student math:
1-know arithmetic
2-watch 2x undistracted
3-read as long til you know the terms and rough terrain
4-watch 1x
5-r
1,2 and repeat 3-5 until you pretty much get it and then read until you totally do
extra credit-

I started by telling my children that souffle's require absolute silence to cook. I've since extended the statement to hot pockets and frozen pizza. IT IS WORKING.

“Success is built on a graveyard of failures. This sucks, and you should feel like it sucks, but someday it’ll make sense and you’ll likely be grateful it happened. This is not the story of you, it’s just a chapter, maybe even just a paragraph.”

Haha this reminds me of the Arizonan who got “NAN” as a license plate and was therefore assigned every traffic camera and toll violation in the state whose license plate couldn’t be read by image recognition 😂
@gfodor
The hands thing works, but it’s not “if they’re funky” it’s just to learn to be able to look down and see them.
I think all it shows is the largely arithmetic nature of language and the deep power of mathematics to model any “real” (ie observable) non-random process.
Shout out to
@neilhimself
for “Cinanmon.” Stumbled upon at library, it combines an introduction to beautiful prose and an entry for talking to kids about the bittersweet balance of life. “A nightmare in black and orange...”; gorgeous, useful stuff!

All unions exist to organize against their employers. Public unions by definition organize against the public. Not great.

Fun fact- Space Guild and Bene Gesserit were the same sect. Splintered, one went into spice mysticism, the other into spice as spacetime navigation technique. Bene Gesserit weren’t just breading for Kwisatz Haserach, bigger picture comes out in books 4 and 5. (Heretics/Ch-House)

-This actually cuts the deficit!
> Yeah, but you’re spending a bunch of money?
-Yes, though it cuts our deficit!
>Hmmm… so budget just goes down somehow?
-Yes, we are going to tax the shit out of you!
>Wait, couldn’t you just *not* spend all that money?

Put in two woodburning inserts to hedge fuel prices. *thank god* we did new windows and insulation last summer. (Seacoast NH, we used to go through 200 gal oil tank PER WEEK in cold snaps. 280 yo house.)
Man, answers phone: "Hi Honey, I'm a bit busy what's up?"
Wife: "I just wanted to check on you, they're reporting a car driving in the wrong direction on the freeway!"
Man: "One?! Oh my god there are THOUSANDS of them!!!!"

Adding not criticizing- “consumer prices” excludes housing, health insurance, and childcare; all of which have seen price increases well above CPI-U at least. Submitted respectfully, we don’t measure inflation for the median person well, for the poor it’s even worse.
Wealth is created by innovation and does not take success away from humanity but instead results from adding to the totality of it. Wealth is the result of improving the human condition, not hindering it. Parasitic “wealth” is the exception not the rule.

Bezos’ answer was great along these lines, “whatever wealth I have is a tiny fraction of the value that Amazon has created and allowed others to capture.” A great ecosystem allows all actors to come out ahead at the expense of some now defunct rent-taking middle man.
A year ago today we found out we were pregnant and we (she) had leukemia. Then the world went to shit. I married the best woman I’ve ever known and my best friend. I suggest you do the same. We have a beautiful baby boy and I’m the luckiest man on earth. Treasure each day. 🙏🏻❤️

I love that story of the Ruby on Rails creator who was sent a job posting that required 7+ years of RoR experience, 5 years after he created it. 😂

This is fake. Not confronting you, but you should know. Things are getting desperate when people are rolling out fake data on nonagenarians.
@farnamstreet
Where relevant, consider an old trader’s axiom- “What is the possible motivation/rationale of the person in the other side of this trade?” If you can find it, consider it. If you can’t, be worried/dig deeper. (In Munger - know the opposition’s argument thoroughly.)
“We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
Please be kind to yourselves and others today. One nation.

has been a hero and inspiration. As usual, Jim doesn’t disappoint. Beyond grateful, luckiest man on earth. THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️
Ok, I’ll just say it- you’re either for censorship or against it. Munger didn’t hurt your feelings, he gave his opinion. I’m long BTC, I don’t need to dunk on a 97 yo investing legend because I disagree with him.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (series,) The Dark Tower (series,) Foundation (series,) Michael Crichton (author,) Three Body Problem (series,) Robert Heinlein (Author.) All good books.

Patriots were up 7-3, now I look on Twitter and lamestream media is saying the Jets have 27?! I am claiming those fraudulent points for the Patriots!! The american people will not stand for this hoax of a football game!
@packyM
This was decent. I think PayPal is DeFi-esque, using the payment interface to form other business and customer relationships and business models. They probably lose the payment battle but win the full-stack services war.

I brought all my siblings through the orig trilogy sequentially, watching each multiple times before proceeding. When Ian was 6-7, we watched Empire and when the big fatherhood reveal happened, he turned to me in horror: “HOW CAN SUCH A BAD MAN BE A DADDY!!” Adorable & hilarious.

I used to do skydiving videography professionally. Keeping jumpers framed and visible is incredibly difficult with tail exits, even if your "hanging the tail," let alone backing out on foot... This looks hard and is WAY harder than it looks.

Dear Corporate America: You need to update your SM schedules. I got several reminding me not to miss this year's St. Patrick's Day extravaganza in Boston... Um, you're closed.
