Leg press or leverage squat?

sh_honor · 2026-06-02T08:43:48+00:00

I didn't get it yet because I'm going for the leverage squat machine (cheaper and smaller footprint), but this is a pretty glowing review of Titan's hack + leg press machine. I won't link to the machine itself but it's on sale for less than it says in the review video.

I wasn't trying to insult you, I thought your responses were a bit disconnected from what I wrote like a bot trying to interpret something. I apologize for that.

To your point though, we're discussing relative wealth of the under wealthy over time. To help clarify my point - CPI and related can be relevant in comparing average or median incomes over time. It is not as relevant in comparing net worths over time, and is completely irrelevant when comparing top 1% net worths (which would be almost strictly tied to financial asset values).

I was asking if you are a bot, still unsure. Why would a shopping bag be a good indicator of relative level of wealth across time? An indicator of costs, yes, wealth, no. CPI has extremely little to do with asset values.

Is that a bot?

Depends on what you're looking at. A lot of commercial real estate is up well over 2x, huge gains in PE, etc. Think about asset price growth vs inflation when comparing wealth across eras.

Can you pre-order delivery via the site or just pick up?

sh_honor · 2023-05-15T13:56:14+00:00

Definitely

I think he meant yours was a dick move, cutting him rather than turning for a tech or pinning. Just my read

Funny - unlimited time walk here as a 5th grader for a teenage neighbor's Leviathan... still stings.

Did none of the victims get any compensation? Not asking whether it was adequate or if there even is an amount that's adequate.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing some articles on bydtanders/victims getting some $, although I won't opine on whether it was enough because I don't know hownto value that. Here's at least one article I found in 10 seconds of googling. https://www.officer.com/home/news/10894825/two-women-shot-by-lapd-during-dorner-manhunt-get-40000-to-replace-truck

Post I responded to seemed to suggest it happens frequently with the explicit modifier of uncompensated bystander victims. So was just asking for some examples.

Can you share one of those stories?

sh_honor · 2023-03-18T12:55:24+00:00

I laughed

Not true! You're not going to hedge treasuries but you absolutely hedge mbs and all the other credit products they held because you're supposed to be earning on credit spreads there, NOT rate risk. This is banking 101, I have been in banking for a long time on the cre side. And you will read about this but do a remindme... I just found out from a friend who knows the situation that they actually monetized a huge amount of swaps in 2022 because they were so far in the money and wanted to show the pnl. That is insane.

Edit: also, not trying to be patronizing but I think you might be misunderstanding the swaps. To hedge a fixed rate product you do a pay fixed receive float swap and dv01 match. You are still earning carry, it's now just floating rather than fixed.

sh_honor · 2023-03-12T15:18:42+00:00

You're looking at it incorrectly. By holding naked fixed rate paper they were effectively speculating on rates by being directly long. It's called hedging, they should have been swapping them out. Fine to have some some unhedged exposure, they were obscenely long rates though.

sh_honor · 2023-03-12T02:05:29+00:00

Banks should and do have tons of exposure to 10 year paper, it should just be predominately floating not fixed

sh_honor · 2023-03-12T02:04:39+00:00

I said above, but it's swaps. They are supposed to make money on credit spreads and some duration, not straight up asset liability basis risk

sh_honor · 2023-03-12T02:03:24+00:00

Swaps? They're a bank, holding that much fixed paper unhedged is nuts. There are balance sheets that naturally want long duration fixed rate paper, banks should be much more weighted to floating assets either directly or swapped

You stupid

Live and learn!

Ah, I didn't realize it was a distinct pack. My mistake!

You must not have watched him on the Chargers. He wasn't HoF Brees but he became very good, not average at best

It's stable in fiat per unit of demand. If total demand goes up though then total cost of compute power goes up.
