    more discipline sticking primarily to short vol trades.

    my target is to beat the total returns of my friend Asadullah, who works in securities.

     

    the great irony is my vol positions are negative for the year but my portfolio is having the best performance in yeras

    I have no doubt companies will eventually want to do make-up hikes. The market will determine if they are able to.

    Coffee may not be the best example:

    “Prices for coffee have soared, fueled largely by volatile weather that's reduced crop harvests among major growers like Brazil and Vietnam, according to analysts.”

    Only political projectionists are declaring any victories.

    While the tariffs have squeezed U.S. green coffee importers, they’ve also arrived on the back of an extended period of nominally high prices on the coffee commodities markets,

    I bragged on the Intel thread about some equity + options positions that were absolutely stonking. And now they're just a hair above profitable. (Gonna grab more)

    Intel stonking again.  +30% premarket to $33 on news of NVDA taking a mere $5B stake (4%) at ~$23/sh valuation   🤠🎂

    Have you tried first class?  They usually frown on the poors stashing their bags in 1st class.  And you get to stare at the common folk smugly while they're stuck in line to get back to row 34, all the while you know you'll be in the first 10-20 people off the plane.

    On a widebody first class has its own boarding door so you never have to see the underclass and they'll never access your stowage.

  5. Piece of shit corporate Windows laptops packed to the brim with corporate 'security' crapware that hogs most the resources and burn all the battery.

    When working from the couch at home I have to prop it on a book or a flat surface for the machine to ventilate or else it overheats (which it does anyway) and dies.

     I prefer the medium over books because I can plug in my earphones and go about chores and feel productive.

    Absolutely impossible. I'm not sure how much of it is losing cognition, and how much is simply being realistic about my cognition... but I can't mentally multitask like that anymore.

    Only time I my head's free to absorb content mindlessly is walking the dog or riding a bike. Any other chore around the house and it's impossible to focus.

  7. I've successfully conditioned my spouse into being a misogynist bigot.

    We drove to the grocery store and spotted the neighbor's car, parked very poorly. I said, "hey look, the [jones] are here too, and they're really hugging the parking line"

    Her response: "it's probably the wife"

    This is definitely true.  He did throw some short passes sidearm last year but his default motion was with his arm in an L shape - I.e. ball overhead.  Now seems like everything is sidearm.  If he’s not hurt, then it goes back to footwork.  Sidearm enables shitty footwork.  They should be chewing his ass when he doesn’t square his shoulders on film and in practice.

    Many of the sidearm throws are a function of trying to thread between defenders, or as a necessity of moving on the run and not being able to set his stance. Theyre no longer an indictment of poor QB mechanics in modern football.  

    What is, is the indecision or inability to find receivers, which necessitates running from the pocket in the first place.

    His motion looks normal on the corner attempt to Wingo and the post to Livingstone.  But both sailed deep because he's probably disturbed in the head and afraid of INTs.

    I have an uncle who has recently got into the habit of not closing the bathroom door all the way when he goes in there.  And if you don't close it all the way it slowly opens back up all the way because the house isn't level.  Taking a piss is one thing, but on the most recent visit he has upped his game to shitting with the door open.  And it is within the line of sight from the dining room where everyone can see.  

    My dad used to do this the lights off in an interior bathroom (no window) because he found it too bright and didn't want to install a dimmer.

    Imagine walking into somebody shitting in near darkness.
