Only watched Ep 1 so far but I agree, this didnt get the WOT treatment the ads had led me to fear.

Sure. I get that, but surely one does something, right? Maybe the right answer is "don't bother changing anything, cause its too big to be able to defend against it?" I don't know.

Assuming China waits until after Monday morning, what investment strategies do yall have in mind for the invasion of Taiwan? Dump tech? Buy US Semiconductors? Defense, energy, commodities? Pull it all back into cash and watch the world burn? I've read thoughts on the subject other places but...

SQ +23%, damn. Didnt know that stock could move in that direction.

This is a good challenge. I suspect most of us, if faced with that situation, would do it. Everyone who does will regret it in the end, and wish they'd stayed blind, but I admit this situation would make it really hard to resist.

I dunno if this belongs in the loss porn thread but somebody may have already done their bargain shopping yesterday :( I get that this is ok, theyre all stocks I'm happy to hold for a long time. But as an OCD bargain shopper in all areas of life, feels bad man.

eternity doing data entry / IT work? I think there was a book about this long ago by some Italian dude, Dante something or other

I get that, but the narration could be her journal or something. I'd say theres no way they would be so unrealistic as to have her survive that except I've been watching all season.

So your complaint is that the discussion about the shows flaws becomes repetitive with the same people saying the same things over and over? I mean, I guess I get that in terms of not being interested in reading the discussion, but isnt this pattern just happening because ... the show suffers...

2FA being tied to having an electronic device in your possession is fundamentally flawed and its fucked up it it was ever accepted. The government being able to lock you out of everything (and you're right about that) is just one of the many ways this can fuck users.

I don't get the complaining about complaining theme. What are we supposed to do, just chime in "I like this show" once a week? Thatd be an interesting discussion. Actually, I kind of assume everyone not posting about it, but watching, is in that camp. "I like this show". They just don't bother...

Great show. On re watching the finale it bugs me a little though how that fight went down. Harcourt and Vigilante should be dead. Multiple gunshots, no superpowers, no first aid. It was just weird having that "oh nevermind we're all fine actually" moment coming from a show based on Suicide...

Actually, I'm pretty sure thats close to how dreams work. I think your brain just does random nonsense all night and there is no story. But in the instant of waking up your brain tries to recreate some narrative that connects all the random impulses into a cohesive story. In other words, when...

If I get food at a restaurant - whether fast food or real restaurant - if I drive that food home and eat it there, its fucking cold garbage. Fast food expires about 2 minutes after it leaves the window. No longer worth eating. Now explain why I would want to pay someone - a person who can't...

I'm posting this article from an esteemed media outlet https://www.the-sun.com/tech/4717589/sun-erupting-non-stop-flares-scientists/ I know its not a scientific journal or even a real newspaper but given the subject material I think it can be given a pass this time Interesting to think about...

Fair enough that they said the word marriage, but only after the fact or without any kind of actual wedding or any suggestion that "wait you have to get married first, harlot"

This. The mom and dad on this show are from the same generation and culture as Ma and Pa Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie. But somehow we're supposed to find their behavior believable. The notion that any pioneering white couple would just "yolo, you go girl" while their little blond...

Noob question of the day. It seems crypto generally follows the major stock indices during the week (or maybe both are responding to general market sentiment, or something. Anyway, they seem strongly linked during the week). Then on the weekend when they're decoupled because the market is...

Very basic question, I will refrain from asking more if this kind of thing is not welcome. If a stock you had planned to hold long term jumps 25% in a few days after buying it, do you go ahead and take the profit or hold long anyway waiting for more? I'm sure the answer is it depends on more...

Youre not wrong, but its still time well spent

I picked a hell of a time to start trying to understand the stock market

Its more complicated than that now, schedule C etc for a couple small businesses. But I will look into FreeTax. Estimates of my IQ depend on the person doing the estimating and vary widely in my experience. We've stayed with HRBlock because its easy and started very cheap then got slightly...

I'm sure theres some good reason yall havent mentioned it but we've used HR Block online since our taxes were simple to the time theyve become much more complex, and I havent had any problems with it. No support at all but the software is fine. I'm obsessively DIY but can't imagine doing the...

I've probably ranted about this before but got an email that reminded me so here we go again. Fuck people that write emails like texts. No capitalization. No punctuation. No salutation or closing. This isnt a communication from a human being, its a piece of digital noise to be filtered out...

I'm not sure who you're projecting at here with the tradwide obsessed, scared of divorce, no kids thing. None of those describe me or my post. It seems you just brushed off my post by saying "yes, 77% of the country are just poors". Again - you're describing a small fraction of the country...

even if your wife is only in the top 23% of individual income (before adjusting for sex or age which means its actually much, much smaller) or something? Is that what you meant? The great majority of people in this country do not earn "only" 80k, and the situation is different for them than...

Imagine not having children because they cost money. Its what the money was for in the first place. I'm convinced something pathological happens in the brains of childless people sometime in their 30s or 40s. Where they start viewing everything in life exactly backwards.

I wonder if they'll be faithful to the source material in this adaptation

Random update on the pigs. They've grown to about match my weight. An interesting milestone for an animal I plan to eat. A couple months to go til their One Bad Day. Still no problems containing them with electric - they test it every now and then but no real issues. They've turned 1 acre...

eh, I guess I see your point on Beth's abortion, if no one knew about it (at that time) besides the two most morally fucked people on the show, there was little room for an ethics discussion. But I can't agree on the 1883 "hey mom I'm gonna have some premarital sex" discussion. Both mom and...

Great show. Both this and Yellowstone share a specific flaw, though. They depict groups that are/were extremely conservative in comparison to Hollywood. So they end up making some stupidly unrealistic omissions. If a farmers daughter in 1800s wanted to fuck a cowboy, there would at least be a...

This is fucked up. There is absolutley zero Latinx or Pacific Islander representation in this movie. In 2022? Yikes Whats worse, every person in the trailer appeared to be Cis. Are you kidding me right now??!! Erasure is VIOLENCE

Yeah, I dont get the dialogue complaint. John Dutton has some great lines. The kind of lines where you go shit, I've been thinking that same thing but hadnt quite phrased it so perfectly. Maybe you just have to be a grumpy ass old man in real life to appreciate it?

I misunderstood your complaint. If you find and replace "?" in Excel it treats "?" as a wildcard and replaces everything in the document. Obviously undo fixes this but still, what in the actual fuck. If I was searching for "*" or "." I might stop and ask myself if I needed an escape for this...

Whats even worse is in Excel, if you do find and replace for a question mark, it does the same goddam thing In what kind of backwards, degenerate shitfuck universe is "?" a wildcard?

Everyone gets excited about the propulsion systems and maneuverability of these crafts. Me, I think the cloaking systems are the real gold mine. Imagine a cloaking device so reliable you can joy ride in the sky on a planet where everyone carries a high resolution camera in their pocket, but...

I'm not sure but I think nitpicking about realism may be misplaced in a show that features Just sayin

Thought this was a good writeup of the 5G / airlines conflict https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-airlines-can-solve-their-5g-problem/ What I don't get, still, is why the frequencies known to interfere with radar altimeters were ever considered fair game for 5G in the first place...

TVP (texturized vegetable protein) can make a pretty decent ground beef substitute. I grew up hardcore vegetarian; ate a shitload of TVP and tofu. Fake sausage (like Morningstar farms) is actually good. Different than real sausage but honestly not a bad substitute at all. Never had any other...

While it is adorable - truly touching - that you went to the trouble of researching ingredients and copy pasting them here for us to read, you might have saved yourself a little time by reading my post in the first place. Reading comprehension saves time, in the end. The point, obviously, was...
