You may have to go to a digital signal or just use DVD as the coax cable is almost dead. Cable companies are going with wifi boxes now with no coax option.

Good plan, except you can't watch Brewers games on mlbtv, in market that is. Well may be not for 2022 but for 2023 it may be possible. https://nypost.com/2021/10/17/mlb-in-talks-to-launch-nationwide-streaming-service-for-home-games/

NFT's are probably going to be needed for the metaverse. I know the sandbox is technically a metaverse but I see it more like AOL than the next internet of things. The metaverse is basically the next internet or so the theory goes. The metaverse will need things like NFT's to function properly I am just not sold on it being a NFT it maybe something else that hasn't come up yet or is just in development.

Also a fellow graduate in Finance and I am finally using my degree to do Finance stuff. Well sort of I do all of the tech stuff now for a finance team but I do get to help with some of the finance stuff. This new position I lucked into only hired me because I have all this experience in Alteryx, R, SAS, Python and Tableau as the people who were helping them out left the company. Also if you graduated within the last couple of years with a degree in finance and have some tech skills in Python or R you would get hired really quickly. The company I am working for is basically sending people with no experience in finance at all to fintech classes all the time and also project management especially for AGILE certifications mostly as SCRUM or SCRUM Masters. Those are the two things most banks are looking for right now. Basically SCRUM and SCRUM masters to lead the projects for the fintech's that the company is having a hard time filling.

I liked the new Venom movie but that is me. I would like just about anything with Venom in it. Probably my second favorite comic book character behind Deadpool. If you are not really into the MCU or comic books probably best to stay away. I watched Dune last weekend and I loved it but I can see why most wouldn't like this movie. It takes awhile to get into the movie and it ends about half way through the book. Action is rather light until about the end of the movie. I guess I am just a sucker for sci-fi movies.

Reading this article brought a real smile to my heart. As someone who graduated college in 2008 and spent essentially the next 4 years trying to find a job I can totally related to being on the other side and being treated the same way. Well, well, well. How the turntables... I really hate slate but there is that rare one in a billion chance that I agree with the premise that they have but the drivel that comes after it is just uggg. Companies have been doing this for a long time now and still do. The generic rejection letters where they don't even have your name correct on them to an HR rep who completely disappears. I have been offered jobs in the past where I have sent an email or called the HR rep I would be accepting then weeks or even months later I finally get the generic response of sorry that position is no longer open. I have even had one call me a year later and asked if I was still interested in the job. The worst HR is definitely AMEX whenever an HR rep contacts me about a position there they never send an active link to the position. I have to actually dig for the actual link to the job or I have to reply to the email about four or five times until I get a link I can actually use. Not sure I would even accept a job at AMEX their HR department seems very poor.

At least they are being honest about it instead of just using some filler words to cover up what they are actually saying.

YouTube TV free trial

You could get a Amazon Fire TV Recast. They are about $250 and they usually come in a pack of two. This will allow you to DVR over the air and there are some cheaper options also.

Dune looks ok. Though I will probably just watch that on HBO at home. The new Venom movie looks decent. Other than that it is the Matrix and the new Spider-Man movie. Everything else not really excited about really.

It is because it competes with their imaginary money.

I have been watching Heels on Starz. So far it has been good, I like the characters and the wrestling and the drama kind of bring back some nostalgia from the 80's and 90's.

Block chain which is the same as crypto is being incorporated into every single major bank in the US and there is a reason for this. Block chain is far more secure than what the banks are using now. Even the closed networks like the one American Express has is not as secure as block chain is. There are also some small benefits to cost saving by going to block chain. Crypto is still in its infancy and is still growing. I don't believe this is the final state of crypto. What crypto will look like in 10-years is still fairly unknown it could change completely from a currency to a financial instrument where credit is tied to. There are a lot of different avenues that crypto could go down.

It is no different than investing in any other stock out there. While we can't make more gold on our planet we can definitely mine it on asteroids and possibly other planets like Mars. So while gold has a big protective moat right now that may not be true in the future how far in the future I have no idea.

I am really liking the coin Cardano and that is my new long coin to hold. Currently trading under $3 a coin.

So you are saying it is like WCW back in da day?

Have been listening to Morgan Wade a bit lately.

I bought more ethereum when it dipped to 1860. I am still up from when I bought so I am good. I also bought some Cardano but timed it wrong and bought at 1.68. Missed the bottom by about 45 minutes late stupid emergency meeting at work cost me about $2500. Oh well I'll just hold this one for longer than I wanted to originally.

Even if your wages go up during a moderate inflation period you are still at where you were previously before the inflation so your buying power hasn't really increased it just stayed the same and in some cases you are actually making less. When you have a raise in CPI like what we have seen you see the buying power go down even when wages have gone up. CPI spikes can be attributed to many things like an increase in labor costs. If Bob at Joes farm starts making $15 an hour when they were making $10 an hour there is going to be an increase in the price of goods from Joes farm. Bob is now making more an hour but his buying power may have actually decreased even though he is making more an hour. The inflation on the price of goods cancelled out the increase in his wages as he is no longer able to buy what he bought when he was making $10 an hour. We are seeing an increase in your common consumer goods (fuel, food, clothing, etc.) when you see increases like this the ones that are hit the hardest are the ones at the lower income brackets and they tend to lag far behind the increases in inflation. Even the middle class tend to fall behind the increase in inflation. The US Dollar has become weaker over the years and this is evident in the price for Bitcoin and Gold. It is not that the price of Gold or Bitcoin has been increasing it is that the value of the US Dollar has been decreasing along with the other fiat currencies. Yes some inflation is good but when you start seeing large increases in the CPI that is not moderate inflation.

Bad news for the economy today with the CPI numbers. It is probably a good idea to start moving some money if you haven't already to Bitcoin or Ethereum to hedge any inflation losses that are going to be coming. If you don't like the digital currencies there is always gold or silver.

I hate R! I prefer Alteryx or Tableau over R. I will even take SAS over R.

Another idea is to get an ARDUINO or a raspberry pi if you haven't gotten one already. There are a lot of cool things you can do with both of them and even some of the basic younger kids stuff are rather fun to do. Google does have a summer camp for coding that is geared more towards high school aged people. https://buildyourfuture.withgoogle.com/programs/computer-science-summer-institute/

While a degree in computer science would be good he should also do hackathons and other events depending on what he is interested in. A coding boot camp would also be beneficial if he hasn't had much in terms of coding experience.

Toews hasn't looked healthy for the last 3-years something is definitely wrong with him. I hope it isn't something serious but he has been very lethargic and slow the past few years. Maybe it was just age that caught up to him but he has looked like a 35-year old defenseman with one good leg. The Blackhawks need to reset and get under the cap if they are every going to win again.

You keep on repeating these lies? Why?
