Had a chance to play for a couple hours on the stress test. First time in and playing. And the Stress Test realm/server setups didn't have the starter tutorial so I had to figure everything out on my own.... With that said, still had a good time, got beaten up some by hail until I figured...

They also want a confiscatory wealth tax... Which assets outside the normal banking sphere could potentially inoculate you from to a degree.

Gold isn't as horrible an idea as silver. For it to break even you only have to go up 5% in value rather than 15%+ for silver if you're buying 1oz rounds.

But if you're looking for physical value stores there are several that don't start you off 15% behind and are also less than easily taxed when passed along. Hell, buy rare collectable guitars, books, etc.

OK. Completely tangential question here, and not even relating to stocks but still involving "investments" Is there ANY real rational reason for someone to ACTUALLY fall for the nonsense they're pandering to the olds to buy physical silver as an investment? I was looking at buying silver, but...

This is close, but in the current post-dot-com-boom era the dance looks more like this.. (saying this from having watched multiple startups go through this cycle) Brilliant people come up with a brilliant product They hire enough sales people with enough sense to build a business model around...

I can attest to seeing this first hand. Middle managers spawning supervisors below them and continuously needing to improve processes which inevitably means hiring more underlings... The company I work at just did a sweep or reorganization and did away with an entire swath of middle managers...

I just take a simpler approach...

This was from an article I read, apparently the conditioner relaxes the fibers of natural fabric such as linen and cotton allowing them to relax and stretch back out to their original size. Once I took it out of the washer I simply put my feet on the bottom of the robe grab my hands at the...

Right now we're around 1 year past the in laws hitting this phase (grandkids were all adult/late teen and not coming over much) so they downsized into a little place.... And I'm starting to hear stories from the MIL which tells me she's missing having a yard for their dog, space of their own...

This is true. But I think we've established this is solid "Stop letting those pesky details stop you from enjoying the show" material at this point.

What are you saying. Kevin Hart needs to be in the next Tron movie.. .as a compression algorithm. Roll with the name Gzip. Or make him the compression utility nobody takes serious and call him WinRar.

Update because I know you people truly care about my robe life.... If you have a cotton/linen item which was shrunk by putting through a dryer... Put it back in the wash on warm, don't add detergent, instead add around 1/4 cup of conditioner (yes, like you use on your hair). Let it run...

At one point I regularly walked to the Wendy's near my work to have lunch multiple times a week because I could sit in that sunroom/solarium area they all had in the sun to eat, while also being in air conditioning because.. well... Texas.

Today my jimmies are being rustled by the downfall of a PERFECT FUCKING ROBE. For x-mas this year @Mrs. Haus got me a new house robe. I've always been picky about robes, to the point I at one point had three robes. One thin linen, one flurry microfiber (for morning warmth), and one terry...

For the Dallas locals...

Yeah, I have a couple friends who are born/raised Detroit people. Dyed in the wool Red Wings/Lions fans.... You'd think they had each just won the lottery talking to them last night. heh And yeah... Jordan Love is the real deal. The Packers have had the most phenomenal possible luck in my...

So... Not to be outdone by their parent network putting a whole playoff game behind a paywall, the local Dallas NBC affiliate cut off the Rams/Lions game with 1:50 to go in the the quarter to cut to BREAKING WEATHER NEWS that a suburb or two north of town were experiencing some light, dry snow...

Nobody remembers that game because NBC put it behind a $6 paywall and that was enough to keep most of the viewers away..... Which I suppose does say something.

Sorry to pass this along late.. I was sobbing into my brisket.

I won't believe any number that comes out of them until they agree to an independent audit.....

Back in the day.... we just used the number of corns on your feet to know when you qualified for retirement. As was in fashion at the time....

Ah.. seeing IPX network and remembering loading Netware IPX/SPX drivers from a 3.5 floppy before playing.... Unrelated :

Are we getting ready to nuke someone and nobody told me?

I had new headshots done at a business event recently.... Seeing them after a coworker quoted "Looks like business Santa wants to see your ROI projections on that new bike Timmy!"

I'm just gonna ask all of you to be seated for this one....

BTC is the Ricky Bobby of investment options...

I remember working full time, having two running AD&D campaigns, and ALSO playing a PBM strategy/combat game with a group of friends. The odd part was that the people I was mailing sheets to and from for the Play-by-mail (yes, literally a map conquest strategy game played over US Mail), they...

The wife and I are binging this and about to finish season 2. Being first generation in the city from the farm, and still having relatives in that life I can attest to a lot of the pain and stress he sees. (Like the random nod or shake from the weather gods putting you deep in the green or...

How new of a version of Excel do you need exactly? Will the 2019 version do you or need something REALLY new? https://www.bobkeys.com/software/p201810041036027074.html That's where I get my Windows keys when I build systems for my relatives. heh. And I'm running that Office Pro right now.

Closest place I can think of to post this.... And since I am the self ordained person to bring the potato religion to you people here we are... https://sharingideas.me/growing-potatoes-without-soil-a-comprehensive-guide-to-aeroponic-potato-cultivation/

Possibly the worst possible outcome for me. Guy I'm in the playoffs against in my fantasy league had Mostertt, Dak, And Lamb. (and yes got one of those through a questionable trade...) Harvests enough points for a comfortable cushion ahead of me, and yet the Cowboys still lose.....

So it's "Guess who's coming to Tamale dinner"?

I FEEL qualified. That's the important part here. It's literally taking the opposite of "Don't buy your own hype" and making it a life philosophy.
