Shit, just came to post that. Came up on my recommended and I had no clue what it was.

I'll caveat this with I haven't watched this yet and only read this thread to see if I should, but this seems a lot like Jason Bateman's MO lately. Just shows about total pieces of shit. Like he's either trying to absolve himself of some personal guilt, or admit it, or live out his deepest vices.

Yeah, it's pretty strange. But then I have to remind myself that the market still averages 10% a year, even with world wars and depressions. Yeah, usually that's because they bounce back *after* those events, but I think I still underestimate just how much momentum the market carries to new...

Yeah, enjoying it so far. Nothing really remarkable about it but it's funny enough for us to keep watching.

It's funny, I'm 7 and a half hours in. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but there's some severely addicting about this game. I can't put my finger on it at all, but it's good.

Absolutely, although I've only recently realized PTSD from 3 deployments kind of fucked me up and made it difficult for me to connect to people, leave the house in general, and be sociable. It's been hard to cope with realizing that the last 20 years I've essentially had no real friends outside...

C'mon man, he was "wildling extra" in a single episode of Game of Thrones. They don't get much more celebrity than that!

Did some quick reading, and basically every article says that spring predictions of El Nino are laughably poor, and you really have to wait until August or September. That basically these are just more "climate models" predicting doom and gloom.

Do you need the money in the next 6 months? Do you expect the market to be higher in the next year or two? If no to the first, and yes to the second, why would you exit the market? Do you know something that everyone else doesn't? Otherwise you're gambling on maybe a few percentage point...

I don't think I'm at the point where "work on your camp" is an option yet I guess.

Finished up the other games I had and went ahead and bought this yesterday. 3 hours in and I have no idea what I'm doing still. Game looks amazing though. And it's definitely got its hooks in me. I'm resisting looking up any information on it, despite the fact that I feel pretty confused by...

That's exactly what I was talking about. Everything always leaves out the earth and moon hurtling around the sun part. Which makes the entire prospect insane to me. Thanks for that.

That's kind of what I was also wondering about. I've got to say, if I were an astronaut that's putting an awful lot of faith in the math of the guys who plan the mission. Miss the moon's orbit and off into space you go.

Anyone got a good link to an explanation of how all of these moon missions actually work? I was really thinking about it differently today, and I was thinking I always see little graphics of it where it's on 2 or 3 planes, and essentially we just shoot a space ship towards the moon, do a loop...

That was us. Retired basically November 1st in 2021. Think we took a 20-25% haircut just 3 months into it. We've recovered and then some, obviously.
