  1. Aggie: Sora, create a video series of A&M going undefeated and winning the national title. Sora: No source data available for that request
  2. Maybe she has multiple iCloud accounts for a forgotten or other reason that she doesn't want to say.
  3. Let's review the type of person that we're discussing. knows the phrase, sequence of return risk participates in online retirement discussions says they will save up 3 years of expenses in cash before retiring I think it's fairly safe to say this person is not going to ignore the market while simultaneously annually pulling out 10% of the retirement funds. Most likely this person has a withdrawal rate of 2-3% AND they're opening up a brokerage account with some of that money because this is the game they play. It's not impossible that a hardcore retirement planner runs out of money but the chances are low IMO.
  4. Weinstein's crazier brother was so bad that he was booted from future Rogan podcast but this one still comes around.
  5. SIAP. The judge can rule that neither she cannot lead the case, which then applies to her entire office. The case would get bumped to the state AG, who would most likely drop the charge.
  6. I'm fairly pissed off that the Fulton Co DA's love life may ultimately lead to Trump walking on this case because she couldn't find a date who didn't work for her.
  7. I'm tired of mentally ill and/or angry people easily getting their hands on guns. I'm tired of irresponsible parents/relatives giving guns to their family members who cannot get guns on their own. I'm tired of irresponsible gun owners treating the world like it's the OK Corral.
  8. A bit creepy when the old priest sleeps the young lady that he helped raise. The 80s were just different.
  9. Great point. Many people do not understand crypto and could incorrectly believe that they have to buy a full bitcoin. I'm sure I or someone has also mentioned it here that the continued success of these ETFs will put pressure on more brokers on allowing IBIT (and other) purchases. Wall St. just wants people's money and their job isn't to protect investors. There must be internal and external pressure to open up the buys.
  10. At these ETF purchase levels I assume that the bitcoin halving even in April will be less of an impact than some think/hope. If ETF buys and mining net out at ~9,100 bitcoins purchased from existing inventories, is that much of a difference from ~9,550 in April? Not a zero impact but I don't see the needle moving much. But not to be a Debbie Downer, I think we hit $100K this year unless there is an unexpected external factor.
  11. Can you expand on a three year buffer doesn't fully address the sequence of returns risk? I understand there's always a risk of a multi year crash of the stock market but those odds are extremely low. And in that scenario a person may be able to adjust their expenses to stretch out the three year fund.
  12. Nice flip for the Dems but I wouldn’t read too much into this. Santos was an embarrassment to anyone in that district so it’s no surprise there was a big rebound.
  13. I guarantee people were running their trash can out to the curb when they heard the truck. I usually put the trashcan out by 4pm. They drove up at 9am today.
  14. if the Dem wins NY-3, it will be GOP 219-213? Johnson could only afford 2 defections to win a vote.
  15. Michael Berry makes a living due to Houston being a democrat-run city/county. If Houston was The Woodlands, he wouldn't be on the radio.
  16. Like Whitmire or not, he's getting the trash service to operate on their stated schedule. Today's recycling was picked up correctly on the schedule for the first time in a couple years.
  17. Instead of a relatively lame video complaining about snack prices, Biden should get the CEOs of some of these food/beverage companies to co-announce with him that they're suspending all prices increases for the remainder of 2024. I know those CEOs don't want to wade into the politics of standing next to Biden, but they also don't want to be called out directly by POTUS as being un-American.
  18. Can the NY district actually vote for another GOP candidate after Santos? Then again they voted for Santos in the first place.
  19. The iShare bitcoin trust page Jan 31st: $2.9B in bitcoin Feb 12th: $4.7B in bitcoin Unless the iShares' (& others) investors get spooked and sell, I don't sell how BTC won't continue to go up in price with this much money flowing in.
  20. and to be clear, I don't equate personal bankruptcy with stealing or being a bad person. People make mistakes or have unfortunate situations. Problems can happen to anyone. Bankruptcy can be a necessary process for people to move on with their lives, hopefully in the right direction. I find that deciding to not pay debts is an extreme position. If me, I would look for the best interest option and start working to knock it out. I agree that paying off 90K (and growing) debt would be painful. I might start driving for uber on the weekend, or look for a higher paying job.
  21. Not that Swift-Kelce were the first but I imagine there will be a rush of athletes and musicians who start "dating". There's too much money being left on the table.
  22. I understand that idea but failing to pay back debt feels like its compounding one problem perhaps into a bigger problem. Maybe others disagree but there is something about owning your responsibilities. Or at least attempting to do so. I watched my parents go into bankruptcy to avoid debt, and then I watched them borrow from a family member. Guess how much that family member got paid back? $0. I lost respect for my parents 30 years ago that has never returned. I get that the bank is faceless and amoral but I think there is something about not stealing. Call me crazy.
  23. An even more accurate headline, “Trump encourages Putin to interfere in our election. (Again.)”
  24. Please God, give me one more oil crypto boom. This time I promise to sell and not hodl.
