Do we still say username checks out?

I've always been able to vote within 10 min or less. Must vary a lot by location.

They assert that how people bet, whether on the benign (who will be the next James Bond?) or the consequential (will Israel and Hamas reach a cease-fire before the end of the year?), can help forecast the future. Because there’s money involved, the thinking goes, these prediction markets leverage the collective wisdom of what people actually think will occur, not what they hope will.

DJT stock ticker would like a word.

jk We all know the DJT stock is overvalued because of money laundering and selling access rather than "collective wisdom".

Wasn't speaking to your specific home value. I was adding to the point that every homeowner is not a millionaire.

If someone has a house worth $350,000 but they've only paid off $50,000 from the principal, then they aren't worth $350,000. I'd argue they're not even worth $300,000.

Miss a few payments, and they lose the house plus whatever payments they'd already made. That's not personal wealth. We're just living in the bank's house until it's paid off and the deed gets transferred.

Plus the bank owns any house with a mortgage. It's not your house until it's paid off. Can't be a millionaire with $400,000 in assets and $375,000 in debt.

Makes sense. The one by me is in a nice area without any other drive throughs within 5-10min of it. No need to discount there.

I tried the app. It offered "free medium fries" every now and then, but that was pretty much it. Wasn't even worth installing.

I'm down with MeidasTouch. What's the cat for?

I don't believe them either. Just saying that's the lazy excuse they gave.

They say he was going off script for that part. But of course they would say that.

They were really caught off guard by that and are frankly a little disappointed with the assailant.
