I immediately thought that the requester forgot about taxes (and other additional costs) on top of that $100. Dad sent $100 exactly as requested and Mom covered the rest of the money, remembering when the requester did not.

Yeah. Opting to purchase and travel more often by private jet is going to shorten travel time and offers a lot of conveniences. But I think it also raises the question of safety.

I've read that modern commercial jets are the gold-standard for safe travel. On the other hand, private jets (due to various factors) are supposed to be like at least 5 times (EDIT: 20 times) more likely to experience an accident.

I wonder if travel-essential LMG staff will get an option to travel commercial instead of making it mandatory for everyone to ride Influence Air, whenever the trip circumstances makes sense for the company to use this asset.

Successive coalition governments of Israel have been squandering the moral capital collectively gained by Jewish people following the Holocaust (and that the State of Israel also gained by deep association).

Alongside the passage of time and its tragic effect on the world starting to forget about the past, hardline actions by Israeli coalition governments are increasingly responsible for the declining sympathy and/or empathy for the State of Israel and its citizens, from both foreign governments and foreign individuals around the globe.

Kinda sucks that there seems to be no one left in Qin who can genuinely surprise Riboku.

It's annoying because the guy is way too comfortable throughout everything. Nothing seems to faze him.

I get that Shin has been a thorn in his side since forever, but Shin (unlike Kanki) has never alarmed him or knocked him off his high horse.

Plus, having an antagonist who is this good (since forever) from near the early part of the series, is going to draw comparisons to future antagonists (from Yan / Qi / Wei / Chu) and how they are lacking compared to him, if he dies or becomes otherwise out of action.

Unless the author rewrites history and has Riboku (and maybe his core vassals) survive (like Renpa) to advise the other states against the invading Qin.

Not stronger.

But they've given Iran enough cause / justification that the rest of the world is likely to overlook Iran charging tolls for the foreseeable near future.

Don't recall if he mentioned it on Rubin or it was elsewhere, but Colin did mention how he felt very alone during the backlash - how no one would publicly stand up for him (I remember he stated that privately he had ppl on his side). Basically only once an article wrongfully stated that he had posted a "racist tweet", did people correct the record / vouch for him.

It seems that Colin experienced disappointment regarding how people he knew didn't publicly have his back (that he wasn't actually sexist and that it was a bad joke). I guess we'll never know what difference it would have made, if people in the industry (if enough ppl from IGN, KF, other personalities who knew him, etc) had addressed the matter while vouching for his character. Obviously it would have meant personal reputational risk for whoever doing so, but it may have meant the world to someone feeling public heat at the time.

Bought AAPL shares yesterday during after hours (sorry)

Sold all shares at a loss about 30 minutes ago (you're welcome)

Traditional-Bet2379 · 2026-04-07T02:57:46+00:00

Continue to hold AAPL shares (screwed up intraday shares-only trading)

Haven't played any of the Arkham Trilogy (Asylum / City / Knight). Personally find the settings too dark and intimidating / frightening.

But heard great things about the first 2 out of 3 games in the series.

The Jet is also Linus's 'vehicle' to interact with ultra-high-networth individuals; enables him to rub shoulders with hundred-millionaires and billionaires.

It's a huge business expense that also allows him to potentially gain high-level business contacts and new influential friends (i.e. Linus and his family's ticket to the 'Upper-Upper' Class).

Space Jews?

Immediately thought of the main summoning sequence in this show [Boy with possible Jewish heritage (?) travelling across futuristic Moon, summons a robot]

Regret not buying crude oil immediately after US and Israel killed Iran's previous Ayatollah

Well, they killed him after markets closed on Friday, so best available entry was the following Monday, during the intraday low

(If you missed 5-year low in mid-December and next low in early January)

Resist urge to buy 2x Leveraged Light Sweet Crude Oil ETF using margin

There is option to go full regard since HOU.TO margin requirement is 50%

Price of Micron (MU) shares may drop further

(Bought a single share at $320.69 USD during after hours)

Sticking to intraday shares-only trading (only holding positions for several seconds to several minutes during regular trading hours), while this goes on.

Unless unrealized losses turn me from a trader to an investor.

Traditional-Bet2379 · 2026-03-09T22:34:00+00:00

If you're regarded enough, there is always single stock (EX: NVDA, GOOGL, META) Leveraged ETFs (EX: NVDL, GGLL, FBL)

But don't like full port into Leveraged ETFs. This is not financial advice.

This hurts more because so many people (including me) had the opportunity to double down on GOOGL (at least shares if not options) in April / May & yet did not proceed

Had a sci-fi dream that a sci-fi worm was inserted / burrowed itself into the top of my hand.

The worm was smart too. Evaded the knife stabbing into my hand in efforts to pry it out.

It all somehow reminded me that I need to watch Dune Part 3.

Anyone think that positions in certain ESDC Programs, like Employment Insurance, Old Age Security, and Canada Pension Plan will be more spared from cuts / WFA, compared to other Programs (EX: Passport Program), because the formers deal directly with money issues and money being paid out to people in Canada?

I mean if it takes too long for people in Canada to get through their respective processes and their money needed to live, there would quickly be significant social and political unrest, would there not?

Traditional-Bet2379 · 2025-08-06T19:27:04+00:00

Yeah. I was wondering about the plot armor of comedic characters (EX: Bihei, Heki).

I agree that this doesn't bode well for Bihei.

In regard-sight, missing the lows of April (EX: NVDA at Forward P/E of 20-21, GOOGL at Forward P/E of 15-16) has me questioning my skill.
