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...

In a currency collapse you say fuck the economy, we save the currency at all costs. Been saying this for months now. If the currency goes, the economy goes with it anyway. Trying to save the economy to the detriment of the currency is retarded.

First major hurricane of the season and it's almost October..."panic people, climate change!"

Imagine destroying all of what remaining credibility your website had for this steaming pile of forgettable shit.

Almost a half a percent yield curve inversion? What's the largest it's ever been?

Looks like Ian is ramping up. Could hit anywhere along the gulf coast of Florida, and the intensity seems to be a crap shoot too. We put up our hurricane shit before we left last week just in case. Although, I found out that apparently hurricane fabric doesn't do shit to prevent your windows...

I like(d?) the third one because of when it came out and my age at the time. I was young enough that all of it appealed to me. It was actually on some random station a few weeks ago and I watched bits and pieces of it. Didn't seem that bad.

Writing by committee.

This is why I mentioned Braveheart. I almost said Gladiator too, but that's a but too departed from "history." Braveheart is "edu-tainment," but it's at least based in reality.

Edu-tainment. Because so many movies in the past just completely lied about historical events because they'd be boring otherwise, right? Like in Braveheart where the English won, or Saving Private Ryan where the Nazis decimated the allies.

Told my wife about it and she hasn't seen anything either.

Go back and read statements in 2007 and 2008 where they kept saying the economy was strong up until the moment everything collapsed.

I mentioned it in Politics, but inflation being "flat" at this point only means it's increasing at a constant pace, not that it's slowed at all. Making it worse is now we're at large compounding inflation rates, where last August was 5.3% and now we've got 8.3% on top of it. Inflation isn't...
