    High-impact activities, too. My wife tried to take part in an osteoporosis study and was thrown out because her bone density was off the scale from 20 years of falls in judo and jiu jitsu. Gymnasts get this, too, if they eat enough.

    Ultimately it means you have bad moisture control in the soil which will lead to the decay of the concrete, but maybe not over the timescale of your lifespan. I've got some in my crawlspace because the previous owners installed sprinklers too close to the foundation. Not a major problem in my...

    Despite fears of communism, estate taxes are about the lowest they've been in 100 years and half of what they were 1940-70. The exemption threshold is up 20x since the 90's. Leftist noises aside, the functional trend is in the opposite direction. I'll start worrying about my wealth when it isn't...

    You still won't be middle class when they lower the exemption threshold, and I'm sure will be able to use trusts to get around inheritance tax like the rich have been doing forever. Hell, I have a trust set up for my wife and kids. Everyone should.

    Good news is if you're hiding 13M in gold to keep the other 13M of your estate tax-free, you're not middle class.

    You've got to be more cynical than that. Both the numbers and public justifications are massaged together in service of the monetary policy they find necessary. 100% they've got access to and look at the "real" labor numbers we all complain about.

    They're trying to leverage the channel's reach in order to have their scam videos promoted by the algorithm and hope they can snag a few suckers. https://www.wired.com/story/youtube-bitcoin-scam-account-hijacking-google-phishing/ I'm surprised Mattias wasn't using 2FA given his tech background...

    I've watched my wife's career enough that I know it's completely naive to say there's no workplace discrimination anywhere, but I personally know a bunch of VCs from my MBA network and those guys are the most colorblind people I know because the only things they see are numbers and dollar signs...

    My dad was backpacking in Alaska in the 70's and saw someone driving a Miata in an accident like that. Hit a bull moose and swept out its legs. Moose crushed the car, rolled over the driver killing them, landed in the back seat, and walked away. Moose are fucking big:
