  1. To expand, I bring up Barcelona because it is a big mixing/melting pot and very liberal city. My friend is Polish. Her girlfriend is engaged to a Venezuelan man. His mom still lives in Venezuela. She says "the people are thanking god for this and happy to be free again. It's a place with no infrastructure, not safe to go outside in the evenings." I am paraphrasing from her messages that I saw.
  2. I have friends in Barcelona. One is coming to visit in a few weeks. She told me the people of Venezuela living in BCN are celebrating. Imagine being a liberal American thinking you know better than Venezuelan expats

    Financial Geeks....recommendations

    What apy are you getting on the CD? I have long preferred high yield savings accounts over CDs. I recently found one paying 4.10 through Raisin who was also offering a 1k bonus on accounts opened with 100k+ with the bonus paying out after 3 months. even if it’s a slightly lower apy than the CD, the liquidity makes it preferable, imho.

    Time For GOTY To End The Year Of 2025

    I nominated him under his current name guy puts the most work into running edex, won the geek balls title this year and runs some fun pop culture drafts. Plus he got bannored for deleting threads in a drunken stupor. GOTY for sure
  9. you posted the X thing and the person you are posting is saying it becomes more obvious that Musk was doing a Nazi salute. So you don't agree but I am giving my opinion after watching said video. I don't see Musk clasping his heart, I see him awkwardly and forcefully put his hand to his heart and just as awkwardly and forcefully extend his arm out. To me, it's like he's just too excited and not really in his element. Mamdani extends his arm out as well, to the same degree and angle. Both of their hands are palm down at extension with fingers extended. Mamdani just adds the finger wave at the end, Musk says "my heart goes out to you".
  10. i have no idea what the bolded means. trolling? maybe. Trolling or genuinely being awkward... either way the Nazi stuff is and always was a huge reach. Everything about both men's gestures in the video is the same aside from the speed at which it's done and mamdummy's fingers dancing at the end
  11. when I see videos like this it's even more clear that he was NOT . I see an over excited guy on the spectrum doing the same exact gesture at different (and awkward) pace. I also can't keep track, do libs love or hate Musk right now? it's changed a lot.

    I was Right !!! I was Wrong ...

    It was not a great draft year for me and my success in leagues was almost entirely attributed to properly working waivers, free agency and trades. I was right that Seattle was the DST to pick in the last round of drafts. I was right that Fairbairn was the kicker to pick last. I was right that Barkley should not go ahead of Robinson or Gibbs and that Taylor would be a nice value. Right on Henderson in dynasty. ... and right that Rashee Rice would be a stud after his suspension if you could tread water until then. I guess also right about Drake London prior to the injury. Totally wrong on Kamara as a PPR value in round 4. Wrong about Calvin Ridley. Wrong about Mike Evans although that was more injury related. Very wrong about Justin Fields on the Jets. The Jets organization is probably more to blame there than Fields as they never used him correctly prior to his benching.

    Now that the fantasy season is over...

    Switch into baseball mode. Nothing needs to be done on your end for FF until after free agency and the NFL draft, unless it's simply to scratch an itch. If you have any dynasty leagues, you can focus on trading there.

    When do you sell your stocks?

    depends what kind of investor/trader you are. I have assets I won't sell because they are "buy it and forget it" and collect the dividends along the way. There are funds, there are individual holdings, etc. Everyone should have investments like this. I also have an active trading account which technically answers more of your questions. I don't sell when I need money because I don't invest money I will need. It would have to be a crazy emergency for me to need to sell any stocks I've bought in that account. Generally, I sell if a stock has made me a certain % within a certain time period and I feel it is due for a correction. Mostly I am jumping in on stocks that I feel have been oversold and dropped too much. If i'm wrong and they continue to drop, they become a longer term investment for me because fundamentally I believe in each stock I am purchasing so I am also willing to invest (and probably already am) long term in them. I don't worry about short term vs long term capital gains tax unless it just so happens that a stock which is up a certain % is also approaching the 1 year purchase anniversary. Then I may hold a little longer to save on taxes. So basically I sell when I have a certain profit, but there is also a profit to time ratio for me. When I sell, I take my profits and reinvest the original capital in my next oversold pick.... but that specific account is very much something I view as a secondary source of income. Actively trading is something i enjoy doing and i've made upwards of 75k/yr with that account.

    **2025/2026 Golf Thread**

    Nah I get it. It’s still effort involved. But if you have the vice adapter, all you need to buy is a roll of grip tape and a bottle of solvent (or mineral spirits). Put a drip tray underneath to catch the excess solvent and it will last forever.
