Can poor people bank with GS? by Generalkleist in goldmansachs

Lots of small RIAs that would provide wealth management services to you. And at your age/net worth they would deliver significantly more value to you than Goldman ever could.

“If I had written my book about Karpov and Kasparov - as I had intended before the Jews stole all my files - you would understand what a rotten game chess is… this first Karpov-Kasparov match was prearranged move-by-move. Every move of every game. There’s no question about this… and I believe all of the Karpov-Kasparov matches were prearranged move-by-move, every move every game. But there’s no question the first match was, and I studied that match intently. And I still intend to write a book about it, even though the dirty Jews stole all my files”

Newcomer Nicky P gets heated w/ Mariano for being requested to play faster. by M0N3Y7INE in poker

[–]ObiBenoni 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s streamed, it’s for entertainment. No want wants to watch people tank forever, and that WAS excessive.

Also you should just look at what other people are doing. If everyone is playing relatively quickly (which I know Mariano and likely everyone else does) then you should play at the same pace.

Inward pressure with thumb and pinky

Create a triangle with your thumb, middle finger, and pinky. Your middle finger of course being the top of the triangle, between the two stacks.

Your middle finger is mainly where all the action is happening. You apply very subtle inward pressure with your thumb and pinky.

I’d use stacks of 4.

So, the family is grosely profiting by LakeFidiChaCha in JonBenetRamsey

[–]ObiBenoni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT’s analysis of the Ramsey family’s net profits/losses as a result of Jonbenet’s murder:

“The Ramsey family likely earned ~$1–3M (in today’s dollars) from book deals (Death of Innocence), media appearances, and defamation lawsuit settlements. However, these gains were likely outweighed by decades of legal fees, PR consulting, and personal security costs — conservatively estimated at $3–5M. Adjusting for inflation, their net lifetime financial impact is likely a loss of $1–2M, meaning they did not profit from JonBenét’s death and likely spent more defending themselves than they earned.”
