When I was a kid we went to Cape Hatteras and caught the legal limit of bluefish during a feeding frenzy (100 fish per person). After spending 10 hours cleaning the fuckers, we put the fillets on dry ice and it stayed good until we finished it six months later. My mom bought a book, "101 Ways to...

ESA Mars Rover delayed until 2022. My future brother-in-law works on NASA's Mars Rover 2020 and they're burning hard to try to make this year's launch window. https://spacenews.com/exomars-rover-mission-delayed-to-late-2022/

It was one of my favorite games in that couple years, though I'm an admitted sucker for any decent metroidvania. I'm looking forward to this sequel quite a bit, although my gaming time is going to be in the dumpster with my kids in the house 24/7 for the next few weeks.

Yeah. I consult in the paper business. This is just going to deplete inventories for a bit. Average demand isn't changing, and there's no way to ramp production on these time scales. In three weeks when everyone figures out that they're not shitting more than normal and they've just bought six...

Market loves it. Up 3% (Edit: now 6%) since he started talking. We'll see how durable this is once the testing really rolls out and we find there are 50k+ cases in the wild.

Brazilian President Bolsonaro, who was meeting with Trump last Saturday, tests positive. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/coronavirus-touches-trump-brazilian-president-tests-positive-for-covid-19 Edit: Bolsonaro now denying reports. Make of that what you will...

Ortega is basically a surrogate Gracie. Gracies have been ego-driven thugs since the beginning. I say this as a guy with 10 years in the BJJ community whose first teacher spent decades with Royce, Rickson, and Rolls.

Old friend of mine died of a heart attack yesterday. Watch your weight, kids. Obesity kills. =(

My wife and I did a few days in cancun a while back. Went on Mother's Day, so we got a great deal here: https://grandresidencesrivieracancun.com/ Cannot recommend enough if you just want to eat and chill. We got the all-inclusive package and the food was OUTSTANDING. (Don't get the beer and...

I don't understand this at all. If I'd spent that much on my ring my wife would have killed me (GG $100 lab-grown stones). I get that there are swaths of women who see it as a status symbol, but the fact is if guys just collectively fucking refused to shell out that much it wouldn't happen.

I consult in the paper business. I'd doubt this is going to be more than an inventory shock in their distribution chain and possibly some short term profit if they price gouge. There's not enough spare production capacity to make more tissue and there's no way the run on product sustains long...

Do you need the money in the next 10 years? If no, shut off the news and check back in next year.

The term has been around since the late 90's. "The name "Plunge Protection Team" was coined by The Washington Post and first applied to the group in 1997." https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/plunge-protection-team.asp

I was on a stationary bike a month after reconstructive knee surgery and before I was allowed to walk. It's literally the safest exercise you can get for your knees.

Ronda's idea of mean mugging looked like my pouty 4 year old daughter trying to pick a fight with her stuffed animals.

My case wasn't that bad. I'd seen it before in other guys at my BJJ gym so I caught it early and went to the doctor. The experience was basically the world's most painful pimple on my shin. If you're a moron and try to ignore it and train through it can get much worse.

Uh. I've had staph before. It looked exactly like that. It's either staph or a botfly larva.

It depends. I'm self-employed and have a very lumpy income. In low years I'm making way less than my planned retirement withdrawal rate and I'll put money in the Roth because the immediate tax cost is small compared to the future gains.

It's not absurd as long as you have a decent expectation of what tax bracket you'll be in at retirement. The difference isn't dramatic, though, and you're right that for most people a traditional is a better fit.

He's just 40 years ahead of his middle-aged haircut.

Still up nearly 50% over the last five years.

A commission rep watches the taping and signs off on the handwraps and gloves (literally, on the wrist). It's extremely unlikely there was anything shady with the equipment.

One of my graduate professors was a prominent researcher in economic psychology. They studied the frequency with which people interact with their investments compared to their satisfaction with the outcomes and performance. There's a sweet spot at about 2x per year. Don't neglect your assets...

Well, that's good for him personally and less of a good look for his boxing.

I blew an eardrum once after taking a fall waterskiing. It suuuuuucks. You have to be one tough motherfucker to go through four rounds of boxing after that.

Beach vacation planned for summer. Time to get on the wagon and lose 20 lbs. Clean eating with a 750 cal/day deficit works like clockwork for me, but fuck if my life isn't worse off without beer and bread. Sigh. No. I had "Hmm, you need to do something" insulin levels for a while when I was...

Pretty sure the part of his brain responsible for his bowels also runs his mouth.
