Quick and painless. Simple; no need for doctors, electricians, etc.

After getting tires rotated, I heard a distinct thump-thump-thump driving away. I brought it right back to the garage and they said it must have been there already and I just did not hear it because it was in back. Is that BS?

I get why Equities+Gold (GDE) and Equities+Futures (RSST) are things - you try to get the benefit of the movement of both.

But what is the advantage of funds that combine Bonds with other stuff, like Equities+Bonds (RSSB) or Futures+Bonds (RSBT).

Isn't the main point of bonds to go up slowly and safely without crashing? So what's the point of leveraging them?

Thanks...

So I was eager to read Bernier's "Rethinking the Date of the New Testament" because it is fun to read well-presented cases against the academic consensus. Especially when one disagrees, because one might learn something! But I found this book to be childish nonsense and now wonder if that is also the consensus.

He starts with a good historicity discussion, citing all the authorities like Goodacre, Robinson, etc.

But his argument is rubbish. Basically he argues that it is more likely that somebody before 70 CE would predict the Temple being destroyed, than it would be for somebody after 70 CE to refer to it. And, he recognizes that somebody writing in 70-85 (like Mark and Matthew) might hope the End Times would come within the lifetime of Jesus' audience whereas somebody writing 85-95 (like Luke) might massage that a bit - and somehow assumes that means early dating of all of them.

So many assumptions and then he builds on them. Lots of citations but many are to himself.

My question is not whether his argument is good (it is not) but do people take this work seriously at all?

Thanks...

My favorites, depending on the cocktail of course, are: (1) Marcona almonds, (2) Harry & David mixed nuts, and (3) Everything Bagel cashews from Buckees. What are yours?

Thanks!

^(Edit. I almost wrote "not doze nuts" but I thought it would be too low-brow for this forum. I guess not.)

The memoirs of H. Flashman, Esq. display the very model of British morality and heroism. Have T&D ever taken this on as a topic? If not they should!

If you get two yellows (one vowel, one consonant) is it more strategic to hunt for the location of the yellow letters, or to fish for more letters? For example, a word that uses the yellow letter twice would be a good way to find its position, but would lose a chance to identify another letter. Just wondering if anybody has (1) actual statistics, (2) logical argument, or (3) anecdotal commentary. Thanks!

For somebody with a chronic nerve pain - all day every day, no doctor can fix it or even identify the cause. Is there a certain meditation or similar technique to come to help deal with it? Thanks!

I get it that people need to have personal and/or business conversations, but it is possible to do it quietly. People just shout into their air so all car hear. And there's always one in each gate. So sometimes, if I get up the courage/gall, I stare harshly. AITA?

Is there a way to have an easy-to-follow ticker for 4-5 specific ETF's in one website or window? Thanks.

There is one standard recipe: muddle mint in 1/4 oz sugar syrup, then 2 oz Kentucky Bourbon, add crushed ice, etc.

But at yesterday's Derby Party I followed the recipe exactly and filled the fancy silver julep cups, and the 2 1/4 oz liquid is way on the bottom under tons of ice. People expected the liquid to be up at the top like a normal beverage.

Are you supposed to wait for the ice to melt? Or add water? Or make it a double? Am I doing something wrong???
