  1. Go to either https://portfoliometrics.net/ or https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio#analysisResults and enter what you own. You can then back test how that portfolio has performed historically. You can set up withdrawing dividends or withdrawing a percentage or fixed amount monthly/annually and see how it performs. You may realize that you can cash flow a healthy amount of extra income without needing to sell all of it at once and take a big tax hit. Of course, back testing doesn't predict the future but it's about the best tool available for the average person.
  2. Yesterday, the Couch Fucker did say a federal abortion ban is coming.
  3. Does it lead to South Austin's mom's bedroom?
  4. I thought the Fleshlight was manufactured in Austin.
  5. Well, special education is currently on the chopping block so public school won't be providing that service either. Look at all the money saved!
  6. There was an article last week that said when adjusted for inflation, Texas school funding is at the 2011 levels.
  7. Which country is going to be the first one to roll out the red carpet for our best and brightest to immigrate? That has to be being discussed in most European countries.
  8. Pulled the trigger on Russian Circles tickets at Mohawk. They kicked ass at Levitation a few years back.
  9. I don't know shit about fuck either but some quick back of the napkin math: There are 10,500 AISD employees. At an average salary of $50,000, that's $525,000,000 in raw salary. Add in 40% for payroll taxes, benefits, retirement, that's another $210,000,000. So, it's $735,000,000 for just staff. I would also guess that the electric bill each month is at a minimum of $10,000. For 113 campuses, that's over $13,000,000/year just in electric bills.
  10. When a school district goes to 4-day weeks, do they cut teacher and staff salaries by 20%? That's the bulk of expenses for an ISD. I think that has happened in other states.
  11. They're merging with Spirit to be the Spirit of the Southwest. Now the fist fights will start in the family boarding line and not just be in the air.
  12. Just saw CA: BNW. Talk about a movie where nothing happens. First, is Jew Girl a little person? She’s about 4’6” and it’s distracting AF when she’s on screen. She looks like a 9 YO playing dress up. This movie is so chopped to shreds that there’s one scene where she is wearing her superhero outfit but it’s never referenced and she doesn’t do anything. I like Tim Blake Nelson but he is miscast as the lamest Marvel villain so far. It doesn’t help that his character design looks like a plastic supermarket Halloween costume from the early 80s. When he was revealed, the entire theater laughed. It didn’t help that he already looks a bit regarded and his bad makeup and contacts make it worse. Overall, the movie isn’t terrible and it’s not good. I wish something happened to tip the scales one way or the other but it never did.
  13. If you look at Facebook on a Chrome browser, there’s an add-in called Social Fixer. You can block all Suggestions and Advertisements from your feed. Once I found that setting, I realized 95% of my feed was unwanted bullshit and basically no one I know posts any longer.
  14. There’s a bill to make Trump’s birthday a federal holiday.
  15. Recapture will increase to cover for the 100+ ISD’s whose home values are under the new $100K exemption and don’t owe any property taxes.
  16. All probationary staff are being let go and all of the seasonal staff are gone. The parks are going to be absolutely trashed without supervision.
  17. Lady Bird didn't want Town Lake to be named after her. The city council went against their wishes.
  18. Found a pair of $180 floor tickets for the 2nd Jack White show at ACL. I don't think I'd find anything much cheaper than that.
  19. They're already calling it lingering Bidenflation, so there's that.
  20. In Canada, prices that end in .01 or .02 round down to .00 and .03 & .04 round up to .05. But we will do something stupid that makes no sense.
  21. Turns out Vince Neil's plane ran into a plane owned by Vince Vaughn. Vince Young better watch his back.
  22. Pro move is to buy two, eat half of each, and return both.
  23. My company sends out travel advisory memos daily since we operate in like 150 countries. Yesterday, we got one for the Gaines County measles outbreak.
