We broke the nut job who chased Tim Poole around Portland.

It was decent. Probably not something to watch unless you like metal at least a little though. The soundtrack really made the movie. It was also more a coming of age movie than anything else. Also, the cameos in the one scene were pretty surprising.

Maybe we could even break Wincel.

Yeah, AMC is still way up too. It's fucking sad that had I just held for another couple months I would've probably done quite well. But that shit they pulled with shutting down trading made me want to dump as soon as I could. And then I rode the money I had leftover from that into the ground...

What happened to the market was forward looking? Shouldn't this not matter? Does that only apply for when they ignore good news?

I meant the patrons (since I mentioned the gutter trash at Knott's), but also apparently the guest experience. Their quality control has just gone to complete shit since covid.

That's definitely a true statement, but completely meaningless until we're in the future. We won't know the "bad news, market bottom" until we're already well past it. Is today's bad news the worst? Who knows!

Aren't all the colors and shit something they do "post process" anyway? Like, it's always been my understanding none of these space pictures with bright, vibrant colors are what they actually look like. It's what some artist at NASA threw together to make them pretty.

We didn't quite go green yesterday, but big red day today. Like clockwork.

Nope, she's white as hell. She kind of suffered from indecision in college. Think she started with biology and then at some point changed to computer science. But she didn't really love that either. She went to her advisor and asked what the fastest way to graduate would be. Since she had so...

Watched the video and found it neat, but it hurt my brain. Decided I'd show my wife and watch again. She has an applied math degree, and she understood immediately and then walked me through what I didn't understand. It's a fun fluke and pretty simple concept when you understand. Even the math...

Well shit, count me in then. Seeing the synopsis and screencap I was thinking this was Dreamworks, and my next thought was, "well, maybe now it's finally their time to shine." But this is even better.

Except the chart is for working age population and ends at 64. It's already accounting for the phase out of boomers. In fact, there are only about 6 years of boomers in that chart (oldest being 1958). 2/3 of them are already considered out of the workforce for that metric. Millennials aren't...

Doesn't look like it.

Oatmeal? Apple and peanut butter? Literally anything with peanut butter? Cottage cheese and fruit if you like that shit?

I wish these people weren't so full of shit. Labor participation is at the lowest it's been since 1977. "Jobs numbers are great!" Fuck off. Like yeah, maybe they look good in comparison to when you shut down the entire economy, but that's not really what I'd call "healthy."

You might be surprised. NYPat and Ecto are pretty retarded. If Sillie comes over, he's like a dumber version of someone like Chris.

Looks like the thread on misc was nuked?

I'm not sure the last time he went to Knott's, but that place is a fucking gutter of undesirables. I love to shit on Disney lately, but at least Disney appears somewhat respectable. Although even Disneyland has been trending down over the last half decade or so.

So the yield curve inverted for the third time yesterday. I don't know how they haven't acknowledged the recession at this point.

Yes, a couple have posted in this thread, although we'll see if they end up posting at all. I'm sad @Lithose is gone to shit on them.

Since these are miscers, shouldn't it be a rear glute spread?

I've mentioned in Politics a few times that misc was all over lingo we use here, like joggers. It's one of the few forums that actually didn't overly moderate, despite what a lot of miscers think. There are active posts even now about purebloods and dunking on vaxxers.

Wow, feel like my worlds are colliding. Been on misc since 2009 and here since 2001. Don't really post there much anymore though, probably almost none in the last year. But I was shitting up R&P for most of Trump's presidency, trying to fight off the paid shills. Anyway, welcome to any of the...

Except, you know, the currency.

Really? I think she was the worst part of the show. There's something about her jaw, or just maybe her face in general, that turns me off. Looks wise, he also seems way out of her league.

It's ironic, too, because for the longest time Disney for grief because "all they care about is making money." I guess they hit a critical mass of revenue though and decided they didn't care about money anymore. So they jettisoned all the people that actually made them money and replaced them...

I'm tempted to get Satisfactory.

My account is fine. Although it's apparently been almost 3 years since I bought some Mexican peso version.

I think he works in that because he's a self entitled asshole type character and that plays to his strengths. Looking through his credits, I'm really underwhelmed. I honestly can't figure out why he's as big a name as he is.

The most those things ever get adjusted is like 0.2-0.3%. At -2.1%, there's no way it gets even remotely close to positive. And why would it? I ask every week, what's gotten better in Q2? Even oil, which is down, is still up from where it was at the start of Q2.

My response wasn't for you necessarily, outside of saying that yes we're in fact in a recession now. The rest of my post was just my frustration with the gaslighting by...everyone...about how we wouldn't see a recession until next year. Maybe they meant it'd last until next year?

Yes, and I've been saying for weeks (months?) that this would happen at the end of June when they released the Q2 GDP numbers. Why this is surprising people I have no clue. No one could've possibly believed we'd have a positive quarter with how shit everything is.

Selling now is locking in (realizing) your losses. At the moment it's all paper losses, which are irrelevant. This is how people get fucked in market downturns. You waited for all the selling to end, and *now* you think it's a good time to sell? It's complete backwards logic. Like above, if...

It's the term used when you're talking about all 5th gen fighters, usually in comparison to older gen fighters. And when talking capabilities, it's the easiest way to talk about it. I can tell you from having worked in the program, it's absolutely a term used regularly. Especially in the...

I will say, too, that that concept is part of why I don't worry about early retirement too much. We'll be fine for at least several years drawing down our cash, and if it starts to look like we're in an "oh shit" situation (our sequence of returns was bad at the front end and we need to salvage...

You just discovered the concept of "barista FIRE." Essentially where you have enough to coast as long as you cover your living expenses (which is significantly less than saving for investment, obviously, since your subtract all the savings and additional taxes of higher income).

Honestly, San Diego doesn't have a lot to do. The Midway is pretty cool. Point Loma lighthouse is okay. The Hotel del Coronado is neat if you're into historic buildings. San Diego zoo is good if you like zoos. Balboa Park is also okay but not something must see. I like La Jolla pretty well and...

Except you'd have to segregate your solar system. That's kind of the issue with using solar as a "world goes to shit" system. It has to tie into your house, which means it ties into the grid. That is, unless you invest heavily in batteries. That's why people are always bummed out when they find...

I've done the math several times over the years and solar is still never worth it. The breakeven point is just always way, way too far out to be worthwhile. It's only somewhat feasible due to subsidies, but that still generally puts you at 10+ years. I guess batteries are finally at the point...
