Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Something very satisfying about tech nostalgia. There's a fairly new video about the Texas Instruments computer (TI-99) as a "failure" on youtube, but I and a lot of other people had a great young adulthood learning BASIC on it. One of the things I miss about the old days was the boatload of discre...

Maximum PC
A forum member long ago told me to check out old copies of my favourite magazine as a teenager: Maximum PC. https://books.google.ca/books?id=5gEAAAAAMBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=maximum+pc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjrw7a6wJeFAxUVEUQIHWaFCbgQ6AF6BAgKEAI#v=onepage&q=maximum%20pc&f=false I'm currently enjoy...

Re: A history lesson for our crypto trolls
I wonder what SBF is thinking right now. From billionaire business prodigy to prison. Can't imagine that would put anyone on anything less than suicide watch.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
Wow, very interesting read. Thank you for that, Mr and Mrs Smithers. I read and hear a lot about Zelensky and corruption but I mean he's there . He didn't abscond with cash, and Бог knows he could have. He only leaves to drum up more support for the war effort. (I don't want to cheapen things by sa...

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
I’m decidedly unimpressive in person, M. I consider myself very lucky to have some long-time friends who know my quirks and put up with me.

Coincidentally, the latest Tony Robbins books espouses private equity (and various methods to get access to it), and recommends it for diversification.

Re: Small Cap Value vs US Total Stock Market
One possible explanation that Fama put forth is that value companies may not be mispriced. It's possible that people just don't like them and don't have a taste for them. It could be that people have an affinity for glamour companies like Nvidia or Tesla and are willing to pay a premium to hold them...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I’m usually not a fan of beets either. I cant stand beet salad, as an example. However when cooked in borscht, the beets take on the flavour of the broth and become delicious!

2U / edX Facing Possible Bankruptcy And Shutdown

I love borscht. I don’t know if that’s a stock photo or hers but it looks better than any borscht I’ve ever had. Just a stock photo. Hers looked pretty similar though!

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Have you introduced foods to your fiancee that she never had before? Besides XO sauce. It's mostly her introducing me to new foods since I don't cook. :D Thanks to her I tasted borscht for the first time! Yummy and healthy. :) https://www.177milkstreet.com/assets/site/Recipes/_large/Ukrainian-Borsc...
