it seems like they usually use it as a farcical example of “someone who thinks they’re smart”.

any VPN that does this is running over a botnet, and probably can’t be trusted.

Unless a Democrat is in office, in which case everything the government does is the most disastrous, evil, horrible thing to ever exist.

They don’t “think” in general. Abstract concepts and long-term consequences do not trouble their minds.

Clearly, meeting in the middle at $500,000,000.50 is the right price

Connect people back to value systems instead of aggressively debating specific issues.

For example, when we think about Jesus Christ’s teachings, why are we erasing the nation’s historical decision to help the poor, sick, and hungry - an action executed by the most greedy, vain, and boastful people on earth?

if you do that, the risk is that you miss out on buying at low share prices during the slump, which will be the lots that show the highest return when the market heads back toward normal.

The periods of fastest gains are usually immediately following a downturn, so selling your holdings when you hear bad news about the stock market going down, is exactly the wrong thing to do.

If you believe that The Trump administration policies represent a foundational destabilization of the American economy, which is a reasonable take, you might make the choice to diversify into more international funds.

Can you briefly describe how you’d fit the two together?

First few things I can think of are: haze in the air, not-pefectly-clean (including scratches) or not-perfectly-shaped optics, or light reflections inside the optical path

Ironic - wanting to force everyone to behave a certain way is one of those toxic behaviors!

I just set my ecobee to “auto”; the only possible inconvenience is the required gap between heating setpoint and cooling setpoint so it doesn’t constantly flap back and forth as a result over overshooting the setpoint. I have the gap set to 3 degrees and tend to shift it up and down seasonally (e.g. heating setpoint at 72 and cooling setpoint at 75 in the winter, heating 69 and cooling 72 in the summer)

Insolation and air infiltration based on wind conditions likely affect loss as much as outside temp, and the thermostat doesn’t know that (it could presumably learn to relate time of day, cloud cover, day of year (solar angle), wind conditions with that - but it would take 2 years to learn and its response would be opaque - most homeowners want bang-bang control since they understand it.

If this bothers you, you can short an amount equivalent to your index fund’s holding. But you’d have to track and maintain parity against the proportional allocation of the index fund as Tesla’s market cap changed and you invested more into the index.

This is why I chose lemmynsfw. No one doubts our intent
