Boy you weren't wrong about the bump in the road. Cashed out about a week ago (if only I'd waited a week, but whatever). I saw the crypto market as a whole so steadily rising the past month, I figure things are a bit overvalued now, and for the most part I'm waiting until the next 20% correction. Also moved over from Coinbase to Coinbase Pro before I cashed out just to save on the fees (no fee to transfer over). My password isn't "password" and the authentication stuff is on, but now I need to learn how to trade in and out of a wallet just for added safety. Just picked up Wells-Fargo in my regular account since it's fallen the past few days. But otherwise hesitant to do much of anything on the market as I'm afraid of everything right now.

Am in the middle of People of Earth on Hulu and liking it. Lighthearted drama about a support group for people abducted by aliens and the twist is that they're right.

Played my first nine holes of golf in at least 15 years yesterday and it was was awesome. So much fun despite having heat exhaustion by the 5th hole and suffering my way through the rest. But lesson learned, when it's 95 degrees outside, maybe don't play that day. I have no distance yet, but somehow eight of my nine drives actually went straight.

I used to be an editor and there's certainly a lot that'll get missed or could use improvement in a resume and cover letter. Plus as a former proofreader, the more you read something the harder it gets to spot the mistake(s). Although I can't speak specifically on the quality of a service. Or if you're so willing, maybe you could delete some of the identifying information and post it here? There was a point I had three different resumes depending on the job I was applying to. I also liked using the description in the job posting and using those same words in my resume.

So is this the crypto drop come early or just a bump in the road? Now that I've lost whatever gains I made since late March, I'm unsure of just how heavily I should still be in crypto compared to normal stocks. Right now all I own for regular stocks is a college-apartment REIT and a nickel miner (my IRA I'm not wanting to move from a good fund I have). Both have been doing great, but with these inflation numbers I'm hesitant to be as active as I usually am. And speaking of, what do you all tend to focus on when inflation is spiking the way it has? Or is inflation mostly just about not holding much cash?

Wal-Mart's "sold out" page for the PS5 says "$400". I've been checking now and again for many weeks now. I finally found them available and Wal-Mart jacked up the price to $900. Now that they're sold out again, the advertised price is back to $400.

I'm pretty heavy in crypto and I held through it all. I'd figured on slowly getting out toward the end of summer and I'm still sticking with that plan. Three months ago I moved my regular stocks to mining (Vale) and a REIT (ACC) and those have done ok. Recently dumped a growth stock at a healthy loss and replaced it with Apple's recent dip.

Wow, I was really surprised to open Off Topic and have no new posts in this thread. I was figuring to see everyone freaking out.

Finished the three seasons of Loudermilk on Amazon and I thought that was pretty good.

I looked into staking my etherium and this is what Coinbase said: "After staking, you’ll be unable to trade, send, or sell the ETH you’ve staked until the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade is complete. However, later this year we expect to offer a way for you to trade your staked ETH." So I guess if I suddenly wanted out, I couldn't until Coinbase told me I could, and who knows how long that might be.

Crypto actually doesn't track with inflation.

Seems like that would be a particularly enjoyable day, grilling out and sitting there listening to the river crack.

I know of a couple who rented out a room in House on the Rock for their wedding. Was something like $30k. And I don't think they were particularly wealthy. Adding to it you've probably still got student loans at that point, gotta buy furniture and all that. And then save up for a baby in a year or three. I like what a cousin of mine did. Have a super-super-small wedding that basically only parents are invited to, do your honeymoon, and then invite everyone you want for a big picnic gathering. Plus since it was after the honeymoon the couple isn't exhausted from the day and more able to spend time with everyone else. ---- Meanwhile in crypto-land, I wonder if this is the start of that bigger gain everyone had been predicting. A cousin of mine called me yesterday looking to start with some play-around money but I had a hard time telling him that now is the right time, but rather suggested waiting for the next dip. I'm up 49% in crypto since 4/1, but weirdly I think this is going to turn out to be a bad lesson for me in expecting returns like that to be the norm. I made 1.4% in the real market for April and for a second I thought that was kinda bad, but it's actually not really that bad for a month.

The Astros hire a lot of computer hackers, don't they? Make sure to tell your son to tell off Attanasio when he goes in for the interview. "You've reduced this team to a laughing stock all for the glorification of your massive ego!"

I was/am 1-4 on finding a commissary (commercial kitchen) to start my hot dog business. The one that would take me is far away and I decided that would be too much work for a secondary income. Finally got a hold of the one I wanted and they're in the middle of remodeling and opening a second location, and they should have room for me in about two months. I won't have a full season of it, but that's no big deal at all. It'll give me more time to practice, scout a good location and get everything ready. I thought I could vend at a state park, but some very high ups sent a mass email saying I definitely can not.

They don't have dividends, but a few pay interest at varying rates. I'm holding Algorand through Coinbase right now and it pays 6%, so it's been automatically re-investing $0.41 for me every day. But considering how much crypto goes up and down, I certainly wouldn't use interest as any factor to invest or not. Plus I'd wait for prices to tank again before holding long-term. I hear a lot of folks expecting a tank sometime around Q3, so once they do and everybody says crypto is worthless I'll buy back and hold more long-term. Bitcoin has a set amount that will ever be mined to fight inflation and others don't have that limit. So it's my understanding that some like Algorand will do a controlled release of more to current owners as their way of adjusting things.

Coinbase has outrageous fees. A new broker or the SEC allowing crypto ETFs would really cut into Coinbase's market share. Only competitive advantage they seem to have right now is they're WAY easier to use, but that's not a particularly big barrier for someone else to cross. I won't be buying their IPO.

Can't say I've ever done a three-day proof, so what do you mean by "proper flour"? Do you mean a higher-end brand like King Arthur, or more the type of flour like a 00?
-
I do. More of a Roman style if you want to look up a recipe. I'll use bread flour instead of AP, and you definitely want a pizza stone (or better yet a pizza steel) if you want a crispy bottom, which you'll want to pre-heat for at least a half hour at whatever the hottest setting your oven will go. And if you get a pizza peel (or the back side of a big cookie sheet), some cornmeal will help prevent it from sticking to it. And jiggle the dough on the peel before you add toppings to make sure it slides around. And then get the toppings on in a hurry. Also a pretty good difference in taste and texture if you're able to proof the dough in the fridge overnight. Strangely I've yet to try a sourdough pizza crust, but I need to.

At least the advantage of meetings being virtual now is they can't see I'm on brewerfan and not paying attention to them.

There was a point I was close to buying an old fridge to rig up a curing room to make charcuterie, but then I realized nobody else but me would be eating it. The charcuterie fridge bags are great if you want to experiment and just try it, but too expensive if you want to make it more of a hobby. They're really not for dry-aging, though, or at least overkill.

Weird binance took a test deposit I made a few days ago (which still doesn't show up in my bank account), but now bigger deposits of $1000 are all failing. Despite the higher fees I'm tempted to go back to Coinbase. It's WAY more user-friendly, anyway.
-
Clearly you're going to have to buy a wine fridge and convert it to age your own steaks. It's really not much of a process.

Coinbase fees are a little higher than Binance, mostly.
