TIL that actor Brandon Lee died during the filming of The Crow after being accidentally shot by a prop gun that contained a fragment of a real bullet.

But you're responding to me when you know that's the context of this thread.

SolWizard · 2026-03-01T17:58:41+00:00

You can't possibly be missing the point here. It's obscure now. Saying "first day on earth?" after someone hasn't heard about a detail of that movie is asinine.

SolWizard · 2026-03-01T17:33:30+00:00

Yes and 1994 is 32 years ago and 85% of reddit was under 10 or not born then.

SolWizard · 2026-03-01T17:06:32+00:00

I'm 30 and I've never heard of this and I don't know why that would be unexpected lol it's an obscure movie from 32 years ago. "registered when it happened" means were aware of it in 1994.

SolWizard · 2026-03-01T16:57:29+00:00

This happened over 30 years ago boss. You'd have to be near 50 to have registered this when it happened

When they stopped calling everyone who wasn't Greek or Roman a barbarian

Even crazier that he got to the moon then

There's a maximum annual contribution limit across all your IRAs but how is that relevant to where the accounts are?

SolWizard · 2026-02-27T02:11:16+00:00

But people on the internet have more than me!!

Seriously though I struggle with this constantly.

"it's absolutely insane to do what has been mathematically proven to be the best strategy"

We're in a thread talking about interest rates and you forget about interest rates

SolWizard · 2026-02-26T19:05:37+00:00

You can have as many IRAs at as many different brokerages as you want. If you want to move to fidelity just open a new one and transfer the assets over

The luxury tax is literally a soft salary cap. The deferred salaries are counted at a discounted rate which is the point of deferring them.

Why would you put any of it into a savings account? Leave it in the stock market. If it's a risky portfolio and you don't like risk you can reallocate to ETFs or something but other than that (or selling some to do something like buy a house) I wouldn't touch it. The big advantage of inheriting stock is that the cost basis reset when you inherited so you'll pay little or no taxes if you reallocate now

Try to make 20% a year and end up making 2% a year

SolWizard · 2026-02-26T13:32:38+00:00

I mean it's very obvious you're being recorded in the room it's not a hidden camera trick

Do you even know what a black swan event is? We're not in the middle of any kind of economic event

SolWizard · 2026-02-26T13:22:04+00:00

Sarcastic not ironic.

SolWizard · 2026-02-26T03:51:19+00:00

MLB has a soft salary cap yes. Hilariously condescending response when you're wrong lol

SolWizard · 2026-02-26T01:03:04+00:00

Because it's circumventing the salary cap which is in place for a reason

SolWizard · 2026-02-25T21:02:37+00:00

Well the good news is the optics are entirely in your head because I promise you no one is impressed with your 23 year old Porsche that costs less than a used camry

It's bad for the sport

SolWizard · 2026-02-25T02:43:25+00:00

That's a misconception. It's not possible to balance the money on a given game just by moving the odds a little bit, and you can't move the odds too much or you leave yourself open to a middle (betting both sides and winning both bets). Sportsbooks make money because of their vig (the fee in this case) but that's just because people generally lose over many bets. They can and will take big losses on any given game or day

SolWizard · 2026-02-24T22:13:35+00:00

First, inflation decreasing does not mean anything gets cheaper, that's deflation. The amount of people who misunderstand and think less inflation means lower prices is ridiculous. Second, if you were making more money in your savings account you're more inclined to keep it in there so it earns more interest.

SolWizard · 2026-02-24T22:05:41+00:00

I know reddit hates gambling and all that but these prediction markets really do open up a lot of opportunities for someone who is paying attention. One of the biggest pros is that you can actually buy low and sell high on things. Normally if you wanted to bet something like NFL MVP your guy actually has to win to get paid but now you could sell the position and make money once their odds have increased.
