Im not making any argument about 24/7 trading. Im only speaking on what I am knowledgeable about. I have written option contracts for a living for a long time. Im not disputing that institutions can trade when retail can't. I would dispute that institutions cannot trade options when retail can't. And so theta in particular is not effected over the weekend when they are trading. Gamma may change delta as stock prices move over the weekend. Volatility may get sucked out or put in. But theta is priced in during weekly time.
Maybe this is semantics, but I often see the mistake that people believe time decays options outside of their tradeable hours, and it does not.
Edit: I also have to reiterate, there is no edge to buying or selling options. Writing or not. Your own discretion and edge on how to apply selling vs buying is how to make profit. If you write options mechanically, you will net out at 0 over a long enough period of time.
Adding my anecdotal information to this:
I've gone through four 2nd gen Priuses. Still have 3, one was wiped out by a drunk driver. (I walked away with no injuries.)
One at ~175k, one at ~220k, and one at 320k miles. 100k of that 320k has been purely beating on it doing food delivery.
These were all heavily used <$5,000 cars. All still averaging ~45mpg today, with the worst being in the upper 30's in 0 degree weather like this, with lots of idle time and the heat maxed out, and the best still landing in the upper 50's in the summer, driving with a heavy foot trying to make money.
All still on the original drive train and hybrid batteries. All still in "good" health according to the Dr. Prius app, and look good using Torque to monitor the voltage deltas across the battery packs.
They need oil changes and fluids of course, brake pads like once every ~150k miles, wheel bearings similarly around like every 100k miles, and I've gone through some tie rods. A lot of work is surprisingly easy to DIY. Even replacing the capacitor on the combo meter (speedometer) in one -- a failure point on this car worth ~$1,000 to fix at a shop -- was relatively simple to do and I did it in a weekend as a leisurely shade tree mechanic with basic tools.
They're not literally flawless, but they're incredibly solid and have saved me a ton of money not just in gas and maintenance, but in repairs and the time spent on them. The fact that they just fire up and go, every day, and do what I expect them to do. I've known people who have had to resort to living in these, and the extra capacity for heat/AC, or just electricity overnight for example was a total game changer and potential life saver. It is effectively a generator on wheels. I'll be sticking to gen 2 Priuses until I literally cant anymore, and I don't foresee owning another ICE vehicle again.
Could have been both, I know for sure it was for the Lightning too since I tried to talk him out of it and was sitting in the passenger seat when the manager ran up. I didn’t even have to say I told you so.

Back in 2022. DM me if you're curious, but I'd have to imagine there were a few of us 😊
Edit - to be clear I meant that there must have been enough of us that no *one* of us is probably a very interesting subject to you
