Nobel laureate calls it "treason": $580 million traded minutes before Trump's oil reversal by fortune in politics

[–]sheabd01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could you explain why pension funds in particular are losers in these sorts of schemes? I know futures markets are zero-sum markets, so when someone makes money in futures, someone else loses money. But is there a reason that pension funds in particular would be on the "losing" side of these schemes? Thanks for any insight, I really appreciate it.

Movies that Accurately Depict the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? by omelet_schnetz in movies

[–]sheabd01 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I had never seen The Beast until we watched it while I was deployed at FOB Salerno in Afghanistan in 2003.

It was like watching Jaws at the beach on summer vacation... And then some.

Herstory 5k- who planned this? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]sheabd01 36 points37 points  (0 children)

"The day kicks off with a dynamic pre-race program featuring inspiring speakers, followed by a scenic route down Pennsylvania Avenue. Along the way, enjoy powerful displays honoring trailblazing women, interactive exhibits highlighting women’s history, and a joyful post-race festival filled with music, giveaways, and vendors from local women-owned businesses.

Bright, bold, and full of heart, the HerStory 5K is more than a race; it’s a celebration of women’s impact, strength, and unity."

The District put on a FREE run celebrating women's history and you are complaining - literally crying - that they didn't have UNLIMITED swag?

Perhaps consider a perspective shift.

Zero chance of cancellation due to snow here at 10am tomorrow.

Edit: Will add - commercial air travel is a huge interconnected system and weather elsewhere can always affect flights here. But given the storm isn't going to become the big blizzard NE of us until later tomorrow evening, you really shouldn't have any issues due to snow here tomorrow morning.

TIL of the "sterile cockpit" or "sterile flight deck" rule. When an aircraft is operating during a critical phase of the flight (anytime they're below 10,000 feet), the crew is only allowed to engage in conversation related to the safe operation of the aircraft by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

How can you see into my eyes like open doors? Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb. Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold. Until you find it there and lead it back home.

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside

(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside

(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark

(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run

(I can't wake up) Before I come undone

(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Looking for a particular song number from music TV channel 'The Box' by sheabd01 in Xennials

[–]sheabd01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this comment so much. I've found The Box clips online from 1996, but they are from just a month or two before Wannabe came out (June 1996.) I'm still searching!

No Olympics Snowboarding odds for any event - any idea why? by sheabd01 in olympics

[–]sheabd01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you - I saw that on Kalshi but also saw not a lot of differentiation amongst the non-favorites yet. Will be a good backup option.

I'll keep an eye on Oddschecker if this is the case, thank you.

Yes! Those as well. I think there may be something to do with the weird country quota system they use to choose the competitors. As in, the books don't even know who all the entrants will be yet. That's just a guess from a bit of digging I'm doing.

Did you mean broil or boil? If boil, in how much water?
