I find it almost impossible to replace my x61 tablet. 4:3 aspect ratio, awesome keyboard, trackpoint, no trackpad. That is perfection right there. All they need to do is copy that design, but eliminate as much bezel as possible (so it'

I interpret it as "we enter the world greeted by a bunch of strangers" and "when we die no one follows us to the other side".

I didn't do the negotiations, I bought it from a fund that handled that - new terms, new rate, etc. I'm not that savvy myself :)

That's amazing, but almost unfathomable to me. Maybe My childhood was absent of female affection, but wow if I could meet someone like that... then again I would probably push her away because I wouldn't feel like I deserved it.

How is day to day happiness? I'm only 29 and I want to live like that forever but I can't imagine it's conducive to an active sex life. (Again, I'm young, hopefully testosterone tapers off substantially as the years go o

Yeah it was a "rehabbed" note. It was previously non-performing and so it's probably subprime. If you're curious check out pprnoteco.com

I mean the purchase price was 60% of the loan balance (a 40% discount). I bought it with cash.

So what I tend to do with my free time is overplan. I guess I'm trying to maximize my freedom even more by guaranteeing zero kids. I can be quite impulsive, and I don't want to get trapped by my own poor decisions. Plus there&#x27

I am 29 and I also feel uneasy about my life. I have no real interests. I make a pretty good salary as a pharmacist and I've been saving and investing 80% of my income (up to 90% this past year) the past five years. I plan to do this f

From a fund. It was at 60% of the loan balance and the annual yield is roughly 12% before taxes.

I agree with you 100%, thanks for pointing this out. Some intangible benefits do translate to financial benefits, though. Like as a homeowner you are more likely to pay for costly renovations. And this is a guess, but people tend to buy a m

In a way, you're always paying "rent". If you buy, you pay rent to the bank (principal and interest) for 30 years and rent to the government (property taxes) forever. You also pay utilities and insurance, maintenance and impr

Does ML unambiguously stand for Machine Learning now? I got excited because I thought it referred to ML the language.

Doesn't seem that way to me, because I'd be terrified in his situation. And my current passive cash flow covers monthly expenses. Different perception of risk, I guess. I'm amazed by the courage of people who can risk so much

Pretty cynical viewpoint. I can see where you're coming from, but by saying "bus" are you implying a zero-sum world?

As an example, I don't kill insects (or any living beings, for that matter). I once asked a Buddhist monk "I own rental properties, but sometimes they need to be treated for termites. Isn't that killing?" He said "I

Do people with millions of dollars in networth even think about T-bills? Genuinely curious.

I think it's similar to how people freeze up when an emergency happens. There's no logic behind it - more like too many thoughts and feelings flooding the mind at once, resulting in paralysis. You are probably the fortunate few wh

I, too, sometimes dislike cooking, so here's what I do: I take 1 cup of raw oatmeal, ice, and 2 cups of lactose free whole milk and put it in a blender. Thirty seconds later I have a meal of 600Cal with 26g protein. I have this at leas

I agree that it's not easy to overcome the inertia (the psychological aspects). I've been skinny all my life and I still have to motivate myself to exercise. You don't necessarily need to "go to the gym" though. The

Kind of off-topic, and I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this, but is it common to have clarity of mind at age 92? Is it mostly genetic or is it more like "keep challenging your mind and get enough sleep"? Anyone ha
