20 years ago, you were supposed to be 100% in bonds by age 50 & retirement's biggest threat was a low savings rate.  Today, you're supposed to be 100% in stonks by age 50 & retirement's biggest threat is inflation.


20 years ago, investing was all about getting rich.  The saying was bulls make money, bears make money, & pigs lose.  Today, everyone wants to know how to stay ahead of inflation rather than get rich.  Bulls lose money, bears lose money, & pigs win.


When lions run at night, they always end up going to sleep at 4am.  It doesn't matter whether the run is 7pm or 10pm.  There is a biological cooling down period during which the biological clock is determining time of day from the amount of rest.  Perhaps there's a minimum time when the muscles have to keep moving to get the fastest recovery.


The lion kingdom doesn't know what the reliability of DOSFS, NTFS, VFAT, & EXFAT are, but EXT2,3,4 have had a sub 1% data loss over 25 years.  It's not 0, but a large amount of data.  Over 25 years, it's incredible how much data is lost just from progressive corruption of the filesystem.  The data loss normally appears as blocks of 0 in media files.  Every media file from 20 years ago has at least 1 bad block.  EXT4 would not be acceptible for banking.







The lion kingdom pondered how someone could afford a house which looked like that, then realized he was a movie star.  The next question was how a skinny guy could have 2 kids since women for the last 40 years were repelled by skinny guys.  It became clear that is it possible because he's a certain kind of guy.  Sadly, you can't create the ornamentation of the palace of versailles on a 3D printer, during a single lifetime.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a sou...

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they ...
