Vox Nihili posted:Maybe this is ruining the fun but I don't think 4,000 calories a day is all that crazy if you're doing a bunch of strenuous exercise, you burn off the excess in just a few hours of real, hard work it’s not but slamming a bunch of McDonald’s when you have a private chef is one odd way to get those calories.

McDonald's hamburgs have a certain je ne sais quoi. There's just something about them that keeps me coming back. Their fries are good too. I don't like restaurant hamburgs that you have to cut with a knife and unhinge your jaw to eat.

As far as I know, he did it completely on his own. Another friend bought a complete piece of poo poo fixer at 0% down from someone he knew and has worked his rear end off and drained his bank account making it look halfway decent. Also before rates exploded. Everyone else had help from parents and/or makes fat stacks from their banker/developer/doctor type job. Usually both.

Subvisual Haze posted:A normal non-inverted yield curve should offer higher yields for longer durations as a time premium, however short duration (<1 year) t-bills are currently around 5.5% interest, yet 30 year bonds are still only offering ~4.1%. That's probably a low supply issue, if the treasury actually tried to sell a large number of 30year bonds that would probably reveal/drive up the 30year rates to ~6% and this would do 2 things: So you're saying Yellen is very carefully balancing a pyramid of extremely fragile porcelain cards that could render the government insolvent if she fucks up? That owns

imo printing more dollars with the expectation that everyone would buy them forever probably would have kept working a little longer if the sanctions on russia didn't involve stealing all of russia's dollars

Pure guess on my part obviously

Relevant Tangent posted:DINKs can afford cars and houses but the breeders are screwed. The American sitcom figured out the solution to this conundrum by having the low income breeder couple crash at the DINK household. As an added benefit the DINKs became DIYKs after approximately four seasons, a 100% increase in fodder for the grinder! Now what's this 'code enforcement' fella doing at my front door that requires being backed up by an entire SWAT detachment?
