2.31% yield

$5.52 EPS


If you want to park your money somewhere..

And you can enroll in a UNP DRiP plan too and just dump like fifty bucks per month in it if you really wanted to.

Forget bitcoin.

I'm actually going to buy a bit when it goes down with whatever I have left in PayPal. PayPal became sjw's so I'll use BC if I need to for whatever.

Treat it like how you would treat your budget for a trip to Vegas. This much (with a reserve to get home), and no more. Have fun; you might hit it big, but chances are you will be be running on fumes to the hizzie.

I'm not speculating if I buy any of it. I'm simply going to be using a form of currency to do things that are prohibited by SJW's like patreon, PayPal, google, etc.

Remember; I listen to racist podcasts.

Systems settings>desktop behavior>desktop effects

There are lots of settings there. I make inactive windows mostly transparent to clean up clutter. You can also mouse over the title bar of a window, press alt, and scroll the mouse wheel to manually change the transparency of an individual window regardless of global settings.

If you just buy some btc and use it to buy things it's a pretty fun ride. I was well aware of it when they only cost $50 and even less so I could be a millionaire right now if I was a risk taker. It's still fun to simply buy 100$ of btc and then realize a year later that you've bought 400$ worth of goods though so I say go for it.

Maybe it's a honeypot, maybe it's a scam, I don't know but you can exchange it as if it was worth something.

I see. Apparently I forgot the meaning of "opaque" but I got them translucent now.

Yeah I'm not speculating with BTC I'm just tired of google and co and want to defu all that shit. Fuck amazon too. I'll use ebay and maybe amazon if I can't get a book any other way.

I feel that way too. Amazon probably needs to be hit with antitrust laws but their prices and service are so much better than all competition.
