  • No man, you don't get it, I was told that a foot is much better, because that's 12 inches and then 12 can be easily divided by 2,3,4,6

    As if you couldn't just work with wood sizes of 12 or 24cms....

  • Of all the things it doesn't list the one thing that will probably help most people, do some sports, going to the gym and lifting is basically the only thing that helps me with this.

    I can't say other sports like football or squash helps because with those I often wake up after an hour or two after falling asleep with an epic burning sensation in my quads.

  • And cars cost the horses their jobs

    And plenty of agricultural machines have removed thousands of jobs.

    Humanity has been increasing efficiency since the dawn of humankind, there is nothing new there, not even with AI.

    Even before AI I worked for a company that made ETL tools and that eliminated a bunch of people's jobs, because you no longer needed to do manual work with excels, only once when you setup the ingestion process, ofc for that you need a higher skilled worker who could work with the program.

  • Shorting tesla might not seem a bad plan for about a decade now, the market can remain illogical longer than the premiums you pay on the short position.

    Well you can also have "know how" from other things, for example years ago I was following a lot of PC hardware news and for me it was sure as fuck that both AMD and Nvidia will only increase for a while, Ryzen was starting to go strong and Intel was not putting up competition, and the then crypto market nicely transitioned into AI for keeping demand for Nvidia products high af.

    Anyone who knew someone from the boeing factories or had knowledge of what went on in that company likely should have known to short the shit out of the boeing stock the moment the first 787 Max went down.

    Really the stock market involves a lot of paying attention to stuff and then trying to to bet on the more likely stuff, it's never a guarantee is it.

    Right now I am mostly paying attention to the car market, there I would say shorting US car manufacturers is a decent bet, Nissan if the stock is still low is a decent investment target, I don't think they will go under and they have some nice cars at good prices.

    Stellantis went through a bit of turbulence, but they are coming out with some good stuff now, so they could see some upswing.

    But really I haven't even looked at the stock prices so this might be all stupid shit.

    If you don't want to gamble just invest in ETFs every month and you will be fine.

  • If you aren't a trader you likely don't know and therefore you shouldn't go around shorting shit, or if you do post your losses on the wallstreetbets community on lemmy or reddit if there is no lemmy version

  • So is a lot of types of investing, so that's really not a good definition, and just like investing if you know what you are doing you can come out way ahead with an almost guarantee with shorting
