Don’t forget quicksand… I spent all my childhood afraid of falling into it. Somehow it was an unwarranted concern.

Exactly. But keep in mind that those are different things. Treasury bonds carry very little risk of losing money whereas investing in index funds/ETFs can lose you money.

Yes and good luck finding a 8% treasury (and please let me know if you do) 😆

What a silly post…

First, where are you going to find a 8% treasury bond? Even a few months ago, when they were giving record yields, it didn’t even get close to that.

Second, if you borrow $3m with high interest rates (needed to get high yield treasurys) you’ll also pay a high rate on your loan. Duh.

It’s a circus out there…

One of my financial institutions supports yubikeys, but does not have the option to turn off sms 2fa. A chain is as strong as the weakest link, as usual.

Another only has sms 2fa and bizarrely allows me to specify any phone number at login time to receive the code. WTF?

Most only have 2fa via sms. When you talk about using an authenticator app people removed and moan because they have to cut and paste those digits into the login page. Oh, the humanity…

Don’t even get me started on sites with “roll your own” schemes, like forcing you to install their app (which requires all permissions under the sun) just to accept a push message and allow you to login on their website.

Ever noticed that in every movie, when they show scenes of Mexico, the camera white balance is set way too high to produce a very yellow image?

If they really want me to install a heat pump, please go knock some heads at PG&E. 30 cents per KWh makes it really hard.

Uh oh… Looks like someone chose the $5 option…

Well, they’re coming here to cast illegal votes for Crooked Joe Biden /s

It’s all so sad yet they hammer it so hard that even my Trump hating friends believe this caravan bullshit.

I’ve worked extensively with both virtualbox and kvm/qemu. While I prefer kvm since it’s open source, I could never reproduce the video performance of virtualbox. I’m not even trying to game, just use regular applications that I cannot run under Linux.

I wonder if I’m missing something.

My favorite religious saying is “God helps those who help themselves”. This is a bit like that old story of the pill that kills your thirst, but you have to take it with a cup full of water.

Absolutely they would. But mind you they only feel this power rush when the other side is unarmed. Put three of four black dudes with guns and these cowards will shit their pants.

They love to LARP.

Probably better than at&t in the middle of the city.

We should make sure it’s also unconstitutional to block guns at:

• Courthouses
• GOP conventions
• Political rallies
• NRA conventions

Unity, Google, Discord. All within a day or two of each other.

For every number of employees laid off, a VP level employee must be fired. Those employees didn’t hire themselves. Someone came up with the idea.

If companies don’t do this they’re not attacking the root of the problem.

Unless it comes from space. Then it’s measures in Texas sizes.

I honestly never used it. Isn’t it the same as something like alt-f which will open the file menu?

Nimarata Randhawa Haley must be shitting her pants…

Community WiFi. That’s a way to increase adoption I guess.

Another useless key? Use Scroll lock or SysRq for that. Or even better, reuse that stupid “menu” key. They’ll cram one more key to the left of the spacebar and make ctrl, alt, and windows keys smaller. Or change their order.
