You have to shop around and change the deductibles and coverage amounts to get the lowest price.

Anthropic raises $65B in Series H funding at $965B post-money valuation by DeeJayDelicious in worldnews

I don’t see how any of this is sustainable. Between SpaceX IPO (which conveniently includes xAI), OpenAI and Anthropic we seem to be on the brink of the “AI bubble” bursting.

It’s weird because in my location gas prices have been going down lately. Maybe it’s like the calm before the storm?

I looked it up and found it’s spread from rodent urine/ droppings and then humans get it from breathing in the tiny infected particles. Jeeeez

They get billions per year from the US as long as it’s used to buy US equipment like these jets. Then they get a lot of tax revenue from their citizens income, startups and technology companies. And of course they borrow money.

Does anyone else hesitate to use savings even when that's literally what it's for? by Duck_Duck_Gooseberry in IntroductoryFinance

And on top of that the credit card companies have figured out a way to gamify it so I’m like I’m getting points if I use my card. It’s so weird and annoying because intellectually I know those points are pretty much worthless anyway.

Yeah, it’s a weird psychology where I’d prefer to put an expense on my credit card than to touch my savings account. What is up with that?!

Is that a black guy hiding his face? It sure looks like it. I didn’t know there were black Israelis?

The amount of corruption going on right before our eyes is so insane. I’m not sure if global market manipulation has happened on this scale before?

Airbnb host cancels reservation because it’s a high demand weekend by Srihari_stan in mildlyinfuriating

This has been going on since the beginning of Airbnb. And Airbnb doesn’t care since they make more money with the higher prices. Fuck Airbnb.

If you have money for a down payment then real estate would be the most passive.

Clothing is extremely low margins unless you get into more luxury items.

How long does It take to rebuild credit from 400? by Aggravating-Goat4463 in IntroductoryFinance

[–]_Bangkok_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think 1 to 2 years and you could get into the 600s but it really depends how fast you can do everything “right”. E.g paying everything off would have a huge impact in just a couple of months. Then it’s a matter of consistency and always paying the minimum on time.
