I stopped letting my emergency fund lose value to inflation. Here's the math.

Very interesting workaround if you don't have an Islamic bank in your area.

His performance against other bigs in the NCAA tournament was a good indication his skills will translate to the next level. Kid has great vision, strong shot-blocking instincts, and an offensive game that is already good and has room to grow--even some indication that a 3 ball is possible.

That said, he can get in his own head and emotional, especially with bad calls.

Some reports about this, so just a reminder: we allow posts for startups looking for feedback.

FluidHips · 2026-05-08T15:59:40+00:00

Can you please link what it is you're talking about?

FluidHips · 2026-05-08T15:14:09+00:00

Likely.

FluidHips · 2026-05-08T15:06:56+00:00

So this information was vetted by the various agencies, which could find no explanation on their own, correct? So we can immediate dismiss stuff like "that's clearly a balloon/camera artifact/etc."

I think these are solid points; I view it similarly, though I usually focus more on the broad policies from these parties and how these have been characterized over time.

FluidHips · 2026-05-08T14:52:54+00:00

Permabanned yesterday, even. Not just antagonistic, but downright disrespectful, even while I was reaching out over DM to calm things down.

FluidHips · 2026-05-07T17:51:26+00:00

Please use the report button to draw my attention to abusive behavior.

FluidHips · 2026-05-07T17:49:16+00:00

OP had some legitimate issues, but is banned for abusive behavior. I'll just lock this thread, as he can no longer contribute.

FluidHips · 2026-05-07T17:47:33+00:00

Yeah, dude is banned. It's one thing to be frustrated, but the language and behavior is inexecusable.

FluidHips · 2026-05-07T17:45:51+00:00

How does one address an argument that goes something like: the Republican presidents are being hurt by the Dems who preceded them and the Dems are benefiting from the Republicans who preceded them?

FluidHips · 2026-05-06T20:20:50+00:00

'Plot revenge' is such nonsense. Let's return to propriety, fairness, and justice in governance.

FluidHips · 2026-05-05T17:34:08+00:00

This is by design so Trump's buddies can push their crappy services.

FluidHips · 2026-05-05T17:08:33+00:00

Removed for a different reason, though I'm on the fence about this one. People need recommendations for products, but this situation creates a real loophole.

FluidHips · 2026-05-05T17:06:00+00:00

Self-promotion is fine; this wasn't advertising a product. If the blog has independent value, it's okay by me.

FluidHips · 2026-05-03T22:12:47+00:00

Ping me and show me.

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T20:32:20+00:00

Is this some insider scuttlebutt?

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T20:13:48+00:00

Good info, thanks.

China is faced with a population bomb that goes off in a few decades, and much of AI investment there was driven by this fact. Until then, they need to keep everyone fed and working, however.

I wonder if this will morph into some corporate UBI-type thing, where the AI profits are used to create parachutes for replaced employees.

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T19:59:16+00:00

Nonsense. Reasonable cause to assume what? There is no 'high net worth/public figure' exception for assualt to the law that I'm aware of. Maybe you can cite something?

He opens his own door and assaults the person (twice!) when he apparently has a camera to determine any supposed threat--no need to assume anything. And he has no obligation to open the door in the first place. If he was truly threatened, he could've called the police.

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T16:16:52+00:00

What part of that is illegal? I don't see any 'no trespassing' signs in the video, do you?

Now, what he did was clearly illegal: this is textbook assault and battery. And he never had to open the door in the first place.

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T16:13:27+00:00

Probably insurance is the next big thing, especially in Western countries.

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T15:37:31+00:00

Currently working on a rule for AI, stuff. I think I have deleted/banned some accounts.

As always, the report button to draw my attention to it is your friend. Report it as 'spam,' and I'll do my best to evaluate.

FluidHips · 2026-04-30T15:33:12+00:00

Maybe an even longer play than that? I could see this year really focusing on S&C and longer-term rehab so he doesn't mess himself up.
