    Worst Real Estate Agent Ever.

    A bad agent will throw your property on the MLS and hope another agent will find it and bring a buyer to it. A good agent will advertise it on the 150+ different websites out there that you can sell your real estate on. They will knock on the doors of 100-150 of your neighbors letting them...

    Scientists: Climate change is real

    I observed myself 20,000 times over the course of my life, and each time I did this, I didnt die. Therefore I can conclude with a high degree of certainty that I am immortal and will never die. So...whats wrong with my premise? I mean...statistically it seems very probable that I am...

    Haha, I know, right? I usually just go there to buy fries for the kids. Then I saw the habanero ranch quarter pounder and wanted to try it because I make my own habanero sauce and wanted to see if theres was better. (it was)

    McEconomics

    I worked at mcdonalds as one of my first jobs about 20 years ago. The count was $3k to $6k per day. So assuming an average of $4,500 per day gross and after all expenses, assuming owner took home 5% of the gross, then $80k sounds about right. This was 20 years ago though, where a bigmac cost...

    I know for a fact blackrock came into my town and was buying up everything under $300k as of January. My sources told me though they only had $40 million to spend, though.

    US seizes account of top BitCoin exchange MtGox

    I have read more than a few stories of peoples bitcoin wallets getting emptied. What can you do about it when your money gets stolen? Nothing. Sure you can report to the police. "Hey someone with a wallet named "MoMuny4MeLuLZ" stole my virtual currency." What can the police do, though...

    A mind game

    100% chance to have 2 losing rolls in 9 years in a game of chance? Come on...does that really make sense? Lets disprove it. Get a dice, roll it 9 times and see how many times 6 comes up. If you do that over and over and 6 always comes up within 9 rolls, I will concede. I'm not saying that...

    A mind game

    So you take a much much smaller payday because you are afraid of a 6 losses in a row (which has a 1 in 46,000+ chance of happening) Steven Wynn builds billion dollar casinos because he has around a 53% chance to win and a 47% chance to lose. This scenario has an 83.3% chance to win and a...

    A mind game

    This is actually a very interesting experiment mathematically. Assuming the law of averages comes into play, then the smartest move seems to be to bet 70% of your net worth on every roll. After six years, you will have 5 wins and 1 loss. It doesnt seem to matter when that loss happens, at the...
