Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Congrats on bitcoin, Smithers. You can afford some big screens. It's been a year or so of great returns for sure. My Bitcoin position is much more conservative than it was, but it's still very significant. It's now in a proper variable portfolio consisting of: 33% Bitcoin 33% MicroStrategy stock 33...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
I am working on my laptop from a coffee shop today with the missus. We often do this as part of our weekend routine. It's a nice way changing our scenery, being together, while also getting work done. Tasty coffee definitely helps. Sometimes we even bring a chess set to play with on our breaks. I wa...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Unless your light switch is a meter square, that is a very large TV. 85"! It was so big that I couldn't even fit it in my car.. I had to get the store to deliver it to the house. ;D Based on Smither’s purchase and the subsequent comments, I purchased an outdoor drive in movie theater complete ...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
You can't really tell the scale from the picture, but this is a hilariously big TV.
(I guess the Mac Mini and game consoles are okay scale comparisons for those of you who have them.)

Re: BTC in the PP
A simple but serious question... do you think that Harry Browne would have approved of Bitcoin?
Would he see it as a complement to a portfolio alongside gold? Or perhaps a more extreme view that it was gold's replacement? Or maybe he'd reject it outright like Peter Schiff...

Base M4 Has Crazy Performance
I picked up a nice little base model Mac mini from the Apple store a couple days ago. I've hooked it up to our living room TV as a home theatre computer. As a base model with the plain vanilla M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD, I wasn't expecting much. But just for kicks, I loaded up the Residen...

Re: Do 30-Year Bonds Still Belong in a Permanent Portfolio? 🙀
We are using LLMs for everything at work lately, and it's being encouraged more and more. A lot of my job is just acting as a proofreader for LLM output for errors now. Sorry, but to the point about 30 year bonds in the PP... I've long said that they do belong in the PP, but only if the interest ra...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Have you guys watched 28 Years Later?
It's both bizarre and excellent. The style, cinematography, and the mood of the film is very 2000s -- in a good way.
Serious nostalgia and a very creative story (not your usual zombie fare).

Looks like I was caught up in the latest Microsoft credentials leak. Had an unauthorized login from an IP address in the U.S.
Looks like I'm going password changing today.

Oh, I didn't let you guys know... I actually ended up returning the 14" MacBook Pro and opting for the 16" variety. I was wrong... I missed having a bigger screen. Sure, it's less portable, so either way you're compromising in one dimension or another, but this a great little powerhouse: 1...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
In my hometown it's actually been unseasonably cold and rainy.
It was hot for a few days, like spring/summer had arrived in force, but now it's colder and wetter than it was in March. It's much needed though, as our province has been experiencing a lot of wildfires along with the associated smoke.
