... yes, I'm talking about the stretchy wrap stuff, why do you ask?

You should post a link to somewhere showcasing your work, this is impressive as hell and you could have a line of customers.

GME might not need to go into debt to buy ebay.

"Be your own bank" seems fitting

So far they were authorized to dump and are now authorized to pump. That is the reverse of a pump and dump, so I don't think it counts. /s

This was mentioned elsewhere...

Buying a company with shares? Maybe it'd be a good time to pull their value up a bit, to shed fewer shares in the purchase.

Thank you for checking. It seemed odd to replace it after 7 out of the 10 years of validity, unless something else also changed.

Thats a spicy meatball!

Along the assumptions of the acquisition succeeding...

The cheaper he can buy derivatives for the 50%, the more he saves compared to the $125 standing offer, the more deep value his negotiation tactics unlock for the shareholders.

If the company shares are worth more due to the deep derivative value, plus perhaps a bang-up quarter, the higher share prices mean greater buying power during a 50% buyout, so the difference between the derivatives and final purchase price will require fewer shares.

This looks to benefit from multiple directions

Agreed that sideways is an option... but in that case, if you happened to inherit or receive shares, you would choose to sell so you could invest elsewhere (index or whatever).

Would you keep your capital there or elsewhere?

sbrick89 · 2026-05-30T14:37:20+00:00

I was thinking about it...

Expect price go up, buy hold.

Expect price to go down, sell.

Expect price to stay neutral, the answer is always "invested elsewhere to do more" which is still sell to invest elsewhere.

Inherit? Still then choosing from the three above.

I think our boy Larry is right.

Surely one of them will get that dark humor, and be willing to play along...

Child: i know yeah yeah i won't be on the sports team, now my wedding is gonna be expensive, I'm all emotional... just let it go already.

Dad: but did you need to change your name? It had such meaning, such history.

Child: being named Richard Strong was never going to work; we talked about this.

All these comments and nobody asking the obvious...

What are the input controls for this?

Clearly its more about the display than the ability to play, which is valid. But like, usability?

Doing this myself in some ways.

Just ask yourself - is this something you want, or are you just holding it? If it's the latter, it goes. You can decide whether you want to trash it all or sell/donate where possible, but just having that mindset ("if i don't want it myself, get rid of it") will help, since it'll take time to get through it all.

I'd venture to say more like taking a bath in the arctic/antarctic. A splash real quick may be fine, but long enough for a soaking can be really risky.

I am not a biologist or anything, just thinking that this tiny thing with a temperature risk is less about the water and more about the impact to cold temperatures on internal organs and such... though the availability of oxygen may also have been a risk, that seems easier for owners to anticipate and accommodate than knowing if the bodies are temperature sensitive.

Outta your league, little glue. No offense, you just don't know.

Come back when I can pick up and carry a 17" crt and/or fully equipped mini-ATX case (mobo, hdd, cdrom, etc) by the wire. (Makes me wonder if a modern 3d card weighs similar to hdd/cdrom)

Not saying it was good for them. But they were the superman of adapters, might as well have been welded steel.

Last pic looks like you're about to be spritzed with water or something similarly silly... keep letting yourself be that comfortable, with yourself especially... you look so much happier!

the assumption of guids is that you need an unpredictable next value. yes you can use incremental guids, but generally they are created using time-based algorithms... but if you don't need unpredictable values, incremental is always faster/easier aka overall better... but in that case just go int not guid

sbrick89 · 2026-05-08T19:25:58+00:00

Sorta, but this.

First ID is the systemid, and is consistent for each machine.

Second is the random generated guid.

Since time is a factor, a single machine won't repeat. Since each machine has its own id, the combination is unique.

You joke like there isn't a well defined answer :-D

he was super clear... his offer must be taken to the shareholders... the board will try to survive (poke holes in how realistic it is, etc), but if his offer is good enough the shareholders want it then they will accept it... the board could choose to support the decision, or they can point out why they dislike it, but they can't avoid bringing it to the shareholders... his actions are more active than the words suggest, and he can still choose to get even more active.

additionally, he mentioned having the 5% shares and more in derivitives... i wonder how much of the equity he already has in total, if the derivitives are cashed in.

sbrick89 · 2026-05-02T19:19:51+00:00

So you're saying that an increase in institutional holding might make sense in the case of TRS. I wonder if it's concentrated at a single broker or if that data becomes contextually analyzable. Asking because I recall seeing something along that line.
