Stock Market

I sent my parents information on Ripple and the steps to buy it on 05/17/2014.

This was after I purchased $1000 worth @ $0.006/token.
I'm a late starter.

Do you still have some XRP left, parents too, if so congrats?!
Back to where it was 6 months ago
Yeah ole Trump is right when he recently said all he has to do is say things and that affects the markets. Those tariff's scareiff's freaked the world out thus dropping the price of XRP and a bunch of others, plus the Biden administration SEC case held it back a lot.

XRP went up to $3.40 a while ago.

My friend bought XRP at 58 cents last November.

I lived in Lawton Oklahoma, home of Ft. Sill. Most of the housing was built for the military. That is mild compared to a lot of what I saw. The inside walls of my house 2x4's were all turned sideways, I reckon to save just a bit, but try finding a door to fit into a 2.5" wall...1.5" of 2x4 and 1" of sheetrock. One long wall wasnt even secured to the slab, it would move 1" in and out. I finally pulled the baseboard off and used construction adhesive to glue it to the concrete.

Went into the attic and found an open junction box with half a dozen wires with out even wire nuts.

The plumbing? Dont get me started.
Pussy! A real man would have cut a hole in the drywall big enough for a hammer drill and anchored that wall properly! 😁

ETA... I actually would have and then just patched the rock.

Extreme Spread

Small sample sizes lead to incorrect conclusions.

I shot 10 cartridges at 50 yards, 3/4 inch group.

I shot 10 more cartridges at 100 yards, 1 inch group.

Better moa at 100 yards.

Suppose you sent 50 shots at 50 yards,
then 50 shots at 100 yards? Do you think it'd hold up?

5 times larger sample to base y'er conclusion.
What if you used a 100 shot sample?

Yes, I've done this.
Random acts of accuracy do occur.
Skews the conclusion every time.
Continue the process to a statistically valid sample size,
y'er gonna find that the idea of better at long range than short
is optimism at it's finest. :sneaky:

Easy enough to prove.
Grab a brick of y'er favorite rimfire cartridges.
Send 50 at a single aimpoint at 50 yards.
Then 50 at 100 yards, repeat at 200 yards.
It'll be educational.
Might ruin an internet discussion topic though. :oops:
