      Japan Crashing

      Yes. All income is taxed. Long term capital gains are taxed at a low rate (15% for most people). Dividends are taxed at your marginal income tax rate (the same as your wages.) I used 153 years of data because that's the data that was readily available and most relevant. Gold is more a...

      Japan Crashing

      The 150 years is just to give the broadest scope of data to the simulator. What the simulator does is allows you to compare your present financial situation against 150 years of past performance to see how likely you will do. So for example you plug in your specific financial information and...

      Japan Crashing

      If depends on your individual circumstances. If you don't have any money in the stock market, then how well it's doing doesn't help you. But if you have a significant investment, then the increases in dividends and capital gains far outpace your increases in cost of living. (And this includes...

      Japan Crashing

      Yes, there has been inflation. And the last few years have been higher than average (although nothing compared to the 1970s and early 1980s). The market far outperforms inflation over time. I actually wrote a stock-market monte-carlo simulator using the S&P500 (and its predecessors) from 1871...

      Japan Crashing

      Cue "panic"... Not really though. The Nikkei had a really bad couple of days. It's lost about a year's worth of value. For U.S., yes 2 bad days also. But look at the last year's worth of growth. For long-term investors, these market drops are buying opportunities!

      New Jersey ban on AR-15 (in home) struck down

      Good news coming out of NJ. That certainly doesn't happen very often!

      Woman With Pot of Boiling Water Shot Dead by Police

      +1 I am generally pro-police (and honestly I have always have treated fairly in interactions any with them). But if I see a police car driving near me, I'm expecting a speeding ticket in my near future. :eek:

      Just can't like pocket carry....

      Pocket carry is "better than nothing" if you need to wear a tucked-in button-down shirt. Or for "I'm in a hurry, will only be gone for 10 min & don't want to bother w/ a belt." But (at least for me) the cons outweigh the pros in other situations.

      INDOT launches Safe Zones pilot program to improve work zone safety

      Terrible idea. It's a pure money grab because cameras can write 1000s of tickets vs police who can write dozens. And of course, it's the "foot in the door", and will only lead to wider and wider implementation over time.

      Server Downtime 7/24/2024 7PM Central

      Good luck. Have you tried restoring a recent snapshot of the VM to other physical hardware? I assume you're hosted on either AWS or Azure; it's only a few clicks. :) (I assume it's only a few clicks on GCP as well, but I'm not quite as familiar w/ the admin on that plaform.) Both for work and...

      Hello from Southern Indiana

      So, I assume you are in or near Columbus, IN? Welcome from a few counties over (Greene).

      Woman With Pot of Boiling Water Shot Dead by Police

      After watching the video, it appears the officer committed 2nd degree homicide. It did not appear there was any credible threat, and that he escalated needlessly. He rightfully will go to prison for this terrible act. I hope it doesn't turn into massive riots, but I am afraid it will. This...

      The Beretta-ness Thread

      I have a few Berettas, but they are not as nice as yours. How can you have an imported "ghost gun"? If you are finishing the firearm yourself from domestic unfinished receiver stock & parts, you can forgo the serial number. But for an imported firearm, I'm unclear how that can be possible.

      Ammo Vending Machines

      I bet they are high-priced though for the ammo. Because of the placement, I've never seen anything in a vending machine that was a good price. It only makes sense if they charge a large multiple of the price it's actually worth.

      Now the problem is... not enough speed bumps.

      Any solution except going after the gang-bangers... The leftists will continue to do anything except punish the actual criminals.

      Greenwood mall shooting

      You can sue anyone for anything. But you probably won't win. IMO the victims don't have a particularly strong case, but Simon will settle anyway due to publicity. Sueing them for the "anti-gun" signs should be a good reason, but legally such suits have rarely (if ever) succeeded. Sent...

      Greetings y'all, and welcome all you dang foreigners from other nations.

      I'm certainly not offended, but the reference goes over my head... Link to source?

      My new forever gun. With custom fitted wood.

      Stunning look. Out of curiosity, I had to look up what "Blaser F3" shotguns cost. :eek: 5 figures. Yes, that sounds like a "forever" gun. Congrats!

      Breaking Windows

      I've never seen a garage without another entrance. If the garage spring ever breaks or the garage door opener breaks, you'll be in a similar situation. Glad to hear the window worked!

      Waaazup w/this at the county fair?

      None that I've seen. Are you aware of any with metal detectors outside of Indianapolis?
