Oh, and if Sherpa's run up and down the mount like kids at Monkey Hill, what's the big deal with white people flipping out over making a single summit?
Knowing red bull they paid to keep everyone away.
Considering he did it without supplemental oxygen.. the Sherpa isn't stupid enough to do that lol

46 countries in Africa will have starlink by 2026.
Most urban areas in Africa are dominated by mobile, which has Internet.
Not sure starlink is changing much there, but rural areas could be massive. But that's a limited use case.

guess I should sell all my ATT stock.
LEO satellite Internet not really a competitor for hard wired companies like ATT.
There are targeted more at rural areas for now and other specific mobile use cases.
Generally you can get cheaper, faster and more reliable Internet from your local provider if you can.
That being said ATT as an investment is another story

Pretty good deal for those in rural areas.
Amazon's project Kuiper service will start rolling out soon as well.
Competition with be great for consumers. Rumors they will offer 400mbit around 50/mo

$15-$!8/lb for choice ribeyes are pretty standard these days
yea was getting a little surprised at people not pricing steaks by the lb.
Costco was usually between 14-17/lb for prime ribeyes
They are now between 26-28/lb, massive increase in the last few months

Red bull funds some crazy stuff

Ski mountaineer Andrzej Bargiel becomes the first person to climb Mount Everest and ski back to Everest Base Camp without supplementary oxygen. After nearly 16 hours climbing in the high altitude “death zone” (above 8,000m where oxygen levels are dangerously low), Bargiel clipped into his skis on the summit of the tallest mountain on earth and started his descent via the South Col Route. He reached Camp II that night and rested - the summit ridge and Hillary Step had taken longer than planned, meaning darkness made it dangerous and difficult to navigate further that day. The next morning, he skied through the treacherous Khumbu Icefall - guided by a drone flown by his brother, Bartek - before safely arriving at Base Camp to become the first person to ascend and descend Mount Everest on skis with no supplementary oxygen.

That makes sense. The people complaining about this aren’t familiar with the concept of sense.
Let us know how many people refi down to 15 years... It's not many.
Most stretch their budget to 30 and once they get any equity they cash out refi to pay down their stupid car loans and credit card debt.
This will just enable more consumer debt

50 year mortgage is great for the banks...
Government interfering once again with homes, this will drive up home prices massively.
you dont understand this will just stretch what people can afford..
Home prices would go up massively if the 50 year mortgage is allowed

I have been told by many on this board that investing in broad index funds such as those that track the S&P500 is for old people, and has poor returns.
Its no wonder that most "traders" lose money
