  1. That looks exactly like a graph of my YouTube Watch Later playlist
  2. If you can open a bank account in Turkey, you’ll get around 50% annual yield on your liras.
  3. Ive rolled it on grass and light dirt trails and its fine. The first order determinant of how well things roll over obstacle is tire size, and it should be sized similar to portable strollers. theres good leverage on the frame at the handlebar and the turning seems better than the travel cybex
  4. Babyzen yoyo is the best stroller in the world. No question. We had a cybex twizy swapped for a yoyo. Ridiculously easy to fold and unfold. Fits on airplane overhead (all the airport staff recognize it as a compatible stroller). Pivots and rolls and handles very well. Etc etc.
  5. Generally bearish and pessimistic comments from executives in responding to Dallas Fed’s survey. Many expected depressed prices in cl and ng https://www.dallasfed.org/research/surveys/des/2024/2403#tab-comments (of course, 1 opinion, even from a big wig, is still just 1 opinion weighted against the entire market)
  6. Win or lose Colorado has delivered a ton of entertainment last 2 years. TH12 is a stud and Shedeur does a good Caleb Williams facsimile on the field
  7. In what may be a first for all of Surlys history: the wife is right.
  8. Call it a hunch but UNLVs starting QB (who hails from New York) has a NIL deal thats slightly different from one brokered by the college messageboard admin offering $300/semester and free margaritas from the vegas equivalent of El Arroyo. Im guessing the deal is a tad larger and it comes with implicit expectation of playing for the team, and not given out of charity. Just guessing tho
  9. NIL. It's a woozie it's a wayzee.
  10. all this means is the rules are bullshit. why do we feign this 'student-athlete' pretense against what we already know has been the reality since the beginning of time: elite high school athletes in popular sports go to college to play sports. they pick their college to play sports. colleges recruit them to play sports. they will derive their career earnings from sports. hell, most of them wouldnt qualify for admittance to their colleges if not for sports. for all intents and purposes, these are athletes engaging in an (extremely) commercial enterprise, so they might as well be considered professional, and paid commensurately. thats why i support NIL. the fact that they're not "paid to play" is on-paper de jure vs de facto distinction. if bijan robinson decided he didn't want to risk injury playing in college, so he join the roster but never willingly step on the field, would any donors give him NIL? lets not make pretend here the true nature of the payments. if the UNLV dude didn't get the money that was promised to him, walking away seems appropriate.
  11. narrator: he did not, in fact, hope for the continued success of the program. he rather didn't care about the program at all.
  12. I've complained about this atleast once before but I'll complain again: most software implementation of the mute function is stupid. The icon should say mic, not mute. It'll be colored red when mic is on, and gray/muted when mic is off. That's the color association everyone knows when an A/V equipment is on (or "hot"). Or render some skeuomorphic toggle switch in the On/Off states. ** On the left state, the mic is muted but the icon is red. On the right state, the mic is live but the icon is white, and it still has the crossed line that implies it's off. The design is signaling conflicting things
  13. lol with the vagueness. if you're going to make an accusation, and there are no legal repercussion against it, just fucking lay out the charges. # pls respect my decision
  14. Its actually fine in January, weather is very mild so not particularly cold nor wetter than the rest of the year. Only thing you really lose out on is daylight. Med coastal Spain is always a good escape for weather…but Paris wont be bad. We actually decided to get married during a late Dec trip to Paris and proposed a few months later in Spanish islands (Canaries)
  15. Seems inappropriate to ask private employers to function as an individuals babysitter for a literally lifelong duration. I agree that some people fail to save. If that manifests as a societal problem, the responsibility for a minimal blanket belongs to government. (They launched SSN almost a century ago). FYI, in the nations most idealized as western socialist utopias, employee sponsored pensions are also DC; and the officially endorsed retirement architecture is “three pillar” (just like Americas ‘three-legged stool’): state, employer, and private savings.
  16. I didnt invent the verbiage - “covered” “participate” “participated” etc. Those were lifted from the benefits survey publications for those years. When they switched to the modern compensation survey, the questions were more specific allowing for detailed answers like ‘percentage of workers with *frozen* DBs transitioned to alternate form of pension’. the long term trends in the answer tells me with high confidence that in 1995, the percentage of employees with actively offered DB was 50%, not ‘fuhgetaboutit’
  17. I dont see color or race/racism either.
  18. Tell her the math is easy, you just multiply both numbers by 2 so she needs 4/6 at the end.
  19. Most of merch revenue goes to the team. Liberty Media owns the licensing around "F1" and race names and other properties and gets some licensing money from deals with merchants, but RBR can still sell "ORACLE Red Bull Racing Honda Tag Heuer" t-shirts all day long. Also, the merch king should always be Ferrari, no matter who drives for them and who drives for RBR.
  20. the real problem here is units of cups and fractions instead of using metric and decimals.
  21. 52-80

    Getting old sucks

    Wonder why they spend 8 years in school to perform that when they can do it for free behind the bush in Pease Park
  22. My guess is all the benefits will be retained , at least for a while , because Apple would want to maintain those perks and JPM's business can support it. GS' consumer profitability problem is they have twice the credit loss rate of JPM (unknown how much come from Apple card vs General Motors cards), and very high overhead and operating expenses relative to the revenue due to their smaller scale. JPM can run the card portfolio more efficiently, and probably better at credit assessment and collections.
