch for runners. My dad got his first Garmin about 6 years ago and swears he'll never go back to an Apple Watch. Then today, he mentioned that he's heard that the Coros Pace 3 is also pretty comparable to the Garmin and at a similar price point as the Forerunner 250/260 series.
My dilemma now is that I want to be sure that I'll get the best possible watch for tracking my runs. The other factor I'm considering is that Garmin and Coros both have heart rate monitors and Garmin just recently put out a monitor that attaches to your sports bra instead of wrapping around the whole chest which can be uncomfortable for women. Coros, however, has one that wraps around your arm and is supposedly pretty accurate. I do have pretty big arms, though, so I'm not sure how comfortably it will fit me.
So, the question is, do I go with a Garmin + Garmin sports bra HR monitor combo, get a Coros + Coros arm HR monito combo, or just stick with my Apple Watch series 8? As far as I'm concerned, I know for a fact that Garmin is a tried and true kind of brand, whereas for the Coros it may be slightly cheaper but I am not familiar with it, and my Apple Watch is already on my wrist and therefore I wouldn't have to worry about getting a new one. If I do keep my Apple Watch, I'll probably get a Garmin sportsbra HR monitor in addition, because I don't think my watch is very accurate in that department.
What's everyone's thoughts? Does anyone have a Coros watch and can vouch for it? Is the Garmin actually quantifiably better than the Apple Watch?
