Unless a Democrat is in office, in which case everything the government does is the most disastrous, evil, horrible thing to ever exist.

They don’t “think” in general. Abstract concepts and long-term consequences do not trouble their minds.

Clearly, meeting in the middle at $500,000,000.50 is the right price

Connect people back to value systems instead of aggressively debating specific issues.

For example, when we think about Jesus Christ’s teachings, why are we erasing the nation’s historical decision to help the poor, sick, and hungry - an action executed by the most greedy, vain, and boastful people on earth?

if you do that, the risk is that you miss out on buying at low share prices during the slump, which will be the lots that show the highest return when the market heads back toward normal.

The periods of fastest gains are usually immediately following a downturn, so selling your holdings when you hear bad news about the stock market going down, is exactly the wrong thing to do.

If you believe that The Trump administration policies represent a foundational destabilization of the American economy, which is a reasonable take, you might make the choice to diversify into more international funds.

AWS S3

Can you briefly describe how you’d fit the two together?

First few things I can think of are: haze in the air, not-pefectly-clean (including scratches) or not-perfectly-shaped optics, or light reflections inside the optical path

I just set my ecobee to “auto”; the only possible inconvenience is the required gap between heating setpoint and cooling setpoint so it doesn’t constantly flap back and forth as a result over overshooting the setpoint. I have the gap set to 3 degrees and tend to shift it up and down seasonally (e.g. heating setpoint at 72 and cooling setpoint at 75 in the winter, heating 69 and cooling 72 in the summer)

Insolation and air infiltration based on wind conditions likely affect loss as much as outside temp, and the thermostat doesn’t know that (it could presumably learn to relate time of day, cloud cover, day of year (solar angle), wind conditions with that - but it would take 2 years to learn and its response would be opaque - most homeowners want bang-bang control since they understand it.

If this bothers you, you can short an amount equivalent to your index fund’s holding. But you’d have to track and maintain parity against the proportional allocation of the index fund as Tesla’s market cap changed and you invested more into the index.

that’s some interesting looking pho; giant piece of steak rather than thinly sliced beef, can’t say I’ve ever seen mushrooms or cilantro, and a whole star anise pod, wow

I gave up on cute or clever names a while ago; now I go with “storage0”, “router0”, “wap00”, “vmhost0”. Always with a numeric suffix because there will be a -1, -2 some day.

So they DID happen!

And most of the media went right along with wording such as “tariffs on China” rather than than “tariffs on US buyers”

Now, will you repeat the disinformation?

In previous “eras” a color TV consumed 500W and the living room had several hundred watts of lamps. Window AC units and electric heaters certainly are not a recent invention.

Maybe there is more stuff plugged in, but it is. ot drawing more than before

maybe get a lanyard to reduce the snatch risk.

If you have an apple device, I believe you can lock the phone remotely via the “find my” app on another device or through Apple’s website. Not sure about Android.

There are 14 GMRS frequencies. How soon do you think they would become unusable if even 10,000 casual users in a metro area all went and bought 50W radios?

Imagine hundreds of thousands of uneducated users, even 5 year old children, who could just “punch numbers in” - this is what the Baofeng debacle opened up.

Well, they can seize a lot of things because of reciprocal anti-terrorism money laundering agreements with most of the countries you’d want to trust with your money.

resources aimed at wealthy people offshoring their assets might be useful to you

well, first you would need to set up a brokerage account outside the US, and move your money over to it…

For now, though, you can invest in an Ex-US ETF, Vanguard has one that is essentially the total world stock index minus US companies. https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/veu
