I would also encourage people to go to midnight showings of Tommy Wiseau's 'The Room' and watch as people throw handfuls of plastic spoons at the screen. Also fun.

You either lost money, or you lost time. If you are implying that you lost nothing because you didn't cash out and therefore can wait for a rebound, then you are going to lose the time you have to wait for the rebound. In economics that is also called an opportunity cost. You have now lost the opportunity to invest that money into something profitable because you have now tied it up in something that is unprofitable. You still lost. You are just too dumb to realize it with this mentality.

Worst case is when people with this mentality ride a stock to the bottom insisting it will just take more time to come back, and it doesn't. Then forcing the person to lose both the money and the time.

I miss HEB. family owned and private. Thus why they get away with treating their employees so well, paying them well, and supporting their communities all while also being the largest private employer in the state of Texas. That company is a great example of how a company can both grow to a large size and not be evil. If they ever go public you know all of its charm will instantly get cut in the name of shareholder value.

I knew a guy who swore by swimming goggles for eye dust protection.

I would love it if reddit clamped down on free speech. Please reddit, just lay it out on what else you want to limit. Let the people know what else they can't say. Or even better- force people on reddit to make mandatory posts praising billionaires. It would make my day. Please reddit, put more gas on your dumpster fire

I'm going to be honest here, as an American I fully support you in this and hope the best for Canada. Many of us totally understand the resentment and know that our government and republican party asked for this. I hope the boycotts work and I hope they send the clearest message back. At the same time I don't have much faith I our leadership to react rationally.

This article is written with some wild speculations by both the author of the article and the source they are quoting. When cell phones are cracked for evidence they have to use write blockers when they copy the phone. They do the analysis on the copy. The original is then re-copied in court to show what was found. This way the original is never tampered with and made inadmissible, and whatever analysis bullshit you did isn't mixed in with your court room copy. What this also means is that your AI can hallucinate all it wants and make up any evidence you can imagine all day long, but when you get into the court room and have to then point to where the conclusions came from and you can't-you will be standing there with a dick on your forehead and with a case being tossed out.

Looking passed the absolutely insane answer here, no one has even brought up the whole issue of AC vs DC. Batteries are DC, while your fridge that plugs into your wall running on AC. I know they make DC ones, but it isn't like they are interchangeable.
