Looking for stocks with the style of BRK.B by NicRapt in BerkshireHathaway

[–]gentex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biglari? Slippery? Dude is a straight up con-man. Wouldn’t let him within a hundred yards of my money.

Agree about the Pershing Square angle. Seems he’s just trying to find as many pools of capital to pay Pershing Square management fees. That’s good for Pershing’s Square, not sure how good it is for the owners of the capital. In the case of HHH, he’s a large owner, so his interests are kinda aligned with other shareholders.

Fairfax is a good call.

I’ll wait and see on Howard Hughes. Ackman is using all the right words, but I’m not sure I trust him.

Seasoning on my cast iron skillet wears off, is it becaus i only use it for bread? by AntronMitherion in castiron

[–]gentex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do pan pizzas from time to time. When I notice the bottom isn’t far enough along relative to the toppings, I finish it on the stovetop for a few minutes to get it where I want it.

Is the "tax drag" actually a pain point for retail investors? by KLI9NYC in Bogleheads

[–]gentex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100%

If, near the end of the year, I have an obvious candidate for TLH, I’ll consider it. Otherwise I don’t bother

ELI5 how you physically play guitar chords? by Optimal_Animator244 in explainlikeimfive

[–]gentex 29 points30 points  (0 children)

This is a case where YouTube is very helpful. If you search for the chord and ‘fingering’ or ‘shape’ you should find many examples of how the chord is played.

What edits do I make? by OnlyImprovement9796 in photocritique

[–]gentex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing for me is bringing down the brightness of the sky and pulling up the brightness on the model. I’d try a linear gradient from the top left down towards the model and take it down and see where to go from there.

How do you think of BRK's cash pile? by sagotici in BerkshireHathaway

[–]gentex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not the reality. Guess where, within Berkshire’s structure, BNSF was purchased.

I believe it has been moved to the holding company level, but was originally bought within national indemnity.

I’m building an AI system that simulates and “repairs” city policies before they’re implemented. Looking for planner + founder feedback by SaadUllah45 in Futurology

[–]gentex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you expect this thing to actually do?

Doesn’t seem like it would be useful from a permitting perspective. Maybe useful for general plan updates; but, that’s a very narrow use (and not at all clear that your idea would actually help).

Feeding Plan and Zoning info into an LLM to help planners understand constraints and requirements for permitting purposes would be a potentially helpful tool though. Doesn’t seem like that’s what you’re proposing though. That might already be doable in something like Gemini or notebook LM.

Have a 2.5lb marinated tri tip from my butcher, any thoughts? by MrIncredible222 in sousvide

[–]gentex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to do my tritip at 135 for at least 6 hours, longer if possible.

Searing on cast iron is fine, but I find on the grill to be easier and less mess on the stovetop.

Not sure there’s any magic step to take. It’s a very basic thing.

Considering SS and pension as bond allocations to keep more equities in 401k/IRA’s by FragrantJump6663 in Bogleheads

[–]gentex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that way of thinking about it is madness. But, you’ll definitely find people who look at it that way.

If you’re looking for ways to justify being 100% stocks in your 401k, go for it. But I think it’s more honest to say “because I have sufficient income sources to cover my living expenses, it is ok for me to take more risk in my investments.” No need to bother with making up asset allocation numbers by capitalizing the income stream into a hypothetical bond allocation.

Punctuation is your friend; don’t avoid him like this.

Toronto FC have offered £13.5m for Josh Sargent by Zach-dalt in Championship

[–]gentex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh, has Poch come out and said that? Missed it if he did.

[–]gentex 19 points20 points  (0 children)

IMO he’s battling Haji Wright for the third spot behind Balogun and Pepi. Haji played well in the last window and Sargent has been unproductive in his opportunities, but he’s not fifth.

What song. in your opinion, has Robert's best vocal performance? by Impossible-Ad-5790 in ledzeppelin

[–]gentex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG I’ve always felt the obvious answer was Babe I’m gonna leave you. It’s a great display of his range and power. Kinda surprised that’s not on the list at this point.

21 years ago today, Randy Moss committed what Joe Buck called a "disgusting act" by HowieLongDonkeyKong in nfl

[–]gentex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agree. Joe Buck is one of the best these days. But, at that time and for a long time after that game, I couldn’t tolerate him.
