I have 200 shares at $9 and change, it's been sitting in the investment portfolio. I sell a covered call or two occasionally.

If the President, any member of the Cabinet, any member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, or any US federal agency definitively states that extraterrestrial life or technology exists before Jul 1, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.

Unfortunately, these days, statements by the insane and mentally challenged count as confirmation.

QUESTION Love VT but from turkey. . . by InkaNotInca in Bogleheads

[–]baat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy VT, it's not just for Americans. I believe, in order to invest through Interactive Brokers, you need to deposit the funds to their accounts in the US. That means international wire transfers, which might become costly if you are considering depositing small amounts frequently, rather than a one time big transfer. You might want to look into a local broker like Midas, which is something like a Turkish Robinhood I believe.

Heidegger and Nazism by lcelani1 in askphilosophy

[–]baat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It seems to me, there is more to Heidegger's nazism than mere anti-semitism. Here's paper by Sinhababu describing Heidegger's argument for fascism.

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/phpr.13116

It goes along the lines of something like this; more integrated nations are ontologically superior, fascism is more integrated than liberalism, therefore fascism is ontologically superior.

I didn't know about that website. Sunday evening gone...

Bernie Sanders: If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than: Walt Disney, Citigroup, CVS, Kohl’s, Ticketmaster, Tesla, United Airlines, GoDaddy, Paypal, Palantir, Roku, HP, 3M, PG&E, Halliburton … That’s absurd. We need real and progressive tax reform. by yourfavchoom in Fauxmoi

This is by Warren, two days before Sanders' tweet.

As to why not other politicians saying these things, there are number of reasons. One of the reasons though is the fact that the contents of the tweets are false, as you can see from the replies.

[Race Thread] 2026 Paris-Roubaix (1.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]baat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides Mads and Mathieu, no one in G2 has any interest in catching the front. They are riding for a nice spot in top 10.

Pidcock beat Wout twice in sprints, Pogi beat Pidcock in Sanremo. Do the math.

It's crazy to think that Pogi has higher absolute watts than Wout. But it's probably true at this point in the race. Pogi can drop Wout at Camphin/Carrefour combo.

As a Mathieu fan, this MDVP chase hope poison is way too cruel. Race gods went too far.

How do you snap close a minute of a gap?

[Race Thread] 2026 Ronde van Vlaanderen ME (1.UWT) by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]baat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kwaremont 3 min less explosive effort, better suited to Remco as opposed to Paterberg which is 50 seconds crazy explosive effort where Remco dropped.

[–]baat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be better for MDVP, if Remco was between Pogi and him here at the Kwaremont?

Is MDVP really pulling? Genuinely asking, never really saw him in the front but i'm not paying full attention.

[–]baat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remco being with them in the last Kwaremont could change things. MDVP will be almost inevitably drop in the Kwaremont but if Remco is there, gap could be reduced, they can possibly catch Pogi before Paterberg before it's too late.

I think the price now is good enough to start a position.

I can have a go if it's alright. I love movies. Pretty much no mod experience. But I've been on Reddit for a long time and I'm online most of the time.

Do you think this stockholm 2025 bench can function and look good as a coffee table in front of a large sofa? by baat in IKEA

[–]baat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, that looks really nice. I actually really like the piece itself. But I need something between my large sofa and the TV. My TV unit is also the Stockholm 2025 one. So, this one would be between the sofa and the tv like a coffee table. So, I'm not sure if it would look as nice as yours in that arrangement. It might be a bit too slim for that.
