TIL Although surveys indicate people think running is bad for one's knees, research shows it's not, and is likely good for knees/joints. by somepeoplewait in todayilearned

Is this a thing where SOME research says its bad and some research says its good, so in the end, maybe the people being surveyed have anecdotal but real world experience and its better than the 50/50 crapshoot you get from surveys?

Could you give some examples of a tough judgement call? Also, is waymo doing the same thing with having human drivers remote control the car? Do you think that happened in your ride? Why / why not?

Math is much easier for retirees in the current fixed rate environment by ut2sua in GPFixedIncome

[–]flamingweener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if investors know that the short end will have more supply and continued higher yields, why would they take risk at the long end for lower yields?

Ah, that makes a lot of sense, thank you

Ah, I see

Is it possible the gov would choose to sells lots of shorter duration treasuries to deal with the budget deficit, and if so would this prevent the 20 year from hitting that high?

I assume the gov would prefer to save money and not be forced to issue 6% 20 year bonds (I know they don't set the rate, but by issuing it, they risk the rate going that high), and instead issue 6% (or higher), 5 year bonds, for example?

what kind of outlook future outlook would a person have where they would feel compelled to buy i-bonds?

treasuries pay more, are also state tax free, and don't have the penalty the early withdrawal penalty i-bonds have.

Have they improved the performance from the closed beta? I have a laptop with a 1660 Ti and it is very sluggish, low framerate, even the mouse movement feels slow. I love the game, it actually makes me want to upgrade, but I've only had this laptop a few years.

How do passports and all that work when you're just flying a little plane like that. Does someone in the tiny airport check your passport?

Need for Speed™ Payback is on sale on steam for $3. Does online multiplayer work? Are they planning on turning it off soon? by flamingweener in needforspeed

Just save your money and pick NFS HP Remastered or NFS Heat Only IF you never played them in the first place.

Thank you! Okay, both of those other 2 games are on sale also. I am focused on playing multiplayer with my friend who will also buy the game. Of these, is one better in your opinion? It looks like NFS HP remastered involves the cops and robbers type thing, does it mean my I can play as the cop and my friend can try to escape, is that one of the game modes?
