This is a very interesting chart but I can't figure out if it takes compounding into account or not.

It’s just s&p 500 index value divided by gold to get a “gold native” number. The compounding represented here would be the growth of the companies that has been “compounded” as a result of their internal investment

It’s ignoring S&P dividends which add a significant amount.

S&P on its own is up 20 fold since 1990

SP500TR Is up 40 fold.

I guess if your purpose of the site is to make yourself feel good about gold they chose the proper index. Agreed if you want to compare the decidedly non-dividending gold as an asset class TR makes sense.

Yes, these charts keep popping up on my Twitter and it's always difficult to know what they are really measuring.

I’d be interested to see a similar chart for silver.

The rage against Tailwind is absurd. Maybe it is overhyped but it’s an incredibly useful tool and framework; it also brings an enforced consistency that plain CSS doesn’t, which is especially helpful for responsive sites so that the page use feels consistent across platforms.

Compare these two sites:

1. https://justfuckingusetailwind.com/

2. https://fuckyouiwontusetailwind.com/

On mobile, the first site is infinitely more pleasant to use. It sells itself by comparison!

https://justfuckingusetailwind.com makes heavy use of Tailwind specifically to show off the framework

https://fuckyouiwontusetailwind.com keeps it simple on purpose (also because it's copying https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com on purpose)

For me, both sites work fine on mobile. The first one makes a strawman argument by deliberately writing bad CSS and then pointing at it to say that CSS is bad.

That’s why I’m a Schwab junkie… but finance is a hotspot for this kind of stuff.

Is the full concert available somewhere?

It's the exact same for me. The spiders are by far the most visceral fear response, especially if a gruesomely detailed photo pops up on my phone.

Smaller spiders scared me when I was younger, but I have overcome that phobia significantly. Large, hairy, distinctly arthropodic spiders, though...? Yuck.

Question for both you and GPP; is this fear limited to real life depictions, or basically anything? E.g, if you ever played Skyrim or a game with spider-like enemies does it have the same effect as a real spider?

Answers I've seen to this question tend to vary wildly.

Spider-fear has never been triggered by fictional spiders for me. Very few works ever bother getting the face and body right though. 8 legs alone are not scary for me, the fangs and eyes and color patterns and the sneaky movement and webs are scary.

I'm not terribly afraid of real spiders though. Hairy crawling spiders like wolf spiders and tarantulas don't really bother me at all. It's the ones with the big web-spinning butts that dangle and drop down from above that make me go straight into fight-or-flight.

I did play Skyrim, and I was fine with it. Something about video games takes the fear out of it. I mean, they're definitely a little bit more unsettling than other video game creatures, but not by much, so I don't get a fear response. I'd react more to a "jump scare" in a game than a 3D spider.

I'm also really afraid of snakes, but spiders are okay. Movies with snakes are quite painful to watch too, and I'm very uncomfortable with snakes in video games, but at least I have some control (compared to TV) so it's a significantly better experience

Me too man

Definitely not a major job center for tech

When this happened to me yesterday I felt I’d entered a black mirror episode.
