You bet on a company in a specific market and hope it goes up. Then you diversify another investment into this specific market, but in multiple companies. But you short them a little. First case, company go up, wins go up. Second case, major desaster tanks the whole market you equalize the dumping single company investment with the short in the market. Lost nearly nothing.

Hedging is about recognizing investment risk and mitigating it. That being said, hedging is not really a working strategy, it just has lots of media coverage. Hedge funds leverage a good story to convince investors to give them money to manage. They earn from managing that money without carrying three y risks. The broker always earns.

If you want you invest money with limited risk, broad market index funds area the way to go.

Hate to break it to you... 42 didn't make it the first study. In the second study they just named three troublemaker 42 again.... And he also didn't make it. After a study, all those rats just go to a big farm to live out their lives in peace. Not.

Also, if I'm tired and can't think in front of the computer, standing up helps about with getting my circulatory system going and getting myself awake and alert again.

Pretty sure this was the last election in the us for quite a few years.

You are correct. That's what Nazis do. Don't sink to their level.

Be me, about four years old. Decide i need to drive a car for fun.Wake little brother at four in the morning and we sneak out with moms car keys. This is in the city mind you, with cars parked tightly behind each other on the curb. Get in, start the engine and lights. Can't get the fucking hand brake lose. Luckily mom smells bullshit and comes looking for us before I figure it out. Get roasted for that to this day, mom is nearly 70 now and still tells this story to this day.

I'm kind of an electrical engineer by training. Experience taking electronics apart, but this was my first mechanical device. It was quite the journey and I only saw some general videos about people taking combustion engines apart. It's a pretty simple device really, but still a new skill. :)

Might be. Still, recommending OP compromises with his partner.

Pretty sure she is eating out that unicorn.

Yeah maybe she might be a little overreaching there? Forcing someone to always make (and eat) the thing you prefer is not a healthy relationship. Time to compromise.

We just had a thread about biopunk centered media, I would love a similar collection about movies and TV shows about solar punk. Here we go:

I really loved the show the peripheral. I know it's not really centered around solar punk per se, but it happens to be placed in a world where the main character goes from place to place in a solar charged e-bike.

What's your favorite show or movie set in a solar punk world?
