Sit back and listen and tell me this isn't some of the best live recordings you've ever heard and are able to pick out individual instruments in this 18 minute journey.

I've never been able to just listen to them in the background when their tracks come up on random play.....always find myself sitting back, listening, closing my eyes and just absorb.

Would love to hear them live in concert. One day, maybe.

Moby

Awesome :)

Just scored tickets to a very "only in New York" kind of event with Moby for Jodie and I tonight.

Snowday....shmo day....we're here to party even if we have to walk there !!

Very happy.

Personal fiefdoms

lol just noticed that https://www.facebook.com/KeatingBigPicture/?fref=nf  has banned my account from commenting because we disagree on some positions (mainly arround tax imputation).


Such a piss weak move @daemon.blake.37


PK would be laughing his ass off at how you cant handle anyone disagreeing with your positions and take the slime bucket method of witholding political discourse.


Enjoy your fiefdom.

Newborn Wireless 106 Bowery St New York

Had a cracked screen on my Samsung s7 edge. Replaced it at Newborn Wireless at 106 bowery and thought they did a great job......until 4 weeks later when I get a black spot on the top right.

Went back to see whats up.....told "you must have dropped again" nope not a mark on the new glass. Told....had to pay for new screen as only 1 week warranty.....

Told them thanks but no thanks and went to King Digital around the corner - he said its was a cheap aftermarket display they used instead of OEM.

Would I could give a negative or 0 star if I could. Wont be back.

Unthinkable: An Extraordinary Journey Through the World's Strangest Brains

I’ve just started reading the most incredible book on “brains” and research into how the brain acts/reacts in different people.


Its not a technical book however I’m finding the first few chapters ridiculously fascinating.

I came across it when reading this article (and might be enough info for most people eg to work out not your cup of tea) - https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/feb/10/my-world-would-flip-lost-sharon-wonder-woman?CMP=fb_gu

Living longer....only if you've got the cash

If you think people hate 1%ers now....wait until they realize that rich people are able to live twice as long....

FS Labs - chrome password stealing tool

Like ive said before….every app you install on your pc opens up a new attack vector.

 

Do you really want to run that trial demo tool etc?

I hope FlightSimLabs is out of business before the end of the year for pulling hacks like this.

Pool pump energy market manipulation

Wow....never thought of this before, you could hack pool pumps remotely and use the "inside knowledge" that pumps were about to turn on to short the market etc.

- http://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/households-to-hand-over-control-of-backyard-pool-in-power-trial-20180219-p4z0v6.html

I mean realistically most pool pumps are on a timer and how often do you pay attention to is it on or off etc.

I wonder how many pools you would need to hack to move the market enough to make it worthwhile?

What to do with your USA 401k when moving back to Australia and can i put it into superannuation

Question was asked in one of the Aussie expat groups on Facebook and I thought it was worth posting my answer here as well

lol if reading this article doesn't infuriate you.....then you don't understand the question.

US Pension transfer and withdrawal to Australia. 401(k), IRA, Roth IRA, 403(a), 403(b). Tax minimization - https://txmchartered.com/us-pension-transfers-to-australia-401k-ira-403a-403b-australian-tax-implications







My answer is lol....or John tells the ATO to GAGF and withdraws the entire sum BEFORE arriving in Australia and doesn't end up owing the ATO $83,632 on top of what he already paid the IRS.

10 year bond

Want to know why your shares are doing so well.....hint its not cause you are smart.

This chart still blows me away how much the savings/bond markets have been manipulated by the fed - long term average of 10yr bond 5% or higher.

Compare that with the market since the GFC.

With this plus QE.....its no wonder we are seeing runaway stock returns (eg too much cash sloshing around).
