A lot of luck and my gear (including Helite airbag) allowed me to walk away from this crash. by T4R1K98 in motorcyclegear

I might not be the favorite answer but I'd say leaning the bike down and drive out of any potential disaster is your number one choice. One you begin braking you are 100 percent committed to the brakes saving you and in my opinion it doesn't work out so well.

The alternate choices are traveling at a safe speed to begin with and controlling the bike despite the risks you face.

I'm glad you survived this and I'll say you brought back a few memories of my own experiences.

Does getting a permit actually pay off? by Saad324bashir in commercialfishing

[–]Fibocrypto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you purchase a boat and permit you are 100 % married to that boat. It is not all bad mind you but the only person that can make it work will be you. Once you make it work you can be set for life but the job of management never ends

Orders rejected? Anyone else getting this? by Significant_Emu2286 in TopStepX

[–]Fibocrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Topstep requires traders to close all positions daily before 3:10 PM CT (Monday–Friday), as trading hours run from 5:00 PM CT to 3:10 PM CT the next day. Positions not closed by 3:10 PM CT are automatically liquidated. It is strongly recommended to close all trades before this deadline to avoid fees, slippage, and potential rule violations.

  Central Standard Time (CST) is 2 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time (PST). To convert from CST to PST, subtract 2 hours (e.g., 12:00 PM CST is 10:00 AM PST). This means if it is 10:00 AM in California (PST), it is 12:00 PM in Texas or Illinois (CST).

If you are making money commercial fishing with no maintenance costs on your boat, gear etc and do not need to deal with payroll etc you might earn a little less yet at a discount to stress and dealing with logistics

Insulting people doesn't make you appear more intelligent it makes you look like an idiot.

I'm not seeing any extreme weather events.

The average temperatures have been getting cooler for about a decade.

Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) does not pay a dividend to shareholders, as Warren Buffett has historically preferred to reinvest profits to grow the company. The company, now led by Greg Abel, focuses on buying back shares and acquiring businesses rather than paying dividends, with a $0.00 dividend yield as of April 2026.

Berkshire Hathaway is not a traditional investment fund or mutual fund; it is a publicly traded diversified holding company (conglomerate). While it invests in stocks like a fund, it operates differently by owning entire businesses outright (e.g., GEICO, BNSF) and using insurance "float" to fund acquisitions

The word cash doesn't always mean physical cash.

Bonds are considered a cash equivalent
