The cameraman at 0:48 deserves a raise:

Well it looks like @Jolly was right.... 7am flights usually take off on time. But as you can see, the rest of the trip can be FUBAR. Sorry @Mik !

So basically it's a way to double down on your investments in a single stock. Nvidia goes up... you earn twice as much (I'm over simplifying), but when it goes down, you lose twice as fast. It's for those with a high risk desire... no thank you. I used to be more involved with stock trading (and did pretty well... by getting lucky with timing), but I have long since moved back to just investing in basically the S&P index. Nearly impossible to beat that over the long term.

And the article mentions YOLO... I feel like those who use that don't understand the real meaning of it, or in other words, YODO, too.

Just wait until you see the live action version of Song Of The South.

Funny trivia, that was the first movie I ever saw in the theater, with my dad. I only remember the zippadeedooda part and something about a briar patch.

LOL

I guess beauty is in the eye of the shareholder, but man if I was that rich I’d go for someone much more naturally attractive.

Very pretty!

Greek. Feet look extra weird after viewing this chart btw

This doesn’t bother me in the least.

It’s when they retcon generations old stories to put some black trans woman midget in it or whatever.

My kids watched the old Lady & Tramp movie earlier and liked it. Then they saw there was the new live action version from a few years ago. I forgot they cast a black woman as “Darling” (the wife) in the movie. So weird.

I’ve heard from astronauts that every single one would love to be stuck in space longer than expected. Now, I’d imagine after a few months the physical side effects will not be comfortable or as safe.

Not sure but if he lost the suit then it seems the law is on the side of POTUS

I didn’t realize until now I finally live in the Louisiana Purchase!

Very sad of course, unfortunately any types of these events have physical barriers these days now…

Apparently not. We don't have them here.

True. I should clarify in Virginia many events had some major shift barriers. I got used to trying to find the inconspicuous ones. Not so much here.

That was my thought, what ancient parasites remain within…

Very sad of course, unfortunately any types of these events have physical barriers these days now…

Oh I’d be so shocked at the ethnicity.

Now you can order a glass of water for 95 bucks!

BTW I'm not saying that is a reason to keep the government open. Pretty much each job I have departed I could easily see 20-30% of the team cut without any impact to the team's output, for various reasons.

Oh I meant longer term than that. I think there's like 3 million people in NoVa, of which 600,000 are either federal employees or federal contractors. Let's say the top 50% of the 3 million can afford a piano, you're looking at 40% of the local market no longer having the means to purchase a piano. Again, long term...

Buy any dips, it's like your favorite products going on sale.
