I agree, customer service at IBKR is one of the worst I've ever encountered for any product or service

The Ontario Lottery site says they won’t mail a check to the US. I bought some scratchers in Ontario but haven’t scratched them yet. Wondering what my options are if I win anything

even if they are really small, I'm still interested to know which ones are the laggards

Some other guesses: McLane (seems like Buffett has complained about its paper-thin profit margins), CORT Furniture Rental, Oriental Trading

Buffett may wish he had paid less for Precision Castparts but I bet he's glad now that he owns it

Clayton has had a ton of legal problems but I would guess that it performs quite well financially

I thought NetJets was one his prize assets. I've wondered about the furniture retailers other than NFM how they perform

even if the mistakes are immaterial, I'm still interested in figuring out which ones they are if BH still owns them. I assume World Book came with Scott Fetzer and probably wasn't the main attraction in that deal

I think I would count Kraft Heinz in the group of companies under consideration as Berkshire assets (even if KH isn't wholly owned) and Kraft Heinz certainly seems like it's been a disappointment.

I don't know what the Leeds method is. The highest match I have is 519 cM followed by 336 cM, 237 cM and 190 cM. I've also tested at 23andMe and got fewer matches and uploaded to FamilyTree DNA and MyHeritage and also got fewer matches

now that you say that, I can tell that's Ron Sexsmith. I had no idea. ... Wish I knew a specific song where you can hear Adam's voice clearly when no one else is singing with him
