Fixed Ocarina with Damaged Windway
Another poster was asking about their ocarina and I don't know how to respond with a photo, so here's a post
I first shaped a popsicle stick to the original size of the windway.
Then I got an epoxy adhesive and spread it on, making sure to cover all the air gaps. Then I pumped the popsicle stick in and out of the windway while the epoxy was curing so the popsicle stick would not be glued in permanently
My error was applying too thick a layer of epoxy because ceramic breaks so cleanly that it only needed a very thin layer
I would not recommend super glue because you need this material to be gap bridging and be airtight

I played a concert for an endangered goose
This is an endangered Nene goose of Hawaii. There were 4 more off screen, and this was after a 12 mile hike. There's only about 3000 left in the wild, so by percentage of total population, this would be like 20M humans
What's with the massive single-name moves lately?
Just today, this is outrageous:
AAPL + 2.1%
AMZN -4.1%
AVGO +5.7%
COST -1.1%
GOOG -2.2%
NVDA +6.0%
TSLA -5.0%
And that's not any of the chip stocks lik AMD, MU or whatever hot chip stocks people have.
Is it just me, or are these like "earnings-level" moves every day? And if so, why have implied vols not caught up? 1% a day is 16 vol. 4% is ... 80 vol. and none of these guys are even in the 40s.
The top of the market is today ...
because I bought an NDX 36500C Nov '26 call to hedge this crazy ass market.
my performance is benchmarked to the NDX, and it's so impossible to keep up. So, I bought an upside call to limit how much I have to chase it.
So, you're welcome, folks. because I bought, the market will obviously stop rocketing today.
