That's an impressive cost/mile. Since I bought my current vehicle I've driven it just under 7k miles a year and I spent an avg $1760/ year. So, 25 cents/mile vs Vinny's 23 cents/mile. And I haven't even had to get a new license. I didn't include depreciation, which is usually my biggest cost related...

I remember trying to get people to just email me instead of texting me back when I was on a smartphone with limited texts and no data (I could just connect to ever-present WIFI and check emails, kind of a proto Republic Wireless concept). For some reason, telling them that they can write an email on...

Typing and using a fingerpad or mouse is so far ahead of any touchscreen, I naturally follow Cal Newport's recommendation to keep even your smartphones mostly dumb. That said, I use swype when I have to write something on a phone. It's much quicker than thumb tapping.

Closing schools makes no sense anyway. Yes, colleges may end up with a bunch of COVID infections....but SO THE HECK WHAT????? Every college has things like mononucleosis and flu running around, and COVID will be just another one in the mix. You can argue that mono is a lot worse than COVID for this...

I listen to Jesse Felder's Superinvestors also.

I just listened to his podcast, with Bill Fleckenstein and it was pretty interesting. Mostly talking about central banks.

His podcast with Raoul Pal was good too.

It seems pretty goddamn wild, but I'll keep my vanilla PP, and I'll nudge my VP every once in a while. If I had a 100% VTSAX portfolio like so many people nowadays I'd be more nervous knowing stuff like this.

I saw an advertisement on YouTube recently that included Paul Krugman as the instructor in economics for the Masterclass series. Immediately I went "Ummmmmmm. Nope."

Friday, May 8, marks the 50th anniversary of one of the uglier incidents in New York’s history Oh man, this sounds horrible, was there a string of mass gang rapes, or a series of torture killings??? in a year that was one of the most tumultuous in recent US history. In front of Federal Hall and und...

There's something to what mathjak. . is saying too. Having a safe and secure PP combined with a VP that can be more aggressive when you want it to be is the way to go, IMO.

Hot and muggy here in NYC today. I went outside for a walk early this morning, before it got too hot. Heading out of town for a day trip tomorrow. I was checking out cars on the walk too, as I'm considering buying one. Between the endless lockdowns/remote work and the breakdown of public transporta...

Was on a mission to drink martinis but all of the bars were quarantining But after one round with Ole Corona I caught myself throwing rocks through glass And after two rounds with Ole...
