    Biden and the Fed Leave 1970s Inflation Fears Behind

    I saw another story where it claimed the stimulus (I presume to be the total so far plus proposed) is "22x greater than necessary to meet the need".... whatever that means. Regardless, looks like "more stimmy" is being pursued for political purposes, regardless of the damage from inflation and...

    Matrox still the gold standard for 2d output?

    Correct about the NVS 295 being fanless, but the 310 and 420 have fans. The 310 is newer and preferable. It comes with either 512MB VRAM or 1GB VRAM. If running UHD monitors, go for the 1GB version.... ~$25 on eBay. If planning to run 4x, UHD monitors... forget the 310/420. Get a quad card...

    Matrox still the gold standard for 2d output?

    How many monitors and at what resolution? Both Nvidia and AMD have workstation cards to fill just about any need.... all but the lower power/capability cards have fans these days, but they are quiet.

    Biden and the Fed Leave 1970s Inflation Fears Behind

    Maybe not. Saw one story where Americans have "lost $400B in income thanks to Covid, but have already received >$1T in "support payments".... that's not considering the "stimulus support" package currently being considered.

    I can't program...what platform should I use.

    Back up a step and learn "Price Technical Analysis". Then, you can use any platform you want. The "platform" will not make or break you.

    Cash Secured Put 6.5% vs Covered Call 44.8% Return on UAVS

    So, what's the question? A written put will ALWAYS have less profit potential than a purchased call... regardless of the strike.

    FireFox slow to start

    Small issue. Not a biggie, just an annoyance. I have 4, Dell T5810 workstations running W10, with indentical mobo & CPU. On 3 of them, FF starts in ~1 second. On the other, it takes ~ 10 seconds to start (and of course, it's the one I use most :)). I've fussed with disabling all the add-ons...

    Trump Acquitted

    Some don't recognize the diff between what you "are" and what you "claim to be".

    Trump Acquitted

    This impeachment was part of the Left's effort to stain Trump and "Trumpism" in the eyes of his supporters... that and the far flung hope that they might get a conviction and be rid of him for good. In addition to brainwashing the hoi polloi into accepting Leftism, they also needed to convince...

    Advice on New Desktop + TV as a Monitor

    No sir, you are wrong. A 4K TV is only 3840x2160.... regardless of whether it's 50" or 85". 3x, 27" UHD monitors are 6480x3840 in portrait mode.... and a bit smaller than a 50" TV.

    Student loan borrowers refusing to pay. You signed the contract now pay what you owe!!!!!

    Not at all. The banks are NOT on the hook, and neither are the colleges (talk about a "moral hazard"). Government backing insulated them from risk. Those "on the hook" are the taxpayers. Banks and colleges are on the "gravy train" here with zero risk! Unfortunately part of the...

    Student loan borrowers refusing to pay. You signed the contract now pay what you owe!!!!!

    Just another attempt to "get away with something for free". EVERYBODY on the Left wants EVERYTHING FOR FREE... as best they can get. (That's the socialist way, not the American way.) Bring back "debtors prison", I say! Pay your F'n obligations or go to JAIL!

    What moves the market on daily basis

    I think maybe they have... and the Fed's destructive polices could be politically driven and intentional.

    Dangerously Cold Temperatures Pour Into Europe This Week

    Yeah. The reason US and Europe is SO F*n COLD this winter is global warming! We gotta do something about that!! (You know, like charge people a tax!)

    IB Midprice Order

    Fact... when you place your trade "mid price", you're generally unlikely to get a "bargain" fill mid way between the current bid/ask. You generally don't get filled until the market moves up/down such that your buy becomes the market's ask or your sell becomes the market's bid. (Yeah, I...

    The undoing of Trump's legacy.

    My take on this is that they were cocky in thinking, "we've done enough to steal the state", but were mistaken about having "done enough cheating". Making it point to not make THAT mistake again this time, so going "overboard" on the cheat! (If you're conning and cheating someone, it's better...
