Have you been there recently, that is recently, prior to Feb. 24? Anyway, when I was last there (left SPb on Feb. 7th), the biggest thing was the QR codes for covid (I didn't have one, obviously, since I'm not a Russian citizen, but I was still able to get into my favorite Irish bar there)...

They had it, until the 24th of February.

Whether you loved him or hated him, there may never be another like him. RIP.

Can someone please tell the Chinese that the Taiwanese don't want to be "unified"? It probably won't matter. It never does with authoritarian regimes. But what is the harm in saying it?

Law enforcement is preparing for violent protests re: possible Roe overturn. I suspect most of the protests will occur in the blue states (i.e. those that will continue to allow abortions). I guess my point is, that if these states will continue to allow abortions, why the protests?

Does Russia want a nuclear war? It sure seems like the Russian government (i.e. Putin) thinks they can win one. This is most unsettling. https://www.the-sun.com/news/5213926/putin-warns-nukes-west/ No one wins a nuclear war. To quote XO Hunter from the movie Crimson Tide (Denzel Washington)...

Either the Ukrainians got really lucky distracting the Russians with their drone, or there was a major design and/or operational failure in the Russian's defense systems. Eitherway, very well played by Ukraine (i.e. don't f**k with these guys)..

They were the first country to send a person to outer space (Yuri Gagarin), but not to the moon.

It's a mistake for western companies to exit the Russian market ... imho. If you want the USSR back, this is one way to do it. Complete isolation. Punish the Russian people for something they really had nothing to do with. Create anti-western sentiment. They knew it all along. Hello USSR.

Even if that were true, to be replaced by whom? The Russian Duma basically voted "go for it", re: Ukraine invasion. Until and unless Russia becomes a real democracy, I don't think you will see much change (politically at least). Really and truly, I wish their leaders would just follow their...

The question is ambiguous. Should I sell or hold ... yes/no. Anyway, unless you need the money, I would hold.

Finviz.com?

I normally don't agree with the OP, but in this case, I have to confess that I do. If not Omicron, then there will be some other variant. If not another variant, then a completely new virus. Ladies and gents, we humans are f*ked...

I agree. Time series are used in all sorts of things. Of course, in trading, when using a time series, you are looking at past events, and past events cannot always reliably predict future events. I wish it were not so :)

Last time I was in Turkey (2016?), I think it was something like 3:1.

I just love booting up my Fedora/Linux partition and getting to work. Usually not so with my Windows 10 partition ... https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/microsoft-windows-10-forced-updates-auto-restarts-are-the-worst/

Personally, I check the PassMark results for any CPU I'm interested in (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/). Note that the benchmark results changed significantly in early 2020 due to new benchmark algorithms (https://www.passmark.com/support/performancetest_faq/v10-results.php)

Having a great credit score allows you to spend, spend, spend!!!! But I think the key is to live below your means. As an example, it's not what you make that's important, it's what you spend.

It almost happened on 9/18/2008 after the Lehman collapse. https://seekingalpha.com/article/119619-how-the-world-almost-came-to-an-end-on-september-18-2008

Well, if you get rid of state and local tax, how will you pay for all of the services they provide? Police, garbage collection, water, electric, etc ...
