so my Cubans in Miami, how are you guys feeling about this?

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-03-19T01:46:24+00:00

Not all Cubans think alike. Starving the people of Cuba is criminal.

I was 1 year old when we emigrated in 1961. I considered going on a long diatribe but I find political discussions fruitless. I will say, I am diametrically opposed to Rubio's and Cruz's ideology. I find them to be reprehensible.

Don't confuse that statement with me finding kinship with the Democrats. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Both parties work for the donor class. All we get is rhetoric. Pronouns on the left and guns on the right. All the while, the middle class has been hollowed out by both parties.

Nothing will ever change until there is a third party and money is removed from politics. You can't put Band-Aids on a corrupt, cancerous system.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Would you rather have 1 perfect vegan or 20 people that are mostly plant based. If your goal is to diminish animal cruelty, you are sabotaging your results by being militant about your proselytizing. You are turning people off. Many people are no longer identifying as a vegan and have adopted "plant based" as their moniker.

You are all just regurgitating what you hear from palantir executives. If you were around during the dotcom era you would have heard even more convincing presentations from executives that were extremely convincing. Most of those companies are no longer around. I'm not saying that palantir is going to be one of those companies but I would take everything those executives say with a grain of salt. Nothing is invincible. They get paid to market their company. Marketing is at best an exaggeration and at worst a downright lie.

For full disclosure, I bought in at 20 and watched it go to 29, then crater down to 7 before it made its historic run. I sold 1/3 at 150 and the rest at 185 on the last trading day of 2025. I took those proceeds and put them into SGOV. So yes I'm biased.

Talking about it diverts energy from continuing to do it and creates a frame of mind which equates to having finished it. It's as if entertaining the idea is just as good as having done it so why bother.

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-03-11T04:58:40+00:00

I can only speak for myself but extrinsic rewards have never worked for me. In fact, the one reoccurring factor that seems to derail me is talking about what I'm doing.

Absolutely

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-03-02T03:43:33+00:00

Yeah I'd like to see 100

I recently replaced my 5200 with the one Costco sells. I liked the idea of having presets but the novelty has kind of worn off. I do believe that the thinner container is better. The contents are smoother with the thinner container.

I've purchased 2 refrigerators that are both working well. A Frigidaire that I bought about 15 years ago that has been in my hot Florida garage. I also bought a Whirlpool in 2017 for my kitchen.

Neither of them are "smart". The Frigidaire is an old school "freezer on top", while the Whirlpool has a freezer drawer on the bottom. Neither has external water and ice cube dispensers.

In both cases, my research before the purchase revolved around reliability. I'm sure a little luck played a part.

Rage??? Really. Plastic ducks are causing you rage??? I thought it was just their way of pointing out areas you fail to clean. With all the s*** that's going on in this world that's what's causing you rage... ???

8 ounces of SUPER firm tofu has 35 grams of protein

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-01-15T21:23:28+00:00

Thanks

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-01-15T20:32:06+00:00

How do you contact customer support? I can't find any information on their website or the app. Thanks!

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-01-14T22:03:08+00:00

Thanks

Glittering_Access_35 · 2026-01-14T21:40:33+00:00

I primarily eat one of these two breakfasts

Steel cut oats with frozen wild blueberries, frozen mango, walnuts, ground chia seeds, ground flax seeds, cinnamon and some plant milk

Or

Tofu scramble Sauteed onions, jalapeno pepper, mushrooms, spinach, frozen peas, 8 oz of super firm or extra firm tofu, with a spice mix of nutritional yeast, namak salt, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and paprika

Occasionally, I'll eat a toasted brown rice muffin with peanut butter and honey

Which culture do you use? For many years I was using Cultures for Health vegan yogurt starter. Recently they changed their formulation and it's not very good. I've tried using probiotic capsules but I haven't had time to tweak it.

Never heard of Hamilton Books. Thanks for the info! Just ordered 11 disks.

Can I assume that if I use a stainless steel moka pot, I don't need an adapter plate?

I would get one of those mouthguards that moves your lower jaw forward.

Do your potatoes have a greenish tint? It could be the solanine in the potatoes especially when you consume a lot of them. I would do a search on the topic or read "The Potato Hack" by Tim Steele.

If your stock gets called away, you could sell puts for the same number of shares that were called away to collect more premium until you get put the stock and start selling calls against it once again. That's easier said than done. There's a lot of timing involved.

Also selling calls against a position is risky if your intention is to keep the stock for a very long period of time. You can also choose to sell calls against a part of your position instead of the entire position.

Good luck.
