    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    As explained by a Dr I had once, over time your body's histamine system (which regulates what you are and aren't allergic to) can partially rotate. Which means you can gain and lose allergies over your lifetime, and most people lose them over time. When I was a wee Haus I was allergic to a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I handle all my mom's finances and my sister coordinates all her medical stuff... Recently I get a text from one of her Dr's (Cardiologist) about her owning over $400 for some scan. I look into it. The Dr's website says the insurance paid $5, the insurance website says it's paid $150 and the...

    Stargate SG-1

    Even with SG-1 being off the air for around 20 years now, it's still considered a very formidable mid-tier series on the platforms that stream it (although it doesn't feel impressive as it's around #250 all time on most lists of streamed series/content/movies). With that said Netflix's most...

    Interesting tidbit on the SpaceX thing today. It will trade on two exchanges. NASDAQ, and.... NASDAQ-Texas Maybe I just haven't run into it before, but today is literally the day I realized there is such a thing as a NASDAQ exchange that was Texas based.

    Depression

    As has been mentioned, things aren't always linear. Not even day/week/month is a win, sometimes not even every year. If you know what helps you get through the crap until you can start to make progress again there's no shame in doing what you know should help. The fact that you still seem to...

    Doctor Who

    Was reading the replies and hit this thought nugget.... Although Campbell has mostly retired from acting and almost completely from the con circuit as he's dealing with some medical issues IIRC.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This guy was telling us how his son learned the basics from a guy in his 30's doing it... And I agree, it will be a bubble, it will pop. So long as the kid is pocketing profits along the way he won't get hit too hard. It's the people who believe in continual doubling down thinking they're...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This topic came up in general chatter before I started a training session today. One guy talked about his son, who was 16, who had discovered flipping pokemon cards for cash. Who never played the game, never watched the cartoon, doesn't know Pokemon from shit. But told him "Dad, I heard about...

    What tickles your pickle

    Yeah, it's a benefit where I work (Premium partially subsidized by the company, like adding Dental or Vision in my benefits) But also my company is California based, so there's a lot of "Crazy Liberal California Sensibilities" in our benefits package. heh

    What tickles your pickle

    I'm debating it since the version through my company can be leveraged along with a weird "flex benefit" we get to essentially cover all of the Heartworm preventatives for two beasts, plus most of the yearly checkups, for far less than just paying.... at least it SEEMS that way.

    If you do the "high to low".... 2017-2019 - 83% drop 2021-2023 - 77% drop So if you take that to mean each cycle is dropping 6% less than the previous off the top... Then we're looking at about a 70% off high drop. So 2025-2026 - Estimated 70% - Puts the bottom at around $36k That would be...

    I'm conflicted here because there's a lingering question about when the IPO hits Friday how much are other people with pre-IPO equity going to get? How much of that will they sell? How big will the "Sell the news" swing be..... Overall, if you bought every stock that IPOd and kept them 3...

    This is what concerns me as Israel also openly said they have not finished their military objectives in Lebanon. Sounds like they're just setting up for a couple day breather and then back to the dance.

    Hearing Bloomberg talk about it, this is partially follow through from Friday, and also because Israel and Iran are lobbing bombs again. The various Crude oil prices are also crawling up.

    Masters of the Universe (2026)

    From what I have heard you have to frame it with a similar take to the MK movie. What , at it's core, are you expecting exactly from a He Man movie? Are you looking for some rebuke or embracing of some cultural side you're fighting for? Or are you looking to see He Man end up fighting Skeletor?

    Yeah, over the last month alone a ton of stocks have seemingly gone parabolic. Giving back 10% probably shouldn't shock anybody at this point. My company is still up over 50% in the last 30 days. (ergo why I've been this "Is this irrational exuberance" monkey for the last few weeks...)

    I think it's that either he, or his people, have convinced him that the stock market is EVERYTHING in terms of the American economy. So now he has to make everything into something which should pump the markets. (i.e. "The Dow is at 50,000!!!!" memes)

    Clarkson's Farm

    Yeah, watched the first episode last night. I had seen on Twitter about his little scare so that didn't surprise me. And of course he played it up for maximum yuks. Looks like the "episode a night" rotation here at Chez Haus will be this and Spider Noir until we run out of those.
