IMO Grummz is a trash source who regularly exaggerates and lies for views. There was no fine. There wasn't even any government response. A privacy firm filed a complaint based on a customer pissed about always-on connectivity. Ubisoft was collecting the same always-on crap for SP games (time...

Was pretty funny watching the gameplay reveal, then watching this. Can I play this game instead?

Here's a fairly innocuous example from my own mortgage: If I choose 2 payments or if I choose 1 payment and add $1,000 principal, what I'll see at the bottom of the screen is submitting for a $2,000 payment that will come out of my bank account. I think it's more about homeowners educating...

Yep. It's really something you'll want to re-evaluate at the time you plan to start cashing out. OTOH, you might want to just switch to actual cost now so you don't fuck up in 10 years by selling one share and locking in everything prior. Once you're on actual cost you can change the order you...

Cost basis is how capital gains are calculated--it's the official price you bought the stock at. You only pay taxes on the sale price (or reduce ordinary income by the losses) above and beyond the cost basis--the capital gains. I buy a share for $100, I sell it for $120, I am only paying taxes...

I wish I could know how I'd react to that trailer without having seen Falcon and the Winter Soldier. That show completely poisoned the Sam Wilson character for me, and I don't think Mackie has the star quality to pull me back in. Agree with @Juvarisx on the tone, though. That said, I remember...

I was curious about this as well, since S&P 500 makes up 100% of my portfolio. Specifically, about using 200D as a metric for market timing to sell and then buy back in. Below is a chart that shows every day the S&P500 was <=14% above the 200 day moving average since 1960. The chart then...

Last large post from me on the CPI derail. Firstly, I agree that every soundbite an administration posts about interpreting inflation, jobs, wages, "preliminary" numbers are all bullshit and politically motivated. The Biden admin claiming "fastest growing economy" by using a baseline of the...

Okay, chart crimes aside... this will be a long one, but I want to lay out my POV. I'll start with the money supply, then move to 8% inflation. First, regarding the 'shape of the curve', it's easier to get a high r^2 when you compare two "total volume" datasets that both go up. Something that...

This guy is a fucking scam artist. Don't trust him. Look at this fucking chart: Just look at the axes: Left - S&P: 1100 to 5100 = 360% increase Right - "Global Liquidity": 90 - 170 = 90% increase And this piece of shit is trying to convince people that the value of the assets of the largest...

+1 for Doom Eternal. Definitely more mechanically complex than 2016 (probably harder on a first playthrough? I haven't played 2016 in a while), but as a result you feel like more of a god when you're in the flow. Top 5 game for me--combat is so crisp and punishing. Dark Ages trailer looks...

I was like, that's crazy, didn't they just make Gurren Lagann...? 17 years ago.
