Should’ve filmed it.

Actually that's not a bad idea. A vlog would have made a good video archive.

I always thought it was a little ‘out there’ that you devised the all-terrain portfolio but had a an all-in-bitcoin portfolio. :D But you’re young, and experience is the best teacher. Glad you can put that behind you! It was an extremely informative experience actually. I mean, I have quite few yea...

I am REALLY glad I sold those MicroStrategy shares when I did.... sadfdsafasd.png :o My stocks aren’t doing so hot lately either. I took some profits earlier, but now I’m feeling the pain. I'm lucky I made out with some profits. Some people in the MSTR subreddit are really hurting. Lesson learned a...

All comics evolve into Carlin with political clapter rants. Holy moly, I thought I was the only one that seemed to notice this. I used to love the Iliza Shlesinger stuff from like the 2013 era. Now everything she does is either politics or feminism. Same thing with Chappelle: why is he so obsessed ...

Awesome! I've always wanted to see him. Dave Chappelle is also high on my list.

I'm particularly impressed at Louis CK's career comeback after his hotel room scandal.

Stand up in person is always so much better than on screen, too.

The 200% volume thing in particular is weird.

What do you use it on? Macbook?

Both Windows and Mac.

One satoshi per child!

Did anyone else get a complete dearth of trick-or-treaters this year?? Almost no kids this year... :-\ It was a much quieter night on our block this year than most even though the weather was fine.. (It was Nov 1 that was rowdy, with noisy teens and the pumpkin theft from our steps). A friend of mi...

You guys will be glad to know that I have gone back to carrying a gram of gold in my wallet at all times.

Breaking news, I know.

Yeah, Vinny, I'm also not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing with me.

I almost never read fiction haha.

Currently reading the new Andrew Ross Sorkin book 1929.

As enthralling as any work of fiction. The first-hand accounts of late October are crazy.

Absolutely insane.

As a side note: political wild cards like Trump are EXACTLY why strategies like the PP exist and are prudent.

This timeline seems to be getting worse and worse.

Is this guy for real? Maybe I'm off base.. is it good for America to begin resuming nuclear weapons testing as a matter of national defense? What do you guys think?

I love the word 'regime'.

It's so geopolitical.

That's right. I stopped when I moved overseas. Spent a few years overseas and when I came back to the U.S., I always lived in big cities.
Nowadays, if I *really* need a car I take a taxi, Lyft or Uber.

Oh interesting! I didn't know that.

They came in a box that said authorized Microsoft refurbisher. The warranty is whatever it says in the eBay ad. I generally don't pay a lot of attention to warranties because I don't like sending anything anywhere. Totally fair. I hate sending my gear off too! I never know if i'm going to get it ba...

Smithers, have you resurrected the All-Terrain portfolio? I thought you scrapped it. Or maybe just the book? It was just the book project that I decided I didn't have the time available to do justice to. I am still maintaining the website. The All-Terrain Portfolio went on the back burner a little ...

I was thinking of picking up one of these at my local big box retailer. https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00135097 A very decent price (for Canada). This is where I bought my two Lenovo's where I know someone else did. How do prices there compare to what you have here? https://www.ebay.com/s...

I wonder how much tilting to value or overweighting emerging markets will help over the next decade.
