    No Man's Sky

    So not worth it to multiplayer? Never played and we talked about it, but now I'm second guessing it.

    Terraria

    Once you replay this one, you should really check out the Calamity mod. It's pretty awesome (although it trivializes most normal bosses, so I advise against playing it in conjunction with a new playthrough if it's been a while).

    Been downloading but haven't watched any. Based on the recent comments, I think I'll just stop.

    Peridiam does good Survivor videos. If you haven't watched them (or it's been a while, which is likely), I recommend. These are the two pre-season series he did. 2 Parts 4 Parts

    So my question is, are they just going to eat that? Or are they expecting these people to pay several missed months? Because that seems unlikely.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    Video of the Blue Angels jet doing a low flyby. Can't find it anywhere else but Daily Mail, which sucks. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8191685/Dramatic-moment-Blue-Angels-F-18-performs-high-speed-swoop-sneak-peak-Gun-Maverick.html

    First 20 seasons vs second 20? I dunno. It does seem odd that they seem so focused on it.

    I just realized this season has been so good, but the last 10+ seasons have been pretty crap pre-merge. And then we get the merge here and it's game on. Really excited for the next half of the season.

    That's hindsight. I mean, it could've been that China was blowing it all out of proportion and this was nothing. No one could've anticipated the government shutting the entire country down.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    I love having a home gym, but it wasn't until the other day that I realized most gyms are closed. Now I feel like it's a necessity.

    I think there was a Ted talk or something about the Fed response to 2008. I remember posting it elsewhere and people said the guy was a moron. But essentially his thesis was that everything the Fed did in 2008 made the recession worse. My gut reaction is that it's the exact same situation now...

    I only check our accounts once a month. Haven't sold anything, only been buying. We're down about $120k. But that's only looking at months end. Had I checked mid-February at the top, and mid-March at the bottom, it'd probably have been about $160-170k. Fuck that's painful.

    I only read half of it before giving up. Sounds like just another person trying to make everyone think the world is going to end because their job got tougher. 2008 happened because of credit default swaps, not just because of bad mortgages. Had it just been a mortgage crisis, it would've been...

    Downloaded the first two on the off chance the season ended up being good (and HBO loves to nuke stuff). Think I may just say fuck it though. You all aren't selling me on it.

    I've caught some of it over the years. It's super awkward. Just these random ass people slightly out of the shot on the crew. It seems like most of their time is spent just bullshitting around camp. Lounging, talking about food.

    Survivor

    I think all that stuff still happens, but like @Kiroy said, the producers follow a formula now. And apparently the majority of the viewing audience doesn't care about the "survival" aspects anymore.

    Most of the newer players didn't deserve their wins. It's the new era of Survivor with butthurt juries who award it to the least offensive remaining player.

    Of course my fucking IRA contributions will go in today. Motherfucker! I do think I got one good timing for my 401k, but otherwise most of my automatics have been on up days.

    That's why I said this as probably priced in. Expect next Thursday to be bad though.

    Yep, although hopefully it's priced in. I don't think next Thursday's unemployment numbers would be though, and I expect a massive drop then.

    Just saw that season 4 is delayed indefinitely because of COVID-19. I guess they hadn't wrapped up production? Seems like a month before premiere you would've been finished.

    You seem to be operating on the assumption that our economy is bulletproof and will always survive. While that's incredibly likely, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that the country we live in now ceases to exist.

    If it were up to the people to decide, you'd be right. Hopefully the morons in government realize how badly they fucked this up. Apparently they don't realize how fast you can destroy the economy by shutting everything down for a week.

    Okay, that was pretty baller to use Sandra's own idol against her, and then on top of it bargain to keep a fire token. She wasted her own idol in the process, but it probably doesn't matter. Parv going out sucks, but it was inevitable. It's crazy how many seasons some of these people have...

    Boeing's issues are company wide. The Max is just a symptom. If not for the fact that they're the only major domestic manufacturer, they'd probably go bankrupt and the pieces would be sold off. Also, their federal contracts help. But I wouldn't touch that company with any investments. I...

    At this point you're just locking in losses. If you had the foresight to sell early, you're good as long as you can buy in sometime soon. But there's no reason to sell at this point. Just buy. It can definitely still fall. Even if we hit 1500 S&P, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'll be buying the...

    Curb your Enthusiasm

    Jon Hamm as Larry fucking killed me. That was a solid Curb episode. I actually think the asking the Asians in the Chinese restaurant part was probably the most classic Curb type scene. Also, anyone know what shoes those were that Jon was wearing?

    Survivor

    It's probably a delicate balance, pretty much with the argument Tyson and Tony were making. Yeah, you get rid of a threat, but also that threat is a HUGE shield. As long as Rob is in the game, the "next threat up" isn't you. Since they're all winners, they're probably all assuming they...

    The bond bubble is essentially gone at this point. It lasted a good 30 years though. It didn't pop as much as just whimper away.

    This season is so enjoyable. I'm afraid normal seasons are going to be a massive letdown after this (see my previous posts over the last few seasons about how I was going to stop watching). That immunity challenge was NUTS! Also, Tyson's innocent remark about their firewood at the end was...
