I disagree that investing in the stock market is gambling with the caveat that many people treat it like gambling.

What I mean is that boring, defensive trading is a fairly predictable thing. Boring, stable and mature companies are typically safe investments that do grow over time and are a good way to protect yourself against inflation.

The issue is people want to maximize returns, even if expectations are unrealistic, and make risky gambles at unwarranted expected returns. Look at a company's profit, expenses, history and dont expect the future to be ideal for big returns.

I forward my port to my bastion host, and reverse tunnel to it when I want to access my stuff.

My router allows you to set a device in the DMZ zone which will let you use your routers IP as its address.

Its going to become an issue the more crap we throw into space for commercial reasons. All the satellites are ruining the ozone too.

To be honest, I have no preference, I just followed whatever order guide was on my crimper. Didn't seem to matter.

Oh no no! You're gonna want to smooth those babies out.

I'd rather live in a forest than ever use windows again. Hope they crash and burn.

I think about this often, and for me its a hard thing to let somebody I love go. If there's a chance I'd keep holding on- come as often as I can, read and so on. Unless I was told explicitly that they wouldn't want that. But even then, people change their minds. Like in the article, some people in non verbal states can communicate that they are happy enough. Heart wrenching stuff.

To properly answer this question one must look inwardly. To do that one should follow these steps:

  1. Stop using social media
  2. Explore your interests
  3. Support yourself financially
  4. Find a way to incorporate healthy food into your diet
  5. Exercise regularly
  6. Go out and meet people
  7. Make friends with people who will support you

Then ask yourself: 'Is looksmaxxing still relevant?'

Yep, says so in the article too. I think the difference is the scale of it.

That's awesome! I've been wanting to play a game like disco for so long now.

 

Thinking about getting one, what did y'all think? Looking at the Zeros.

 

Does anyone think that there'll ever be a simple EV car produced for market without all the extra junk found in most electric cars? Why or why not?

I don't see the need for the infotainment dash, personal data tracking, self-driving, lack of physical buttons, and lack or reparability.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an EV that is probably cheaper without all that forced extra stuff? Can't we just have a simple EV that has an electric engine that is reliable, cheaper, and doesn't have a need for constant software updates? Maybe you can work on it in your garage for the most part for simple maintenance.

I'd really like to have an EV one day but seems like they are all super expensive, have no sense of ownership like typical cars, are constantly tracking you, and are trying to shove extra features down your throat.
