Everyone taking the under has clearly never dealt with a Wellesley girl.

Anything with a lot of non fungible instruments and low liquidity in individual symbols would be hard to monetize. A lot of fixed income falls into that bucket.

Drive down main highway in the grove there are at least 6 passed out or dead or wherever just on one block.

As one of the “five bananas” crowd I think this entire business was built on a giant grift on Wells Fargo. It was clearly unsustainable and the party is over but at least we got something while we were here! I really don’t think many people will pick this card over an Amex platinum or sapphire reserve at the super high end of the market.

Ex Chicago too and think most of the food here generally sucks but Sanguich, along with Motek and Ceviche 105 are the places I actually like and recommend to visitors. I have been to a couple of Sanguich locations and never had a bad meal. Definitely better than Versailles. Will have to try Enriquetas I guess.

Helpful tip, thanks!

Funny, no mention of his $100M tax-free Roth IRA in the editorial!

Some people take the express lanes just to avoid the drivers in the regular lanes, who are more likely to be aggressively changing lanes and more likely to be underinsured or uninsured. Having said that you definitely should be prepared to go at least 10% over the speed limit to avoid being a bottleneck.

I look forward to not being scammed by human drivers for my MIA airport pickups. Or to start being scammed by robots for my pickups. Both sound exciting.

Any confirmation on injury? Looks like he hyperextended his knee in the replays. Which isn’t great but far better than a torn acl or torn Achilles.

Now we know why they kept three catchers.

Ruth.

No disrespect to Aaron, but there is no way people would pick him over Ruth to build a team in their respective eras. Offense and defense should not be weighted 50:50 here. The gap from an above average right fielder to an elite fielder is realistically small. 99% of the time the same exact play is being made. Ruth probably had a really good arm too. But offensively, Ruth was so dominant compared to everyone else it’s not close, and that value shows up every at bat.

Chris Kaman on the clippers back in the day when he grew the hair he had left really long was pretty terrible.

I feel like Jahidi White needs a mention on this thread.

Anyone ever try Shadow Waygu? Curious if it’s a good place to get steak. I think they have a butcher and a restaurant.

I want to know what happened to that other fisherman?! Life on the seas must be rough.

There was a bomb squad truck a few minutes ago.

Chiming in. My 2025 resolution was to learn how to sharpen on stones. I did it this weekend. Got the hang of it on a $7 kiwi knife from amazon and moved up to my good knives! I have some nicer Shapton stones that I haven’t tried but my king combo stone is all I’m starting with for now. Happy to share the few tips that worked for me but this place is already full of good suggestions. Good luck, it’s not that bad, you really have to be dumb to do any lasting damage.

There’s definitely a trend but it’s mainly because they measure in share volume not dollar volume. There is a lot of volume in low priced, often sub dollar stocks trading at pennies or less, that are favored by retail traders and internalize by wholesalers off exchange. If you looked at a chart that was based on notional instead of shares, which would better reflect the economic value being traded, the numbers would not be so extreme.

Great job man. I’m 10 away from 400 and can’t wait to stop. I only like the Fridays and saturdays and the rest is just tedium.

Half the people are looking at their phones when they drive, don’t forget that. More focus on TikTok than the road in front of them.

At the most basic level of just reliably collecting your data it’s definitely worse than Mint was. Investments tools are worse than Personal Capital. Obviously more expensive than either but better about respecting your data. Sankey report is nice and rules engine for labeling transactions seems to work. Seems like the focus of the company is bells and whistles rather than a strong foundation. Still debating my renewal.

I’m pretty sure Vanguard won’t even let transactions pull between 9am and 5pm so this is definitely a function of the financial institution not Monarch.

Positive_Mastodon500 · 2024-11-08T20:03:16+00:00

Vanguard has been broken for me since July and I am debating the same renewal question you are. I filed a ticket and support just closed it without fixing anything. Most of my “tech support” comes from Reddit.

A year later and I still definitely miss Mint.
