The "Point Break" actor?? Lol, ok. That's what he's best known for

Fang fang tail just set back everyone's 401k a year...

is she really a spy or is every business in china owned by the govt? seriously, i haven't bothered to learn much about china. was he just getting some ass or was he selling secrets? my guess is he has enough $$ that best she could hope for was emailing secrets back home while he takes his...

should we give a fuck who he's fucking? outside of his wife and kids, we should just judge him based on how the company he's running is doing. am i wrong?

I'm about half way through book 5, the dramatized version on Audible. Its fun, I don't know if its better than the normal narrator I listed to for the first 4 books. Its like a 1940s radio show, sound effects pretty consistently. Foot steps if he talks about walking, door hinge sounds if he...

the narrator so far does a great job at doing a woman's voice in a way that ... is neutral and I can zone out into the story. There's DCC which is so spot on that I didn't know it was a guy reading in a girl's voice. Then there's Neuromancer, in which the dude tries too hard to do a girls...

Almost done with book 4, best one so far. 1 and 2 didn't really hook me, but 3 picked up a lot. I got the solo narrator on audible for them so far. Is the dramatisation with multiple narrators worth trying for the next book?

just finished it today, I enjoyed it enough to hope they do another season.

Matt's said that he has a plan to end DCC. I can't remember if it's 2 more books, or 1 book in 2 parts, but the end is planned. I try not to listen to the spoilers out there, people relaying what they're getting from Patreon. I'm grateful he's getting that $$, but I don't want to read it one...

simple investing as step 2, step 1 just to look at my accounts. what Mint did was look at all your banks, credit cards, etc, and gave you a total summary. less investing but more a total review of your spending. Mint could summarize everything as "you have X pending credit card dept, X $$...

Did anyone use Mint (not mobile) for finance tracking? It was shut down shortly after Intuit bought it and I've never found anything I liked or trusted as much. Grok Bot (not Grok, but also owned by SpaceX) seems to have a similar feature vai Plaid. I'm tempted to try it out. Initially, I'm...

Man, I'm struggling with HWFWM. I'm almost half way through book 1, awesome that it's almost 24 hours in audible, most of the books seem to be 20+ hours long. I bought the first 12 on s crazy sale a while back. 1st, the narrator must have a sound board for " Jason says" and "Gary said"...

A movie about pedophiles where pedophiles aren't the villain? I'm out

finally getting around to watching EP2. a fucking dick? really? wtf....

HSA if your employer has a health plan that allows you to participate in one. One thing I don't get is the "get out of here as soon as possible ". I have friends that are start to think this way. They aren't looking at just outside the city, but states away. Not chasing their kids or moving...
