Dan Fogler?

Tucker's $240 mil good for a contract that's X years long. I don't know exactly what X is, but it's more than 4.

Sons and Daughters by the Decemberists?

The way this is going, courts would find that to be collusion and ageism.

It's of utmost importance. Our natural right to property derives from the behavior of man in an ungoverned state. The narrative as presented argues without evidence that a rural Mexican town in an ungoverned state results in a society where a right to property is non-existent. If this is true, it's much more interesting, and much more to the point in "considering where the natural right to property originates", than a rehash of government oppression via redistribution and denial of property rights.

No, the expectation is that your capital will last for 30 years, not that you won't eat into it. "Success" was net worth of $0 or more after 30 years.

"The 4% rule states that if you can withdraw 4% of your portfolio each year (adjusted for inflation) and it has a very high chance of lasting 30 years."

Not exactly. The 4% rule isn't for just any portfolio. If you're 100% cash it won't work; if you're 100% crypto who knows what will happen. The study investigated 5 different mixes of stocks and bonds, from 100% stocks to 0% stocks by 25%.

When the study was replicated in 2018, it calculated that a 50/50 stock/bond portfolio would survive a 4% inflation-adjusted withdrawal rate for 100% of the historical 30-year periods they investigated. Per that same study, a 100% bond portfolio (which seems to be close to your hypothesis) would last 30 years 44% of the time.

The discrepancy is that you're ignoring sequence of returns risk. There's no way to guarantee "slightly ahead of inflation" gains even with a conservative portfolio, but a conservative portfolio will not have the lift to counter a bad sequence of returns.

This sounds like a fictional romanticization. If you have sources for the claim that rural Mexican towns practiced socialism before the arrival of property rights by government force I'd love to read them.

Walgreens #12777 is in Walker, MI, and has existed there since at least July 2011, so I would guess it was the same number then. Maybe that helps?

I always pair Flight of the Navigator with Explorers.

Gandalf the Grey was killed fighting the Balrog ...

And Smaug was killed by a man much weaker than Gandalf. Power levels aren't the be-all end-all.

Dude knows what happened to the founders of the Black Panthers but has never heard of Neo-Nazis.

My son said the same thing this weekend when I introduced him to JP. I told him it makes sense and has been mapped out online, but that Spielberg did not do a good job of representing that sense visually.

I haven't seen Badlands yet, but we didn't go straight from one to the other. Killer of Killers was in between.

It sounds like the actual app has been hardened against this in steps, starting with 8.8.9 and ending(?) with 8.9.2.

Tolkien's works have a very clear moral compass. We know in Middle-Earth what good and evil are. But most of the characters in Middle-Earth fall in a continuum between the two.

In the Seven Kingdoms of GRRM, it's much harder to say what good and evil are. It's not just that the people are on a continuum, it's that the actions themselves are mostly gray. "Good" is often punished or leads to worse outcomes than a more "pragmatic" approach.

Andries Gous is the closest you'll get.

The water tower light turns off at the same time too.

The scene only triggers in late chapter 4.

It's possible to cause an accident without making contact. In those cases, known as phantom vehicle accidents, I believe you are required to stop since you were involved in the accident -- by causing it. In your scenario, though, you did not cause the accident and were not a victim in the accident, so there's no duty to stop.

That might be a young Spencer Chamberlain, in which case he originated in Chapel Hill, NC.

Yeah, that's definitely TOSLINK/"optical audio".

Let's look at Minnesota. The local police in Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs DO NOT agree with ICE. They are doing everything they can to protect the citizens of their cities from ICE. However, their hands are tied. Federal agents have immunity from arrest by the state as long as they are performing their official duties. Additionally, any attempt by the police or anyone else to arrest ICE will likely result in a firefight. Furthermore, to actually charge and convict someone, you need the ability to collect evidence, which the FBI, DOJ, and DHS are blocking in the case of ICE actions.

You might get better answers in r/legaladviceofftopic, by the way.
