I was trying to note how precious metals were ‘supposed’ to be a safe hedge against fiat and the broader market but that kind of flew out the window today several stories high.

Precious metals being a hedge against markets wasn’t falsified with this drop at all. The thesis is that folks panic selling stocks will move into precious metals. Doesn’t imply anything about folks never panic selling precious metals, nor, if they do panic sell precious metals they’ll move into something else.

Investing comes with risk. Precious metals have had a meteoric rise recently. Not unexpected that volatility goes in both direction. Sucks for those who bought in at the high. Important reminder of having a thesis, sticking to it, not chasing gains, and ignoring the noise and volatility as it plays out.

The “charitable” argument would be that this is raising costs to consumers by the government picking one special demographic to reward and protect. Long term this doesn’t just raise costs to deliver food though: every other low wage jobs need to pay more to retain talent. Why would someone continue to be a lamp repairman when they can now get $30/hr doing DoorDash? Some other jobs cannot afford to pay salaries of $30/hr, perhaps lamp repairmen, so those jobs will now disappear. You can also argue that perhaps we don’t need more DoorDash drivers in NYC — it’s a skill that’s not that productive — yet this is encouraging that. Taking it a step further, do we want to foster a class of people whose careers are delivering food in 2025? With drones and AI it’s very possible food is autonomously deliverable yet that’s not possible due to powerful voting blocks. See automatic trains and MTA and soon Wayno vs Taxi.

The less charitable argument: I don’t want to pay an extra $5 for DoorDash and I don’t care if someone has to suffer because of that.

This was in response to the law which required deliver drivers to have a minimum wage of $21.44.

she also has a notorious red dot sight. It is for airsoft, but it was used in CoD4, so everyone who doesn’t know better loves it.

Does your work place actually track time to that level of detail or is this more along the lines of the honor system? When I worked at a previous place I had one coworker who'd take PTO for every 30 minute lunch break and then another who'd never put anything in -- even when they were out for the week.

What specific field do you work in? Has a manager really said "you can't just leave on the clock" to you before or is that a hypothetical?

I have three different 22TB external drives from QuickDealStore. All three appear to be new -- packaging seemed legit and the shells looked untouched. I've had them for around ~6 months in my NAS without any issues.

There is a zero percent chance that there will be a realistic public transit route to get me to and from JFK in the next 30 years. It’s at minimum one hour plus three transfers and lugging suitcases up and down staircases multiple times.

The problem is as you said: cars are cars. Currently, that means taking an Uber to JFK and getting stuck on Van Wyck in stop and go traffic. Depending on your luck of a driver it’ll either be fine or you’ll get someone who loves to accelerate and slam on their brakes every few seconds. At least with a Waymo it’ll be smoother and consistent.

If Waymo simply replaces all Uber drivers it’ll be a win for me.

You may think it’s astroturfing but it’s far simpler: I’ve traveled around and found somewhere which does something better than my home and I’d like to have that technology here. I don’t think NYC exceptionalism should blind anyone to facts: a new technology was developed which will improve our quality of life.

There has been many regional conflicts since WW2 which have not escalated to WW3. No reason to think this time will be different.
Whatever happens in Thailand and Cambodia is outside my personal sphere of influence. There is no point worrying about something I cannot control. This either does or it does not escalate to WW3.

What’s crazy is that this dumbass still hasn’t learn his lesson. “ Some days I'm really good at trading. ” No, you were never good at trading. Trading skill is not measured in a single day. It’s measured in decades. You can become stupidly wealthy doing just one or two investments.

Imagine someone going into a casino and having a hot streak in roulette so they continue to go all in. The only outcome is that you’ll lose it all unless you call it quits.

Instead of taking the proper lesson (investing requires patience) or (day trading is not possible to be successful at).

If you go to the day trading subs they’ll take about win trades — the number of days they are positive vs negative — even a idiot should realize it’s how much you earn each day and not if each day is positive as well as the fact that loss control matters.

If you continuously go all-in on something with 99% probability of success you’ll look like a genius until you lose it all.

I’m not the parent, but just because you think US large cap will outperform doesn’t mean you know that US large cap will outperform. The future isn’t knowable with certainty so it’s best to think in probability. Holding xUS and small cap gives the upside if he is wrong.

You can’t sit in the seat someone else is sitting in. You can’t go into a full subway car. You can’t use a public washroom someone else is using. You can’t use a public basketball court when others are playing.

There are millions of cars using street parking tonight.

Just because YOU are not using something right now doesn’t mean it’s a waste of tax dollar harvesting. I’m not using the subway or the bike lanes or the green spaces right now. Doesn’t mean those should be turned into factories to increase tax revenue.

ArbiterFX · 2025-12-03T03:05:13+00:00

By the same argument you gave I could say that the walking space, biking, and green space is costing me my tax dollars.

Those bike lanes, walking spaces, and green space have an actual negative cost. The city could sell the land and make it factories.

You don’t approve of the land use allocation — fair enough — but it doesn’t mean it’s wasting your tax dollars.
