With electric everything, the future is with batteries. Pretty much everything else necessary in an EV is incredibly simple in design and function and not patentable anymore. The first company to patent a good usable 500wh/kg battery will literally change the world and print money. TSLA exists...

Is this oil or acrylic? Looks like acrylic. First WIP is usually a pencil sketch. I'm curious what it looked like. I'm curious what this artists other finished works look like. Never commission art without a look at their portfolio.

No, but I have a private painting from her. I believe she stopped doing art a few years ago, but there's plenty of other artists out there.

Art grows on you and is more about starting a conversation than being something, so I'd keep it and show it off. In terms of value you got raped, but people have been ripped off way, way, way worse than you when it comes to art, so be sure to have a list of those occurrences memorized. I've...

I feel like this is 1920 and we're all hi-5ing each other because money is forever. My goal has always been to retire on the day I have 25x replacement income saved (currently at ~5), but if stocks do like this, I might as well retire at 15x or so. What's the catch to all this money I'm...

I was wondering if the TSLA split could backfire, but then I remembered that electric cars don't backfire.

I love watching what robinhood traders do. They are buying the dip: https://robintrack.net/symbol/KODK

They just straight up said fuck it and skipped phase 3. If you go by that standard, there are a lot of vaccines ready for widespread use. Pretty much everyone expects corners to be cut. So rather than Russia being the only one with a perfectly safe vaccine already, we might see a drastic...

Technically you can crack the skull open and take brain samples with them still alive from some of the most vulnerable parts of the brain to disruption. Most places aren't equiped to do this, but in theory there's a chance they could survive it. Any other method is incredibly unreliable.

Looks like NKLA signed a deal to produce electric dump trucks. Researched the subject a bit more and found a novel way that other companies want to use hydrogen in industrial vehicles, which NKLA may attempt to emulate. Apparently they want to use electric along with a hydrogen/propane mixture...

Kodak done goofed I think. All the shit that went down the monday before their announcement shows that insiders knew and were cashing in. The CEO options deal was just downright cheeky. They probably expected the stock to jump nicely, but when tues day happen they were probably having a...

what spooked people.

Trump has been swinging up in the polls, and is now close to his highs in some of the more reliable ones. I think stocks are being mildly optimistic that Trump will win, and we'll probably see some pops on the debates if there are any, since there's no way Biden could look good against trump...

That's definitely the approach a western mind would take to this situation. Chinese people... I'm not confident that China would allow the disgrace of their companies being shamed without retaliation. Face is a big deal to them, and staying quiet during times like these makes a leader look...

China can cause short term disruptions that'd smear egg on apple's face, but yea, I'm convinced they have plenty of money to set up shop somewhere else and be fine long term.

Sooo, executive order attacking two chinese tech firms. The way china works, they WILL retaliate and quickly when it goes into effect with what they feel is an equivalent measure. Looking at all of their options in tech, I believe the most vulnerable companies by far are Amazon, Apple, and...

Since there's a lot of weird stuff with retirement accounts, I thought I'd mention a little plan I had for the first few years of my retirement. You can roll 401k over into Roth IRA. I was planning on traveling the world and having close to 0 income for my first years in retirement. Rather than...

Im jelly of people who can do HSAs. Being a gov worker, the rolls royce medical plan is way too good to pass up. Surgery with a 4 day hospital stay that includes CT scans, physical therapy and all those tests and medicines. 150k on paper, 600$ out of pocket. If I had a way to weasel a HSA into...

It's definitely valued far ahead of where it is. I wouldn't be surprised to see more growth in the stock's price while we live in clown world though. I'd probably hold for now. Also very good they made opt in the default choice. I've heard plenty of stories of people with 20+ years that spent...

TSP is very good, but not responsive. It's always surprising to me how few people took advantage of it. Luckily, they changed it so you have to opt out of it instead of opting in recently. A lot of people probably just didn't understand what it was. As far as the government is concerned, its one...

I think I'm up 15k the last two weeks. Pretty okay with that. I say I think because my biggest account is something @LachiusTZ is familiar with, the slow behemoth that is the TSP. Crazy how far things have come since my first investment of 31$ years and years ago and the 5 cents I made off it in...

If you save any money consistently you're already ahead of 90% of americans. Managing your money is easy. Just don't greedy and think you figured it out where nobody else ever has. That's where people get hazed and lose everything. Wins will come, but never forget that losses will come too.

AMD is definitely offblasting into outer space. Not even close to TSLA levels of ludicrously overvalued, so plenty of room to grow still.

https://robintrack.net/symbol/KODK Robinhood users are mostly long kodk it seems.

NFL is the worst. If XFL doesn't gay it up like NFL I'd watch it.

Is MSFT the only company that fucks up everything except its stock price?

Shit I woke up and I'm making money still.

Jogger Dick

Haven't seen this in the news, but over the weekend a very large number of employees for AAL received furlough warnings here. Things are still well below half of normal traffic, though business has very slowly continued expanding. Also, with the successful splashdown of the dragon, I wouldn't...

Lots of anime starts out good and then lose their mojo as they forget what they're about and become very 'anime'. The classics that stand out are mostly because they break this mold. Goblin slayer was decent, but there was definitely more 'anime' as the story went on. Watched God of highschool...

I can burn my fsa up pretty easy on health care. Get a dentist with a free whitening punchcard system if you have trouble reaching it the normal way. Wish I could do HSAs, but I've imploded a hyuge sum of other people's money on medical care with very little out of pocket, so not having one was...

Why would you max your 401k already instead of spreading it out even through the year? Most companies wouldn't match if you aren't contributing. I am for 750 a paycheck rather than maxing it asap because of that.

BNA is a netflix furry trash anime, so I guess I'm obligated to give a review. Most of the characters are irredeemably retarded, and their view of things jumps along illogically. The trash wolf char is probably the most reasonable of them, mostly cause he doesn't speak much. It follows typical...

I wonder what the california Patreon arbitration decision's effect on google is. I've been expecting angles of attack to open up based on their active moderation of content having its good faith questioned. Those two companies are in a similar enough position that I'm sure its something that...

I keep trying, but haven't found her yet.

NKLA under 30$ a share. Apparently KNDI Announced today that they're going to release their chinese shitters in my market in the coming months. Looking into it, focusing on the DFW metroplex with a car that maxes out at 100 miles range seems a questionable move. They probably should have picked...

Looking up the FTSE 100, UK been getting shit on, lol. I don't claim to know enough about UK finances to understand why. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EFTSE/

I'm kinda skeptical with the huge number of times she wipes her face with those napkins after chewing bites with no clear sign of swallowing.

I ended up with a free pizza delivered from pizza hut. Forgot how disgusting they were and ended up trashing it. Maybe it's better in other regions, but down in texas pizza hut is literally as bad or possibly worse than little ceaser's hot and readies. I've been impressed with heinz's line of...

Could be the ghost of wirecard haunting it. Fintech and blockchains were hot for along while, but they seem to be losing popularity. Did my accounting today, finishing up with the close. Last month I was down a little, this month I'm up a lot. This year has been a wild ride. I'm planning on...
