By late 2001, Amazon share price collapsed by 94% from it's peak in late 1999! It did, however, fully recover by late 2009.

By 'fastmail masked', you mean an email on the fastmail domain, right? I.e. something123@fastmail.com? So that if there is a problem with your domain, you can still login to your registrar even if they want to say verify your iden

How do you/they deal with presumably all of their peers doing the opposite?

I have also been thinking about this recently. The big difference/problem I think is the social aspect. With AAA at least you can expect large numbers of people enjoying them at the same time, so you can share the experience with other

Also, most people in Western Europe / US care more about how things have changed for white collar / educated workers in their country/block.

Look up other writings by Seneca, e.g. On Peace of Mind. They are great too!

Is Monkey Island 2 even possible to beat without a hintbook? I enjoyed Monkey Island 1 a lot, but with 2 there was a combinatorial explosion of items/locations, and it just seemed too difficult/unfair. I got the impression they w

Thanks, haven't heard of those RPGs and they look interesting.

The original does play very well. The PS3 version allows to speed up time 3x, which is very useful to make some grindy battles less grindy.

I do not think it is a test of nostalgia, rather a test of time - I have been playing many of these games (and new games, too) for the first time recently. It is amazing what some games managed to do with the limited graphics capabilities o

On PC or on PSX? The version on PSX had a very different feel to it, partly due to very different kind of soundtrack. Both are good though.

by agent008t 2y ago
The soundtrack is also amazing! I was once in Kanazawa and randomly walked into the phonograph museum. They had a room there where you could pick an LP from a pile and play it on a phonograph. I grabbed one from a box at random, and the mus

Life comes with a lot of suffering inseparable from it. Different paths in life we can choose result in different kinds of struggle we onboard. Meaning is defined as what makes it overwhelmingly worthwhile. A lot of religions/philosoph

If life is full of tragedy, why make more of it? So that you could still have love surrounding you when tragedy strikes? How is that not selfish but OP's view supposedly is? Yes, I agree with you that you have to create some meaning

Have you written about your FI/RE story anywhere? Would be interesting to read. E.g. which SWR, did you end up moving somewhere cheaper, what do you do day-to-day now? How have you found actually living on your withdrawals - has it not

I find this surprising. Did we not just have a pandemic, where people had to have fun without 'going out' and spending money? It was great to see so many people gathering in parks etc. instead of going to restaurants. I found it v

Thank you - I doubt it has much to do with interest costs though. 1450 before Covid to 1750 now pretty much matches CPI exactly, so in real terms rents have remained the same. Not that it makes paying it any easier, of course - rents and ho

Could you give some numbers on this please? Really curious. I am seeing rental yields still under 3.5% (zones 1-2, Victorian terraces converted to 1-2 beds).

It does not really say if any areas are exposed though. You can have near flat elevation but a very exposed path.
