I had sleep apnea and got jaw surgery. But I also have a dysfunctional TMJ, so my mouth opens when I sleep. Every chin strap on the market pushes the chin down into the airway, it seems. Which one did you get?

Yes, check Numbeo for Berlin, Frankfurt, etc. Then look at the tier 1 and 2 cities in China.

The ROI absolutely does not make sense but it's real. A large portion of the world believe that the only two investment classes are real estate and government bonds.

If I owned a flat free and clear with a low rental yield as in many German cities (like 2-3%), I would sell the place to someone and then rent it from that person, then invest the proceeds into stocks.

People are overly obsessed with home ownership and being free and clear as soon as possible so they blindly repeat adages like "paying the landlord's rent" and "flushing your money away" without running the numbers.

Would you buy an apartment in Taipei, where a $1M apartment rents for $1k a month? I'd gladly pay my landlord's mortgage in that case.

It all depends on interest rates, rent to price ratio, and opportunity cost.

I just scrolled through his tweets (Xeets?) and I must say I really like the guy. Hugely entertaining.

I hope for his sake this is all a performance art but but I doubt it.

The Wall street bets crowd will probably try to short squeeze you, though some Redditors were talking about trying to tank the price.

Either way it could be a meme stock for a long time.

I don't mean to kill the joke further but I think Hitler was already a dead man walking before Hitler killed Hitler, so I think his enemies (Allied Forces plus Russians) deserve most of the credit.

My bad, I assumed if you have plastics on your body then you have it in your arteries. If not then I want to know how to not get that stuff in my arteries.

Put another way, say you and I both have occluded arteries, and we are both inhaling and ingesting microplastics because they're inescapable. I have plastic in my clogs and you do not. What are you doing differently?

If microplastics are everywhere, how did some participants in the study not have it in their bodies? I want to not have plastics clogging my arteries as well.

I heard man purses are a thing there. But I think OP meant a salesperson will not solicit you in a store if you don't have a nice accessory.

Which sounds like an awesome side effect.

Someone who wants put their money to work.

Lots of cash doing nothing on the sidelines is risky in the long term because inflation. A "risky asset" is risky in the short term because of volatility.

For such an old drug, I'm surprised that the FDA didn't classify it as Pregnancy Category D (don't take it) until 2013.

I'm trying to reverse engineer your thinking. Did you do 150 - 100 = 50, then use 100 as the denominator to get 50%? Because that's not what "losing 50% of value" means.

USD to JPY 1y chart does not show a 50% decline - more like 11%

Increased return in monetary terms but maybe not quality of life.

I'm guessing they had to move due to life circumstances, but due to taxes, transaction costs, sunk cost fallacy, hassle, etc, decided not to sell the unit.

Every reluctant landlord capitulates and sells... eventually.

Perhaps as the mass USD redemptions start to fail, there is a window of opportunity to buy BTC before exchanges put a stop to it.

If USDT can no longer be redeemed for USD, then people may buy BTC instead?

Tangentially, as a pharmacist I could always tell which doctors grew up in Russia. All of them have this nice loopy cursive way of writing.

It's ok to worship a cruel god, you know. Just not my cup of tea.

You don't have to pretend he is perfect or justify all his actions. Just admit that any human who made the decisions he did would be rightfully judged as an evil person, but since "might makes right" I guess god is infallible.

Mental gymnastics only helps you sleep at night and won't change the rest of our minds.

Also this discussion went off topic real fast and my comment doesn't help.

These sorts of submissions are sure to attract armchair nutritionists and epidemiologists. Judging by the comments so far, they've predictably come in droves.

Fortunately my workouts were short and of the anaerobic nature so I didn't really break into a sweat.

I showered to also wash my hair. Can't work out looking all messy, what would others think?

I lived out of my Toyota 4runner for 5 months. I would go to the Planet Fitness in the morning, take a long shower using their soap and hot water, do some exercise, and leave.

Membership was $5 a month (for a 3-year contract.

Now I live in Romania and gym memberships are $50-70 a month but people actually go there

His views have evolved since when this essay was written, and I believe he has gotten an inheritance from a deceased family member and now lives in a house in Washington.

I've enjoyed reading many of his essays nevertheless.

Wait so these farms yield 15% ROI? And you can invest with leverage? How is this possible.

Just seems like attempts at humor / inside jokes at an AI company.

Odd angle for a hit piece.

Admittedly the reply was a harsh way of saying "learn how the system works beyond a pop culture level understanding."

(I'm reading the original comment a couple times and I'm wondering if I'm being trolled.)

Mortgages frequently get bundled up and sold as securities. That's just how it works. Blackrock is one institutional buyer. A mortgage is someone's liability and another's security.

Nothing about "mortgage securities" implies poor lending practices or overleveraging.
