Apt analysis! I don’t disagree with anything there. I think there some lack of confidence in the business with the recent executive changes that may impact S1 more than anticipated, but only time will tell on that part. Frankly I’m just a little salty I never got in on the CrowdStrike hype way back when…crazy that it could have been a generational wealth machine if I had just yolo’d my 401k into it 😂😭

I’m comparing different dividend funds for that and will leave my current growth portfolio be (still will trade around it when I can, just lack the time and focus to do it well rn.)

There is one now, actually. We've hit a sweet spot where launch costs have diminished & we've confirmed the presence of large volumes of ice in permanently shadowed craters. Water is a kind of miracle fluid, not only because we need it to live and farm, but also because it can be electrolyzed into rocket fuel - the lack of ice found in the Apollo missions was one reason we "gave up" on the "anhydrous" Moon. The Moon now looks like the perfect cosmic gas station, where mining ice will play a pivotal role in missions further out. But it is more than that, too. There's a lot of potential with building a Lunar economy. The lower gravitational field would be a boon to any kind of logistics or heavy industry, with workers and machinery able to carry six times the payload they could on Earth. One industry in particular would truly benefit from this - fiber optics. Fiber cables are made by allowing a bead of molten glass to fall several stories, forming a long thin cylinder of glass behind the droplet as it descends. On the Moon it would be possible to make fiber cables six times longer than on Earth, as the tensile force remains the same but the gravitational force is reduced. The easy access to vacuum is also great for all kinds of chemical and industrial processes that are currently prohibitively expensive to do on Earth - such as semiconductor production that relies on clean rooms, distillation, solvent recovery, vacuum forming...and more. In terms of fuel needed to overcome the lunar "delta v", launch costs from the Moon are trivial, so it makes far more sense to build things like rockets on the Moon and do the launches from there than from Earth, if the goal is to reach other planets, so the Moon is destined to become a major spaceport. Lunar mining is also likely going to be very valuable and pay for itself in the near future - even if much of the Lunar subsurface is silicate, its surface is full of asteroid impact sites, and asteroids bring in valuable and rare metals. We don't have to wrangle an asteroid into Earth orbit, if it's just sitting out in the open on the Moon. Finally, the potential for radio astronomy is unparalleled on the Moon's far side, as this is the only spot left in our solar system that is dark to Earth's radio transmissions. I didn't even really go into the presence of Helium 3 isotopes on the natural satellite. H3 is a very useful fuel source for fusion reactions, and it is naturally created on the Lunar surface from the capture of solar wind particles. If we end up relying on nuclear fusion in the future, the Moon will be what powers our entire civilization.

They’re like Borders but they lack the real estate and strip mall exposure.

I don't understand how anyone does that. I know a lot of people do but to me my adhd will not allow me to do something I don't somewhat like? Its sad and childish but I'm serious something about the lack of blood flow to the frontal cortex that will not let me do it.

I am singlehandedly responsible for the lack of new armed conflicts in the world in 2026 because I’m holding precious metals. You’re welcome

CNBC continues its one-sided coverage of Bitcoin by encouraging its audience to buy the dip. Since CNBC is more like a Bitcoin infomercial, masquerading as an objective financial news network, its lack of disclaimers may mean viewers have a free put if they buy and lose money.

Well, their insane set printing cadence will bring a lot of revenue in the short/mid term (especially from those one-off buyers of non-canon sets like LoTR or Spiderman, who don't even play MtG). But I can tell it creates a lot of fatigue (if not disgust) in the active long-term players, especially now that these new sets all go through the Type 2 (Standard) format. Their lack of testing of legacy/vintage card interactions also fucks up eternal formats, where people don't exactly welcome this new barely tested garbage turning the game upside down. Shit like these Modern Masters or whatever it's called. Edit: Actually meant Modern Horizons. I don't care anymore, stopped playing MtG competitively around Lorwyn (the first one). We can make our own rules while playing in a pub.

That's why they will instead print Lack Botus if needed.

I'm going flat and getting some shuteye. I'm making bad decisions from lack of sleep induced insanity. Shittastic football game wasn't worth it anyway.
