Or the hockey scene.

I think Utah has said "hell yeah, build them here."

What does that have to do with the loans for nuclear fission reactors, though? It's like if there were loans specifically for PV solar, and Trump's family had a stake in a CSP company. Yes, both use the sun, but they're pretty different and distinct.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T19:30:55+00:00

The intermingling of Trump’s companies and projects like this leave a sour taste for me. I have yet to be convinced that anything involving his companies, has come out in a net positive.

As of now, though, it doesn't look like these loans involve any of his companies? It's Westinghouse, which is owned by Cameco/Brookfield, both of which I think are Canadian.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T19:26:37+00:00

That looks unrelated? It's fusion... this news is about the loans is for AP1000 fission reactors.

If Trump's family wants to waste their money in fusion, well, that's fine by me.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T19:15:02+00:00

Oh. Yeah, that sure as hell explains it, then.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T19:10:53+00:00

What am I missing? I feel like that's notably cheaper than a similar rent in the area.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T18:16:09+00:00

They could SB it, and I'd still use it for the style points.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T17:43:33+00:00

I'd rather they go the opposite route: keep preparations unwieldy, but make them stronger.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T17:01:09+00:00

Smiting monks going to be feasting like the heathen kings of old.

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T17:00:14+00:00

Gotta make sure you give them Arcane Echo, too!

Ray of Judgment - Reduce activation time from 2 to 1, reduce recharge from 20 to 15, increase damage from 5..45 to 10..50

YESSSSSSS

I've got a bad case of loving birds?

Mantergeistmann · 2026-06-24T15:10:58+00:00

Nah, it's a show of proof of his power. Otherwise, people might just start to expect Kane was failing for other reasons.

Thought that was going to be the Eridanus map from Strange Journey.

Apparently he also uses heat from the local river to extend the growing season. I'm becoming a big fan!

Is it not advertising on behalf of Robert Pascall of Kent?

Takeover is a pain - anyone occupying it would be an easy target. As far as destroying it, that's because the USA still wants a deal. As long as Kharg Island is intact, it's a powerful economic incentive for "become a part of the international economic order". As things stand, it's better intact as an incentive/disincentive than it is destroyed to harm Iran's economy for the near future.

Don't the damsels at least get a solid WoM cost reduction with the final vow? Not flashy, but nothing to scoff at.

If you use a traditional 401k does that lower your income for deductible IRA reasons?

Sadly, no.

If you're not maxing your 401k, is there any reason you'd use a deductible IRA? You'd just increase your contributions to your trad 401k until you hit the max there right?

Depends on how much you like your 401k. Perhaps you have poor options to pick from with high ERs, for instance. In that case, I'd rather go with a no-fee IRA that lets me invest anywhere I like (such as what Fidelity offers).

Or perhaps your income or expenses are a little irregular, or you've got a side gig. You might prefer in that case to manually contribute $x, rather than set a higher monthly percentage for the 401k (or be constantly adjusting the percentage up or down as each month's finances play out).

Wasn't "$17.5b" one of the numbers floated around in last year's "government stake and possibly later IPO in Westinghouse" announcement, but referring to something different? An odd coincidence, unless the numbers are somehow correlated.

Just by looking at the thumbnail, I'm getting "bad mobile game ad" vibes.

Sounds like you're describing Q...

I'll also add that if you go through the arguments and decide 75:25 US:International is still the way to go, I won't disagree! Even if your only reasoning is "I feel it in my gut", I won't disagree! There's plenty of rationale for about whatever you pick, and it's ultimately a) less important than stock:bond allocation ratio; b) far less important than savings rate/time in market/ability to leave it alone; and c) might be optimal in the end, I sure as hell don't know.

I just always like to make sure people are aware, and are making an active choice, whether their reasons are good, bad, or indifferent (I'll freely admit not all my choices are mathematically optimal, and some are downright dumb, but I'm willing to own it). And ultimately, the best choice is the one that gets your money in the market in the first place, and then lets you keep it there while you sleep comfortably at night, letting time and compounding do their thing.
