    OT: Baseball Trivia

    Stanton Freeman Harper Goldschmidt Not sure if it’s them, but they seem 350 caliber. Guessing Judge and Ohtani haven’t been around long enough. Thought about McCutchen too just because he’s been playing forever. Edit: wow just looked it up and see I’m missing a name that seems obvious. Just...

    Interesting discovery of recent years is aging isn’t perfectly linear—instead there are ‘cliffs.’ One tends to feel more effects of their age after passing one of these milestones: the two biggest ones are early-mid 40s then again early-mid 60s.

    I looked this up too, seems that it is higher but that’s because they have an older population (and they smoke more)

    OT: Cancer related to alcohol

    I’m not anti-medicine or anything, but antibiotic use was pretty out of control by the time millennials were kids. Basically prescribed for every stuffy nose. Aside from creating resistant strains of bacteria, there’s some evidence suggesting childhood antibiotic use is correlated with earlier...

    This is on purpose—they weaken their currency to mitigate the impact of tariffs. The tariff increases cost, but weakening the currency means the dollar buys more. If you’re focused on exports, weak currency means your stuff is cheaper…importing a strong currency means you can buy more…so this...

    Bill Ackman is terrified that Trump will hold the last few days’ comments against him.

    OT: Stock and Investment Thread

    We don’t have any deals finalized yet. My point here isn’t that we shouldn’t use tariffs or we shouldn’t try to renegotiate trade agreements…I’m not opining on that. A hardline regime of tariffs was announced a few days ago, it caused a lot of equity volatility, then rates started to go higher...

    If this is solely about China then we’ve stabilized our position to more broadly hold firm on China…but then what did we accomplish today except undo some unnecessary damage from the last week that destabilized our position in the first place? And indicate to other trade partners that in 90 days...

    Of course they want to make a deal and trade with us, but if our negotiating position is weakened, the terms of said deal fluctuate in favor of the other party.

    This isn’t at all a critique of tariffs or the idea of bringing manufacturing to America…we can each form our own opinions about how that should or shouldn’t play out. If it’s what we’re pursuing, I don’t see the accomplishment today. Treasuries have been taking a beating and we were staring...

    I think the route in treasuries basically called the administration’s bluff here. This move at least (hopefully) stabilizes rates. In 90 days maybe the market behave more orderly and administration can play tough again, or some low hanging fruit agreements are reached to diminish the impact in...

    Yeah, I had no problem with the change, but ultimately I don’t think it’s that one style is superior than another…whatever you choose to do, you have to be comfortable, commit to it, and execute it well.

    OT: Wimsatt in the portal

    Offense looked decent down the stretch this year, reminded me of the step forward the passing game took in the second half of the 2006 season. Maybe something that carries into 2025. Agree on GW, he’s objectively a weak passer, but there’s more than one way to skin the cat and with him and KM...
