You don't have to SPEND it within 10 years, just take it out. A common way to set this up is with an annuity, you get a tenth of the total every year for 10 years. The reason is because you're going to pay income tax on whatever you pull out, just like it was a paycheck.
When you get your stipend, you can put some into an IRA of your own to offset taxes, or a Roth IRA if that makes financial sense.
I highly recommend talking to a financial advisor, find one listed as a "fiduciary" in your area. You have plenty in this account to spend a couple of thousand dollars making sure it's set up right, which could save you a lot in the long run. They can help you figure out the timing and what to do with whatever you get each year to your best benefit. They should also be able to refer you to an accountant if you need one, especially this first year.

You aren't going to run short on population if you have people coming in all the time, especially folks with families. But those aren't the babies they want, they want more white babies.

Comment on Tildes Survey #1: How old are you? in ~talk
tanglisha Link ParentI'd say asking one question at a time and deleting ip addresses in between offers decent anonymity. Out of curiosity, why collect ip at all? More than one person can easily have the same address.I'd say asking one question at a time and deleting ip addresses in between offers decent anonymity. Out of curiosity, why collect ip at all?

LOCAL voting can matter a lot for everyday life, but a lot of people ignore everything but presidential elections. So when folks are told to vote that's what they think of.

They get their irrigation water from some kind of flood system, still costs money but not as much as city water. I can't seen to figure out if this is an environmental positive or negative.
Because the property is mostly sand, they have started with raised beds and have put down compost made of animal waste, food scraps, and arborist wood chips where they eventually plan to plant in the ground. Last year the chickens ate all of the plants, this year they're better separated with a fence and greenhouse. I'm actually confused why they're using the greenhouse when it's been over 80F/26C every day I've been here and has recently been over 100F/38C.

The taller a woman is the less likely she is to care, otherwise she ends up with a pretty small daring pool. Most of the women I know who have height as a requirement are very small themselves - one actually told me she would only date men over 6'2" because she didn't want short kids.

That means every time I go back to a language I haven't used in over a year I need to research the correct date and/or time library to use at this point in tone and how to use it. Without that research I might end up with an outdated library that for example doesn't take into account the most recent daylight savings information.
I've never even heard of Temporal, last time I needed it I used Moment. I think.

Obviously the planes falling from the sky thing was overblown, along with the Y2K compliance stickers on everything that took batteries, but a lot of people spent a lot of time making updates. I guess we might find out in 2038.
