What happens if the equity loses value but doesn't go to zero? Is the principal reduced? And if the price stays flat, is interest still owed? And what triggers a settlement. Would the loan get called back only during a liquidity event

Rugby turned pro in 1995. So the "amateur era" is likely referring to players pre-1995. While not strictly "pro", they were not your typical rec league players. They were doing international tournaments and playing for

Contract law is literally one of the main functions of government. The court system, paid for by taxpayers, is used to settle those disputes. So it is in the governments interest to clearly define what is and isn't allowed in a contrac

I would avoid coastal communities. Wealthy beachfront owners will likely find a way to socialize their losses, either by getting taxpayers to fund coastal armoring or via direct bailouts. Alternatively there is the risk that property in tho

Indeed. There is a reasonable argument to be made that Europe might get colder in the future. It really depends on the gulf stream. If that turns off, it could be the end of grape growing for all of Europe.

Well the only reason someone would not want a big raise is because they would be worried that it would put them higher up on the chopping block if/when layoffs come around. So that criteria kinda self selects for under performers. But

You aren't going to win any strong man competitions with this routine, but if you are just trying to keep your body in shape there are a few things to consider. 1) Abs are made in the kitchen. You need to spend a lot of time on the tre

The twitter thread isn't super clear about the exact mechanics. But If I had to guess, maybe the fleeing fox randomly chooses the path to follow, and because there are more possible paths in the dense parts of the map the odds of selec

You are making it harder for recycling to be profitable/worthwhile. Sorting the material and disposing the trash is one of the biggest costs associated with recycling. If the inputs to the processes get too saturated with waste, the re

The housing market is BOOMING!!! They are probably sitting on a ton of equity. If they don't want to deal with the tenant, they can sell and put a nice chunk of cash in their pocket. And the eviction moratorium does not remove the fina

The government also allowed for penalty free mortgage forbearance and has allotted significant amounts of money for rental assistance. They may even allow landlords to apply for that assistance on the behalf of their tenants. For the above

Yes, I had to close the page after about 5-10 seconds of browsing. Interestingly, I have been slowly cutting back on coffee and am a bit sluggish as a result, but after looking at those images my mind got a bit of jolt.

It would have to be closer to 200-300% in order to solve our problem. You can easily Google search for these numbers. And this would just get us to neutral on CO2. We would still have to deal with methane and water vapor, both of which are

Ahh, never mind. I see you can add multiple incomes. And the "Other Assests" form has a "Purchase Year" input. Thanks, very cool tool.

For the married scenario, would you suggest just combining income, cash, investments, etc. under one person? Also, is there a way to model purchasing a house in the future? Probably the biggest decision I am struggling with right now.

By your own words, those events triggered mass extinctions. Like you, I think the most probable outcome is that climate change results in a mass extinction event. And like you, I think humans will survive in some form, albeit at significant

That is some nice cherry picking. Similar to how the Texas blizzard worked, the Greenland surface conditions are a result of the heat dome. From your own source[1]. I will be the first to admit that claiming the Texas Blizzard and the Heat

Texas had a blizzard because the polar vortex dropped down from the Arctic due to record warming[1] Climate change is going to make things weird. Not everyone is going to get warmer. Some models show Europe entering an Ice Age due to a slow

For some folks part of the motivation for getting outdoors is to escape the ills of modern life, and one of those ills is consumerism. As outdoor sports/recreation has turned into a fairly large and profitable industry, for those of us

You can get a suitable hardtail for less than $500 on Craigslist pretty easy. I have been riding a bike I got for $100 for over 5 years. I dropped another $100 on a new set of brakes just to be safe. And most beginners would probably be bet

Do you really think that local municipalities focus on single use plastic is the reason we haven't solved climate change yet? Climate change and plastic pollution are two separate issues, but I would be willing to bet that the folks wh

According to this article[1], the number of ride hailing drivers has tripled in the last decade. I think full self driving is possible in the future, but it will likely require investments in infrastructure (smarter and safer roads), regula

We went through the same hype cycle with self driving cars. We are now ~15 years out from the DARPA challenges and to date exactly 0 drivers have been replaced by AI. It is certainly impressive to see how much the GPT models have improved.

The timing was odd because of how severe the cough was. I have had plenty of colds through out my life, and this was by far the worst.

In this particular case it was the worst cough I had ever had by a fairly wide margin. This was definitely not a case of us having the sniffles and thinking we might have caught covid. And for the record, I don't necessarily think it w
