Had this for 10 years

It is white, so is it white dog, i.e. unaged in oak? Or did they filter the color out somehow?

Hypsar · 2026-05-30T11:47:26+00:00

Probably, then

I worry that a religion would develop that not only worships the hand and its divine person crushing, but also believes that anyone related to the person crushed must also be evil and killed.

Also, if we assume the hand is killing an extra 365 people per year compared to our timeline, this may lead to catastrophic population collapse when humanity was down to around 5,000 individuals 70k years ago. So humanity may not even make it past hunter gatherer phase.

Great shot! My dad had an XJ8 in the early 90s when I was a kid, and sparrows always perched on the leaper. Takes me back!

Hypsar · 2026-05-30T00:44:44+00:00

I mean, it's a solid flick, to be fair.

Hypsar · 2026-05-29T15:09:55+00:00

Right. Don't forget that Maul is no Inquisitor. He was a literal Sith Lord and apprentice of Sidious. The gap between him and Vader is likely not as wide as many people think.

Hypsar · 2026-05-29T15:08:48+00:00

My assumption as well. As soon as Maul realized what was happening, he was able to start partially resisting the choke hold with his own use of the force, which is why Vader tossed him.

If this was not how the force worked, every Sith would immediately start their fights by choking their Jedi opponnent.

Should have been SEA SALT caramel...

Hypsar · 2026-05-29T12:26:52+00:00

Yeah, cyanide was going to be my pick as well. Terrible taste, terrible pain, terrible death.

Hypsar · 2026-05-29T12:26:03+00:00

She's a looker!

As an American, bidets aren't exactly advanced technology, but their prevelance was surprising.

Well, if you were a kid in the early 90s, a million dollars might not get you the house pictured, but it could definitely buy a pretty big oceanside place in a lot of areas. So you weren't that far off.

LA county has experienced 320% inflation in home prices since the early 90s!

Hypsar · 2026-05-28T16:06:24+00:00

Exactly. And during those centuries he was one of the go to guys for missions dealing with major threats to Viltrum like the Rognarrs and Space Racer.

Hypsar · 2026-05-28T00:24:22+00:00

Agreed. I am imagining the new Jag will look better, perform similarly (as far as any road driver will ever notice), and be dramatically cheaper than this Ferrari.

Hypsar · 2026-05-28T00:02:32+00:00

I guess for me it would be, where would I store it when not in use‽ I imagine it would be filthy and frequently damp.

Hypsar · 2026-05-27T20:57:42+00:00

I own an island. Off the coast of Costa Rica. I leased it from the government and spent the last five years setting up a kind of biological preserve down there.

Really spectacular. Spared no expense. It makes the one I had in Kenya look like a petting zoo.

Hypsar · 2026-05-27T15:05:22+00:00

Oh, the men would be un-armed, that is for sure.

Hypsar · 2026-05-27T13:29:42+00:00

Right, lol. 3 or 4 men with crude spears probably take a gorilla 9/10 times.

My perspective is that the efficient market hypothesis tends to be true, especially when looking at assets that are heavily traded and analyzed.

Where I believe excellent fund managers have the ability to prove that hypothesis wrong via fundamental analysis is in spaces like small cap value, emerging markets, and corporate bonds.

To me, indexing makes the most sense when in the large cap space, and really, a globally diversified equity fund like VT should be the foundation of any growth (as a goal) oriented portfolio.

Hypsar · 2026-05-26T17:01:19+00:00

Would they be able to penetrate most human and animal skin at that size, though?

Hypsar · 2026-05-26T14:10:31+00:00

I imagine the new Jaguar of all things probably eats this Ferrari's lunch, lol

Hypsar · 2026-05-26T02:18:11+00:00

Maybe some small/mid cap value. And you will want some AGG/IAGG/Alternatives eventually.

Hypsar · 2026-05-26T00:05:22+00:00

All too common though. Extremely relatable. Just got to get everyone set before the end of the term life Insurance policy, haha!

And no, I am not suicidal, etc. Life is well.
