But I took the ultra conservative route unfortunately

I don’t think I would want to risk sitting through the weekend without my shares hoping to buy back lower Monday..
I would keep the top 5-7, average them, and throw out the rest. That’s going to be your “stock yardage” for that club.

Everything else going down are probably mis-hits of some sort. That data is useless imo.

I’ll guess that’s a 5 wood. Your stock yardage for that club is ~215. You don’t want to be using this club from ~190 yards out even though that’s your “average.”

re: 7 wood?

I replaced my 3i with a 7W. Perfect 250 club and gives me a little better gapping between 4i and 3W.

To replace a 5i you might consider a 9W..

Dang had my last kid at the end of Biden’s term. No seed money for us. I’ve already started on 529s though

If you live in a zip code with median HH income below $150k, any kid under 10 born before 2025 qualifies for the $250 seed money from Michael and Susan Dell.

I say squatted where others would say leveled. Same difference to me.

Yep. I love seeing people who “level” a truck make fun of squatted trucks.

Squatted is worse, sure. But you are both paying money to make modifications for aesthetic purposes only. It’s all pathetic behavior.

Still doesn’t answer my main question. What happens to the money the government FORCED me to contribute over the years?

Social security is a Ponzi scheme and it will persist in its current form until most boomers have passed on. Benefits will ultimately either be gutted or the age to receive them will go up, or both.
quote:

They can’t force you to pay into something and not compensate you back that money

Watch them.

Another issue no one seems to be discussing much is that the classic 60/40 portfolio in retirement is all but dead. You’ll need to take on more risk in retirement in the future due to the governments constant and ever increasing debasement of money. Bonds are dead. Own assets. It will be the only way to keep up.

I asked the question earlier and am looking for an actual answer: if spot price is way below current mining price, what happens if miners just pack it in?

Seems like someone in since 2013 should know this. If mining becomes an unprofitable endeavor, with costs exceeding the value of rewards produced, people will simply stop mining. As miners go offline, this will lower the hash rate. The difficulty adjustment will recalibrate and it will become easier and cheaper to mine new blocks.

So then the miners will return because it becomes profitable again.

But 90-99% lower than here? I think it's probably 75% chance that happens in the next 10 years.

I've been long since 2013

OG 13 year bitcoiner thinks there’s a 3 in 4 chance we go to near zero. Totally believable.
They have about 2.5 years worth of reserves to meet current dividend obligations.. but certainly if Bitcoin stopped rising long term they would be in trouble.
They will be solvent until BTC gets to sub $20k. Then they might be in trouble.

They can’t be margin called. People don’t seem to understand that.
We all know what this is about and yes it’s noticeable
Just buy a square or 2 and play the game like a normal dude… not some gambling addict loser trying to win a few grand as if it’s going to change your life.

I like not having a key dangling from the ignition. Key stays in pocket, I push button start the car

I like having a physical key so much I might never buy another car again. Literally might keep my 2014 for the next 50 years and just replace the engine or whatever I need to do to keep it running. Almost solely to avoid owning a push button start vehicle.
quote:

The tour would be absolutely fire right now if they could just blow this other thing up. Dominos are already falling.

I don’t see much chatter about it but the PGA tour’s deadline for Rahm, Bryson, and Cam Smith to apply to return is Monday. I know what they all said about it… but I still wouldn’t be surprised to see Rahm and Bryson return.

Oh so this guy's a retard. In 2012 you could get Bitcoin for $7. That means you would need to make $83,000 an hour to match a 2012 McDonald's worker's purchasing power.

The guy actually makes a very valid point. Bitcoin is not a fair comp here. Gold has been hard money for civilizations for thousands of years. Before 1971 the country was on a gold standard. You could exchange dollars for gold at a fixed rate of $35/oz.

And since that time the value of a dollar has been debased endlessly. You can take the last 2 years of gold increases away and his point still stands. Not $10,000 a week but about $4,000.

There are two options for online payment and one is clearly in big trouble. We’re not getting rid of the internet so that we can revert to payments in silver. So, what other option is there?

We need some sort of secure, global, monetary infrastructure. Bonus points if it requires no 3rd party.
Koepka beats “generational talent” Ludvig Aberg by 5 strokes in his return to the PGA Tour. Impressive stuff!

The dollar is dead.
This appears to be AI generated slop.
Hottest either BR or Dallas sometime summer 2023. I don’t remember what the temps were.

Coldest -20 in Colorado.
