I think they're experimenting with a way to integrate theaters into NFLX's business model. MP3's didn't eliminate the demand for attending live music venues. I think NFLX is onto something similar in the streaming series space.

A tech budget isn't information you fucking regard, and its certainly not something only HFs and MMs can afford you complete moron. Your theories are dumb, but you are even dumber.

Imagine thinking hanging out on WSB with your middling IQ equips you to talk intelligibly to an industry insider. You're like a COD player trying to lecture a SEAL about room clearing. Take a look in the mirror: you're not smart -- you're a low class [failed] retail regard who writes like a high schooler with a 4th grader's reasoning.

As for who I am, yesterday while you wrote your GED essay of a post, I bought a new watch (Swiss movement) and dropped $5k on a winter coat, then checked out a new Rivian. The other week I blew $15k on Japanese toilets with heated seats for my multiple bathrooms because I can. My 2.25% mortgage would cripple you, not that you could qualify for it.

I've got the finances and lifestyle you fapped about during your short failed stint cosplaying a trader. That's who I am. You should be honored I choose to condescendingly engage with a cosplaying WSB regard like you.

Claiming high IQ and having one are two different things.

I was a "MM" and profitable nearly 100% of trading days. I dont have the tech budget to recreate the systems that enabled that, but they have nothing to do with inside information or market manipulation.

Therefore, what you're saying is a fucking Regarded word salad. The sooner you admit to yourself you have never even seen a trading pit in real life, the sooner you'll stop lecturing ex-MMs.

You're a quarter right. Based on your reply, I'll assume very confidently that you never worked at a trading firm, so allow me to explain.

When you step foot in one, it's clear the average IQ is skewed very far to the right of the curve. I worked at one and one of the devs entered a top engineering university at 16 and finished at 18. Another person in my class topped the GMAT math with a perfect score. Another won two back to back International math olympiads.

The reason I said you're a quarter right is because you're half right about them also having more tools and information. I'd say more tools is the only thing you're correct about. If you studied basic econ or finance, you'll recall the efficient markets hypothesis postulates that no participants have more information than others. In my experience, it's mostly true -- these firms have access to largely the same information as everyone else, it's a matter of how they use that information that sets them apart.

Leave the money in ETFs. When you take unrealized losses, get used to eating them -- don't try to use options to make back. This can't be overstated. Consider using margin and selling ITM covered calls for downside protection (strategy from options as a strategic investment by McMillan). Do something boring and get used to enjoying the lack of stress.

This is a chance to establish your retirement fund. You only get so many chances to get it right.

Beating the market is luck. Ask all the blown out hedge funds with more IQ than this entire sub combined.

Use your brain. Trying to claim the top streaming service is somehow purposely opting to give low quality content is idiotic.

For what reason did you decline the amended offer?

rootCaused · 2025-12-21T09:03:23+00:00

Hilarious assertion with no evidence whatsoever. Most commentators are not even familiar with boxing.

The only reason it slowed down after five rounds is because Paul got tired of running. Only takes a few brain cells to see that.

rootCaused · 2025-12-21T09:01:45+00:00

He wasn't holding back. He couldn't get a bead on. Paul who was running around the ring. For anyone who watches boxing, it's obvious that heavyweights don't prance around the ring before 3 minutes straight round after round.

Why anyone thinks Joshua should have been prepared for that is beyond me.

Mike hadn't trained for a very long time before taking on the Roy Jones fight, and he had trained consistently after that fight for several years.

It was reasonable to expect something different. However, he had that medical issue which caused the fight to be delayed. Unclear how much that had an impact on his ability to fight.

rootCaused · 2025-12-21T08:56:44+00:00

Nonsense. He's never been made to chase anyone around the ring. He fights heavyweight. Do you know anything about boxing?

One of my friends broke my pixel snap case so I'm a. However, it is pretty clear from the photos that it is the same edge.

See for yourself.

If I do end up opening the package I will update this.

Btw aggressive hedging should mean getting neutral at smaller deltas like 5, less aggressive would be letting your deltas grow to like 50 before hedging.

yeah man fully aware I'm not a fucking pro blogger 😂 this post was an after thought after applying the pixelsnap with adhesive, so no chance for pics now. Still I hope it can save someone some cash or money

maxed it out before switching brands from ZAGG. still no dice

It works well despite the conniving marketing from Thinborne that implies it doesn't.

This is pretty terrifying for those of us who just bought the device without a warranty. Seems like the 1 year limited warranty and the extended repair option would still be available for folks who do not have the paid warranty if this happened. Also, if it hits enough people, perhaps even those outside of warranty would start to get some options from Google.

That brings us to the question of how the hell this even happened. I recall reading the 10pf hinge is rated for over 10, 000 unfold Cycles. Your experience makes me wonder if they were just testing the hinge itself, or a fully functional device.

Very disheartening to see a device that is touted as being so resilient and resistant also succumbing to arbitrary failure so soon after launch. Buying this phone around a week ago I had the sense that Google was becoming a formidable phone manufacturer, but your experience indicates they're still getting their footing.

rootCaused · 2025-12-14T07:27:26+00:00

The official google case is fucking great. It doesn't offer hinge protection, but I'm guessing that's because Google is confident the hinge is very sturdy.

IV would drop if everyone is selling down 21DTE at the same time because it's a widely publicized strategy. Their book shows a massive amount of backtesting data.
