    You know you're getting old when.....

    Started going gray in my mid 20's. Now pretty solidly silver up top, and getting there in my beard as well.

    Never heard of metformin having that affect. But the muscles that help your eyes focus do get worse as you get older, which is one reason lots of us end up needing readers.

    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    OK, pondering for the day.... I have a larger than I'd like pile of stock in one particular company (i.e. the one I work for). I plan on diversifying that some within the next 3-6 months depending on a number of variables (probably take half out and diversify that between long term ETF holds...

    Billie Piper as the Doctor... Oh for fuck's sake..... This looks like such an insanely desperate and shallow ploy to try to get back viewers they've lost probably since the first half of Capaldi and on. I can only hope it's a "shock value" regeneration like the second coming of Tenant was...

    Damnit.. now my brain made me go look things up... This looks like the best assessment I can find so far, which puts him at #19 on the top free agents list... So another factor would end up being "Stars can offer you half what you can make on the market, but what are your odds on getting a...

    It's figuring to play on the "He wants to retire a Star" angle, the "home town discount" bit, all that. Plus if you've watched him this year you can tell the wheels just aren't there like they used to be and he knows it. He's ending up behind plays.. a LOT. Which is causing him to take more...

    NHL 2024-2025: Definitely the Leafs year

    I think what we've seen through the regular season and playoffs now is that the talent exists within the players. I think the shake up might need to be on the coaching staff. Maybe HC, maybe not, but if not, then he needs to retool his coaching staff under him and find a way to get players...

    In the post game Deboer talked about pulling Oettenger. Awash in the usual "wake the team up" coash speak, but then included the tidbit of "He's lost 6 of his last 7 against the Oilers in the playoffs and let it 2 in the first 5 minutes of the game". IMHO, and it's only from a fan...

    And he has two options for re-issuing the tariffs (The Tariff Act itself and the Reciprocal Tariff Act) which would both be far harder to find legal basis to overturn. This injunction/judgement was over him using the economic emergency powers BS.

    But in a scenario where cash, gold, and silver are all legal tender.... Why in the name of God would you EVER spend gold or silver instead of cash? Your cash is CONSTANTLY being devalued and debased, the metals aren't. You should be spending the cash to buy more gold and silver...

    I think before "recompile this to be Linux compatible" we're going to simply have to live with "Do a micro-virtualization kernel wrap around this executable so it THINKS it's on a windows system".

    She worked in a variant of that as well... "Looking at this old CT scan this was a simple cyst, then it suddenly turned complex, and one on the other kidney as well? That just doesn't happen." She wants to throw me through some genetic screening for some short list of strange possible causes.

    That's becoming the definite end game for this one. I've just had fish to fry in line ahead of this. One part of the history of this particular wheel is that it had a tiny crack in the wheel at some point which required repair, right now my growing odds on bet is that the repair didn't...

    This can literally be answered by a noob MMO guide.... Use the gear you get while leveling, don't spend your gold on the AH on gear you're going to outlevel, save that gold for end game progression. (i.e. don't blow your cash on assets that don't appreciate in value with you, save it for real...

    That's not gaming the system, that's playing the game as designed. It's just that they're better at it, and/or have better guilds. L2P and/or L2NS If you want class rebalancing and more loot for lowbies you need to talk to the devs, not bitch at the progression players who are better geared...

    Also, if you have certain modern fancy bits... Like in my case a Samsung Galaxy Watch 3... It will help you if you give it your height and weight, then it will use sensors to also measure body fat percentage.

    The most successful weight loss run I've done in my lifetime was done when I just made a spreadsheet in google sheets and tracked everything I ate with a mind that if I could be at ~1900 calories per day I was at maintenance, and every 500 calories a day under that would result in about 1lb a...

    There is a regional VP of sales I deal with on some calls where he has his bi-weekly status/forecasting calls. And at some point he is usually going to call on individual account managers to give an update on their pipeline, etc. Normal sales stuff. Now, he usually runs long and doesn't have...

    Great googily moogily... Don't we have a section around here somewhere with the epic legends and lore from FOH/Rerolled/Re-Rerolled/etc ? I know I can't do justice to telling the tale of the Megan Fox of Ohio... and her love of gaming consoles.

    That is true about cars now. Although with a Bluetooth ODBII reader I can pull codes and figure out what's wrong most of the time. Now the tools needed for some cars (like it takes a full lift and specialized tools to change the transmission fluid in my Caddy) that pushes it past many folks...

    It's not, IMHO, brain drain. It's that we have been blessed with this tool that puts so much of the knowledge in the whole world into our literal pockets, and being the inherently lazy beings that most humans are, people leverage it to get a thing done fast and out of the way and then forget it...
