@timecaptales @fasc1nate Wait, if 27 survived the initial crash, but 13 more passengers were killed by extreme hardships including the avalanche, then how were 16 eventually rescued? The math ain't mathin'.

@Super_Guluva @Morbidful You can listen to the cockpit voice recorder on YouTube. It's very harrowing to listen to, but like you said, you can tell the pilots really did everything they possibly could to try to save the plane & passengers.

@Enezator The car looks like it wasn't damaged very much. I once had a deer try to jump over my car like that and it came crashing through my windshield instead, partially collapsing the roof. Cost over $8,000 to repair!

@HonestLarry1 I think it was always a part of his racing strategy to fall behind in the early going and set his own pace to save something for the final stretch. I remember watching this live and thinking there's no way he can make up for how far he allowed himself to drop back from the pack.

@FluentInFinance I paid off a car loan early once. It would have been better to have kept it. The car loan disappeared quickly from my credit history once I paid it off. Now I always see a negative factor affecting my credit score is there's no history of installment loans, just revolving credit.

@saxena_puru There's so much attention paid to every tiny little contract win that $PLTR gets. Palantir has a current market cap of ~$42.7B and gets a contract win of $89.9M and it's considered to be great. Meanwhile $SAIC with a market cap of ~$5.0B wins a contract worth $3.6B.

@StockMKTNewz The Covid crash of March 2020 doesn't get as much attention as it should, mainly because we came back pretty quickly to hit all-time highs again. It's pretty impressive that March 16, 2020 was the third worst day in S&P 500 history. I'll never forget it.

@TheMaverickWS If a stock has run up to an absurd level because of its cultish following, what's wrong with the CEO dumping hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of shares to the cult? I've seen Karp do the same thing with $PLTR stock. They're just making a rational decision.
