@Horace said in Yes, You Should Pay Off That 3% Home Mortgage: But if one is not averse to investment risk, it remains a good financial decision to invest rather than pay down a low interest mortgage. Yup.

@Axtremus said in What If Russia Becomes Unstable?: https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/25/economy/russia-chaos-oil-global-economy/index.html The article linked above speculates on the economic impact, the tl;dr version seems to be "energy prices go up for everyone." Then there is also Russia's nuclear arsenals ... if there is not a strong enough central government in Russia to control those nuclear arsenals, what then? Kiss your ass good-bye.

How would one go about teaching that I wonder.

If true, and I have little doubt it is true, it proves that Prigozhin was quite right in assessing the incompetence of the Russian MoD. Their deployment to Rostov alone would have forced Putin to blink and offer the Wagner leader an open door. Possible that the Chechens were the only troops reliable and willing to engage Wagner. The Russian public would have never tolerated Chechen troops killing Russians in support of the president.

Saw that the other day. The ugly side of metrics.

And...after that, the U.S. Calvary hunted them without mercy...

When I closed out the morgue, I had a box full of bullets recovered from bodies. I couldn't find anybody to take them...Not the sheriff, the city police or the state police. Everybody said those cases had long been adjudicated and many were so old, the perps were probably deceased, anyway. They got melted down for .357 size semi-wadcutters and reshot.

in turn, I encounter no resistance whatsoever when I decide to attend black metal shows by myself My wife's a metal fan. Massive win.

@89th said in This day in engineering hubris: Is t3h tv still up? I require 1x updates Still up, and I'm not worried at all. I was careful to avoid hitting any wood studs behind the drywall, with the anchor screws. I know that can destabilize the home's frame. Also added a pullup bar to the top of the TV, so I can work out while I watch movies.

As I understand it, there are a lot of folks of Chinese origin. Mom and dad might feel right at home.
