S&P 5000000

Probably got ripped off on all but the 1 I bond from 2022.  At 3%, they're currently yielding far below the 1 year treasury, even counting taxes.  1 I bond still yielded 4% by the end of 2024.  The others were down to 1 or 0%.  They pulled off 1% inflation in the last 6 months, even though housing inflation was 3%.

Lions succumbed & started pondered getting a folding bike & stashing it in the car, since it's rarely driven & there's no other place to store it.  Wouldn't know when to ride it, but it might find a purpose in the new age of tendinopathy.  Instead of walking 5 miles, a lion could eventually ride to get around during the now necessary recovery days. 

Only a folding bike would fit in the car.  Good folding bikes are expensive.  The luxurious ones are now $6k.  The cheap ones are $300.  They're always a hassle to lock up.




Top tier god real estate.  Anyone who owns a house in Calif* is a god, but these are the best of the best of the best locations.

Lions remembered what it was like living on the end house in a tract, with nothing but open space on 2 sides.  Once the tract was extended, we got the hell out, but either way, it went up 10x with no increase in property tax.


The ship really struggled into the wind without the nose cone.  Little did lions know the same wind was fueling another round of fires down south.  It actually did manage a few 8 minute pace segments in sheltered areas, but the tendon keeled over at mile 9.

 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 ...
