I mean, if this is what you believe, you can still invest in bonds in a 401k or brokerage account. Even if I believed this about stocks crashing, I still wouldn’t put any $ in an annuity.

Also, predicting the stock market and making huge decisions based on that tends to not go well.

Similar, yeah. More modern construction and side-by-side seating instead of tandem. But otherwise, similar size and weight.

Good to know; first time I’ve come across this website.

Ha, why was this downvoted? Sketchy website “reports” proprietary Chinese research firm’s accomplishment by rehashing the firm’s press release about an unbelievable claim with no other evidence. This got more red flags than the beach before a hurricane.

At best, this is something they actually did approximate in some kind of lab setting that might be years and years away from being some kind of marketable product.

The (translated) press release even has a stench all on its own:

It is expected to fundamentally solve the battery life and safety anxiety of traditional lithium-ion batteries.

N=1 case study from a radically biased individual or multiple rigorous studies by people who understand public health. I just don’t know what to believe!

What the hell is “natural drinking water?” That’s not a thing.

If you mean water from a spring or creek, that’s “spring water.” If by “natural” you mean untreated, unfiltered, untested, it might be okay but can also kill you depending on bacteria levels, parasites, or other pollutants or contaminates.

Don’t drink random water out of the ground.

This is a Humanities 101 freshmen essay thrown together 15 minutes before the due date by an edgy racist teenager.

Grade F, didn’t understand the assignment.

How do I get my 5 minutes back from reading that?

This person, Rep. Matt Maddock, should never be allowed to speak in public again for being such an idiot. If he does attempt to speak, he should be mocked relentlessly until he shuts his mouth hole. Nothing he says should be taken seriously again. Because he’s an idiot. Rep. Matt Maddock, the idiot.

While I’m dreaming, I’d like a pony too.

What gag order? If it’s not enforced, and won’t be enforced, it’s just a meaningless piece of paper.

So what? It’s not a gag order. Gag orders are enforced when violated. This won’t be enforced. So it’s not a gag order. It only looks like one.

Right before they lower it, in 10 days time, to $50M which will be due in an extra 30 days.

He has to pay $175M in 10 days. For now. That could get extended. Or reduced. Or both. No reason to assume he’ll be held to that now. All evidence points to it being reduced or extended again.

5 days ago I was downvoted for saying this would happen. Yet here we are.

Expect this judgement to get appealed and tossed completely. They can’t do it all in one go as that’s too obvious. Doing a slow roll. Randomly extending the deadline and slashing the bond amount is just the first step. Expect more. Each time easing up even more on Trump.

It has started :(

Trump is above the law.

For the record, the predictions in my comment have started. Severely reduced bond amount and an extra 10 days. The appeals court stepped in, even without an appeal.

Nothing is going to happen. Some court/judge will step in just before the deadline, says this needs a stay despite the lack of an official appeal request from the defendent. It will need a close examination due to “the historical nature of the case” or some such bullshit. Schedule a review date in October 2024, which will get rescheduled to 2025 because reasons. Then Trump will go spouting everywhere that he beat the courts and “won” his case.

This guy is part of the protected class, for whatever reason.

I hope I’m wrong. But I know, deep down in my plums I’m right.

If it can give hugs too, you basically got a whole gramma there.

Excellent. Didn’t know about this one. I’ve been diving into conservas a lot lately with some diet changes, so this is super.

Trump’s attorney said it was “unfathomable” that Trump would be ready to balance his legal obligations with his campaigning.

I can’t believe this stuff is even allowed in open court. Campaigning isn’t even a job. It’s a 100% optional thing somebody chooses to do in running for elected office. It can be stopped at any moment for any reason, completely and willingly.

A court date for multiple felonies is an obligation. It’s much higher priority. There’s no comparison.

If it is a fair excuse, then I guess we should all be campaigning.

Sorry boss, it’s unfathomable to work today because I need to campaign. Sorry your honor, jury duty is unfathomable because I’m working the crowds. Sorry IRS, can’t file my taxes this year because I’m busy raising money on social media.

Just wait until she drops out:

“Trump is the leader we need, he’s bigly strong, aced all his cognitive tests, he’s super rich and therefore smart, Biden is too old, blah blah.”
