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

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.

Yeah.. Pet Insurance is a real thing now it seems.... I'm really not sure what that says about society.

So did a hypothetical exercise with Grok today.... Turned out better than I thought it would. Might use this strategy for next years stock picker contest. heh I present to you : "Texas Top 25 ETF" Limited to the 25 largest (by current market cap) publicly traded Fortune 1000 companies...

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...

Yeah, I was looking at this the other day : 2019 bottom trough.... ~4100 2023 bottom Trough..... ~16600 (almost exactly 4x 2019) 2026 has already hit and slightly dipped under ~67500 (4x 2023 bottom) Would shock me if we drifted a little further down... also wouldn't shock me if we fluttered...

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.

For once Google really comes up with a good new feature...

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.

The KOSPI turned off the auto-brake and has gotten to -7.3%.... They're already saying they expect a bad day when Hong Kong opens in a bit.

So..... I don't know if I should say it's time to buckle up, or it's time to scout out your best Monday day drinking spot...

I've started looking at the Frameworks.... https://frame.work/laptop13 Seems to be the most DIY friendly laptop. Including a full on "Bring your own OS, storage, memory, whatever" model. Drawback, the build out I want buying the drive, memory from them will be around $2600. And won't ship...

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)

OK. This has me asking questions this morning.... Can someone correct me if I'm wrong in the belief that stronger jobs markets, while inflation is still above target directly encourages the fed into a more restrictive stance (i.e. possible interest rate increases)?? Is that not where were...

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.

heh.... Shanks is getting spicy about this.

I do admit I would love to see them make an announcement that after fan backlash they have changed up the creative team and bring him out as the new exec producer.

The degree to which the show called this years ago really is astounding.. ;)

This is exactly why I faded on SG:U Incoming rage bait.. in 3.... 2.... 1.....

Oh my... Dallas folks have a new holy war. Both the Mavs AND the Stars seem to have locked in moving out of downtown and to the north end of town for the Mavs, and a northern suburb for the Stars. Urbanites are SUPER salty, but the population heat map bears out the logic :

Saw an interesting stat that if they were all adjusted for inflation Stargate would have clocked in as the second highest grossing Star Trek motion picture, and the highest grossing ST:TNG movie.

Man.... "Hot boy summer" has really went downhill. Unrelated for the DFW peeps...:

Yes, but just ask anybody in latin America or Africa.... it's because our dirt is....

Well... The problem was they didn't want a ground up reboot, but they also wanted something new and different enough to draw in new fans. Just the legacy fans weren't enough apparently. Question is how do you appeal to a "modern audience" without turning the hardcores wholly against you?

Also over time many people cycle out of allergies. When I was a wee Haus I had an allergy list a mile long. One of my Dr's as a child mentioned that every 7 years or so I should get retested, as your histamine system can change as you mature. Sure enough in my mid teens I suddenly stopped...

Just watched the first episode and am thoroughly enjoying it. The wife and I have now taken an approach that we'll find a show to watch and watch one episode a night, as to draw it out and avoid "The Show Hole" as much as we can. heh She mentioned during it how she didn't feel like she'd seen...

I'm now at the point of just hoping this does better at the Box Office than the MK movie did. MK underperformed to the point it probably won't get a sequel. But also, it's a question of how much of a real marketing push this will get.

Irrational Exuberance Alert of the day (??) Watching Bloomberg for their close of trading day coverage and I hear..... "Iran risk on... Iran risk off... The honeybadger rally just don't care" The... Honeybadger... rally....

We must constantly degrade our life experiences to accommodate for the lowest common denominator, which unfortunately certain groups keep driving lower every.. single.. fucking.. year....

Glued? Mother of God..... Back when I cashed out some stuff for a few "serious house projects" I needed to tackle back last year top of that list of replacing the Federal Pacific panel that was still in play here at Chez Haus. I did not realize until last year how insane the issues on those...
