Re: Reasons why I will not be getting injected for the Wuhan
Another fun fact is that at least one pharma executive has not submitted himself to his own experimental program. Something about a cook who won't eat his own food... There's certainly a smidgen of skepticism across the spectrum. I saw recently that among Chinese front line medical workers, less th...

Following M3A1 Grease Gun #750213 Through Vietnam
This was a cool article. I know there are some Nam vets here. Combat Marines are full of sea stories. I’ve heard and loved many of them, even the ones I knew weren’t true. But of all the noteworthy sea stories I’ve heard, the one about three combat photographers who shared a captured-and-then-captur...

Re: Back to School Blues
This week, Matt Meyer did what many parents long to do. He dropped off his kid at school. That’s unusual in Berkeley, California, where he lives, because the schools there have been closed for a year, and the teachers’ union adamantly opposes their reopening. Parents like Mr. Meyer who can afford p...
Re: Dr Seuss
Incidentally, when looking for children's books for my niece & nephew, I eventually decided on a very old book for the niece (from the 30s, IIRC. They already have every Dr. Seuss book), and one by Jocko Willink for the nephew. Contemporary children's books are complete fucking garbage.

I've never thought about it before, but it is sad that German-speakers can't really enjoy Downfall memes.

The cancellings are being enacted quicker. There seems to be zero ability to ignore mentally ill Twitter users. Truly a sad time to be an American.

Re: Signatures
One horse can carry 125 kg on its back, but it can drag 2500 kg on a cart. If it pulls a barge along a river, it can drag 30,000 kg, 30 tonnes, and it can drag 50 tonnes if the weight is on a barge in quiet water, i.e., on a canal. Have any mule stats? I’m kind of into mules and donkeys. Don’t quot...

Re: Mars
kgb secretly loves when people rag on the government, he brings it up every chance he gets.
It is cool though. Would only be cooler if SpaceX landed their own rover and we had a Battle Bots fight to the death. But still, this is an acceptable level of coolness.

Re: Volcker
I just wonder how you get inflation without rising wages...yes, I know they are talking 15 an hour minimum wage...we'll see if that passes.Even still, at 15 an hour once you back social security, medicare, health insurance, fed and state taxes out you are left with just enough to rent a small apart...

Re: Best Deal right now on Gold
$14/oz over spot: https://www.gainesvillecoins.com/products/154671/pamp-suisse-100-gram-gold-bar Thats an incredible price but it is 3.2oz. Its going to be a lot less liquid if you ever intend to sell so your bid/ask spread might be higher. Still, if you've got $5,700 to plunk down on gold it's a g...

Re: Wikipedia Is the Last Best Place on the Internet
IMO, even if people were editing the articles in good faith, Wikipedia's format is doomed to fail (or, become more disconnected from reality, some might not consider that failure) because their sources are shit. That said, I suspect that articles about sage grouse or other innocuous subject are safe...

On the other hand, you have people like Gregory Clark, who has the best non-fiction book titles of anyone*. He's done a lot of work on how the overproduction of elites, particularly in England, filtered down and was probably one of the main reason for massive progress. * All Hemingway puns: A Farew...

I saw that, definitely a lot of cocaine.

Owning individual bonds has been pretty easy, and you avoid the ER. TLT is obviously easier because you won't have to sell them every 10 years, but you pay an ER. Vanguard didn't process my sell order for individual bonds back when they were at their peak in 2020, I don't think that would happen wit...

As far as I can tell, Cullen is saying that you can do MMT, as in, it's technically possible to implement. But you'll eventually get inflation/Bad Things from it.
