Exactly. I had to cut my neighbor's fence, and now we enjoy the same grass.

True, but after the Boston Marathon bombers were ID'ed didn't the younger brother get away for a while? He was caught because the owner of a boat called police and said there was someone hiding in the boat in his yard under the tarp. Didn't even see his face.

Ok, this is the type of question I really want to answer rather than send you googling (Bing'ing?) I'll do my best. Facebook Messenger does not apply. That doesn't mean it's safe, but it's not a part of this story. Like, you, I'm Android and I text with many an Apple friend. (I often use a non-cellu...

Well I was going to post something here, but I'm too busy laughing about Vin's post at the bottom of the previous page, and boglerdude's response at the top of this one. Forgot what I was going to say.

Anyone have anything to say about the FBI warning against Android-to-Apple and Apple-to-Android communications?

Have you successfully gotten Grandma onto Threema? Your sister onto Signal?

I had both Fox News and MSNBC on for many hours today up until 6 PM but no news since. Has {the UnitedHealth CEO shooter } been caught yet? I'm amazed that he still had not with the emergence of the clear face picture of him plus the others. I know we’re living in the age of instant gratification b...

This makes me sad.

Ah, gotcha.

I must be reading it wrong. It looks like the blend of Total aka VTI and Smallcap (“Sample Portfolo” in blue) is very similar to but not as good as just S&P 500 (Green).

Congrats, man

Ah, that's good. Much better

This was the first time I ever heard his voice.

I read through this text. How in God's name is a fund that holds everything supposed to cross into undiversified territory?

I see there's a BHeads thread on it. Words of wisdom from nisiprius, as always.

Don't get your meat where you earn your bread. Hmm, that's a new one for me. Interesting. I heard something on 'Sopranos' which I think is very similar, but it's not really family-friendly enough to post. O0 - - - I just got a new PC. I am one of those rare birds that bought a PC after having Mac f...

Michael Saylor will be a guest on Fox Business today, 2:00PM EST, Charles Payne’s show.

I often don’t know exactly what’s going on in a boglerdude post, but I can almost always pick them out without looking at your profile.

I won’t quibble- let’s say I’m running out of steam O0 but I don’t think of younger generations as captives of the past. They make their own language. When expressions stop serving us, they do often die out. People have mostly stopped saying, “You belong in a straitjacket,” because the object isn’t ...

There must be countless examples of this- “even a broken clock is right twice a day” Most people use digital, and a fair subset of those are used to self-correcting cable boxes, computers and cellphones and not much else for telling time. “Just under the wire” “burning the candle at both ends” or “~...

from the main bitcoin thread; Don't mean to sound like a broken record , but I really recommend those Michael Saylor podcasts/interviews/speeches. He's the best statesman for Bitcoin in the whole world IMO. "Don't mean to sound like a broken record" When will that cliche ever be updated / ...

So three turkeys pardoned this year?
