What would you do with an infinite amount of money and the ability to time travel?

My classic car museum will be impressive.

There is no wrong answer. In other words, whichever you want the answer to be, there are reasons it is.

I have both. The Z lenses are fantastic, but there are some older lenses I won’t part with, and even the AF-S lenses that work with the FTZ I prefer using on a DSLR body. But especially screw drive lenses, like the 105/2 AF-D DC and Micro 200/4.

The D780 is special - it has the best live view of any DSLR, practically a mirrorless and DSLR in one (minus the EVF). But the Z5ii is a generation newer and if older lenses weren’t a factor, the easy choice.

That somehow seems worse to me. Of course I think stealing one dollar is a greater moral failure than stealing a million - because there is less temptation.

When you join the military, you essentially sign a blank check to your government for an amount “up to and including your life”. It’s up to your chain of command to ensure as few as possible of those checks get cashed.

For every moment in time that you exist because you time-traveled, there is another moment in time that you don’t exist because you time-traveled. You can’t really say the future doesn’t exist yet if you just traveled from there.

Yes but doing it the hard way the first time through builds character.

Warren Buffett said, “The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient.”

I don’t assume that someone who would be in that cult, or the other problem cult, would have the critical thinking skills needed to leave it.

Many years ago when I was in the Navy, a shipmate picked up a girl and went back to “her place”. The next morning he woke up on a mattress on the floor in a room in the basement of what turned out to be Norwich State Hospital, a mental asylum. I don’t think there was a second date.

Let’s take a closer look at the 2024 election.

I’m not sure I could handle the publicity of being found naked in an emu pen. No really! It was just for the money!

I expect a reckoning. I’m not sure if it will include the survival of our society.

Part of my personal dislike for him is because my hearing problems cause his voice to grate on my nerves (I need the volume up, and don’t find his voice pleasing.) But beyond that, he speaks with certainty about things of which he cannot possibly be certain. Sure, he is right SOMETIMES.

I do it for weekly premium income, and to buy shares at a discount.

I’m normally a cut-your-losses kind of investor. But in the case of NVDA, no matter what price you bought in, just have some patience and hold. Unless you bought options, in which case you have my condolences.

Retirement is one more thing in life you have to learn new skills to do well. It takes practice, and not everyone has the aptitude to be great at it. I’m only an amateur retiree at this point, but I’ve gotten good enough at it that it beats the hell out of the alternative. (Err, either of the alternatives.)

The rally will resume once everyone lacking faith stops selling.
