Since I got my first taste of the Hittites battle formations. 0/10, would not do again.

Ok heres a random one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dslLBsHkVzE You expect maybe some background music on a war or nature documentary or something, but especially vlog type informational channels are now doing it. This music on this particular video is better than most and I can almost live with it. This trend just started in the last 6 months. Once you start looking for it, its inescapeable.

A bear will never bore you with excessive bragging about his gaming prowess.

I’m actually a bit confused myself.

This could be framed as improving the society up to the Mad Max level, which probably would at least be more adventurous and quite a bit of fun.

He got into a fight with one of the other kids working at Waffle House but he also got valuable lessons into work life balance.

America may need to sacrifice some for the greater good.

Holy crap! Sometimes I am so wrong, that I’m right!

Downvoted so soon? It only shows the quality of this crazy idea.

On the minus side we are cannon fodder but on the plus side the blue alien girls are hot.

You probably won’t be cold ever, with a bear.

You can always call on a bear to open jars for you.

As long as you don’t call a bear a furry, he or she is happy and its a wonderful relationship.

Bears always listen and cuddle, as long as they aren’t hungry.

There are many ways to hedge, and for many different reasons. Lets say I want to invest in Home Depot because I think a lot of people are going to start building new houses and renovating their old ones. That means that lumber, construction companies, and other house things like appliances and nifty faucets should have a greater demand.

But what if I am wrong?

I don’t want to bet the farm, yolo and lose my investment. I haven’t done any analysis of Home Depot vs Lowes, but lets say from your analysis you have determined that Home Depot performs better in the market and overall is a much better and more profitable company than Lowes. You can buy 100 shares of Home Depot and simultaneously sell 100 shares of Lowes. If you are right and the real estate market goes up, you make money, but less than you would if you did not hedge. If you are totally wrong and the whole real estate market tanks, you lose money on your Home depot trade but because both stocks are tanking, you are making more money on your Lowes trade than you are losing on your Home Depot trade. So you are dead wrong on your gamble but you still make money.

Another way to hedge this trade would be to buy 100 shares of Home Depot and then buy an option to sell 100 shares of Home depot at the same price. This is like buying insurance, but prevents you losing more than the cost of buying the option. If you are right and home depot goes higher, the cost of the option cuts into your profits, but you are in a still profitable trade with less downside risk. If you are wrong you lose only the cost of the option.

There are a lot more techniques than this, all of them have risks and you can be wrong on all of them. Hedging can also take advantage of protecting against things that people dont think about very often, like your currency getting stronger or weaker against another currency, or interest rates or oil supply changing, or the sudden flooding of the market with Ten Forward Star Trek memes.

Try the history section of your library for audiobooks and printed books. I read one about Tea which was fascinating about how the East India company stole Tea plants from China and tried to grow them in India, but they came out black, which gave us English Black Tea.

I think harvesting timer for witchy herbs would be a harmonious use.

Expecting the fabrege egg to be hidden where he left it in the oven, hank looks upon the torso of one of his children instead.

The scientific reason is that the 350 watt drum connected to the dryer motor vibrates at 55 hertz which stimulates the female solar plexus. This creates a chain reaction and urges males to assert dominance and proceed with a mating ritual. When you combine this with the enticingly large sums of cash at a typical laundromat, you can see this is a devastating combination. The scantily clad hot body people is a side effect, not the cause.

Check your local library for many WW2 historical accounts of the french resistance. Madam Fourcades secret war, Virginia Hill are a couple of my favorites.

Also memoirs from FBI and CIA agents, and anything on SOE, Churchills “Special Operations Executive” division which had as its objective to defeat the Germans covertly in Nazi occupied France, which he started because he wanted more results than the old school tie boys in traditional British intelligence.

For that matter accounts of the beginnings of the American CIA in WW2 are interesting too.

On all these, enough time has passed that there aren’t national security concerns any more, technology changes but the principles are always the same. Interesting reading and you can learn a lot, especially how networks are penetrated and how spies were caught.
