@jacktla I’ve been selling little by little into this roaring frenzy. Dollar-cost-averaging in reverse.
Will I be wrong? Maybe, at least I’ve taken gains, reduced risk exposure, even though I lose the chance of greater upside. Can’t time the top.

Back during the first tech bubble when my regular airport taxi driver was trading his portfolio on a laptop in the front passenger seat, I knew the end was near. 📉

I'm so mad at everyone in my life who told me never to pick stocks, that smarter ppl will always outcompete u. I could have been making so much money

Through some luck my kids attend a private school that lots of ppl like. Was on a panel w prospective parents & they asked what I did to get my kids in. I quipped that some kids are good readers or athletes but my son majored in making mudballs in preschool, which was true lol.

One of the most wildly surprising things to me is how "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is so massively popular throughout Asia.

@nomadpossum Ooooo nice!!! Or go to Singapore and eat chicken rice followed by chili crab followed by satay lol!
English
@jacktla We need to go to Wenchang....pic from old shophouse restaurant. They also specialise in coconut chicken and pig's trotters. 🤪
English
@jacktla The ginger beer (no alcohol) is really great. Can’t imagine what they’re gonna charge for that in the U.S…
English
@nomadpossum Hahaha definitely not here for the best portion. The biggest maybe lol. Didn't know it was called wenchang either.
English
@jacktla I've always said this will be my last meal request but I guess I'll have to end up on death row in Pasadena, Wenchang or Singapore 😆Never knew it is called Wenchang chicken.
English
@travelingman88 Yes hopefully this is closer to the original than all the dreck that followed.
English
@jacktla I loved the original, remakes are very rarely as good as the original, although I will go watch this
English
Funny how the motto of this franchise is "There can be only one" but there are a million sequels & spin off shows that make no sense and now a reboot lol. One of my favorite movies (the original), so hope this one's good! ⚔️

Oh fuck, COMING SOON: Henry Cavill is Connor MacLeod in the highly-awaited remake of the classic HIGHLANDER. An immortal Scottish swordsman faces off with other immortal warriors, because there can only be one. Directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick franchise), the film brings an impressive cast with academy award winner Russell Crowe, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou, Marisa Abela, Kevin McKidd & Jeon Jong-seo. Actress Morena Baccarin also has joined the cast.

@nomadpossum Hahaha who cares if it takes ten years off your life. They're the last ten!! (used to tell that joke when I was younger but no longer lol)

@jacktla I know what you mean, uber fatty deliciousness. It should make your arteries scream out in horror.
English
@nomadpossum It is really nice having so much chicken rice nearby, and I know it's a high class problem but none of them have the supremely glistening chicken fat rice like you get from the better places in Singapore and Bangkok lol. But this does the job nicely still!
English
@jacktla Aaaaagh! Look at that! Poetry on a plate, so jealous. You are so damn clucky to have this near you.
English
@jacktla You’ve given me THREE bookmarks today😂 I love microwave ease! I bought frozen prepped yakitori and have a jar of Thai spicy peanut sauce and was planning to airfrying the yakitori…will try making a batch of the steamed sticky rice as a practice to go with! Ordered the 1kg!
English
Went to check it out and it's ¥2100 and I lost all interest immediately🤣

So there’s a Thai place near work that has mango sticky rice that looks like this. Ai estimates it’s 500kcal but I bet it’s more. I wonder if they’ll serve me just that for lunch…
English
@hizaga Nice! Yeah a test run or two can always just eat it with conbini yakitori as a stand in for Thai moon ping / grilled pork skewers lol. My mom actually makes sticky rice in the microwave and it comes out fine. thaitable.com/recipes/sticky…

@jacktla @danno_online If you do that here, you’ll get a shot of rum in ya ginger beer
