How boring and devoid of any meaning is your life that this is what you think of?

Shut up.  You have 1,100 pages of comments.  How boring and devoid of any meaning is your life? or my life? or anyone spending any of their time posting in an anonymous finance forum?

Sometimes I'll let Win11 do it's cycling.  Other times I'll just force the Windows XP meadow.  I know a guy who has the Windows XP sounds as the startup/shut-down sounds on his Tesla. Locking is also a Monty Python "Nee"

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
