Good collection of investments. Definitely consider Polygon, Polkadot and Chainlink as well. My top 3 are ETH, Cardano and equal shares into XLM & Polygon. I have some LTC as well. ETH & Cardano are excellent long term investments & you could stake them for 5-8% interest depending on the pools you're using. And even though Bitcoin has been moving sideways for 3 months it's still worth investing into for the long term. I personally don't own any but if it dips below 49-50K I might buy in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll get a few chainlink shares eventually though. It would provide a good batting avg compared to the home run swings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more likely if sticking to paved roads, but when I've been driving on graveled logging roads I've had that same horrendous squeal that stops when braking, and in those cases it was a pebble getting caught between the rotor and its shield. (This was ~40 years ago. I don't know if rotor shields are still used.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yeah, I was Moderna ... first dose ten days ago. No reaction that I was aware. Still, I have family that ranged from 2 day stints on couch and loathing ... to no reaction from either dose. But not sure if they took Moderna or Pfifer or whatever... I guess the safe route is that if one has the latitude to decide, clear your calendar for a day or two afterwards in the off chance of some dull headed waken state of fugue. Chalk it up as a one-off systemically mandated time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 “In 2021, food-at-home prices are expected to increase between 1.0 and 2.0 percent, and food-away-from-home prices are now expected to increase between 2.5 and 3.5 percent. Despite these predicted increases, inflation for most food categories is expected to be at or below their 20-year historical averages—exceptions include nonalcoholic beverages, other foods, and fresh fruit.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not even subtle Food is technically up about 4% year over year....but that is more than recent years. We've become accustomed to very low food inflation since the recession in 2007-2009. A couple years in there actually had slightly declining food prices (2016 most recently). Global food inflation is a bit higher though...some countries are experiencing double digit food infation because of higher energy costs in addition to the more modest food inflation. The United States is lucky in that it can grow way more food than it needs and doesn't need to import a lot of staples...and the two countries we happen to import the most food from are right next to us (Canada/Mexico) which keeps transports costs down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
