Decoding ETFs: Essential Factors to Consider for Wise Investments
Written by Delvin
Ever since their inception in 1993, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) have transformed the investment arena, providing investors with a wide array of options to diversify their portfolios. However, given the increasing number of available ETFs, it is crucial for investors to grasp the art of evaluating them effectively. In this article, we will delve into five pivotal factors to…

Okay but watcher originally wasn’t going to leave the old videos up. Like that is something that they backtracked on and are trying to gaslight people about. They did an interview with Variety where they told them that they were going to slowly remove their content from YouTube.
I’m trying to figure out if you’re footstamping at me or what, but babe it’s not worth it.
they’re going to do with their videos what they deem they need to bc they’re not actually our weird friends and we don’t know them like that, they’re guys who make video series who are trying to figure out how to keep a studio afloat in a landscape currently dominated by media conglomerates owned by people like jeff bezos. that is the cut and dry of it. yeah, they probably changed their minds and reversed their earlier decision, but if anything the way people are frothing at the mouth about losing their ~comfort content~ (which. yikes don’t get me started), one would think that would be a relief.
look, I had a whole essay here but I have shit to do so, short version: watcher could have strategized and rolled this whole thing out differently, and who knows, maybe more things will change. maybe they’ll change their content output schedule for their own channel. maybe they’ll add shows or cut , or re-scale for international viewer accommodation. I’d hate to be their PR person right now. but it is what it is. if you can’t pay them, don’t. do not subscribe. literally no one is forcing you. if you wanna see their stuff that badly, find someone who can and password share. they literally said it was fine.
cards on the table, I don’t even know if I’ll be getting a sub until October, or at all, bc I’m a grad student and I have bills. but I’m not about to sit here and act betrayed and hope they fail a. because I’m an adult who understands that no matter the size of the staff, providing employee benefits and insurance costs money, as does making any kind of for-fun content in our current hellscape, and b. it’s kind of shitty to watch people turn around and act like a media company is their friends personally stabbing them in the back and betraying some grand marxist ethos when it’s literally just people who don’t have things like mousecorp and netflix behind them trying to make their shit on their own terms. I’m not going to sit here and pretend they’re some rich greedy corpos trying to wring money out of us poor broke smol beans out of malice when they’re not even in the same ballpark. they’re allowed to ask to be paid for their time and their labor. if people can’t pay them, then they can’t pay them, end of. some things we just have to go without and that’s just how it shakes out; there are worse and more critical things I could be missing out on that I will be paying that money for instead.
but I’m not about to insist their stuff be free forever because ~I want it~. because that’s not what it comes down to, in the system that we currently operate and exist under. I’m not entitled to their shit like that and frankly no one is.
watching people openly hope they crash and burn bc it won’t be free anymore just makes me chalk it up to one more shitty example of how consumer culture has just made people not think about how stuff is made as long as they can get that instant gratification, but like. water is wet, news at 11.

so is everybody on the factorio reddit a megabase builder who defines "midgame" as "after the rocket silo is unlocked in vanilla"?
look at the comments on this, they are completely deranged. this is clearly a newbie on their first save who has heard you're supposed to play the game in a specific way or you're an idiot, who has totally overbuilt a massive bus beyond what they can currently supply, and people are saying it's good enough to start with but won't be in the longterm. what the fuck?

Today's fiber arts update: Guardy goes *AAAAA* about spinning tools.
I'm working on the third single of that merino yarn I'm making, and that leaves me with ample time to think - in this case about my wheel, and how it's simultaneously nearly perfect and a huge pain.
I love my wheel. It is small, it is a perfect combination of form and function, it is very familiar to me, and it cost me 40$. I love spinning on it.
But that 6:1 fixed ratio is a nightmare.
So sometimes I dream of a 14:1 wheel, leisurely spinning fine singles with some flavor of long draw, knowing that I'll get a yarn that'll hold together without having to treadle like I'm trying to set a speed record.
I'm gonna earn myself some extra money over the course of the holiday season, and I do want to put some of that into my hobbies, but I still neither have the extra space nor budget for an entire second wheel - and getting new parts made for old wheels is a complicated thing and I have no idea if I could even find someone to do that within Germany.
There isn't really a point to this aside from me being annoyed that my wheel limits my spinning speed so much.

anonymous ( and definitely not @raytm ) said :
Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is.
Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates:
May 15, May 16, May 19
June 17, June 18
July 14, July 16
August 14, August 15, August 17
Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.
Albert: I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know that Bernard doesn’t know too.
Bernard: At first I don’t know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now.
Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl’s birthday is.
So when is Cheryl’s birthday?
⸻ ❝ you must be joking . . . ❞ this ? this is the question he has been bestowed with ? ❝ surely , even you can tell the answer is july 16. ❞ mere child’s play , he thinks inwardly. there is no sense of pride or satisfaction from such an elementary problem. ❝ it’s a simple process of elimination. if i have to elaborate any further , then i will pay you no mind. ❞

wanted to start maybe introducing like a miniscule amount of whole wheat flour into the doughs I make sometime and see how it goes. and if I'm gonna bother with that, I may as well try to make a sourdough starter while I have whole wheat flour...
