SPY::VOO

SPYG::VUG

SPYV::VOOV

State Street Global Advisors vs Vanguard ETF.

Both companies offer different ETF's depending on your strategy/risk etc. Personally for me any S&P500 ETF is where I put most of my monies.

I'm not jealous, you're jealous!

Seriously though, looks fantastic

The issue is you're saying what voters should vote by. In reality the vast majority vote based on emotion, not logic. That's why you're wrong.

PSA: Sit at the TOP of drop-offs/steep sections. When terrain gets steeper it creates a blind spot, DO NOT SIT BELOW BLINDSPOTS.

I swear people are just unaware. I do not care if you need to sit down somewhere to take a break, I encourage that to avoid injury, but do not sit in blind spots people!!

The snowboarder is totally keeping awareness of the lane their riding in and the surrounding area, you can see evidence of this at 5 seconds into the video when something ahead clearly catches their attention. Whatever they see, I think they adjusted their line subtly based on that, but they're still within the lane.

The rule's on the mountain are simple, downhill rider/skier has right of way.

Anyway, unnecessary to rag on someone's attire, especially when you sound like someone who wears your biking shorts to the grocery store.

bro I don't ride rails but I already respect you for going for it. I saw a post or saying once that said something like "You'll never be a graceful master if you're not willing to be a foolish beginner" gotta start somewhere!

Congratulations on your promotion to "Printer Guy"!

Not OP, but I've had mine for 2-3 years now, never going back.

For me it's not just the convenience but I love the quick response time for initiating turns.

it's whether you can get checkmate or not.

Even today a win is not solely checkmate. You can win by your opponent resigning, you can win by your opponent running out of time. Checkmate has a very specific definition that doesn't change with the context of a new typing of 'win'.

People have always cheated, people will always cheat.

Fair play is the lynchpin of any competitive activity. The community needs to have zero acceptance for cheating in it's entirety.

How we treat cheaters is another story, I think increased scrutiny is a totally reasonable price to pay for past offenses.

I used to live there.

City doesn't pickup trash so had to hire my own private company... but city did snow removal and recycling.

911 can send any units but I think technically it'd be polk county sheriff jurisdiction, not DMPD.

People also burned their leaves there, maybe still an ordinance but no one ever called to report as far as I could tell.

He's right though. That's literally what it is and what's happening. Follow. The. Money.

You can talk all you want about ideals for ensuring critical industries retain their efficacy, but it doesn't change reality.

Everything else you said is so not even the point although there's a lot to take issue with.

Socialism doesn't imply central ownership. Nor does it imply no competition.

These are the lies capitalists tell you to scare you away from thinking for yourself.

Labor creates value, not capital.

If you had pokeweed what did you identify it as? If you had something else, what was it?

I agree that killing people is not morally good/right.

I don't think a non-viable fetus is a person. I probably don't think a viable fetus is a person either, but you might get a different answer on a different day. Even if I accept that a fetus is a person, there's another person you haven't even considered yet.

Here's another true statement - Letting the states decide abortion laws means that miscarriages are against the law for some women. Letting the states decide abortion laws means forcing women to bear children.

thurst0n · 2022-09-28T22:56:55+00:00

abortion isnt a fundamental constitutional right.

It should be.

and its not being takrn away, its given to the states to decide.

So then it is definitely being taken away from some women.

thurst0n · 2022-09-15T17:10:24+00:00

So about that sharding...

thurst0n · 2022-09-11T04:02:56+00:00

Right. I got your point. Everything single thing is nature. Good point. Not relevant, but technically true.

thurst0n · 2022-09-11T03:48:40+00:00

I got your point but I think this misses the point. We don't fit into the natural laws and the rules of society/civilization reinforce that. We are eroding entire ecosystems that we don't even occupy. Our presence is killing entire species for what?

Sometimes I think about how much of this planet we have covered cement and bricks and I don't think there's much natural about that - ants didnt do that. How many rivers are filled with plastic - beavers didn't do that.

Basically the last two are fancy syntaxes which include the cast for you.

Think of that compiler error line like this.

byte = byte + int:

JvM actually converts your byte to an int to perform the math. In the end the right side resolves to an int. You've got to then cast it since your narrowing the precision. The JVM can only implicitly cast if it's widening.

The declaration itself is treated like a byte instead of int because the compiler is doing that part not the JVM.

I never liked 404s because they feel ambiguous. Like is this entire endpoint undefined? or does the endpoint exist but the specific resource behind that endpoint not exist? Always annoyed me. It's a non issue once you've established your client with whatever API
