    He also shifted for more WFH so he could be around and assist with the kids, brought in a nanny a few days a week to assist her as well, and if I read things right was to the point she didn't have to work a job anymore so she was a stay at home.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I was really wondering about this as well, since they made a moderately big deal about him coming back on board when it happened.... I think they need to build up to trying to redeem WoD ;)

    My version of "cloud" is the 21TB RAID array in my workshop..... I have an NVMe enclosure, but I am constantly paranoid about remembering that every so many months you need to plug it in for a few.

    Oh definitely, because when it comes down to it performance of SSDs over HDDs can't really be denied. But it's not a reason not to have a backup ;)

    This. This is my underlying theory. There are images I have from old scanned photos which either I don't own, or have been lost to time from my family, and scanned documents, and other things which I REALLY don't want to think about never having access to. And IMHO if you're going to drop...

    Call me paranoid about NVMe, but I would find a way to work in one big ass Sata HDD to, if nothing else, just store a nightly image of the other 4 drives on... Just in case. Don't know why I'm always weary of various SSD technologies.. but I am....

    This is what we call, in poker, "pot committed", although depending on that last episode it could reclassify to "tilting".

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I still have one odd WoW Dream... I remember "back in the day"... Seeing the original clips that got leaked from F&F and Alpha time. I remember seeing things like Goldshire as a full on town, with multiple streets/buildings and not just three. When the poly count was more solid and the...

    Had a real fun one this week.... Got one of the many pieces of junk mail from the AARP. It was at something like $5 a year for a membership, but I can spend that on annoying my wife, so I did. Got the card(s) in the mail. (Since I signed up it automatically makes her a member too) so I was...

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    I have no idea where the game is being played, and just walked into the living room in time to see that and had one of the most dizzying levels of "what the living fuck is going on here?!?!?" I can remember.

    Street Fighter (2026)

    I hold this to the same bar I held the MK movie to. Does it realize what it is? Does it attempt to be the epitome of what it is? This should not be a high bar looking at the cast and trailers. What do I want to see? People fighting, Chun-li whipping ass, and innocent background cars getting...

    Yeah, it definitely doesn't work well for your long term "lifelong" strategy. In my case I'm only considering it this late as a way to help shave a little off the tax portion of what I'm going to owe diversifying out of a large overly-concentrated position.

    That's part of the structure. I'm not buying a "fund". I am funding an account, then within that account their people buy all the individual stocks , buying and selling actual individual shares, and weaving around wash sale rules. So I don't own $100k of <fund>, I own $100k of individual...

    I agree, which is why I'm digging through their stuff right now. Just didn't know if anybody else was leveraging this strategy... Seems it's called "tax-loss harvesting via direct indexing". They manage an account and inside it they individually invest in a mix of stocks approximating an...

    Okay, which one do you weebs is this? Not going to lie though, I was expecting this car show and wrap show at an anime convention to be a whole bunch of little rice burning nonsense cars, and there's a shocking number of very nice BMWs and Porsches that have ridiculous waifu wraps on them

    So it's apparently gotten out that the new Magneto in the new movie won't have the holocaust backstory. And the internet is taking it exactly as you'd expect it to. My edgelord response was "Make him Palestinian" But in reality, I think they could just use it to subtly introduce one of the...
