A professor once asked if we knew what a pronoun was, and I asked if it was a noun that lost its amateur status.

Why would the drone differentiate an armed person from a civilian? I mean, you’ll be asking to separate out children next, at that rate!

Man, that would suck.

In my experience, turns at lights are the hard part, remembering what lane you are supposed to end up in.

After about 26 it doesn’t matter much any more.

So most people would get their money back, eventually. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per account, and they made the dangerous precedent of securing beyond that in a failed bank recently. The reason they did this is the disruption the collapse of a bank will have in the economy.

In today’s world, companies don’t have a safe onsite with 2 weeks of payroll - we consider the banking institutions secure and further, we leave accounts in the bank for even that little bit of interest. I’m a small business owner, and my payroll is left in my revolving business account, where I remove excess income to my personal accounts (again in the bank), and I have little cash on hand. Intuit pulls the payroll every 2 weeks and drops it in… the employee bank account. The only time physical money is held is when one of us pulls out cash for some reason.

So if my bank collapses, the FDIC will pay me back, but it will take a few weeks. The money I had sitting for payroll is lost until then. The personal money I had past that is likely in the same bank and tied up as well. I will have more money coming in from revolving income… except some of those customers might use the same bank, so they “have” the money to pay me, but can’t access it. So I can’t pay my employees, or my phone company, or credit cards… until everything is fixed. I’m a small employer, so imagine a $50 million company suddenly unable to pay out anything. The economy breaks down because we trusted the bank to hold all the money - and the bank collapsed.

It can be said that banks realize they are “too big to fail” and act recklessly investing, knowing they will have to be supported if their investments fail. I support a more seamless collapse process for large banks, so disruptions are smaller and society can function smoothly as they go under. Without that threat, they have no incentive to reign in.

We’ve used the sunk cost fallacy too long to give up on it now.

It’s always important to keep as much as possible in the something, but let people assume it’s not.

It took me a while to get used to the seat warming feature on my bidet, but now I target that bathroom on cold mornings.

It will be about a week until options come out. A put option simulates renting 100 shares of a stock over a time period, and collecting the difference between the strike price you pay for and the lower price if there is one. If the price ends higher, you lose the rent you paid.

Captain Cook finds Australia by following back on of their aircraft.

The first video was “Video Killed the Radio Star.”

Were there music videos at first, but now it’s all reality programming?

“Turn on the air conditioner” just took a different meaning

It’s a bit more complicated… you trade through a broker with trading rights on that exchange. Unless you are a power user on a bloomberg terminal.

Reddit could direct sell shares to a US resident, I’m pretty sure, as a first party sale.

This is bad news - hedge funds buy profitable businesses and immediately go to work cutting back services to pay the purchase cost down faster. Expect less customer service, less options, and higher bills incoming.

What, did you need something?

I’m really surprised the right isn’t more concerned people in your condition will look at their choices, their right to firearms, and decide if they’re going down, they’re taking legislators with them. That’s a serious concern when people are desperate.

Apple tv is getting desperate.

Just go to communities and select all… go shopping!
