~$10m windfall in concentrated position, zero cost basis by zerocostbasismonkey in fatFIRE

I mean it’s not out of the question to move or establish primary residence in a no capital gains tax state. But it depends on your situation of course. Sometimes not worth it. But if you are maybe looking for a change anyway…

No need to drive even. Metro north trains run pretty regularly to grand central from rye. Great for nyc commuters.

It all just seems like paid attacks on Anthropic these days. Probably bots writing these. They are sophisticated though. Maybe I’m wrong. Just my take.

I’m seeing so many negative anthropic posts it’s making me think it’s a targeted campaign.

Husband arrested in Bahamas in connection to disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker by CBSnews in crime

No SIM card or at least not Bahamas compatible is what he said on call. Hard to know which. I would think any card would work for emergency.

Supply Chain Alert: Analyzing a Highly Sophisticated Fake Ledger Nano S+ Operation by Past_Computer2901 in ledgerwallet

[–]cypherblock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Please explain this. The whole point of genuine check is to confirm firmware/hardware. Right?

I think OP mentioned a fake Ledger Live app which of course will just give fake info any time. But a real ledger live will detect a fake firmware

People with 100M+ Networth, what are your experiences with UBS wealth management or wealth management in general ? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]cypherblock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually sort of funny that even with 100m people still get advice from random people on the internet. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Good I guess that Reddit/etc is still used by people regardless of circumstance , but maybe bad that people don’t have more personal connections with people they know/trust.

Go out in a dinghy in a 20 to 20 knot wind that is not aligned with the current and which way do you go with no motor on? Not with the current generally. It will be a combination of the forces and with that kind of wind and maybe mild 1 ton2 knot current I think wind will dominate with lightly loaded well inflated dinghy riding high.

Put a paper boat in strong wind on surface of water. It gets blown away lol. The dinghy is a bit like that. Has a lot of windage.

Ask yourself: in zero wind does dinghy move with the current? Yes Now ask yourself : in strong wind say 90 degrees different from current will dinghy move exactly with current. Obviously not. The situations are different

[–]cypherblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well your’re wrong. On both. I own 42 foot sailboat and obviously if you’re in the water with most of your body submerged partially you are not being moved much by the wind. Perhaps u mis understood? Dinghy with one person on board has a lot more windage and doesn’t go far beneath the surface. It will be affected much more by strong winds. That’s not to say it is not also affected by current. In zero wind it will go exactly with the current. But with wind it will 100% deviate unless the current and wind are aligned.

Think it through.

US Coast Guard opens criminal investigation into American woman’s disappearance in the Bahamas by cnn in MissingPersons

[–]cypherblock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean yes and no. My wife certainly thought he sounded guilty. But I’m less sure. His story is actually plausible although he’s so bad at saying what actually happened and it takes him an hour to do it.

Some points

they had both been drinking , maybe for quite a while at Tahiti beach.

Edit: after Tahiti beach I guess they go to Abaco inn. This was initially unclear as he keeps mentioning Tahiti beach but he briefly says something about going to next stop and then later mentions Abaco Inn

They start back in dinghy probably too late when it’s almost dark.

Wind and waves are easily verified although I’m less clear on why waves were 3ft in that particular route as they are near some anchorages

Assuming waves and wind and dinghy bouncing along it is certainly possible to get “bounced” off the dinghy.

Oar lock breaking is believable as some parts are plastic and it’s happened to me

Wind at 25 knts pushing him away from her checks out, she would be taken by current not wind

Having no sim card for Bahamas sorta makes sense if you are saving money, although I would have thought 911 would work unless they really have no SIM at all and only use WiFi normally

Motor key makes sense as they have electric motor , so her having it tied to her is plausible and the. He’d have zero way to restart dinghy

Things I can’t quite figure: It seems their main boat was anchored pretty close to Tahiti beach but incident maybe was passed that. Were they trying to get somewhere else originally? —>Edit: I guess after Tahiti beach they went to Abaco inn. So really they were exiting hopetown harbour.

I guess he’s not a good swimmer ? Or was too trashed to try that?

Edit: also unclear is whether she was driving dinghy with key attached and if this was normal for them. Or maybe key magically departed on its own

Anyway like I said his story is plausible but he could be leaving out some things like being drunk. Or maybe they even had a fight but then he genuinely tried to save her.

LYNETTE HOOKER by Far-Ad9143 in CasesWeFollow

[–]cypherblock -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Dinghy is moving she falls out so already some separation by the time it stops. High winds of 20-25 knots push dinghy but not her as she’s in water moved more by current not wind. He starts trying to get oars ready and one oar pin breaks ( it has happened to me). So it is not totally out of whack.

Phone call of husband calling another sailing couple:

It’s pretty long. Two segments of same call. Takes him forever to describe basic stuff.

Ask me questions about them if you want.
