    If I die today, it's because I woke up and saw a cold blueberry red bull on my nightstand. I drank it. I'm 100% home alone.

    I mean, I'm assuming Matt stopped by and left it there for me?

    Fuck it! I'm anemic and exhausted.

    Consider a total stock market index fund. That way you're not gambling on individual companies, but banking on the fact that on average the entirety of the stock market increases ~7% over the long term.

    I was reading a finance book recently that gives this exact advice. Glad to know someone else recommends it as well!

    Do you know a couple I could add to my watch? Right now I'm mostly watching S&P 500 but I added a couple Vanguard total market funds to my list just now and thanks for the advice!

    didn't you see the local news last night? an unknown person is breaking into peoples houses and leaving a cold blueberry red bull on their nightstands. Some of the cold blueberry red bull's have a poison symbol on the bottom of the cans and some don't. Did you look at the bottom of the can?

    I'm not sure if you're allowed to invest in them through accorns (i'm not very familiar with it at all) - but I put my money in a vanguard target retirement fund. VTIVX. It's a invest and forget type fund. It automatically allocates money between the total stock market and bonds. Right now it's at 90% stocks and 10% bonds - but as it gets closer to 2045 - it'll allocate more to bonds to keep it less risky.

    Ok,I got an invitation in my email to do a $20 hit about security over 4 days. Is this a good one or worth it? Seems suspect.
    Here is some of the email copy and pasted.

    Hello,

    some weeks ago you participated via MTurk in our survey on password security and you indicated that you would be willing to participate in a follow-up study. With this email, we would like to kindly invite you to this follow-up work, which will be compensated with $20.

    The corresponding HIT is named "Use Chrome Plugin to Study Password Security" and should be visible to you.
    Please note that the allocated time for finishing the HIT is set to 6 days, however, the actual workload is around 1-2 hours distributed over 4 days. This should give you enough time to accept the HIT and inspect the required work without pressure of finishing it.

    Bet it was those church ladies.

    I hope you're not spending much time on the move to CA today. Because as far as they're concerned your trip has been rerouted to HELL.
