What happened to the findings of the gelatinous blood vessels and blood cells that they found within a tyranosaurus rex bone? It was something that scientists said would have been …

I've noticed this in the last 4-5 years or so. It's really bad, but I just put up with it. I just recently bought a Pixel 7 to see how that compares and just might switch over.

Short Amazon? This can't be good for their most profitable division

> It seems like the terminal world is slowly getting abandoned in favor of proprietary GUI apps This sounds like something written from the 1990s. In fact these days, proprietary G…

As far as I'm concerned the countries impacted by those fishing cities should quietly torpedo them. It's a crime against humanity and if China can't support their own population wi…

I actually like Impossible Burger. It doesn't take like a burger exactly, but it tastes good. And if you screw up an Impossible burger, it doesn't taste nearly as bad as a screwed …

NEVER EVER buy bond funds or bond ETFs. In an increasing interest rate environment like this, you will suffer terrible losses when the fund buys and sells positions. If you want, b…

I've been short since November, and my portfolio is up about 100% YTD. I think the market is going to drop even further, 2008-2009 style, so I'm gearing up for that.

Afghanistan is different from Iran. Even today, Iranians are highly educated and they have historically been highly educated. Most of Afghanistan that the US was trying to mobilize…

The jab about the media is absolutely warranted. How many women are found dismembered in the US almost every day? There was just a case last week in NYC. The media doesn't pick it …

A woman in Iran would not be allowed to own a gun only because of the fascist regime in place today. Back pre-Ayatollah, Iran wasn't as misogynistic as it is today. It was one of t…
