    My old Edward Jones account executive (account my dad setup for me when I was 18) still sends me a birthday and christmas card even though I pulled the majority of my money out of it almost a decade ago. But lots of it is because it is a small town and that entire office is manned by a dude, his...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Are you just trying to be contrarian for no reason here? Every society that ever developed developed along similar lines. Nomadic cultures in both recorded history and pre-history followed around their primary source of food. Because they were dependent on whatever animal they had to follow it...

    Yes, I don't understand what question or point you are trying to get at. Every 401k I have ever participated in offers the typical ETF funds. Be they Vanguard, Fidelity, or some other one. They are similar enough and I never found a reason to move things around in them. As I max out my 401k...

    Dunno, the index funds offered by most 401ks are similar enough. But once you max out your tax advantaged accounts you just go into the normal taxable one. I fuck around with individual stocks often enough but the overwhelming majority of my money is in index funds like any sensical person who...

    BLUE EYE SAMURAI

    This is good shit. Seems every few years Netflix can produce something of quality. Although I dislike that they made the main character a woman in name only. As she acts in every other way like a man which just doesn't really make sense. Similar situations like Mulan or Arya in Game of Thrones...

    I parked a large amount of cash into FZROX a few years ago and have had quite good returns. https://fundresearch.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/summary/31635T708 0% Expense funds do exist just saying.

    And remember this is Western Siberia. Not the comparatively densely populated European continent (even in pre-history). So, what societies were in Siberia exactly that required the construction of complex defensive fortifications? You don't build that shit to deter wandering reindeer and bears.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Visiting the fam over the holidays I always make it a point to have a little pilgrimage to my favorite childhood pizza place. It's a one store restaurant that started in the late 50s. Now I don't know how to describe it but my mom says all local pizza places uses to serve pizza this way. But as...

    I watched part of it. Is she an Onlyfans thot or what? She didn't mention it. But she's on the dole and squats in a LA apartment claiming mold. Which is a common California rent-avoiding scam. I liked the stripper one more. Stripper wasn't even as retarded as you might think, just retarded with...

    I was under the impression that you bought into a bond backed security. Not that you actually bought bonds. Sell them when you feel the need to do so.

    Okay so Imma go with Argenta as MVP. You need Cassia or another Officer to really make her shine though. At like lvl 10 once you have a 2 kill Revel in Slaughter to refresh Run and Gun she can take out like 4-5 enemies per turn. Cassia is completely batshit insane. She asked why I hadn't...

    A year or so ago we hired a Go To Market finance guy. His main job is identifying issues that get in the way of going to market. Mostly about public reporting requirements and stuff. Found out today that he's been bitching to the CFO about trying to poach me onto his team. As I have built 90%...

    Good start to the season but I am kinda unclear what's going on. What god his old crew to start digging into this exactly? They all had different jobs. Going after an entire unit to protect your illegal operation seems a bit much unless its some weird personal thing we've yet to see.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Looking back on it I think my main gripe will be the same gripe I had with other Larian games. The warped sense of scale in the maps. You don't really feel like you're galivanting around the realm.

    I am not looking at these builds. But going through the character abilities after you mentioned Cassia being OP. It doesn't take too much thought to see why. So many of them just passively do tons of shit to the battlefield. Eye of Oblivion debuffing all enemies with her mere presence is...

    IMO: AWS>Azure>>>GCP. But it isn't like I am using every feature. Azure is easier to learn overall than AWS but I just have a lot more AWS experience so this taints my perspective a bit. Azure LogicApps are really nice for example and the closest AWS feature is Lambda. Which isn't nearly as...
