That's generally why when you're younger people tend to put their retirement funds into riskier investments and over time as you get closer to retirement you move portions of your money into less risky things that don't have the potential volatility of the stock market so that by the time you retire you don't have to worry about the stock market dipping and blowing out your retirement funds. At least that's one way to do it; obviously this isn't investment advice and you should seek your own professional investment advice.

There isn't any CSS used on that page, it's all using old HTML only styling and I'd wager that it hasn't really been touched much since, ya know... 1997.

Would you say the same of a parent that gets drunk at night?

It's probably just some old keyword stuffing/SEO to get the page to show up under searches for all of those keywords.

I always wonder if maybe the devs are wanting an out from finishing the project but still want the cred for working on it. So they make the announcement fully knowing Nintendo will come down on them which will then alleviate them from having to complete the project.

It'll probably be like anytime someone decides to outsource work to a less skilled worker. You'll either end up with an inferior product or you'll have to scrap what you got and redo it at the cost of more time and a higher price thus completely negating the whole reason for outsourcing in the first place. So many people making these decisions can't see past the next quarter on the graph.

I could, but I don't personally care that much about Vantablack.

There is a group (person) that makes an actual super deep black paint called Black 4.0 and if memory serves correctly they actually started with a jab at Kapoor by originally making the Pinkest Pink paint and banned Kapoor from buying it. Looks like they have a lot of different paints these days and are definitely worth checking out.

As much as I dislike Kapoor, technically Vantablack isn't a pigment or regular paint by any means. From my understanding it is actually carbon nano tubes with who knows what else mixed in it and I believe it's actually very dangerous to be around without proper PPE. So in that sense, it makes sense to me that he "owns" it.

Still don't like the guy though.

DMT is the main psychoactive compound in Ayahuasca, the other main component in Ayahuasca is going into be an MAOI which prevents enzymes from breaking down the DMT when you you ingest it orally which also allows for a much longer trip because it now takes your body longer to clear out the DMT. There may also be some other alkaloids in Ayahuasca, but the main component is going to be DMT.
