Yeah, I think if they hadn't tried to break the boycott / subreddit blackout, I might have stayed. But, reddit had made it pretty clear they didn't really want me around, since I was holding on to the old interface and RES for dear life, even before they attacked the API.
$dayjob gave me an email, but they are the only ones that use it. My primary is a GMail, though I really should switch to a less crappy provider. I run my own mail server, all my GMail is just forwarded there, but it's not my primary because too many people were having problems sending or receiving mail though there.
So, 3 or less in practice.
I also have a half-dozen variant usernames at GMail and can trivially create as many as I like on my own mail server. So, unbounded in theory.
Vocabulary question X + shell + powder = bullet, what is X?
Because usually the threat is that X will be delivered through use of powder the destination of the shell is ambiguous but not included in the delivery.
When you deliver while (unfired) bullets it's generally not considered a threat.
The DJIA (e.g.) isn't "the house". It isn't something you are competing with in that your losses are its/their gain. You are misunderstanding both investing (in general and the stock market specifically) and gambling when you make that confusion/analogy.
Not beating the market but having positive returns is only "losing" when infinite exponential growth is the goal. Beating the market but having negative returns is not "winning".
Just because you are wrong about your expected value calculations (or were right but the actual return was on the lower end of the range) and have made a bad investment doesn't change the fact that it was an investment because you were doing it for the returns.
In short, performance doesn't matter for this distinction, at least IMO.
The other suggestions are probably better, but you can technically self-host Wire (from Wire Gmbh) but I've never done it successfully.
Cube theory clearly established that hot dogs are tacos. It's all based on the location of structural starches.
IMO: When you do it for the entertainment/feeling/rush, it's gambling. When you do it for the returns, it is investing. I also think the other poster that mentioned investing as being interested in the success of the endeavor, that would exclude shorting and I think might be a useful distinction.
Casino games and sports betting all have lower expected value (probabilistic value) than their cost, so they are not something you can do for returns (you have better expected returns by not participating).
There are plenty of people that are misinformed, dishonest, or stuck finding a bigger fool that will sell you a gamble by calling it an investment, and expected value is not guaranteed value.
My quinoa, beans, and almond milk diet scores well. My popcorn snacks don't, but I'm not focusing on macros there, but rather volume/kcal.
Born 1980. I don't have a traditional wallet, but I do carry a combination card holder (which has my ID) and money clip. I think some people are simplifying that to ID in pocket and all payment methods on phone (tap or app).
Generations are mostly BS anyway. Carry a wallet or not according to your needs and preferences.
I've given up. Especially with my new address (same state), I don't think any of the races are even close.
I voted as hard as possible until (and including) 2022, but Dobbs hurt, and this latest round of SCOTUS rulings and it is going to be harder to get to a voting station. It just doesn't feel worth it.
