Re: Nothing?
No one put anything at all here yesterday, Wednesday? Was there any kind of malfunction? Or, was it really no one having anything at all to say here yesterday? I do not think I'd ever prior seen such a day. The horror of the day before must have had something to do with it. Maybe. But, on the other...

The Math Prodigy Whose Hack Upended DeFi Won’t Give Back His Millions
The Math Prodigy Whose Hack Upended DeFi Won’t Give Back His Millions An 18-year-old graduate student exploited a weakness in Indexed Finance’s code and opened a legal conundrum that’s still rocking the blockchain community. Then he disappeared. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2022-05-19/cry...

Then what happens when your next party betrays or even disappoints you? You go back to your former party and, so on? Gotta pick your battles, Vinny. Whatever issues are most important are what you should vote on, in my opinion. So yes, you might end up back in your old party. Why not? As I stated, ...

Re: Backtesting the PP all the way to 1971?
I admit this qualifies as a shameless plug (and I promise not to make a habit of it), but another option is to try one of my new standalone backtesting tools . You'll have to supply your own source data, but the individual PP asset histories aren't too hard to dig up and you also have control over ...

Re: Washington Journal
It's like that recent viral video of Bill Maher saying something like, "I didn't change, the Democratic Party did." It’s funny to watch extreme leftists on twitter call Maher a traitor. Lord forbid he should think and speak for himself. Same as the extreme rightists in their treatment of Chris Wall...

Re: Washington Journal
Reducing gun violence does not necessarily mean taking away gun ownership rights. As usual when I have Washington Journal on I'm doing one, two, or three other things also so I'm only hearing bits and pieces of it. But the two things that stuck out regarding guns was that when someone brought up wh...

No, you’re right, joypog. It has totally been a libertarian hangout. But, enough members have left that it’s hard to tell where the majority is. Definitely not far leftists, of course. Still definitely not even close to being over the liberal / conservative line in some way. There are some liberal ...

People have complained several times that this forum is run by or dominated by liberals, but I think you have chosen two funny topics here (for the gyro forum). i would wager the majority is still pro gun ownership rights (I am, even though I don’t own a gun) and tired of race stuff. Not racist, bu...

Re: Inflation - What are you doing different
I'm sure iBonds play an important role for those in the accumulation phase of life. What do you all think are best ways in high inflation periods to hold assets for those old geezers like me who aren't employed and are well into the distribution phase and primarily just want to minimize risk and ke...

C-Span's Washington Journal is on from 7 AM to 10 AM every single day of the year. I'm an addict regarding it. I have it on every morning. There are tons of good segments.

For whatever odd reason I suddenly felt the need to listen to Guns and Roses. What the hell does that say about my current state of mind...and the world?

I started paying the $20/year to Google a couple months ago for 100GB. Why I was even concerned about $20 a year I don't know.
My pictures use over 1 TB of space. I think they set the limit at 1 TB for free. So those first ones I've left there with the newer ones not there.
