Apropros of the new season of the Rings of Power: ”Sometimes you cannot know [the light] until you have touched the darkness”

I bottom-fished intc stock once and reeled in a shoe.

and i learned that this dude bagged nina dobrev of course, you have to be ugly AND a world-class athlete

my favorite charlieism is when he took over USF, they went from 83rd most penalized team to 44th, to 1st.

And people lament that the American Dream is dead...

Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of our 401Ks. A day may come when the price of NVDA fails, when we forsake the Nasdaq and break all bonds of FAANG, but it is not this day. An hour of deleveraging and selloffs when the AI boom comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we HODL!

After that mini fakecrash this has been the boringest 2 weeks i can remember.

I liked snow blades before they were cool

the more that fucker suffers the better it is for humanity

it took me way too long to learn this -- mostly because ive never really had to do work work in my life -- but if i really want to get something done on the computer, i could literally just close microsoft outlook. and/or the corporate chat program.

getting into cross-country skiing this year. all the cool people are doing it.

The ~30B gap between book value and market cap happens to be the exact same as the "goodwill" and "intangibles" on their balance sheet. Maybe investors recognize the worthlessness of those accounting. Other fabs then earn a premium on growth.

And its the industrialization from corporate-farming and its large-scale effects that has improved agricultural yield all over the world, outpacing population growth. Wealthier countries like the US are synonymous with larger farms, which are more productive (per capita), providing its people with lowest cost of food.

My employer provides defined-benefits pension for expat contract. At mid-career I have a chunk of my retirement pot from that. But my friend of similar age, who is a cop, has full retirement in a few years, and that aint so bad either. Well, compared to having dealt with stabbers and getting shot at and piss thrown at, thats the least they can do for him.

It is a 100% easier and more sensible to tax that scenario than to implement unrealized cg tax. it would almost be akin to a tax on consumption (a notional consumption of capital)…which is the fairest form of tax but we’ll save that diversion for another day.

The answer you seek is embedded in your sentence.

The best source for credit card data is from the consumer finance protection bureau. https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_consumer-credit-card-market-report_2023.pdf My favorite takeaway from this is what the industry call “prime” borrower is actually prime to the lenders: they generate tons of interest fees. Their scores are 660-720. Theres a category above them called “prime plus”; and its not until you get to the “superprime” (800+) who use the card for transacting purposes aka float. They make up 1/3rd of cardholders, not 1/2.

Real example my niece just got into super mario bros because of the movie, and started grade school this year, so i printed her this pencil holder.

I expected this to happen but ive already run through 5 spools of filament and steadily printing more. A few things are functional household items like workshop organizers and etc, but most are toys for the little ones in my family: sandcastle molds, model cars, spinning tops, boomerangs, spirographs, articulating figurines, and neat stuff like these surprise eggs most of these work really well, but you also learn the limitations of the materials and process. an unexpected outcome out of all of this is an appreciation for high volume industrial manufacturing. when im looking at my kids hot wheels-sized car thats made out of 4 types of plastics in different colors and finishes and has metal axles and rubber tires that all fits perfectly and survives being stomped on and abandoned in the backyard through multiple winters and costs all of $1 to purchase…in which contains profit for the seller, the distributor, the manufacturer, and everyone in between, its tantamount to a fucking miracle.
