@Viss @kaliagainstallodds@mastodon.social it's time for the annual renewed interest in the search term "exercise".

@th @kaliagainstallodds oh, yeah good point - suddenly everyones buying running shoes

@Viss I was just thinking through the financial theory books I've read. The one most applicable to this was Benoit Mandelbrot on The Misbehavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Financial Turbulence.

It's pretty neat stuff, to learn how the foundations of chaos theory came out of financial markets (iirc a 19th century data series on cotton prices).

My takeaway was that the market moves by big days, some up some down, but consistently over time there are more up than down. 1/2

@Viss it's the underlying math that gives us the long-term average of 7% growth per year.

And 17% is better than 7%.

So call it a good year.

2/2

@Viss Holding out hope for a Barb-in-the-Upside-Down post-apocalyptic adventure series.

@Viss I’m still just starting this final season, so maybe they catch up to their actual ages, but my main issue is that all the kids are like this (attached)

in terms of a spin-off, it sounds like that would be exacerbated
