I'm sooooo ready for #Monsterdon this time around that I even got my custom-made Bingo card for it.. apparently Bingo Baker is a website that generates Bingo cards that won't be like somebody else's Bingo card for the same movie.
You'd think that Illinois would have learned from its Clinton mistake--the nuke plant at Clinton is a big reason why there is no longer an Illinois Power Company.

A repeat airing of "The Americas" (Mexico) happening today, narrated by Tom Hanks, also covered the migration of #MonarchButterflies tonight too. Monarch bonanza today! #HappyEaster indeed!
Begging pardon for that last BytesEU boost because their link did NOT take one to the page they were posting about re: hereditary membership in UK's House of Lords. I have the direct link and I'll put it at the end of this missive.
Before Starmer was made PM I'd heard rumors that Labour would do away with the House of Lords, and long prior to that, when I got into arguing with people claiming that Britain is a democracy with a constitutional monarchy, I always brought up the undemocratic House of Lords as frequent case in point as well as decried any usage of the terms "Upper House" and "Lower House" especially when applied to the U.S. Congress.
One does achieve membership in the House of Lords by election or by royal appointment, exceptions given for those inherited seats. One should never be able to inherit a seat in government. The royal figureheads should not be active participants in actual government and yet in the UK the royals meddle in both houses. The UK is long overdue for the change for the fully-elected Houses of Commons and Lords.

This is for all the wet-behind-the-ears #TechBros who hold the highest fantasies about building a future of AI, Tesla vehicles, and manufacturing plants all run by robots.
I ran across an article about how Teslas with significant mileage on 'em are running into maintenance issues, cure for which is to just buy a new Tesla. All you born-yesterdays had better come to grips with the fact that machinery requires maintenance, and if you think no prob because robots can fix robots, you're neglecting the requirement for replacement parts. Robots require more frequent replacement of parts than humans do because a part is worn out when its movement becomes too sloppy to respond to calibration. Robotics requires tight tolerances and even when a part still functions, it'll be operating out of tolerance and when the slop can't be compensated for by software, the parts require replacement.
Looking forward to spotting giant caterpillars in tomorrow's #monsterdon, and I've prepared in advance by locating where I might view "The First Men In The Moon" on a website that won't object to my ad blockers (which rules out YouTube). Both Daily Motion and Bit Chute have too many commercial interruptions so I've settled on Pluto.
In this process I took a side trip to the Wiki page of one Charles Beaumont, who has enjoyed frequent accreditation in The Twilight Zone, and found that he's written for a number of movies that, so I think Monsterdonians would do well to check out his Wiki page too--he died in his 30s with 2 types of dementia, poor fellow.
Just letting everyone know that I block Ghost on the Half Shell because of his half-baked economic "theories". Each time when I challenge them, he has snookered followers who block me and therefore block any discussion. They're all ACHTUNG jackbooted about it, though Ghost at least attempts to defend his positions initially, then quits. They're indefensible. #economy #trade #currency #markets
@plan-A Sorry, but Belgian colonization of Rwanda was not required for its massacre. Simply being accused of being a Belgian collaborator was responsible.

Here is a Roman D20 carved from crystal in the 3rd century AD. These were used, historians suspect for telling fortunes. However, no one can *prove* they weren't used for some kind role playing game. Which is what getting a fortune told with a die is kind of like anyways if you ask me.
Okay, just read an individual's explanation of how DNS works. I do not know if they adlibbed the entire comment or if they are just a victim of poor information. Suffice it to say that I have read more reliable information posted by @Low Quality Facts. I am not sure why people feel it is necessary to make comments on a topic they obviously do not understand. I was going to explain to them how they were so misguided and give them a few links to useful resources to learn about DNS though I decided it would be a waste of time. So I wasted my time making this post instead 😉.
Precious little Doctor Who could be found with this, though. Precious little Doc Martin, too. I've found a Yankee substitute for the Brit-flavoured time traveler, and that's Alfred Hitchcock. I haven't heard a jail referred to as a stir in friggin' AGES, and I heard that in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents just last night.
Sick of paying for streaming services? These films and TV series are free
From real-life stories to new comedies, ditch that $20-per-month streaming service and let us introduce to you the best of film and TV you can watch right now without paying a cent.
To be fair, any radio pirate's choice of this band is also limited by its propagation issues during certain parts of the day. They'd do better with a Chicken Band transceiver further up in frequency. Sure there are daily propagation issues with that too, but it would still be an improvement.
Trumpism is the symptom of a less happy, less trusting society.
But we are far from powerless to change this.
There are several ways we can each make a difference – starting with our own minds and local communities and finishing with helping others around the world.
What gives me hope is realizing we have the potential to understand what’s going wrong in our society and do our part to improve it.
The Best Stock Strategy for Long-Term Wealth Building Building long-term wealth doesn’t happen overnight. It requires discipline, patience, and a smart investment strategy. Among the many methods available, one stands out for its reliability and effectiveness: a long-term, diversified, buy-and-hold best stock strategy strategy. This approach is favored by legendary investors like Warren Buffett and has consistently proven successful for building wealth over time.

The Best Stock Strategy for Long-Term Wealth Building Building long-term wealth doesn’t happen overnight. It requires discipline, patience, and a smart investment strategy. Among the many methods available, one stands out for its reliability and effectiveness: a long-term, diversified, buy-and-hold best stock strategy strategy. This approach is favored by legendary investors like Warren Buffett and has consistently proven successful for building wealth over time.
1. Buy and Hold Quality Stocks The foundation of a successful long-term strategy is the buy-and-hold approach. This means purchasing shares of strong companies and holding onto them for many years—regardless of short-term market movements. The idea is simple: let your investments grow and benefit from compounding returns.
When you hold onto stocks for a long time, your investment not only earns returns, but those returns start generating their own returns. This snowball effect can significantly grow your portfolio, especially when dividends are reinvested. Historically, the stock market has trended upward over the long term, even though it may go through short-term volatility.
2. Diversification Is Key One of the most important principles of investing is diversification. Instead of putting all your money into one stock or sector, you spread your investments across different industries, company sizes, and even countries. Diversification reduces the impact of poor performance in any single investment and helps balance your overall risk.
For example, a diversified portfolio might include large-cap technology companies, healthcare firms, energy producers, and international stocks. You can also achieve diversification easily through index funds or ETFs that track a broad market index like the S&P 500.
3. Invest Consistently with Dollar-Cost Averaging Another powerful element of a long-term strategy is consistency. Rather than trying to time the market—a nearly impossible task for even the best investors—use dollar-cost averaging. This involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, regardless of the market’s ups and downs.
By investing consistently, you naturally buy more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. Over time, this can lower your average cost per share and reduce the emotional stress of investing.
4. Focus on the Long Term, Not Short-Term Noise Successful long-term investors tune out daily market headlines and short-term volatility. The market will experience corrections and even crashes—but history shows it always recovers. For instance, those who held their investments through the 2008 financial crisis or the 2020 pandemic dip saw their portfolios recover and grow in the years that followed.
Patience and discipline are essential. Avoid panic-selling when the market drops and resist the urge to chase trends or “hot stocks.”
Conclusion The best stock strategy for long-term wealth building is not about timing the market or finding the next big thing. It’s about buying quality assets, diversifying your portfolio, investing consistently, and holding steady through the ups and downs. By following this proven strategy, you give yourself the best chance to grow your wealth steadily and achieve long-term financial success.
