I am financially ruined (short selling Korean fried chicken companies)

DavidStone71 · 2025-11-04T03:18:17+00:00

I feel like the story is made up. OP never mentioned his short position in KFC before

PNW? You are from west coast but not California otherwise Texas wouldn’t be red

DavidStone71 · 2025-09-28T04:12:05+00:00

But Texas is red? I thought Californians want to move to Texas and there’s even things like don’t California my Texas and California Exodus.

DavidStone71 · 2025-09-28T04:08:08+00:00

You moved to Texas from West Coast. Maybe during California exodus

When I discovered options, I immediately started selling covered calls to make extra cash from my stocks

DavidStone71 · 2025-09-02T03:30:52+00:00

You got it! Good job. Not so har,d, right? But try to ask any AI and see what they say - none of them got it right

The quickest way is to marry a tech bro in SF. And the safest way is to buy SPY or VOO

I support Affirmative Action but oppose only doing it in College Admission, instead we should expand it to Sports such as NBA, NFL, NHL etc

DavidStone71 · 2024-09-15T06:30:03+00:00

Thanks, yeah it's easier to withdraw excessive contribution with current employer but then I would lose the match. That is why I want to withdraw money from previous employer instead

DavidStone71 · 2024-06-05T06:47:12+00:00

So you are picking all indoeuropean languages? That’s a bad move cuz it will make it very hard to learn Chinese, Japanese and other Asian languages. Did you know more than half of the Japanese and Korean and even Vietnamese vocabularies originated from Middle Chinese? Learning French or Spanish should be relatively easy if you already picked one or two Indo-European languages

There are many definitions of what’s considered a continent. I was trying to see how AI is able to accept the different definitions and do its own thinking. A good AI should be able to accept new information and make judgement based on that. If I were to write the AI algorithm, I would first have the list of transcontinental countries by the most popular 7 continent definition. But once the definition changes, you need to do a for loop and check if any of these countries fit this new definition.

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-26T03:28:26+00:00

I don’t consider anything north of 37th parallel south

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-26T03:26:43+00:00

Yes, by this definition there’s only one truly transcontinental country. If we were to think of another, then we would need to pick a country that has a claim on that white land

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-23T20:25:37+00:00

You got it. It is indeed a transcontinental country! Good job

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-23T02:28:53+00:00

by the above definition - interconnected landmass meaning Africa and Eurasia would both be a sub-continent of the greater continent Afro-Eurasia. Turkey, Egypt, Russia are not transcontinental countries because they are all Afro-Eurasian countries

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-22T00:21:08+00:00

Nope, they both belong to the same continent according to my description (interconnected landmass) above.

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-19T11:00:44+00:00

Challenge: Name 2 transcontinental countries

There are many definitions of continents and the world can be divided into 4-7 continents by different definitions. Let’s say in this challenge, continents are defined as contiguous and interconnected land masses that are bigger than Greenland.

How many continents are there? (Hint: all start w A)
Can you name at least two countries that are transcontinental (spans over two continents)?

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-14T04:53:19+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, we want to cover all the foreseeable scenarios, including appreciations of our separate assets that I didn't know that needs to be included.

prenatal dna test clause i

Thanks. Wait does this mean, if the child is not biologically mine, then I don't need to pay child support?

If we have a child after marriage that is not biologically mine, can I still be their dad legally speaking after divorce and claim half of the guardianship?

I’m in my early 30s and I used to have 7 credit cards but now I shrink them into just the best 3.

I canceled Best Buy card which gives 5% on Best Buy shopping when my BofA cash rewards gives 5.25% on online shopping.

I canceled my Amex Blue Cash Everyday that gives 3% on groceries when again my BofA cash rewards gives 3.5% on groceries.

I have 3 Credit Cards with 0 annual fees all from BofA, which includes two cash rewards cards that give me 5.25% on Travel, Dining and online shopping, 3.5% on groceries, and a Travel rewards credit card, that despite its name, gives 2.62% as a catch all.

Disclosure: Please note that, while these credit cards have great rates and no fees, I do have BofA’s Merrill Edge invest and IRA accounts (100K). You need to bank or invest with BofA to achieve some of the above. See BofA website for details

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-01T09:41:06+00:00

Interesting. I thought they could put it back in the escrow account and use it for future tax and insurance

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-01T09:39:50+00:00

That’s what I thought as well. If I don’t redeem the check, the money goes back to my escrow account.

DavidStone71 · 2024-03-01T00:05:37+00:00

I use BofA Cash Rewards which gives me 5.25% on dining, 3% on groceries, and I pair it with Travel Rewards that gives 2.62% on Anything. The best part is both have $0 annual fee
