I don't understand why there is a bull market.

Wouldn't the latest CPI report mean that the FED is less likely to lower interest rates which in turn would mean the high APY cash accounts are going to stay in effect for longer? Meaning a 5% APY on liquid cash without risk.

The only reason I can think of is that Boomers are trying to maximize their retirement funds and not reading anything, not even headlines.

But this wouldn't take into account the large banks and firms that are really leading the bull run.

Is this really just because of the idea that there is a potential for "AI" to increase productivity?

None of it makes sense to me, but I'm not an economist.

I just used kagi to search for the conversion, and thought the long decimal was funny.

But now that I think of it, does Canada make it's own 4 L jugs so they can be accurately advertised or do they just use the US 1 gal jugs and call it a 4 L out of convenience but then write in fine print on the bottom that it's actually 3.79 L?

Unless that is actually a 4L jug of vodka, couldn't someone sue for misrepresenting the amount of product being sold?

Someone's liquid here is probably not precise. And I'm going to guess it's the one claiming to be a larger volume with an additional manufacturing cost.

No...that would be insane. 1 US gallon is only 3.78541178 liters.

This seems awesome, testing it out.

Just wanted to clarify something here about Canadians... So you put your milk in bags but your vodka goes into milk jugs?

In today's market, the perception or even the profitability of a product means nothing. All that actually matters is growth.

For a publicly traded company, or even one that just uses venture capital to start up; the product isn't the thing that they might sell to consumers, it's their brand. This is what gives them more capital to continue running the company and ultimately to profit.

This means that a company no longer needs to make good products, they don't need to keep customers happy, they don't even need to be profitable. All they need is to show growth opportunities to potential investors.

Wasn't Eve created from a man's rib as an afterthought?

Running Slackware as your daily is great for learning about linux.

Although I haven't used it in about 12 years. Is it still like this?
