He just dropped another song with Cris Webby and it's really good. Acoustic guitar, stand up bass, and trumpet.

Agreed. I’m happy to buy more at this price.

2 recent songs I’ve been listening to a lot. Another Ren track, I like the mix between blues, soul, and gospel in a modern retelling of the devil at the crossroads/Robert Johnson type story. Ren sings the part of the guy selling his soul and Chris Webby sings the part of the devil. And Sleep Token another genre blending artist. When that saxophone comes in at the end! Ren x Chris Webby, “Down The Road” Sleep Token, “Emergence”

Added a little to my TRRSF position today. Released great earnings and the stock goes down. I almost added more NTDOY, but re-thought it, I'm happy with my position size there.

Sold EBAY and T, and moved it into NTDOY and FRFHF.

Congrats! Spend as much time with them as you can, it doesn't matter what you are doing with them as long as you are doing something with them. Their childhood will go by in the blink of an eye. Teach them as much as you can about as much as you can. My kids are now in the mid-20s, but here's a post I wrote here when my kids were little on how I was teaching them about money. I'd still recommend this method, but obviously not for a few years if your's is just a baby. For now, just enjoy being a father.

All you need to do to completely understand international politics/relations is to imagine a world under anarchy with different Mafia families/criminal organizations (who get their money from shaking down the people and businesses who happen to be in their claimed territory by running massive protection rackets) who each control a portion of the available territory on the planet. How do these various organizations deal with one another? BTW, this isn't "like" how the world works, it is how the world works.

If the markets were open she'd give it back and say "I was playing that stock trading game you have all day, I'm not very good at it, but it was fun."

The platter that the record sits on is made out of mdf (medium density fiberboard), which seems like a pretty cheap way to build it so I went for acrylic upgrade. It is a nice heavy solid platter.

It does have a clear cover. I don't know why they don't show it on most of the pictures on the website. Here's a picture that shows the cover.

I bought one of these in 2018: https://uturnaudio.com/products/orbit-custom with the Acrylic platter and Otofon 2M Red cartridge. Sill running great and sounds amazing. Mine doesn't have a preamp because I have phono inputs on my receiver.

I don't think I've looked in one of those encyclopedias since the 1990s and I've moved 4 times since then. Why do I still have them? I have no idea.

I still own a paper dictionary (I can't remember the last time I used it though). I still have a whole set of encyclopedias from the 1980s on my bookshelf. (I can't remember the last time I looked in one). I still pull out my record player from time to time and listen to music on vinyl. Some as old as the 1970s that I bought as a kid all the way to new vinyl I bought less than a year ago. I've written paper checks in the last year. Contractors in my area don't like taking credit cards. If they accept them at all they usually charge a 3%+ fee.

Yeah, anyone over 50 has all 20. I'm over 50, so all 20. The real test though is how many have you done in the past year. 4 for me.

Newsflash: Criminals like stuff that has value! From now on I'm not going to own anything of value, because I don't want to be like those criminals. Drug cartels have been using the US dollar for many decades, so I'm done with it. I'm going to go live under a bridge (unless that bridge is useful to criminals) and dumpster dive for food (unless that dumpster is useful to criminals).
