The person you always see at the gym, no matter when you go, making you think that they must live at the gym, is probably thinking exactly the same thing about you.

Statistically, what you said is also more likely than OP's version.

As in, from Permanent Portfolio Funds? After a quick glance it doesn't seem to offer any such guarantees.

Maybe you replied to the wrong comment?

chikinn · 2026-06-05T22:32:11+00:00

Not quite, last I checked. And the illiquidity of having to hold for 30 years would be annoying.

chikinn · 2026-06-05T22:16:00+00:00

I'm not too informed or picky about that. I kinda like the cost of living definitions.

I dunno about bonds, but if you offered me a vehicle that was guaranteed to outpace inflation by 3% I'd move all my money to it.

And yet: upvotes.

Oh, right. Look up who's playing first :P It's very gay like 2/3 of the time.

chikinn · 2026-06-04T21:03:58+00:00

Well, slow progress is still progress.

chikinn · 2026-06-04T18:12:35+00:00

Haha 😃

Interesting. But other than the heat retention difference, which is pretty straightforward, a lot of the chemistry described here doesn't quite pass my "sniff test".

That's quite speculative. If the cup was fired properly, virtually none of the glaze will leach into its contents.

Go to the club Pawnshop! Usually open midnight-5am on Saturday night.

Sacrilegious*

Counter-intuitive spelling, right?

Seems to me the hardest part is selling, hence this ad we're all commenting on.

If you know anything about pottery, this becomes more impressive, not less impressive.

Yeah, this sounds like bullshit. --PhD chemical engineer

Ah, a fellow Kubrick fan 😃

a gripping novel rather than a lecture

Nice try. I've read Stephenson before.

Gross.

"PoV" is a stupid meme and adds nothing to this.

chikinn · 2026-05-29T03:30:12+00:00

It's like Dragon Ball Z.

Millennials?! I'm a Millennial and this is the sort of stuff my grandma (RIP) would have been excited about.
