Long time NBA fan here, since 1996 when Jordan beat Seattle and Kobe got drafted. I just want to say, seeing the Knicks win the championship has been the most enjoyable championship I've ever witnessed from a team that wasn't my favorite. Still a big Lakers fan but hard not to have sympathy for the Knicks after 15 years of living here and knowing they've been a joke almost my entire life since I…
You know, my emotions are suprisingly subdued for today. I think I'm just going through SpaceX fatigue. Every single day my brain would absorb 100 different takes on it via TWTR/LNKD. Bullish. Bearish. Astroid mining. 28T TAM largest ever. Over-valued at 100x sales. Unprofitable. I don't know. I just got tired of it and I didn't even write out the mini-post I wanted, like I did on CBRS/Groq. I've…
I just discovered this they were only a couple blocks away from my kid's daycare in Carroll Gardens--not sure why I haven't been sooner. Did I tell you I've been running lately? I bought some new shoes and I run after I do dropoff. Our home is 2 stops away on train so it's about a 20-25 min run. It's nice. I'm trying to be healthy and all that. I still want to eat a big-ass greasy sandwich though.…
You know what TPOT stands for? If you do, you're too online. If you don't, it means "this part of twitter"--certain segments of twitter are dedicated to one central subject. For many of us, it might be FinTwit--I presume most people reading this blog are interested in trading or are actual traders. If you're not on TPOT (NBA), you just missed a big dramatic weekend. Kevin Durant, once caught for…
It's not often I come out of a movie knowing it's an instant classic that I will be re-watching 5/10/20 years from now, for the rest of my life. I know Marty Supreme is exactly that because it's basically a movie written for me and guys like me. I felt locked in from the first ten minutes, at a time where admittedly, I'm not watching a ton of movies like I used to because I have ADHD focus issues.…
I think I'm done with day trading. I can't take the anxiety and stress anymore. I was half-assing it for a bit and toying with the idea of being a long-term investor and swing trader for about 1.5 months now. I hadn't really tried to trade like Pete 1.0 for awhile, shorting high fliers and parabolic's and what not. Until the last couple days. It didn't end well. Not a disaster worth writing about…
Hi folks. I've been thinking of writing about a bunch of things but my thoughts just sort of end after maybe 2-3 minutes of thinking and I lose focus, so you get this long-ass block of zero writing. First off, I'm still alive. I didn't die. I don't even know why I'm writing this post other than to assure you of that. Let's just talk about stuff. I'm getting super AI-brained right now and it's sort…
Clayton Kershaw announced yesterday that this will be his last season as an MLB player. He's retiring as a Dodger, the only team he has ever played with. I'm sure there will be a lot of tribute pieces for him across sports media. I'll add a post that's just about my own personal memories of him, as a massive Dodgers fan who has followed his entire career since before he was even drafted. Kershaw…
I tried Federoff's Roast Pork way back in 2011 when I first moved here. I got their signature pork sandwich and I remember it being really good. Nowadays I can't get anything from Williamsburg unless I do delivery. I do UberEats One (pro-tip: get it for a month, go to cancel it, then get one of those "please stay with us" offers at discount) and I get value from places that do 2 for 1 specials. So…
