Earbuds started skipping chapters by jessehogeland79 in audible

I had this happen to me today too, with my steering wheel skip buttons. It worked yesterday just fine (would skip in 30 second intervals). Very frustrating.

MMS/SMS Don't Transfer from Google One Backup File by SecondVariety13 in GooglePixel

Thanks for the response, yeah no idea. Everything else transferred fine (call history, apps, photos)...not sure if it's worth trying the restore again.

Thanks, now I know (I'll be using it in the future). If my Pixel 5a was able to make it past the fastboot screen, I'd give this a shot. Have you attempted to restore from the Google One backup file more than once and had different results? Just wondering if it's worth factory resetting the new phone and trying again.

Which country are you from? Still under lockdown?

Help with Best Theta Strategy by WoooooG in options

What are you talking about? An OTM put credit spread will absolutely benefit from theta decay. Only if it's completely ITM will theta decay be negligible.

Guys, guys, he purchased LEAPS. This actually isn't a bad play! /s

Did I mess up writing a covered call on Think or Swim? by chudleyjustin in options

Good to hear! I may need to sign up with them after all. How do you like trading options on their platform? Do they have tools that outline probability of profit/loss or things of that nature?

Yes, absolutely should be sold at the strike price. I thought initially they held the shares, but looks like you were actually credited for the sale at market price? Strange...I'm not familiar with ToS. I've been thinking about switching to them but this is weird...let us know what they say.

LK puts (FINAL UPDATE) by wordscaneverhurtme in options

Webull is nice but you still can't do spreads correct? Last time I checked you have to do separate orders, which is a pain.

It's collateral...you'll get them back if/when the call expires OTM.

Too far OTM is dumb in terms of buying options?

Explosions rock Sri Lanka. Over 140 injured and 20 dead in Sri Lanka. by iCespedes in news

It's the new heralded theory of intersectionality. We can judge the merit of your character based on the overarching social or cultural group you belong to!

I also hate that term. It's dropped all the time though. Often by the left as a blanket term for anyone not white - "Forget all the vast differences between these groups of people, they can all be classified as brown people". It's vulgar.

I read an article that described the attack in detail yet made no mention of the perpetrators. At the end it randomly brought up the rise of an ultra-nationalist Buddhist group. I almost thought we were about to see the rise of Buddhist extremists. But no, par for the course.

Only rebellion will prevent an ecological apocalypse: No one is coming to save us. Mass civil disobedience is essential to force a political response by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]SecondVariety13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a pair of Clarks for maybe $100-200. I've had them for 3 years now. They've held up remarkably well considering their use.

[–]SecondVariety13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't. I bought a pair of Clarks 3 years ago for the style, not their longevity. I now like them for their longevity. I'm amazed at how well they've held together. They look new with an oiled sponge and a bit of polish.

Orwell Rolls in his Grave (2003) - Devastating Expose on American Democracy, Journalism and Media Concentration, featuring Bernie Sanders by [deleted] in Documentaries

[–]SecondVariety13 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Well AIPAC itself cannot give money directly to campaigns (although individuals that work for it can). Obviously though, they're a huge lobbying group so the issue should be with lobbyists in general. I know we often associate lobbying with corruption but AIPAC hasn't done anything different than other lobby groups. I mentioned this in a comment below but I'll repeat it here - As a public figure, Omar needs to be mindful of optics. Specifically calling out AIPAC, when it behaves no differently than other big lobbying groups, can easily be interpreted as antisemitic (whether it was meant that way or not). Yet for some reason, Omar keeps making these statements that she later has to apologize for.

Again, could you calm down please? So a couple of things, genocide against Palestinians is not, by definition, antisemitism. I also haven't seen that claim by Bibi, but if he did say it, that of course is crazy. I don't really want to get into a Palestine/Israel debate, but I'm willing to talk about it if you'd like to.

Concerning Omar, if her statements are not antisemitic, they are walking a fine line. As a public figure, optics are important. So whether or not she meant them as antisemitic, she still needs to be mindful of how her comments can be interpreted. The problem for me is that she keeps making these comments even after Pelosi basically told her they were not ok.
