Read about Luigi Mangione yesterday. Hope he’s not related to Chuck. Comes from a very prominent Baltimore family. Forgive the word: privileged. Degrees in computer science and mathematics from UPenn. Physically fit. A lot of psychopaths are into him and drooling over his extensive social media pre...

Indeed. What a waste of a good brain. https://x.com/i/status/1866201337290956878 Collin Rugg @CollinRugg REPORT: Luigi Mangione, who was named a person of interest in the execution of CEO Brian Thompson, was valedictorian of the Gilman School in 2016.

@M: O0 - - - Christmas is getting crazily close! We just had a Christmas party at work last night. Instead of formal wear though the theme was Christmas PJs. What have you guys been up to this season? Just regular PJ's. Who wears PJs? Commando style dudes, Commando. Get with the program. Be wild an...

In case anyone here is actually behind me on this one. Turns out that he is a paisan. Obviously, a highly intelligent one. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/person-of-interest-in-fatal-shooting-of-unitedhealthcare-boss-brian-thompson-id-d-as-luigi-mangione-an-ex-ivy-league-student/ar-AA1vy8Gs?ocid=B...

Regarding your last line ("surprised"), I think this book is for novices. A lot of people on this site are well-versed in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and probably have little use for it whether they are for or against MMT. I haven't studied economics, so it looks like a good entry point ...

Oh man, *I* was going to buy that copy. Just kidding. I’m still going through both positive and negative reviews, but I’ll probably end up getting it. We have been forewarned that it’s repetitive. Here is how a friend responded to me informing him about it: "Mr. Book gave this an A+ in 2020. I...

Afro smiley?? O0 - - - The most recent LeShow podcast episode by Harry Shearer — an unlistenable show. Why do I bother? — has a guest who talks about the basics of raising or lowering interest rates. Probably beneath most of you, but just in case… Or in case anyone wants to pick it apart. Dr Stepha...

Schwab Bond Market Update for December 2024 "The market implied Fed funds rate for December 2025 has risen from sub 3% to the 3.75% to 4% area" If we stick a landing at 4% or just below... that's not so bad for us savers. T-Bills will be there, and I'm guessing most high yield bank bank s...

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. Yes. The younger brother was not caught...

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-cell...

There is intelligent speculation as there is intelligent investing. But there are many ways in which speculation may be unintelligent. Of these the foremost are: speculating when you think you are investing speculating seriously instead of as a pastime, when you lack proper knowledge and skill for ...

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? 1) I don't think I've ever told you, Dualstow, this ... but it's not been infrequent that the first time I've b...

Two more to lighten your load. ;-) * The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence until you have to cut it. * Remember, misery loves company but it hates competition.  Hope everyone is having an absolutely marvelous day. Made better when you provide us such humorous items. Thanks!

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?

Don't get your meat where you earn your bread. First time I am seeing this one. Original to you? No. I don’t remember where I first heard it. 😱 A Bing search reveals several references to it.

As of the last hour I am now an official active member of Bluesky after discovering that my favorite New York Yankees fan person has essentially fled X and is now seemingly exclusively on Bluesky as of 17 days ago. From nothing I now have 9 followers and am following 172. That contrasts with my X s...

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...
