re: If Elon hits his incentive stock compensation packages he would be worth $6 trillion

Elon gets companies valued at about 50 times as much as they should be worth. Like I see a Tesla on the road about once a month
When I travel to larger cities, I regularly see multiple Teslas on the roads.
You ever heard of a place called, "California"? Tesla regularly sells 1 out of 8 or 1 out of 9 cars in that small state.
They are also highly popular in the Northeast, known for its low population density and small number of cars.

You're just going to have to weather it or ignore it. I'll be with you if it continues after the game in Oxford.
This is a natural process at this point. Both sides get closure after that game.

Tha frick is wrong with you Doc? That wasn't a "lynching" issue. That is suggesting that they give these depressed folks drugs that do not work (or certainly do not work as intended or through the pathway the makers say) and some of them end up committing suicide.
Now, whether or not some of those depressed folks would have taken those final, irreversible steps without SSRIs is up for debate, but no one wants to lynch psychiatrists (except Scientologists, of course.)

People are still butthurt about almost literally nothing.
His job (IN ITS ENTIRETY) is to get the best 15 players he can and win as many games as he can with them.
Period. Full stop.

:lol: No, just think he did a great job directing both those shows' early episodes. He's a big reason why they are great.
Also, Scott Brazil worked on The Shield and his pedigree goes back to Hill Street Blues, more or less the grandaddy of these great dramas.
re: Basic math of Roth vs Traditional many get wrong

The growth/outcome between the two is a wash if the taxes are the same.
Well, this is misleading. Even if taxes are the same, Roth likely wins in control, flexibility, certainty. Traditional only wins if you are above 24 now, AND don't have enough runway to outgrow the current tax hit (or some other niche, typically tax or novel situations).
It is safe enough for me to say, without doing granular math and a deep dive, that if you are 24 or below, now, Roth will likely win in the end. However, as always, YMMV.

re: Study: recommendations for moderate exercise may be 3-4x too low for heart benefits
Posted by Ace Midnight on 5/20/26 at 12:33 pm to Ingeniero
There are other studies that show cortisol spikes if you overdo, particularly, cardio.
I always take this as cardio only. Exercise. Moderate to vigorous. Activity(walking and such) is lagniappe. Strength is lagniappe.
150 is my cardio target for the week.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I only note that Fuentes really shouldn't count. That's either a SPLC or IC plant.

I encounter this often from the "almost always choose Roth crowd." I'm a big proponent of Roth myself but it isnt always optimal. That said, when in doubt probably go Roth.
I think you're simultaneously strawmanning and arguing with yourself here. :lol:
There are reasons to do traditional, but they are narrow cases, IMHO.
And ROTH versus traditional isn't always purely about math. It is about flexibility, uncertainty and a certain amount of hedging (it's a risk balancer on top of the scenarios where it is clearly mathematically better).

One of the GOAT series premiers
Again I will plug Clark Johnson.
The sometimes actor (he played the ethical editor, Gus Haynes in the final season of The Wire, as well as Meldrick Lewis in Homicide), he directed the pilot and finale of both The Shield and The Wire (actually 3 of the first 5 episodes of both shows, so his style was really stamped on them throughout their runs), putting him in the running for greatest television director of all time, IMHO.

If you enjoyed The Wire and The Sopranos, you cannot help but like (if not love) The Shield.
However, I strongly encourage you to just watch it blind - DON'T LOOK UP SPOILERS. It will be much better that way, IMHO.

It doesn't get enough love/discussion in GOAT threads.
Held back by being on basic cable and having to adhere, generally, to "network" guidelines for profanity and stuff at the time.
However, as an overall product, it was very comparable to the usual GOAT candidates (HBO's The Wire and The Sopranos, plus Breaking Bad, Mad Men, etc.)
As great as Gandolfini was as Tony Soprano, Chiklis' Vic Mackey was oh so close to that.
