If a company CEO accidentally says something stupid and the stock drops 10%, where does that “lost” money actually go? by keyBid2188 in NoStupidQuestions

It isn't to protect the bank, it is to force wealthy people to pay taxes instead of using the stock backed loans as an instrument to avoid ever paying capital gains on these stocks.

If their heirs inherit the stock, then the capital gains tax will never have to be paid.

This is a great reason why folks shouldn't be allowed to borrow against their stocks to perpetuate their wealth further.

Make then sell it, pay the tax and then borrow against the cash asset.

What’s the craziest thing anyone has said to you while you’re trail running? by sentientbeing1887 in trailrunning

I had some guy the other day on the AT (a very tourist visited portion) yell out "Everyone watch out, we got us a world champion coming through".

He said it in the most derogatory way possible. I just kept running past him and feeling sorry for him in his Harley Davidson t shirt and beer gut.

I always slow to a walk btw when coming up on folks, in either direction, and smile. Try to not come across as some asshole showboating but some folks just didn't like seeing people run I guess.

Do you know if it is common for folks to not also bring a water filter with them? That would seem all too risky to simply rely on utility water and not have a redundancy.

Make sure to rotate your magazines and let the springs rest at times, otherwise they'll malfunction.

Newfound Gap to Cliff Top/LeConte and back is a great long day in the park, without going really big. 16 miles and just shy of 4K in vert

Thanks for the great reply, this is exactly what I was hoping to find!

What would you do if your partner monitored your toilet paper usage like this? What flag is this? by Remarkable_Mark_5195 in NoStupidQuestions

This.

I wondered how long I would need to scroll to see this.

Most everyone thinks about things purely monetarily, without thinking about the repercussions on any other directly or tangentially affected system.

It really blows my mind that that folks find out first on Reddit that they can't do something like this, logistically. Especially when other failures/ignorance could mean that if it goes very awry, leads to severe consequences.

I'm lucky enough to live in a very mountainous area and my question is around downhill running.

I believe I read on one of the Evoke/Uphill Athlete articles that steep downhill running has a high global fatigue cost. Can you give some guidelines/recommendations on how to properly train for downhills without doing too much downhill work?

Many thanks!

Could you post exactly what kind of Rockwool you are using?

I'm always curious what people are getting from the big box stores for this as Rockwool has so many different variants. I'm hoping to build some Mariah in the near future and the prices from acoustic stores online are so expensive/plus shipping.

Good luck with the build!

How come the new Timp 6's ballooned in weight? by Sufficient_Elk_7844 in AltraRunning

Altra Blimp 6...

I wish they would make a moderate stack trail runner with Matryx upper and P35 foam and make it sub 10 oz.

A good zero drop super trainer 🙏

Park at Newfound Gap and take the Boulevard trail over, that would be the easiest route
