    Trump mocks another potential 2024 opponent, saying Virginia Gov. Youngkin's name 'sounds Chinese'

    Trump being Trump, he can always fall lower. Why anybody on the Rep side wants to have anything to do with this POS is beyond me.

    How many shares before slippage is noticed when scalping?

    Obviously "it depends". Some things to consider: 1) Share price is fairly arbitrary (although on US exchanges share price matters more than it should due to legacy rules and pricing schemes where charges are per share), so converting to dollar volume before quantifying market impact should be...

    Single Greatest Wealth Loss In History: $100 Billion Zuck-Bucks Vaporized As Meta-Bet Bombs

    1) VR headset gaming is primitive and just embarassingly inconvenient in its current incarnation. The fact such games although graphically more impressive are unable to put a significant dent in traditional video gaming degree says everything. 2) VR hardware does not just need to be less...

    Back to the Futures - with Accountability

    I highly enjoyed reading your opening post, and few people take their time to write that well, so thanks. An era that seems distant from today's anonymous screen trading (but in reality less than two decades ago). How much was the effective maximum risk on your half a million winner in your...

    What Russia said... and the Western lie press suppresses

    While Mao Zedong is deserving of the "greatest number of deaths in human history"-award as attributed to a single person, when it comes to deaths caused by imperial expansion of a single country Russia is indeed a strong contender. Although without a consistent comparison framework it's hard to...

    Boston University researchers claim to have developed new, more lethal COVID strain in lab

    TL;DR The original virus was more deadly to mice (100% chance) and the aim of the study was not to create a more deadly virus. That said, there are some valid concerns about the research: https://www.bu.edu/articles/2022/neidl-researchers-refute-uk-article-about-covid-strain/...

    Testing collective2

    Was a while ago I spent any time on that site, but assuming no changes since I last checked: C2 algos can either list "magic fills" (based on shitty simulation) or by actual fills from subscribers, subject to the algo publisher's discretion (and practically, whether there are any subscribers)...

    real reason for the Bank of England's gilt market intervention

    Click the link, it has a longer explanation. It boils down to those funds holding illiquid assets that can't be liquidated at a moment's notice to cover losses on certain derivatives.

    Colonoscopies are useless too

    Link just leads to r/medicine (removed?) 1) As per the conclusion: "In this randomized trial, the risk of colorectal cancer at 10 years was lower among participants who were invited to undergo screening colonoscopy than among those who were assigned to no screening." Specifically, 18% lower...

    Ethylene? WLKP

    On the assertion of this Winter's crisis; some people have argued that the Winter of next year is going to be tougher than this year, since Germany & co have managed to fill their stores by now - they could use Russian gas for some time, after all. I don't pretend to be entirely up-to-date but...

    Finland Using Highways As Airports

    IDD. It's pretty ironic how just one decade after the peak of Swedish demilitarization there was Putin's 2014 incursion, and less than two decades after that we have the Ukraine war/maybe WW3. Apparently similar misplaced 'readiness' was achieved in WW1 and then again in WW2 (by pure luck Sweden...

    Finland Using Highways As Airports

    In Sweden we have a lot of conspicious wide long perfectly straight roads in the forests since the Cold war as well. Although the government destroyed almost all kinds of readiness for war in the late 90s and early 00s (e.g. cement filling or selling bunker complexes) the roads remain for...

    Doesn't 30% down feel about right for where this bear market should land?

    Although I agree, that picture is a type of chart crime. A logarithmic chart would give a cleaner picture. Of course, the difference between GDP and market cap is going to run away when both series are exponential. Not market cap to GDP here, just P/E, but an illustration of how it's easier to...

    2 Russian gas pipelines sabotaged by CIA? :-)

    Except Ukraine does not at all benefit. Russia does, it is waging an active energy war on Europe. That Ukraine is behind is the propaganda line coming out of Kreml sources naturally. Expense of repairing NS is several orders of magnitude lower than the cost of losing the war. Cost of repairing...

    2 Russian gas pipelines sabotaged by CIA? :-)

    Why Russian? Because this is exactly the sort of thing they've engaged in in this conflict. In addition, nobody else have a remote reason to do this. The gas outflows have indeed been shut down for some time. At this point they just want to stirr the kettle and have the useful idiots siding...

    2 Russian gas pipelines sabotaged by CIA? :-)

    Russia rather obviously. The Kreml is hoping to get a propaganda free spin by people like OP. The road to hell is paved by useful idiots and insincere people.

    I don't dispute that it's not quality (wasn't aware of the dye part but I know that the quality is much lower than wild salmon), nontheless people eat it.
