    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    OK, I didn't watch past the fumble recovery TD. Who was named MVP, it had better be Seattle's kicker since they can't give it to the whole defensive unit. . heh

    I'm trying to maintain more activity than her. I'm no 5k runner, but making sure to get the "steps in". I'm trying to eat fewer carbs, watch my A1C more than she did. Some of this will be easier as she had some work related injuries and such in her 30s and 40s which resulted in her having...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    So. I mentioned a while back about a crack on one of my rims causing a slow leak over time. Took it to get repaired at a rim repair place and when looking at where the rim had the leak it was a spot where apparently at some point in the past the same wheel had been repaired. So now I don't...

    I'm dealing with a "cards dealt" scenario as well right now. My mother is in the hospital because of idiot doctors. In her mid 70's she's suffering from weakened kidneys (I think technically stage 2 kidney disease) and now type B congestive heart failure. Her kidney Dr decided that since her...

    There's a lot of discussion I'm seeing around if we're seeing the teetering edge of the AI bubble about to pop. If it does I think it leads to a marketwide correction, I'm just not sure how to position to mitigate/avoid as much of that damage as possible. Maybe I'll just buy donuts and hope...

    This also has me wondering, since a gas heater has a heating element (burner) outside the tank in that case there wouldn't be heating elements to replace would there? And no anode? So it would just be a flush to clear sediment? I ask because I have had the same large gas water heater...

    Yeah, "unmanaged" really usually means "Managed by you". And you've hit the core of it, which others here agreed with and I'll put my vote in as well. Find a good broad based ETF type fund. Drop money in it consistently over time and don't worry about it otherwise. From the sounds of things...

    As for people talking about "the message" back in DS9 and earlier... The way I see it ever since TOS, Star Trek has been progressive. But as mentioned they would also focus on good stories to tell. They'd tell a science fiction story, then as your watching it you're just thinking it's science...

    I also wouldn't be surprised if in the future pending demand they create a new "high end" model. I'm kinda surprised he hasn't pivoted a little more towards that Slate type model of a universal chassis design that could be more easily swapped out for body/trim options. I wonder if something...

    This is why I think we're seeing an overall flight of money into "harder assets" (gold, silver, even Uranium ETFs are up), and ETFs that focus on less bubbly, more traditional staples (like HDV). When thought of through a lens of risk aversion it makes sense with the growing sentiment that...

    I do find it interesting as much as people are saying that silver going parabolic is because of new technology which will require it (batteries) that doesn't explain the near parallel move in gold, and it certainly doesn't explain how the most unsexy of all ETFs is also moving this month...
