It's sad that this is even considered a rally, when we're still down 5% just this month. This year has been such a shit show.

You picked a 70 year old?

What are the odds we end the day red?

Couldn't finish the first episode. Read some reviews saying the true story is more unsettling (although it seems like the show added in all kinds of terrible horror tropes). https://www.thecut.com/article/the-haunting-of-657-boulevard-in-westfield-new-jersey.html

I thought you wanted to be close to the water. That sounds like non-beach area. My in-laws have a plot in Homasassa Springs. Wasn't a fan.

And the public rejected that model as soon as it was an option. That's what led to streaming services booming in the first place. Going back to that shitty model isn't the answer.

Yep. It was just covid recovery and supply chain issues. Then the inflation was transitory for a year. Meanwhile we all knew that was bullshit. We all saw how much money we printed and how large QE had gotten.

I saw Jeff Garlin at the American Comedy Co. in San Diego about a decade ago. It's where my coworker got up on stage with him as a dare (he was super drunk, as was the guy who dared him). Jeff absolutely roasted the shit out of him. It was one of the best things I'd seen with someone dealing...

How do you think I feel where I retired a year ago, literally at the peak. I'm not making any contributions anymore and I'm down...a lot (enough to buy a house a lot).

Literally seems like the only metric they look at is unemployment. And it's their own cooked numbers, no less.

Keep waiting for some good news. Just a single good economic indicator. Seems like there hasn't been a single one in 2022.

I was really hoping for an upswing prior to the midterms, because I think November and December are going to be a fucking bloodbath. And I need to liquidate next year's expenses at some point before the end of the year. Doing it now would fucking suck. My wife has been talking a lot about going...

Where are our technicals people to tell us whether this thing has a bottom or if it's free falling from here?

Which is why hybrid MMOs that try to mix PvE with PvP are always terrible.

I said the same thing about vaccine mandates. I sometimes wonder if these companies even have legal counsel, or if they don't have the budget for it cause it all went to HR.

What a weird comment. You're basically making the argument that you have to start at the beginning of time so you have context on who characters are. That jumping in at a certain time period would be too jarring as you'd need to introduce characters. It's amazing we have any media whatsoever...

I could've told you that. You can also do traditional to Roth conversions and they also become subject to the 5 year period (the 5 year period for these is based on the conversion date however). For example, a retired married couple can withdraw close to $100k a year and face zero federal taxes...

I wonder if after 2008 the rich realized that holy shit, yeah, there's some short term pain with a massive economic collapse, but you come out of it way richer and it's kind of worth it. 2020 saw a massive shift in wealth, and this one is continuing the trend.

That's pretty amazing. Although I'm assuming they just reused the footings, but still, seems like it takes some crews more than three days to fill potholes.

Alison Brie has either had plastic surgery or lost too much weight. She's still pretty, but she looks strange to me (mostly based on watching Spin Me Round).

Yep, I pointed out the similarities in timelines between this and 2007-2009. We just had the first little 20% drop that came before the actual crash. The real economic disaster is still coming. Except this time we have the bonus of 70s style inflation and a decade of QE. It's going to hurt...

Glad I decided to stop watching the trash the MCU has become. Think the last thing I watched was Hawkeye.

Was listening to Kevin Bacon on armchair expert and he said that Hughes would just film and film and film, and it was prior to digital so it'd cost a fortune. I'd imagine all of his films probably have tons of extra footage.

Mine was when I saw the thing from Fidelity that said their best performing investors were dead. Can't remember if it ended up being true or not, but it got me thinking about it.

Yep. Groundhog Day on the day, obviously. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for Thanksgiving. Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, and Elf around Christmas. Probably seen each in the 20ish times range.

I wish I understood what you do better. My play account is a lesson in bad market timing. I seem to pick the absolute worst times to buy and sell on an individual stock level.

Liquidity drying up going to hit all the banks eventually.

Now seems like a great time to buy it. At worst you're getting a 20% discount. When you sell the individual stock 10 or 50 years from now, you won't care about what the price was.

They always show these things that limit it to the first 3-5 blocks closest to the ocean. I always wonder how those a few blocks further inland faired. My guess is much better but it isn't as impactful so they ignore it.

I told you all we're heading for 3300, if not 2800.

That's like the opposite of what I figured most hurricanes would be. I thought it was that the wind doesn't really end up doing much with post-Andrew building codes, which is what most people are scared of. And that it was flooding that really does all the damage.

I bet you'd be surprised. We ran ours off our van shit (200W panels, 100AH lithium battery, 1000W inverter) after the 2019 earthquake. Fridges don't use much power anymore. You need a surge on the inverter big enough for when it kicks on, but otherwise the actual power draw is pretty low. Now...

Into the toilet we go!

The real issue with all of that was that Aleida went and took tons of classified documents to her garage (and we know it's classified because it's the engine design the Russians had). Oh, and a few episodes prior she shows her fucking ex husband or whatever he was. And then brings the ex-NASA...

Guess her vag shots couldn't overcome the abortion of a plot (get it?).

Yeah, my mom has done the same every time we get even a tropical storm. Baffling.

I mean, sure, the market is moving up today. But it's still down over the last week and substantially down over the last month. My end of '21 S&P prediction of 4100 is looking incredibly optimistic, and I feel like 3300 is more likely.

Damn, thought it'd be another in the Yellowstone series.

Our honeymoon was in Siesta Key back in 2004. We were heading down the coast with literally no traffic, while the northbound lanes were completely gridlocked. We went through two hurricanes. I'm glad this one shifted from the panhandle. We decided not to go with flood insurance and this one...
