The fact that bears are known to hibernate sounds like a better reason behind the term. So I looked it up because your comment just sounds like some ridiculous folklore etymology someone made up (no offense, and apparently my guess is not r

I always forget this, but yeah, I think you are right. Prime example for me were those talks about rail worker strikes. They were completely disallowed from happening. I understand the reasons, but despite not being any sort of leftist, I f

Mashinsky is a conman. This has nothing to do with the SEC being coy about whether BTC is a security and everything to do with Mashinsky lying to his customers about the risk involved in investing through Celsius. Here's a clip of him

I love spreadsheets, and I use them all the time, even in my personal life. Not once did I state that Excel sucks, is unimportant and shitty software, that no one should know it , or that people should have poor financial habits. I am not

I'll argue that, in 2023, the most basic 'computer' skills are knowing how to: * buy a smartphone (okay, not even a skill) * connect to the internet * visit a website * install an app * use basic apps, e.g. read/send ema

It's infuriating to see such a stupid take bubbled up to the top replies to the top comment on this post. Why would a singer know what Microsoft Excel is? And how exactly is her response even "pride[ful]" ignorance? She jus
