    Question for those that write PUTs: do you ever write PUT options with expiration dates that are considerably distant (not more than year, though) for stocks that you genuinely intend to possess? Specifically, I'm interested in TMF which appears to have found a nice floor around $7. However...

    Angular upgrades - usually the worst thing ever

    Not realistic for huge projects, but I usually do an ng new app and manually port everything over incremetally. Every time I've tried the upgrade option something goes awry.

    I wish Seven would've went back to the bun hairstyle as Starfleet officer. Isn't there typically rules about long hair in the military? Remembering Sam in SG1.

    annnnd it closed above 316. I dunno, I'm almost tempted to buy calls at open if the market gaps down in the morning. It seems like it always works its way back up during the day.

    Star Trek: Picard

    As a TNG wrap-up it's only appropriate for this season's villain to be the Borg. Just a shame they had to fuck with them in S1 and 2. I'll just pretend those seasons don't exist.

    The IV on those are crazy high. Maybe that's normal? Anything over 50 scares me.

    Crash land on a planet that's just hours away from getting hit by an extinction level event. Talk about bad luck.

    I always preferred the harder edges of the TOS ships. However, having said that, I truly do have a new appreciation for the 1701-D.

    There was a transporter glitch in The Motion Picture that killed two. What was left "didn't live long".

    Star Trek: Picard

    I was recently discussing another Outer Limits episode from that 90s reboot (specifically the Quality of Mercy and Light Brigade). Really wish one of the streaming services would resume that series.

    "Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own." Yeah, I know, but they don't have to. If the Borg rolled up with an army of cubes it would be over in short order.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Last 10 minutes was straight into the feels. Wow. I thought the Borg reveal was kinda meh, however. The whole transporter being the means of assimilation is indeed clever. But that's the thing, I've never felt the Borg are "clever". They should win with pure overwhelming force and that's...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    The world, from a design standpoint, looks fantastic. But I'm not sure I can tolerate the washed out visuals. Everything has that hazy look I mentioned previously. It's really distracting.

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    The lack of a 'suspend' or 'pause' was a massive oversight. But in no way does there need to be checkpoints. Returnal works in a very similar manner to Dark Souls: you work your way through an area, finally reaching a shortcut which opens up quick access to new areas. Returnal is the same way.

    I agree, but I'm trying to understand "why". I would think, long-term wise, most energy plays should be reasonably safe. Especially as investors switch to commodities.

    Do you wish you would've bought oil when it went negative? UNG is the United States Natural Gas Fund, an ETF. I'm speaking about a long-term hold. Sure, it could certainly go lower but I'd just add more when I can. If this was a single company, I would avoid it.

    How does this work then? Outside of hubs, it seems like one of the players has to host a session.

    Correct, you'll unlock traits on weapons the more you use it. And, since traits are randomly assigned, you'll occasionally get a weapon with a combination of traits that make it totally OP.

    Guys, seriously, it's NOT that difficult. I defeated the final boss on the first attempt. And I'm a 51-year-old gamer that isn't particularly skilled.

    Well, it has very strong support at 0.

    Any thoughts on one starting to accumulate UNG? I recall someone here mentioning natural gas. This ETF has completely fallen off a cliff. And there's no way it'll remain this low forever. Unless I'm missing something about things in natural gas land?

    Returnal (PS5) (April 30th)

    The second area (actually, all areas) are only accessible after defeating a boss. Bosses are behind a giant red door show on the map. The main path through a level is never blocked by a keyed door. Anything that requires a key is purely optional. I'm guessing you missed going down a branch...

    You find keys randomly to open those doors and chests. It may not be possible to open everything. Who cares, it's random.

    Yeah, a friend showed me all this stuff he had built. And while it was impressive, it's like no one will ever see this. Why bother? Why not allow everyone to exist simultaneously in the universe? It's sure as hell big enough. I imagine there could be issues if everyone congregated to the...

    I would think Nintendo's time is running out on handhelds. As phones become cheaper and more powerful, kids can play games on those. Hell, game streaming (like with GeForce Now) is pretty impressive, so it doesn't even require high-end hardware. Nintendo could easily become irrelevant in...
