  1. Where did you find this deal? My wife is going to ask the doc for it in a couple weeks at her next checkup. In case Insurance doesn't approve it, I'm looking at options to pay it directly. I'm seeing prices in the $1k and above range.

    Getting old sucks

    Google alfredson protocol for achilles tendonitis The exercise protocol has had a bunch of controlled science studies that validates it works. In a nutshell it involves doing an exercise that stretch the calf and achilles tendon under load (eccentric heel drops). I trashed my achilles tendon in a Half Ironman and after a surgeon couldn't help and a PT was clueless, I stumbled on this on the web. (It had only been published a few years earlier, so it wasn't all over the web like today). It worked. https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-alfredson-protocol-for-achilles-tendonitis-2696560
  3. If they wanted to give the folks turning right their own protected lane, they would have done away with the Yield sign and had a solid white stripe from the corner...They also probably would have not allowed the gas station entrance there. But as it is, Yield means yield to all traffic.
  4. As the quote goes, This is our concern, Dude. I know I'm overexposed, but I don't see an investment option that's even close. 18 months ago I had a diversified portfolio, and it wasn't doing jack. The realization that these stock were responsible for a huge part of the growth in the market led me to where I am. I feel like a gambler who won a good size pot and is now addicted. Triple digit returns has skewed my perception of what good is. I think my best option is to Update my lower sell limits orders again and sit tight.
  5. Any body else own the Magnificent 7 stocks. Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia). I own all but Tesla, as well as XLK and SMH sector funds which have huge percentages of those same. I've seem multiple articles like this one saying the party is over: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-the-magnificent-7s-momentum-is-collapsing-160309358.html Yes, they have had a correction and are almost flat the last couple months, but I still think they are all going to hit new highs in the next few months. Most are on fire today, except Meta thanks to Zuck talking too much on their earnings call. Curious what others are thinking about them. https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec
  6. 20-some years ago when I worked for a Fortune 500 Tech company, the VP of Engineering took 3-week visit to our offices in India. Nothing unusual about that, except he chose to ignore all the recommendations for Vaccines boosters. He got something nasty and was out for almost six months. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4896562/
  7. Qualcomm do something sleezy and unethical? No one would believe that.
  8. Qualcomm faces benchmark cheating allegations — Snapdragon X Elite/Plus benchmarks claimed to be fraudulent https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/qualcomm-faces-benchmark-cheating-allegations-snapdragon-x-eliteplus-benchmarks-claimed-to-be-fraudulent#xenforo-comments-3843099 The allegations: Qualcomm has not been forthcoming with detailed specs of their chip. OEMs reported poor performance with samples - sometimes 50% slower; other times much more. An insider at Qualcomm claims they cooked the benchmarking, Time will tell.
  9. Kyle, like San Marcos, Leander, and a few other places has decided that their best path to becoming a better place is to get big. Growth and development is impressive. But like most places, it's just the same stores and strip malls. Nothing new or interesting. Kyle bills itself as the Pie Capitol of Texas....all because of one store that has a big pie sign and mediocre pie. It's worth trying, but it's not going to blow you away. There is a big college stadium a few hours east of Austin named after a member of the family that founded Kyle. Cabela's is enjoyable to kill a couple hours in (if you're a guy). The Kyle Fire Department is very good. That is pretty much all I know about Buda/Kyle.
  10. I wish Trump would go away. I don't want him to get elected again. But the Fucking Democrats are running a guy who wants us to choose Freedom over Democracy. This was 5 days ago. You can't make this shit up.
  11. Just about everyone is head and shoulder above Trump. But Biden has to be on the same stage with Trump in one or more National Debates. You feeling good about those debates?
  12. Biden from 4 years ago isn't running in this election. His cognitive skills appear to have diminished far more than Trumps. He was always a gaffe machine, but have you heard or seen him talk (or walk) lately? He looks old, frail and not all there.
  13. If it were Trump versus any slightly moderate Democrat, Trump would probably lose in a landslide. But it's Trump vs Biden. FUCK ME. 350 Million people in the US and we have to pick one of these two.
