    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    As explained by a Dr I had once, over time your body's histamine system (which regulates what you are and aren't allergic to) can partially rotate. Which means you can gain and lose allergies over your lifetime, and most people lose them over time. When I was a wee Haus I was allergic to a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I handle all my mom's finances and my sister coordinates all her medical stuff... Recently I get a text from one of her Dr's (Cardiologist) about her owning over $400 for some scan. I look into it. The Dr's website says the insurance paid $5, the insurance website says it's paid $150 and the...

    Stargate SG-1

    Even with SG-1 being off the air for around 20 years now, it's still considered a very formidable mid-tier series on the platforms that stream it (although it doesn't feel impressive as it's around #250 all time on most lists of streamed series/content/movies). With that said Netflix's most...

    Investing General Discussion

    Interesting tidbit on the SpaceX thing today. It will trade on two exchanges. NASDAQ, and.... NASDAQ-Texas Maybe I just haven't run into it before, but today is literally the day I realized there is such a thing as a NASDAQ exchange that was Texas based.

    Depression

    As has been mentioned, things aren't always linear. Not even day/week/month is a win, sometimes not even every year. If you know what helps you get through the crap until you can start to make progress again there's no shame in doing what you know should help. The fact that you still seem to...

    Doctor Who

    Was reading the replies and hit this thought nugget.... Although Campbell has mostly retired from acting and almost completely from the con circuit as he's dealing with some medical issues IIRC.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This guy was telling us how his son learned the basics from a guy in his 30's doing it... And I agree, it will be a bubble, it will pop. So long as the kid is pocketing profits along the way he won't get hit too hard. It's the people who believe in continual doubling down thinking they're...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This topic came up in general chatter before I started a training session today. One guy talked about his son, who was 16, who had discovered flipping pokemon cards for cash. Who never played the game, never watched the cartoon, doesn't know Pokemon from shit. But told him "Dad, I heard about...

    What tickles your pickle

    Yeah, it's a benefit where I work (Premium partially subsidized by the company, like adding Dental or Vision in my benefits) But also my company is California based, so there's a lot of "Crazy Liberal California Sensibilities" in our benefits package. heh

    What tickles your pickle

    I'm debating it since the version through my company can be leveraged along with a weird "flex benefit" we get to essentially cover all of the Heartworm preventatives for two beasts, plus most of the yearly checkups, for far less than just paying.... at least it SEEMS that way.

    Yeah.. Pet Insurance is a real thing now it seems.... I'm really not sure what that says about society.

    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    So did a hypothetical exercise with Grok today.... Turned out better than I thought it would. Might use this strategy for next years stock picker contest. heh I present to you : "Texas Top 25 ETF" Limited to the 25 largest (by current market cap) publicly traded Fortune 1000 companies...
