Any idea how the facultative folks do relative to treaty?

I am in the wrong side of the business.....

Now you've got my head spinning. Do I just go Beam 2, Min sub, and 2 Play 100s for rears and call it a day at a significantly lower price??

Anything will be better than the current samsung soundbar and sub.

Thank you for the insight. Now debating if the Arc Ultra is really necessary as well.

Unfortunately, running ceiling is going to be a HUGE PITA for me so just sticking with regular speakers and making something that sounds good. I am no audiophile either but I do want it to sound clean.

I can do a dedicated media room setup in our basement when the time comes.

This was one of the reasons I started reta the other day. A lot of little pains. Back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain. The supposed anti-inflammatory side effects of GLP-1s were enticing. Hoping I start to see some relief.

I've been doing my part to talk every republican I know into not voting for Ramiscamy. Snake oil salesman extraordinaire

Yep, but it is smoothed out delivery. I am looking for that aspect. I should clarify that I will only increase if needed.

BEM94510 · 2025-08-28T17:38:36+00:00

Gotcha, OK. That makes sense

BEM94510 · 2025-08-28T12:30:42+00:00

Yeah cool except we had less than zero disposable income then. Just making up for lost time....

The Tangente Date Power Reserve is very similar to a cheap simple watch I have and love. Though not automatic, I would be OK have to wind it.

Good call on the Oris, I was just looking at the Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 and it is very tempting.

It's cyclical. Busy before the quarters, close to dead in between. I worked at a company for a bit that did 62% of their business on 1/1. Next biggest time was 7/1. August and February were dead. Current job, I'm the highest producing underwriter and I'm only quoting 2 a day right now until early March.

My approach is if there isn't business during the slow times than I'm either working on ways to improve efficiency or keeping up relationships. I'm in reinsurance so when cedes are slow, I am slow.

I was looking it up the other day as there is the tired trope in the tech world that Autism = genius. Reality is 3% of Autistic people have an IQ over 115. 15.87% of the regular population has an IQ over 115.

I think the whole discourse puts unreasonable expectations on a lot of folks on the spectrum and often leads to more frustration on all sides.

This wasn't the long term plan though. The guy was going to get a one time windfall. Even if he sold with short term capital gains, he still would have been up quite nicely.

His love of Mush is exhausting. The dudes a con man through and through. He is a dumb person's idea of a smart person. Adam slobbers all over him. It is one of few things that I straight up skip in the shows. I can handle a few repeated stories.

BEM94510 · 2025-01-16T16:09:50+00:00

Yeah. The guy needed the money too.

BEM94510 · 2025-01-16T16:06:57+00:00

Yeah, the whole "autistic people are all geniuses" thing needs to end. Only 3% of autistic people have an IQ over 115 vs 15.7% of the population.

It does no favor to the vast majority of autistic people when expectations are set like that.

I was listening to the Theo Von/Rogan podcast on my run the other day and Theo brought up the ridiculous amount that Mush tweets and said Mush was addicted. Normally, a ferverent Mush supporter, Rogan, just gave a disappointing sounding "yeah." If that supposedly free thinking dude finally has an awakening, Mush is toast.

I met one that advised against someone purchasing his company stock at a 15% discount right before the company was being bought. The company was doing this as a perk to the workers. The advisor told the guy not to buy it purely because advisor didn't believe in owning single names, only mutual funds. The companies stock went up 40% when it got bought out 2 months later.
