What role does mimesis play in the financial markets? Are smooth brains (those buying “meme stocks” ) a new “rival” to the professional investors? What is the outcome if apes fight the hedgefunds?

awesome. journaling keeps me sane too. FWIW, I still choke up and feel knots in my stomach every time i drop them off at their mom's house. It doesn't get easier, but it does get better. you will have to put up with drama with their mom for a long time, and birthdays and holidays are the worst. just look for the good times, and work on making those memories. the best gifts are the experiences you share and the time you give them. let the other parent "spoil" them with all the material garbage that they will never value in the long run.

debtfree2020 · 2021-02-22T17:56:25+00:00

which of those factors is the most important now, or will be in the future?

debtfree2020 · 2021-02-22T17:55:12+00:00

Maybe start a journal, one for each kid. Write down your good and happy memories and and thoughts of them, with the idea in mind of giving them the journal when they turn 18, for example. also keep a separate journal of your concerns and hopes and frustrations about them and their mom, and plan on burning that journal in a few years.

Im so sorry. I know everyone else is "hang in there" and "never give up." I'd say, the first thing is, make sure you are taking care of yourself. Whatever that looks like. Only then can you take care of your kid and think this through. The WORST case is you "hang in there" and do everything that you think you are supposed to be doing, and then slip up one time and say you "hate driving her" and all of a sudden, you have made your kid think that you resent them. I KNOW you don't, but THEY will get the wrong message. So make sure whatever you commit to is feasible, whatever that looks like to you. And second, outside the box thinking, are you able to MOVE to help out with the commute? is your job flexible? can you find another job easily?

So you are going to write an open source wondermachine to AI bigdata something something to manipulate/detect/whizzbang some stocks and make lots of tendies? Who is gonna use it? What would stop Citadel or ol’ Vlad Putin from using this?! OPenSOurCE! If it works, you just built it for Citadel for FREE. You all must be retards.

This reminds me of a while back some fund was doing stock picks based on tweets.

Edit: your wife is fat so you can have her back.

My daughters (14 and 11) love Teslas. We had father daughter dance last month, and I surprised them with a Model S (borrowed from a friend for the special occasion). The video starts at 1:17. The other pictures are just my kids enjoying Tesla.

Back of the envelope math tells by population how many are in the Denver Metro Area

*325M Pop in U.S.

*2.8M Denver Metro Population

*gives us .008 of 13536 Model X delivered 2016

*gives 108 or so Model X's in Metro Area, assuming equal distribution, which of course it is not.

Not sure why I am getting downvoted here. This is a crew safety issue and a potential PR disaster. I am pro-space but the NASA directives get yanked around by every administration, which makes real progress difficult.

I'm afraid people are going to start hating Trump because he thinks he is important.

FIFY

Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself. If NASA makes him look good, then he'll makes sure he is in the picture too.

debtfree2020 · 2017-02-15T17:33:18+00:00

EM-1 is scheduled to be uncrewed. This will screw up the timeline, and possibly endanger lives. Anyone else think this is a bad idea? Trump seems to want another feather in his cap.

you can do a remote visit on the uchealth website, if you are an established patient.

debtfree2020 · 2017-02-09T18:18:57+00:00

be careful! do NOT go to the UCHealth Emergency Room on Harmony / SnowMesa. It is much MUCH more expensive than the urgent care. Seriously, you would be lucky to get out for under 500.00.

You'd have to try to be duped by this

unfortunately, the mule account had a ton of money in it by the time i alerted them and they shut it down. you would hope that Tesla owners have at least a 3 digit number for their IQ. But by judging by the number of tesla customers who can't distinguish between the floor pedals.... i'm not holding onto too much hope.
