Re: Netflix junkie
I just finished watching Mad Max for the first time ever. I honestly don’t get the hype. The movie was very meh to me. I also now especially don’t get why Bogleheads always refer to the “Mad Max scenario” when discussing gold as an investment. Does anyone really think that this corresponds with real...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
At no age would I have even gone in it. In 1981 I went to some museum in Chicago and they had a captured German submarine on its front lawn, which you could walk through which I did. This was a beautiful summer day, as stated it was just sitting on the ground, yet in the few minutes I spent walking...

While we are on the topic is surprises me that we don't have more members of this forum that are gamers, given that it seems like we are mostly male. Is it a generational thing?

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
My attention has really been captured by that missing submersible exploring the Titanic the past couple days. Apparently they found the debris and that a hull implosion was likely what happened. These craft were experimental and it seems that cyclical fatigue finally made the submersible bite the du...

Re: Elizabeth Holmes
Finished watching the 8 part series last night. Consistently excellent from start to finish. Book to arrive in a week or two. Will read it quite quickly once it arrives. But, maybe, I'll get a nice surprise and it will get to me sooner than then. I just got a copy too! I had thought you'd already r...

Hey Man, hide that in spoiler tags! O0 Oh right, we don’t have spoiler tags on this forum. At least I don’t think we do. [spoiler] nope [/spoiler] The episode you mention is one of my favorites.

Re: Netflix junkie
Black Mirror 6 is out NOW I remember watching maybe one season's worth of this show and just finding every episode bizarre and disturbing (in some ways good and bad). Is 6 any good in your opinion? The one episode I found striking was that crazy simulated world where the two lovers have to "find" e...

Re: Golden Butterfly Portfolio
Does anyone know if there's a canonical rebalancing policy with the GB?
I've been wrestling with it for a bit and I think something like +/-5% absolute bands or +/-25% relative bands seem reasonable.

Re: the ray dalio all weather vs the PP
The Cockroach Portfolio attempts to be the “least shitty portfolio” by taking a balanced, harmonious and ego free approach to asset allocation with a refreshingly humble viewpoint that “we’re not able to know the future” and thus we ought to prepare for all potential outcomes.
LOL!

I am very surprised to see that Portfolio Visualizer has not included the GB as one of their model portfolios.

Re: The Meme Thread
One thing my HVAC guy told me is to not spend money on expensive filters and to just buy the cheap ones. Apparently it doesn't make a difference? Do you have a take on that? Not my area of expertise. Although I have read something similar, the guy who installed my first new system back in 2001 told...

Re: The Meme Thread
Those are filters for oil burners? If so, my one and only story is that I once asked my oil burner person to look at mine to tell me if it needed replacing. He looked at it and said, "No. You must run a clean house." I told him, No, that is far from the case. Now that I went mini-splits last Decemb...
