@Polymarket Obviously. With a nuclear power plant, you at least have a chance of getting super powers.

I had this exact problem in 2014.
First, read GRRM's other stuff. In particular, Dreamsongs. His collection of short stories. Many of them are just as good as ASOIAF.
Diving into the Fantasy Genre after that, here's my rankings:
1. The Way of Kings, Brandon Sanderson
2. The Blade Itself, Joe Abercrombie
3. The Lies of Locke Lamore, Scott Lynch
4. The Gunslinger, Stephen King
5. Blood Song, Anthony Ryan
6. American Gods, Neil Gaiman
7. The Black Prism, Brent Weeks
8. The Prince of Thorns, Mark Lawrence
9. Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson
Move onto Sci-fi after that.

I have only ever read Tolkien and George R. R. Martin but enjoyed both. What other fantasy is worth reading?

I think President @realDonaldTrump’s goal of reducing credit card interest rates is a worthy and important one. My concern about capping rates at 10% is that doing so will inevitably cause millions of Americans to have their cards cancelled as credit card companies lose the ability to adequately price subprime credit risk.
Consumers denied credit cards will be forced to turn to loan sharks whose rates and terms will be vastly worse for borrowers. While 20% or more is a high rate, loan sharks can charge multiples of these rates, and the cost of default can be physical harm or worse.
I have no investments in the credit card space so I am not the expert, but the market for credit cards appears highly competitive. The best way to bring down rates would be to make it more competitive by making the regulatory regime more conducive to new entrants and new technologies.
I commend the President for his focus on affordability for all Americans. Mortgage spreads and rates are coming down significantly due it his actions. Finding a way to bring down credit card rates without taking credit away from many Americans would have a very positive impact on the most disadvantaged Americans.

@LeadingReport We've long been out of good ideas; but good to see we still have bad ideas a plenty.

@EricLDaugh @pulte Doesn't help new buyers at all! And the idea that this will convince people to move and trickle down through the system is laughable.

🚨 JUST IN: The Trump administration is now looking into normalizing PORTABLE MORTGAGES - allowing Americans to keep their interest rate, term and lender when moving to a different home.
FHFA Director Bill Pulte: "We are actively evaluating portable mortgages."
This also allows you to avoid paying early repayment charges on the current loan. Thousands saved.
Basic rundown: "Instead of taking out a completely new mortgage, you use the money raised from the sale of your property to pay off your existing mortgage and take out a new mortgage on the same terms with your existing provider to cover the cost of buying your new home."

@Steelersdepot @506sports Don't understand why Northern Virginia would be getting that Giants and Dallas over Pittsburgh

@SpinninBackfist I love Dern, who doesn't; but I think Jandiroba can win this and disrupt the UFC marketing roadmap. Jandiroba is tough and underappreciated.

We could really see Dern become a champ 😭

@unusual_whales Yes… prices are coming down, houses are sitting longer… rate cut SHOULD be coming, refi later.

You simply can't talk like this and miss weight for the third time in your career. Truly embarrassing. I am a big fan of Battle, but you have to call a spade a spade.

"Yes, I should be on the main card....Nursulton is dragging me down. This isn't the UFC's fault this is Nursulton's fault and he's going to have to pay for it!" Bryan Battle is blaming Nursulton Ruziboev for his low placement on the #UFC319 card

@mmagonewild It's a 9; but it's about to be a 6 when Khamzat pulls out.

@unusual_whales We should not ban these politicians from trading. We should make them report it immediately with severe penalties for infractions. Current system is obviously broken and if we ban them, they’ll find a work around.
