Someone sent Alex Jones $1million in Bitcoin. So at least he has that much to cover his court judgements. -- (link) - TWuG Apr 29, 15:06 3
- Con: Alex Jones gets $1M. Pro: It'll probably be less by the time he uses it. Pro: That dude has $1M less than he did. -- nm - Reagen Apr 29, 15:39 2

  - On the plus side, if his stunt fails because of a total market collapse, that would be interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 15:31

  - Have a potential second round matchup again -- nm - spamlet Apr 29, 15:09
- Gave away that one late over the course of 5 possessions (13-0 run). Team is trending the wrong direction. - Baruno Apr 29, 14:55
Are the numbers in column 2 pos or neg? I think pos. Erika thinks neg. -- (pic) - Pocket Jones Apr 29, 14:15 [Attachment] 7
- Agree with the negatives. I am jealous of your minimal astigmatism. I have 2.5 in one eye and 3 in the other. -- nm - Baruno Apr 29, 15:36
- You mean are the cylinder values supposed to be decimals? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 14:26
- sorry, i think negative. i don't think there would be anything there for a positive. -- nm - Andie Apr 29, 14:22

  - Thank you ghost rider. -- nm - Pocket Jones Apr 29, 14:20 1
    - 😁 -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 14:21

"Who Is Ironmouse, Queen of the VTubers?" -- nm - David Apr 29, 14:14 2

WWE has released Malcolm Bivens and Dakota Kai. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 13:48 19
- And a few others now including Parker Boudreaux, aka Baby Brock. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 14:10 1
  - That dude had an outside shot as an NFL guard. He walked away from college football for this gig. - David Apr 29, 15:47
- I only know most WWE people through stuff like UUDD. I liked Dakota Kai when I saw her. - the wrong element Apr 29, 14:01
- It was telling when they didnt bring her up with Raquel -- nm - eag Apr 29, 13:52
- Bivens apparently refused to re-sign. Kai is like Candice. They never appreciated her the way they should have. -- nm - David Apr 29, 13:50 14
  - Im not sure Kai came off to me as another Bayley or Bayley lite -- nm - eag Apr 29, 13:54 10
    - Isn't Bayley one of their top people? - the wrong element Apr 29, 14:13 7
      - She is and use to be one of my favs now thats Becks and Bianca -- nm - eag Apr 29, 14:15
      - She’s one of their stars that they don’t really care about. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 14:15 5
        
        So, a woman who isn't Becky or Charlotte? - the wrong element Apr 29, 14:17 4
        
        She was injured and is expected back soon and I kinda disagree with Will - eag Apr 29, 14:20 1
        
        She didn’t have a match on WrestleMania last year. 4 people in title matches…she couldn’t make another match. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 14:24
        
        Their core 4 are Charlotte (undeserving), Becky (deserved), Bianca (deserved) and Ronda (deserved in terms of visibility) - Will Hunting Apr 29, 14:20 1
        
        I don't get the undeserving argument for Charlotte. I think she's arguably the best ever. I understand getting sick of her constantly at the top, - pmb Apr 29, 14:40
    - So, a certifiable star. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 14:04 1
      - I wasnt that crazy about what I saw of her in NXT - eag Apr 29, 14:09
  - If it ain’t Charlotte … they don’t care. Becky made them care and Sasha is hit or miss on them caring. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 13:53 2
    - It just came out that they had a two-hour NXT meeting wherein old men told 20-year-olds to dress sexier. - David Apr 29, 14:15
    - Bianca - eag Apr 29, 14:13
For someone that generally doesn't spend a lot of time outside, I'm really getting lost in potential "upgrades" to our new deck (mostly because I have - oblique Apr 29, 13:48 2
- I personally hate the idea of tv on a deck. You're outside! Be outside! -- nm - Pocket Jones Apr 29, 14:17
- Nice! You can get a fire pit for those chilly nights. -- nm - Krusty Apr 29, 13:52
excel heads, what is "ROW" doing here? -- (edited) - amanda Apr 29, 12:56 9
- If I understand it correctly: -- (edited) - oblique Apr 29, 13:12
- Is *that* why your Friday meeting? -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 13:00 1
  - That was to complete my deliverable from the meeting. -- nm - Pocket Jones Apr 29, 14:13
- I think it might convert "A3" into "3", for example -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 12:59 4
  - yup, I think it's giving the Value column (from the website example) numbers to correspond to the letters A,C and B -- nm - decline Apr 29, 13:07 2
    - also I think that formula has an error in it - decline Apr 29, 13:11 1
      - yeah, I caught that. thanks all! -- nm - amanda Apr 29, 13:12
  - mayyyyyyybe. lemme try something -- nm - amanda Apr 29, 13:00
- If I read that right, Row is used for the second argument of the Index function after the criteria exclude non-relevant numbers. -- nm* - Max Apr 29, 12:58
Getting things reupholstered is pricey. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 29, 12:56 2
- We have had great success with covers. - Spawn Apr 29, 13:03
- I hate furniture shopping in general -- nm - oblique Apr 29, 12:59

The Raiders had 3 1st Round picks in 2019. Today, they declined all 3 5th year options on the players. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 12:48 3
- My favorite Raiders pick - Strongbad Apr 29, 14:01
- What happens outside of Vegas... -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 13:01
- Still a better first round than they had the following year. -- nm - the wrong element Apr 29, 12:59
Happy Friday everyone!!! Take a moment to be happy! - zunk xometimes Apr 29, 12:35 3
- Anger --> adrenaline --> feeling productive even though you're being unproductive --> being a useless mfer -- nm - con_carne Apr 29, 12:48
- I think I just sent the final version of my contract to the new client! -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:37 1
  - 👍 -- nm - mud Apr 29, 12:41
Zion Williamson says of course he would agree to steal more money from the New Orleans Pelicans. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 12:24
Rob Manfred finally has done something I like. Bauer is a horrificly bad human being who might not be a sexual predator but is an awful misogynistic - Will Hunting Apr 29, 12:21 4
- I dig his Earth Band, too. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:23 3
  - we saw them in '74, you'll never guess who opened. -- nm - mud Apr 29, 12:46 2
    - I could never Guess Who. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 13:02 1
      - heh. It was KISS! :-D -- nm - mud Apr 29, 13:25
324 games is only two seasons? -- nm - Andie Apr 29, 12:15 4
- He has not been formally charged with any crime, so it would be difficult to see it being that record length if at all. Meanwhile Astros cheat the system and keep their WS rings. -- nm* - budice Apr 29, 12:37 1
  - It’s almost like the two cases are completely different. - Will Hunting Apr 29, 12:45
- But he’s a pitcher so it’s like 55 days of work. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 29, 12:25
- This is the reason I don't play Fantasy Baseball -- nm - oblique Apr 29, 12:16
MCU - Antman 3 moved up to Feb, The Marvels pushed back to Jul -- (link) - budice Apr 29, 12:14 2
- And GoG 3 still in between both -- nm - eag Apr 29, 12:48
- Andie hates Paul Rudd. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:17
here's the new Lucy Worsley documentary on the rebuilding of Notre Dame Cathedral -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 29, 12:12 [youtube] 5
- I just finished watching it. it's part 1. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 29, 13:08
- I can't help it. Whenever I see the words "Notre Dame Cathedral" this is the first place I think of. - Baruno Apr 29, 12:28 3
  - Well you should have gone to Mass, heathen. -- nm - spamlet Apr 29, 13:03 1
    - We had mass in the dorm at a reasonable hour for college students, TYVM. - Baruno Apr 29, 13:27
  - I heard the University sent a letter to the church, ordering them to stop using the name. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:34
My parents are looking at putting some of their retirement into some 'closed end funds' I think they are called? CLM and CRF specifically. - ty97 Apr 29, 12:12 19
- 'rights offering' windows are periods when people can buy shares of the fund. -- (edited) - decline Apr 29, 12:21
- One of the clients I work on is a closed end fund. Overview inside. I will look into these two and get back to you shortly with more specifics. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 29, 12:20 14
  - hmmm, interesting. -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:21 13
    - take a careful look at the fees associated with the funds - they can sometimes be higher than a similar open-ended fund -- nm - decline Apr 29, 12:23 12
      - Almost certainly. Apparently the dividends % is high though? I dunno -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:28 11
        
        I think so (we don't deal with CE funds). - decline Apr 29, 12:33
        
        Most of their distributions are return of capital though, not dividends, which explains why they’re trying to raise more funds I guess. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 29, 12:32 9
        
        Out of curiosity, do you know if they’re reinvesting their distributions? -- nm - znufrii Apr 29, 12:43 4
        
        I don't know much at all. Dad wants to talk to me tomorrow about is plan (I think in part for me to sanity check his analysis) - ty97 Apr 29, 12:44 3
        
        I would make sure he realizes that most of the distribution is just getting his own money back, that he’s paying a sizable premium over NAV for the privilege -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 29, 13:04 2
        
        (imo it seems an overly complicated way to go about things) -- nm* - znufrii Apr 29, 13:15 1
        
        Also, note that the record date for the rights offering was April 18th, so if he bought after then he can’t participate. -- nm - znufrii Apr 29, 13:25
        
        Could the premium be because people are buying in due to the rights offering? -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:42 3
        
        Probably not, it’s been consistently high for the last year, but increasing more recently due to stocks going down looks like. - znufrii Apr 29, 12:48
        
        (As in: people are willing to pay above NAV to become an owner so they can take advantage of the rights offering to buy more? Would that make sense?) -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:42 1
        
        The opposite, really, because the rights offering may put downward pressure on the premium by increasing the number of shares available. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 29, 12:50
- It's just a mutual fund that has a fixed number of shares -- nm - decline Apr 29, 12:18 2
  - But they seem to be doing a new 'rights offering' for existing funds? -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:20 1
    - My impression is that rights offerings are the option for existing owners of closed funds to buy more -- nm - oblique Apr 29, 12:22
znu I know where you live -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:11 7
- I didn't stay late at work for this -- nm - oblique Apr 29, 12:12 3
  - You stayed late to pay for that swanky new house :) -- nm - ty97 Apr 29, 12:14 2
    - true. I should have also added to the weekend plans the around the house work I have on my list: Camera, doorbell, smart switches, etc. etc. - oblique Apr 29, 12:19 1
      - Yeah, my cameras went online. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:38
- *moves to the shore house for the summer* -- nm - znufrii Apr 29, 12:12
- is znu your elderly parent? did i know this? -- nm - colin Apr 29, 12:12 1
  - This would explain much. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:13
Hello -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:11 3

  - It ain't easy to roll it and first it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 29, 12:11 1
