Boy, this all sounds like a lot of work to me. I just invest in domestic index funds and check it every six months or so.
I have at least started being much more careful about waiting a year for capital gains, though. My last tax bill was terrifying.
I watched this on Disney+ tonight but didn't really care for it. There were a couple good laughs, but the multiverse stuff really ruins just about anything it touches. The movie also just seemed too mean spirited toward the classic characters, which I guess it signaled clearly from the very first scene. Let them be.
Edit: I guess I hurt an MCU fan's feelings by not loving a movie.
Tom Cruise is a bit like Harrison Ford. They're both good actors, but most of the time they're playing themselves. Or maybe they both have such a force of personality that you only see the actor. Harrison Ford has also had films where he does a good job disappearing into the role, like Mosquito Coast and Regarding Henry.
But those were like 1.0.1, 1.0.2... where the Special Editions would be 2.0. I don't know that anyone really cares about the "mini" version changes. When they talk about the original, they mean 1.0.x.
This is it. Democrats will continue to talk about how they failed at execution so they don't have to talk about the real problem: their platform. At least with Trump some folks think there's a chance he shakes apart the whole system.
I voted for Harris, but I knew it was a lost cause from the moment she became the de facto nominee. She was a status quo candidate in a change election.
It's the most evenly divided district in Oregon in partisan terms and she ran on a "bipartisan" theme. She'd be pretty hard-pressed to make her case.
The Republicans were absolutely inundating the district with the most vile stuff, like how she "voted in favor of rapists." They dramatically outspent her campaign.
I'm really happy she won.
This is exactly right. Having worked in these environments before (and currently), no one wants to stick their neck out if their head is just more likely to be chopped off. As a result, only the projects that are least objectionable to a committee of decision makers (so formed to reduce risk) move forward.
Every time I see "backlash" in a news headline it's always just Twitter culture warriors who are always angry about something
The same way you beat any game in the 1980s and early '90s: lots of pattern memorization based on trial and error. In the arcade, that means lots of quarters.
Once a game like Dragon's Lair was memorized, you could play through the entire thing on only a couple quarters, to the astonishment of arcade bystanders.
Kids and teenagers had more time back then because smart phones and Instagram and YouTube didn't exist. People underestimate what a huge time sink those can be.
No one had Internet access. You could play a game, play an instrument, read a book, go to the mall and the arcade and maybe catch a movie, go outside, or watch whatever happened to be on the 3-4 network TV channels (or possibly cable if your family had the money). And TV back then was mostly terrible.
So if you had $10 in your pocket, that was an entire afternoon of entertainment at the arcade and movie theater.
“Making this change gives us more space and opportunity to bring customers new and innovative tech for them to explore, discover and enjoy.”
Yeah, because that's what I think when I go into a Best Buy: "they could really use more space."
Built my first web page with FrontPage back in the mid '90s... but soon stopped using it after I realized the absolutely spaghetti it produced
