Re: Wise words from Thomas Sowell

Based Sowell. Im curious about where gender discrimination is going to go. Men are openly denied housing opportunities (female-only housing ads). It doesnt bother me, but it is discrimination. Should we strive to be gender blind like we are color blind?

We just got a hammer in the kitchen when we installed a new faucet with side sprayer. Hammer hits when you turn the water on more than halfway.

Cat brought fleas. Seems like the eggs drop off where the cat sleeps/eats then a cluster of 50 erupts and attacks you. Hate to keep her outside, but not sure if the Advantage II is going to be strong enough, if she gets close to the strays outside

Re: Maximum Bond Upside

It looks like the fed wont let stocks drop more than 30%. A 1% rate change in EDV will move it 30%. You can balance the volatility, if they sell 100 year bonds you could hold less of them.

Its possible that eventually the 30 year will just swing from 1% to -1% like I suppose happens in Japan/germany?

Re: Carnivore Diet Experiment

It's not complicated. Eat less, or burn more calories (walk/exercise) to lose weight. If you don't want to do that, come to terms with it. Protein, fiber, vegetables, and a multivitamin. The rationalizations and fad diet chasing is trying to avoid the pain of eating less and the pain of re-wiring aw...

Vegetarian 30 years vegan 10. Food is a drug and it takes years to wean off the large dopamine bursts from high fat/sugar/salt/meat. You cut back a little at a time. Diet doesnt matter much tho, im ripped because i only eat once a day and walk 10 miles/week. Try coffee and tea instead of lunch.
