  1. I was never satisfied with doing schnitzel / cotoletta / fried cutlets at home until i cracked the code: the meat has to be **thin** Presliced pork or veal typically comes in at 1cm thick. You have to butterfly that sumbitch in half. Then it becomes super easy to tenderize. Then after breading (in whole-wheat breadcrumbs) and frying it comes out 99% restaurant style, like a true Wirtshaus.
  2. Top sirloin w/ fat cap (aka picanha) is criminally underrated. First grill day of the season. Tomorrow dust off the pizza oven 🍕
  3. AI-generated thirst trap video avatar + facile money tips would be an absolute banger on OF
  4. I regret not doing a sleep study when i literally lived next to a sleep study lab and was single and had nights to burn. BMI low 20s so the only remedy might be to fucking zap my tonsils with a laser or something.
  5. Yeah, i sleep with the girlfriend. Wife sleeps with the dog. But forreal, we transitioned to separate blankets. I have a thinner one, she has a thicker one, and we never have to jostle for it. We also use separate adjustable slats under the mattress so the bedfeel is slightly different on each side. I snore tons. She got used to it. Once in a blue moon if one of us is deeply ill we might sleep separate.
  6. What many people dont understand is that under the PostModern Portfolio Theory, the ideal 60/40 portfolio actually refers to an allocation of 60% Trumpcoin and 40% Kamalacoins
  7. If you dont listen to the Wu Tang Clan on bond diversification, who *are* you supposed to listen to? Some guys on a message board?
  8. Even if signals portend an AI bubble, I think its an indictment of the EU/RoW that they were never even involved in the first place (besides Mistral?). Neither were they comparably significant in streaming, social media, robotics, cloud computing, fintech, or any other major trends. They get credit for perhaps clean energy, robotics, and fat pills. Not enough, IMO.
  9. im also using internal/europe interchangeably. because most of the time we're referring to dax/ftse/stoxxx anyway and nobody cares about ibovespa or nifty50 or asx
  10. Scott Galloway and Kara Swisher agreeing on something is a pretty good warning sign to do the opposite. I agree with the sentiment that US markets are stretched. I don't agree that internationals are the answer. The US outperformance hasnt been just a flash phenomenon -- its been true for any period of time this century you reference from, before/during/after any major economic events, Dotcom, GFC, Covid, etc. There is a good reason the US indices have outperformed Europe: nothing of their regulatory environment or tax regime or consumer capacity or even appetite suggest fertile grounds for economic growth. Can someone name offhand 5 European success stories? Spotify... Adyen... and... LVMH? maybe some Pharmaceuticals? The US has 10x SAPs for every 1x of Germany's. Earnings growth for all the Europe indices is half of that in the US (~5% vs 10%). If you correct that for that in their ntm P/E, the ratios all fall back into line.
  11. Long calls on cash-delivered CR futures. imo
  12. Saw an Audi ETron GT at a lot. I actually dont like the looks of its, but this one had brakes that caught my eye. Gigantic saucers of a thing, but especially in a mirror-perfect finish. So apparently, a few companies offer them aftermarket, but Porsche also do them as 'Surface Coated Brakes' using tungsten carbide. Can't be too compromised if Porsche puts them on the Cayenne. And the ETron has regenerative braking so friction brakes arent leaned on too much. Catchy stuff.
  13. I've run through so many shitty 3rd party wired and wireless charging shit* I'd advise to spend the premium and buy stuff endorsed by Apple through their store. It's the least bad heuristic**. Never used that specific wireless charger, but recently bought a Mophie multi-port wired charger and it's the least shitty version of that device of the 5+ that I have. *even "good" brands like Anker is shit. **it's not infallable. recently had a bunch of fresh OEM Apple lighting cables fail too.
  14. What he meant to say was don't overreact and just stay the course, like the Titanic.
  15. I bragged on the Intel thread about some equity + options positions that were absolutely stonking. And now they're just a hair above profitable. (Gonna grab more) Nibbled on the Target drop a while back, and that was great too, except now its sliding into the red.
  16. Apparently I had SPY575 orders, and those just hit. The 570s havent triggered just yet... maybe today or tomorrow?
  17. In Europe atleast, where employment protection are generally higher, most people subject to RIF who involve a lawyer ended up getting 25/50% improvement on their severance. I know a particularly egregious case, where the guy was a clear underperformer and deserved to get cut with 0 recompense but he gamed the system masterfully. When the axe was coming for him, he took a year off on paid medical leave - citing stress-induced ailments and such - which afforded him *more* protection. When offered a small multiple of salary to leave, his lawyer drew out the negotiation for another 6 months while he sat at home “recovering”. Employer finally had to settle for a sizeable multiple of his salary. He wasn’t an executive either, just a mid level employee in my group. And his resume involved a new company every few years (unusual for Europe), so now we realize he must have already played this game a few times.
  18. i hope to god this was you
  19. I've always found the comments that the interior is "cheap" was a misguided critique by those judging just from photos. Obviously, tastes are subjective. What I really mean is that in typical cars, the driver is enveloped by the dash with its instrument cluster and centerstack with banks of gauges and buttons. And on that basis you would would say those components are nicer in an Audi than they are in a Ford. You can't avoid them. They're prominently in your face. In a Tesla, those things are entirely absent. The dash is low and the most visible thing is the greenhouse/exterior view. So the interior is neither nice or cheap, it's that when you're actually driving the car, it's simply not noticeable at all.
  20. Switched from 14 Pro to 16 standard and…dang… this 60hz max refresh rate sucks. Ordered online, never seen in person. I had 12Pro and 14Pro and thought the 16Pro would be physically larger (its not), and I never used any of the photographic features on the Pros so I went standard. Turns out you dont notice the 60Hz jerkiness when you upgrade to 120Hz ProMotion display. But you do notice jerkiness when you downgrade from it. Kinda like watching the occasional standard def programming when youre used to 1080P.

  24. Im a net seller of call options on 90% of my UVXY transactions but in my IRA i dont fuck with uncapped risk positions so I bought some puts on it. 🙈
