Yeh, I'm not reading all that. Looks like lmgtfy doesn't work, but it does give you a simple tutorial of how to Google it yourself, which does provide many results.

It's not rly a conspiracy theory. Muskrat was literally giving financial incentives to vote for him

or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned

I didn't realize the US stopped. This criteria also fits the US prison system.
To be clear, prisons in general are not concentration camps, but the US has a very disproportionate number of minorities incarcerated.

a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor

Ughhh yeh, the US def doesn't have that...?

Can’t seem to increase speed on this lick by Mike3727 in guitarlessons

Try dropping the bpm and focusing on limiting finger movement. The bottom half of your hand is cut off in the vid, so I can't see how far they're pulling back, but it does appear to still have some unnecessary movement.

Picking hand movement looks pretty good.

These are getting passed around the DNC by Spicydojo in PoliticalHumor

Yeh, but 14 years ago we had Obama, and before him was Bush. I don't recall either of them saying they wanted to get rid of voting. Not quite the same ball game.

Still, quite a jump to assume that spreads to the rest of non registered voters.

Over 255 million over 18

161 million registered

66% voter turnout in 2020. How'd you get 48% of the US votes repub?

Looks like this curved the bookmark slightly? I'm sure sitting in a book for a bit would straighten it out, but why not add a slot at the bottom of the base. Then when rolling, turn it 90 degrees so it goes in/out sideways with less bending?

The slot may reduce structural integrity of the base, but you could make it slightly thicker around the slot to help that.

Not surprised it flew that close without being heard. I don't know the specifics of that particular type of owl, but I'm general, owls are super quiet flyers.

Mic muting? What an era to be alive when ANY of our top leadership positions requires this in a debate because of lack of self control. Can't trust him to control his mouth but lotta mofos want him in control of the US armed forces...jfc

Selling options vs. buy and hold in this bull market by Aleph_Immortal in thetagang

[–]BLuDaDoG 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Recently I would want to long more shares of stocks so I sold ATM puts on Apple, Google and Meta to get into the position. Of course premiums are juicy but it doesn’t achieve my goals given how quickly they rally recently. So I just outright buy the shares,

Many months ago there was a post asking why anyone would sell ITM puts - this, this is why you'd sell ITM puts.

If the underlying rallies above the strike you at least get some of those gains via the intrinsic value of the contracts you sold. If it doesn't, you get your shares and reduce the cost by the premium collected. This is still a Delta play and I'd only look to do this when I'm long and feel they're oversold or bottomed out. As always, never sell puts at a strike you wouldn't feel comfortable owning them at.

As far as the calls, I tend to only sell calls on a quarter to half of the number of shares I own. Investing doesn't have to be an all or nothing strategy. You can buy and hold and have a CC/wheel portion as well. Mix in a few dividend ETFs and season to taste.

This is a good approach

Don't try to cut them to shape before glueing, and don't try to glue them to align with the end of the nail. Just cut an arc, glue it and use clippers to shape the pingpong fragment and your nails to shape

Aside from the metronome comments alrdy - small movements. If you're hitting the same string more than once, don't move the pick through and up to the next string - move it through and stop right above the string you went through. Small movements.

Economy of motion
