Ok, that's bullshit AI blogspam. "Best days" don't matter, trends do, and it doesn't do anything to support its claim.

I was going to ask how the Nvidia ride was for you last month, since I know you stayed heavily into it.
How often do you reallocate? I've always been jealous of people with most of their money in 401ks and IRAs, because dealing with cap gains is a nightmare for my money with no tax protection.
Anyone know what proportion of kids in their school district are in special education programs? I was shocked to hear that it's over 25% and about to hit 30 here.
(The state caps funding at some level lower than that, so they're asking for an even higher levy)
I know the kids aren't alright these days, but unless my district is a huge outlier it seems like another institutional metastasization to absorb the overproduction of social workers.
It'll bounce. I bought a batch late 2021 that spent all of 2022 25% down, and didn't break even until the end of 2023. We're not even close to that yet.
Nvidia's up almost 7% today alone, and is basically flat on 6 mth.
Throwing everything in all at once always runs the risk of hitting a local peak. Sometimes the tells aren't reliable either: the surge of redditors and streamers talking about playing the market last year made me pull out early and miss a lot of recent gains.

In retrospect it would have been a lot less disruptive to let him post normally, wouldn't it?
Transshipment costs are so massive relative to extra ocean-miles these days that I can't imagine a short rail line ever making sense. Hell, the existing canal is fairly marginal iirc.
Reminds me, I wonder if anyone has a breakdown on how east/West Coast imports from china reach the middle of the country.
Edit: well I'll be damned, Maersk at least tried it for 5 months last year during the throughput restrictions. Rail link from Balboa to Manzanillo.
So it's not as crazy an idea as I thought. But still not currently viable even in the worse case situation for canal capacity.
If he's the guy I think he is, you've permabanned him 5-10 times already. The one who started using a lib trolling style to introduce holocaust revision articles that he pretended to be shocked and outraged about.
Is this the turning point for WW2 revisionism entering the mainstream?
was a huge tell. No actual lib would phrase it like that.
Of course, it's worth asking why pretending to be an obnoxious leftist is the best way to avoid getting modded for weeks around here...
What? No, I'm shocked the quoted part has survived on Wikipedia without getting removed, problematized, denounced, or "recontextualized" with some Scientific American opinion piece.

How on earth is the fst page still on Wikipedia? One of the major contributors has been permabanned, but the page itself hasn't been targeted.
This also implies that if a human from a given ancestral population has a mixed half-sibling, that human is closer genetically to an unrelated individual of their ancestral population than to their mixed half-sibling

Long before Napoleon, I mean the original first coalition wars.
I think the process is "hey, we're going with kamela, give us some polls we can spin." The whole polling and media campaign is coordinated on whatever the new version of JounaList is.
That one woman with the "kamela landslide incoming!" poll right before the election was obviously not organic imo. It's all organized narrative shaping, and the line they were going with was indisputably "Kamela: it's inevitable (or you're weird)"
Saying the polls can't have been manipulated because that might reduce dem turnout is trying to ignore the evidence that all of their strategy was based around demoralizing Republicans.

Ironically I am not the same person as Bleep.
Oh come on. Trying to act like the "Kamelanomicon" narrative never happened isn't going to work.
Do you want me to link 50 articles about how recent polling surges show that America has rediscovered its favorite brat VP?
The "I don't get it, what do you even mean" tactic is incredibly obnoxious. It's just a way of insinuating that someone is an incoherent schizo conspiracy theorist without openly breaking the rules. And it doesn't even work to bully people without a supporting crew of redditors jeering and snapping their fingers.

Fences aren't meant to stop people, they're meant to mark "the gate people who belong there walk through" and "the barrier people get shot for climbing over with blankets".
All of my security is behind an initial screening layer that wouldn't stop anyone, but anyone who does come through it sets off alarms rather than "someone coming down driveway" notifications.
Not really. You could get a lot of positive change simply by identifying and liquidating the right elements. Look at the power the french revolution unleashed without any coherent vision, simply by executing entire classes of people and confiscating all their horrifically misallocated assets.
It wasn't the "temple of rationality" and the decimal calendar that let them fight off the whole of Europe. It was liquidating the existing order in a tide of violence and hate.
An awful lot of America's problems could be solved by tearing off the cover over government spending and taking a hot poker to the blood-sucking parasites clogging up the system. No other reforms needed. Suddenly ten billion dollar federal grants to build EV charging stations might actually get something done instead of being laundered into handouts for party members through dozens of layers of non-profits and agencies.
I've been looking it up since you wrote this, and the number of common failures is stupid. Faulty charging port motor systems (why the fuck does it have a computer controlled electric motor for the fuel port anyway?!), the front suspension system needing to be cut off by the bolts and replaced, random error messages on the console that not even the Tesla service department can figure out, bricking from updates like a $40,000 Xbox...
Jesus I really want one of these things, but they're doing everything possible to turn me off.

But since you know the mandates exist, why are you baffled people opposed the project? Shouldn't it make perfect sense to you?
I've been holding onto a few hundred k in cash at 5ish%, feeling very stupid for the past year as everyone's gainz blow past. We're only down 8% from peak right now, vs the 25% crash in 2022.
Praying for a huge nosedive.

That's a nooreddit link. Remove the "old." part, which may have been automatically added by the site the same way it used to auto-convert Twitter to nitter.
Wait, really? They took us to one of the Holocaust museums as kids and the soap and lampshade stuff was front and center, right next to the pile o'shoes display and gold fillings. It's 100% in "top ten things everyone knows about the Holocaust."
Looking at the wiki article, five years after our trip there were still published arguments going "we've gotta stop claiming this because it gives the denierists ammunition!", suggesting that team soap was still firmly in control in the early 00s.
The more this stuff happens, the more I Nootice Signal's point about the revisionists forcing revisions that are never, ever acknowledged to have happened. The narrative just smoothly changes from one second to the next.
Just think, if you'd only put $1000 into Intel in 2000, you'd have almost $300 now!
At least when something drops like this you get to say things like "Intel's up 16% this week!"
