    The only way this is impacting inflation is our bi-weekly aid packages to Ukraine for a few billion. Maybe stop pissing our money away?

    Oh, good call, it's been so long since I watched BB that I forgot about that.

    You should know better by now that after market doesn't matter. Shit is going to tank today, big time. The only thing that might make it trade sideways is everyone waiting on the Fed, but after that it's a red day.

    Better Call Saul

    Haven't watched the video, but that seems like a ridiculously short timeframe. That'd basically mean Saul got moved, immediately had a heart attack, and then started scheming again? Literally no time laying low?

    I like total market over strictly S&P 500. That way you get all the small and mid caps that it misses. But in the end it probably matters very little.

    The Terminal List

    Only just watched the first episode, but you can definitely tell they had a SEAL as a consultant. Not that I really know fuckall about how the SEALs operate. But it's close enough to what I do know that it's super believable. I remember many, many years ago that when we did combatives they...

    Black Bird

    I've only watched the first two, but the prison shit is incredibly uninteresting. The "True Detective"-esque Greg Kinnear parts are the only thing interesting. And I imagine as it goes on, there will be less of that and more prison.

    Even if I were still into this MCU thing, that phase 5 lineup seems super uninteresting.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Only watching any of this new Marvel shit if this guy is playing Doom. And he gets to rap through the entire movie, preferably with some cartoon characters. And not even edit, I haven't even posted this yet, but apparently he died in 2020. So fuck that idea.

    Didn't see this until today. Surprised it's taken this long to cut a loser, but maybe when they're all losers, that's hard. Seems like fund companies close funds much more rapidly than she is. Probably cause she sucks at this...

    Guessing maybe these last episodes will overlap Breaking Bad season one where none of them had appeared yet? And possibly the future black and white stuff?

    Blue Bell is God damn delicious, that's why. We've talked about statistics like that on this board before and how reacting ridiculously is illogical. 10 people got sick out of how many millions?

    What We Do in the Shadows

    Colin Robinson remains the highlight of the show. Adolescent Colin was great. Kind of don't love this nightclub storyline, but it's not the worst either. Colin maybe going to singlehandedly save it.

    For All Mankind

    Just finished the first season and this nails it. I'd also say (at least so far), there's all kinds of inconsistencies. Like in the last episode of season 1, they keep talking about how security is so high, and yet...little teenage illegal immigrant just waltzes into the facility when they've...

    The Netflix Thread

    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.

    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.

    The 100 prisoners riddle

    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...

    The 100 prisoners riddle

    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...

    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."

    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.
