  • Time in market beats timing the market. You’re never going to now when stocks are “low”. You’re just as likely to wait JUST a little too long and then end up buying when it’s higher than it is now.

    If you have AVAILABLE cash now, that isn’t needed for an emergency fund, put it in the market now.

    If you want to hedge your bets a bit, then just invest a smaller amount every week to distribute the buying power in case the market keeps dropping.

    Trump could just announce that tariffs are dumb and he’s never doing another one tonight, and the market jumps in off hours trading. Or the market could bounce up for a couple days then crash. Or the market could stay down for the next 4 years.

    It’s impossible to predict when the “buy back in” period should start, so just don’t even try.


  • It depends, Terminator was a very unique story and more of a horror/slasher movie than an action movie. I prefer the first one, but I didn’t always.

    Terminator 2 is a fun action movie with heart. It’s a very good movie, but it copies a lot from the original. That being said, it really pushes the boundaries of animation tech at the time, to the point where almost all the VFX still hold up.

    I also really enjoy The Sarah Connor Chronicals, because it goes pretty deep into an interesting time travel war that was set up by T2. Those three IPs are all very different from each other, and are all great stories. Everything else is basically a money grab.












  • As much as it’s fun to hate on Musk. The Spaceship program is already cheaper than any other option, even if the second stage never becomes reusable.

    If all they do is gut the starship so it’s a little lighter and more reliable, and keep the reusable booster, it’s going to cut the cost of putting large and heavy payloads into orbit.

    The James Webb telescope would have been significantly cheaper and easier to build and launch if Starship was available. There was an enormous amount of science that was cut at NASA due to the cost and time overruns from the overly complex build.

    It still may never be a real option for lunar missions without the reusability and refueling, but just the ability to send huge things to earth orbit is a giant success.
