    I was curious and looked it up. Q1-3 2021 revenues were 26.93 + 29.5 + 27.66 = 84.09. 2020 annual was 85.88. Just a coincidental overlap, I think you're both right and rounded in different directions.

    I drive a 2001 Accord because the fucking thing just won't die (plus I don't drive much, only 140k miles). The worst problems I've had are that my low speed/low mileage driving patterns kill battteries fairly quickly and all the freon leaked out of the AC compressor after 15 years. I don't even...

    That's the math for returning the entire purchase price. The proper comparison would be the opportunity cost of whatever else they were going to do with that $69B. $600M per quarter looks awfully good compared to -7% in cash (not that it would have stayed there, or that MSFT couldn't easily make...

    Nah. A 4% difference in principle compounding at the same rate is only 4% difference at the end. If you expect 8% returns that's only six months difference. (Or pick a number.) A = P (1+ r/n) ^ nt, A is linear with P

    Half the people I know don't understand that there's a difference between those terms. Personally, I'm here for edutainment and am one of those super-boring guys who started putting money in index funds at age 16. Seems to be working out pretty well for my admittedly low risk tolerance and...

    There's always a transition point where you go from not expecting to buy a house to expecting. This was that point. Just bad timing. I also dislike debt so I'd be going heavy on equity, and it would have been dumb to leave multi-six figures sitting in cash for months at a time, especially up...

    He went for a heel hook, which is much worse for the ligaments.

    It was really a dogshit heel hook. The only reason it was at all close was that Ngannou didn't defend it at all (but then, he didn't have to). Gane could have had it later but didn't even try to get his hips in tighter or develop any real control with his own legs.

    Ngannou has no clue how to use his hips to grapple, but he's just too big for Gane.

    I don't see how that first set of cracks happens without a structural or load problem. Looks like the roof and top half of the building want to be farther forward than the foundation and lower wall. I'd get it checked ASAP.
