What do you mean by portfolio? In particular, are you including the primary residence? (I'm assuming, if so, that the amount of equity in the house is what would be counted.) I understand the common practice is to consider primary residence as part of total net worth but not as part of investment p...

I just wanted to ask if anyone here has done a recent comparison between Fidelity’s HSA investment options and what’s available through other providers like Lively or Schwab. Some of the fund lineups have changed over the years, and I’m wondering if the fees and flexibility still give Fidelity the ...

Eh, who has time to watch a video? O0 Me! Under the right circumstances. If I'm doing reading / writing on the computer I cannot listen to anything with words. However, if I am doing work on the computer that is fairly repetitive, I can listen to words. Can listen to music while doing anything. Als...

There's this phenomenon that's starting to be named "luxury poverty" to describe a sort of inversion of the historical norm; now poor people can now afford the latest iPhone and a nice vehicle (at least through long-term financing) but there's no possible chance they can live in a good pa...

Studies show that .99738 of Vinny’s posts have very specific dates and statistics in them. But... the extra game in 1978 was on October 2, not October 1. It was a "very specific date", albeit off by one day, going by memory... I'm just giving you a hard time, Vinny, it's very impressive.

I find it doubtful that they are unsalable. Not easily salable? At any rate, I don’t expect the thieves have a lot of respect for the pieces as a whole. That only happens in movies. However, are there not always private collectors who don't care that that they are stolen and are willing to pay big ...

Nobody had gotten 4 extra base hits in the World Series since 1906. Nobody had ever been intentionally walked 4 times in a postseason game.

Ohtani did both in the same game.

Completely tangential: your mention of Meet the Press reminded me of the music "The Mission" by John Williams. It was commissioned by NBC News in 1985. The first movement contains the iconic trumpet fanfare used for the nightly news, and the fourth and final movement was (still is?) used a...

Gives a whole new meaning to a bi-metallic strip! (Which is a very useful way to detect changes in temperature.)

I think it was another request flood.

Don't worry, it's not a hard fork, it's just your money will vanish unless you jump through some hoops.

Really interesting video, Hal, thanks.

Fellas... Could we be civil please? Mathjak, regardless of how it's presented, could you consider that dockinGA might have a valid point about monopolizing conversations? dockinGA, your actual issues are being obscured by your rudeness and personal attacks.

Definitely pick a distribution that has KDE, so we can enjoy the fruits of our own Pointedstick's labor.

Sorry guys, it was probably overwhelmed by... somebody? For reasons?

Reasonable people can certainly disagree with him on the issues. But taking a step back, what he really believed was that the path forward was through civil discourse. He was an advocate of leaving your "bubble" and having healthy debates about issues. He was on Gavin Newsom's podcast rece...

The lights help it mine Bitcoin faster. It's a lot like what Clarkson calls "go fast stripes" on Mustangs.

That's like waiting for the Great Pumpkin.

Wow, Mathjak. Glad you're okay and sure hoping your wife's injuries are very minor.

Oh no! Is this a sign of a top?
