If there are 190k Russian troops amassed at the border of Ukraine, wouldn’t this be an opportune time to take them all out? Trade offs being ethics and retaliatory considerations. I mean what is the end game here? Back to the status quo? Ru

Not to brag, but to brag, this is nothing. I’ve had a gas bubble injected into my eye to repair a detached retina (pneumatic retinopexy). https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/w...

If the two cups of coffee are for one person, I don’t think you want them at the same time, one might get cold. I think you can start to heat again sometime during the drip phase. Start to enjoy your first cup while the 2nd cup is heating.

I’ve lived in Vancouver for 17 years and while there is no direct fire threat in the city, the smoke in the area has never been this bad and for such an extended period of time. Rain in the forecast for this weekend (fingers crossed).

I agree with this author. Pursuing money is good as long as you are accumulating for the right reason, to enable your freedom of choice. I wish I had learned this lesson earlier in life, I could have easily been “retired” by now. If one liv

agreed. the farther back the data point, perhaps the less applicable it is today. i was just surprised by the typical length of consecutive runs positive return years (3.6) vs negative return years (1.4). Also, that if history has any bear

Just as I finished reading this article, a book on a shelf fell over. Was that Boko? Or was that just physics and time set in motion from when that book was placed on the shelf?

I don’t know. My bond funds are down last couple of years with these low interest rates. With interest rates starting to rise, they should be going up, but still don’t see it yet. Maybe there is a lag of bond fund prices to interest rate ri
