Vegetarians and vegans beware: the concept of veganism will be completely foreign to most Koreans older than 30. Even the word for it, “peegun”, is a loanword, and many older people will have never heard it. And when I was in Seoul people brought me spam and seafood dishes as banchan because they were “chaeshik”…

Bibigo specializes in watered-down, Americanized bibimbap.

Bibigo is a Subway/Chipotle/etc.-like chain restaurant that specializes in Americanized Bibimbap.

If you can’t get your money out because the fund’s not liquid, then yes, it only exists in theory. If there’s a redemption run, these funds will either have to close redemptions or risk moving the market because they are so large.

There are a multitude of risks in index funds. If you break a hip/get Alzheimer’s in a year like 2008 and are forced to retire, you could take a huge loss - or face a liquidity crisis and find out your money only exists in theory.

Nice try, but try again using the Real Rate of Return:

I don’t know what got into you lately, but I am loving it.

You can update Google Chrome to its latest, patched version on January 23

Literally the entire structure of every aspect of society is designed to cater to breeders. There is only one place in all of America you cannot take your kids, and that is a bar. There is only one additional place in all of America you cannot take your kids without being fawned all over and called a hero, and that is…

As long as parents are willing to teach their child to behave and remove them from situations where they are disturbing others

So much this. The kids’ menu exists so your brats don’t disrupt everybody else’s meal by screaming about how they want chicken fingers. It is not intended to encourage you to return to the restaurant in the future. It is intended to encourage all the other customers to return to the restaurant in the future.

Very accurate description. For me it can progress to actual pain if I try to lay still at night. Sometimes I have to take sedatives to get any sleep.

Eh. Presumably they’ll bond to me as their mother and then I’ll have an army of spiders to help me take over the world.

An exec at my company recently told a story about checking our company’s social media feeds while his kids opened their Christmas presents. He had no idea how tragic that was, and seemed to think he was bragging.

I’m not talking about functionality, I’m talking about price. The original YNAB was $40 for a lifetime. The new YNAB is double that price per year. It isn’t ethical, and it’s another in a long line of examples of people getting theirs and then turning around and giving the finger to the people who still are where they…

Somewhat unrelated, but I’m very disappointed in Mecham. YNAB was a great product until he decided helping people struggling with their finances was less important than grabbing wads of cash by making it SaaS.

Remember how all of Congress came together in a grand bipartisan effort to make sure everybody had a working TV before they did the switch from analog to digital? I find it odd that they don’t understand people love the internet at least as much as they love TV.

Sure, in the sense that Republicans are fine with a racist, sexist, homophobic lunatic - but child molester is a bridge too far. I wouldn’t hold my breath for a repeat of that particular victory.

The cockroach archaeologists will find that fascinating when they excavate it in a couple hundred thousand years.

I assume it will be along the same lines as the articles pitching the idea that renting is better than buying, now that the majority of GenX on down can’t afford to buy. Casting our precarious lots as a good thing. Lots of phrases like “active golden years”.
