Sorry for your downvotes! I follow a lot of FIRE (Financial Independence Retirement Early). All blogs and else have still continued to recommend the 3 fund portfolio. Which includes US stocks…

Admittedly, idk if there’s been a national shake up before in history but all financial peeps advising to stay the course… Historically, despite everything in past, its been solid.

This is sort of why I can’t watch it. I appreciate the realism but it felt like being back at work. I watch TV to decompress. Props to them for getting medical right though!!

Agreed. I’ve also seen a lot of hits (and sometimes runs ) in San Francisco. I haven’t seen a Waymo hit anyone yet and they have been able to navigate people parallel parking on the street. Waymos are not the best but they haven’t hit anyone and def know how to drive better than the average person in the city.

As someone who works in the bay area California. The Waymos are unfortunately better than most human drivers. It is noticeable…

Curious as I am not aware myself, what are some good open source games out there?

Agreed. The technology is still new, evolving, or not there yet. I was at an aquarium only last month. They were showing me a machine where there are only 7 available in the US so far. The scientist only got it like 3 days before I spoke to her so she hadnt used it yet but it measures concentration of microplastics in the ocean and is specific enough to tell you what different microplastics are there and their likely sources. Really cool but this science is super new and in its infancy.

I’m not a JD fan but I don’t really quite understand how and why she is representing China. She is Chinese American yes but per Olympic rules, she has to have citizenship in the country she is representing but it doesnt seem like she does?? China does not permit dual citizenship?

Whats to stop other countries then from bribing other top athletes to represent them?

Happy Lunar New Years. A lot of Asian cultures celebrate, not just Chinese.

The story behind the food, drinks, and money behind our ancestors is really interesting. I didn’t know that the process lasts days and there’s a whole “journey” until I was a little bit older.

I’m an atheist myself but I still join in on these things. While I’m an American born it makes me feel closer to my family as they have always done it… Also who doesn’t like red envelopes and well wishes for each other? I don’t get red envelopes anymore but that’s how I approach respectful people of different religions. Just engage and send my well wishes too. Celebrate and smile and learn what they day is about.
