I met Dom and Kai back in mid September and they assured me that the album was basically done then and would definitely drop sometime before 2018 ends. Based off this, the album is coming extremely soon. At the latest, a week before the tour starts. I talked with Dom specifically for about 10 minutes that night and shared a cig. Top class dudes.
I stumbled across Granddad, Dementia & Me today, and found a short film called Love and dementia by the same film maker. This is an increasingly personal topic for me, and I'm sure for many many other people, and as the film airs today I'd like to have an IAMA from the film maker.
My 5 Questions:
- What made you decide to film and publish such a hugely personal experience with your Granddad? It seems like a very brave thing to do; an incredibly revealing window into your lives, joy, and pain. It is something I would instinctively keep private if I had been in your position so I'm interested to know if doing this helped you and your family.
- How has dealing with your Granddad's dementia changed you?
- What were the most significant ways that your Granddad, and your family, suffered due to the illness, and what ways did you find to ease that suffering?
- What advice would you give others who have family members with vascular dementia?
- How do you want your Granddad to be remembered?

I stumbled across a film by a film maker who's grandfather suffered from vascular dementia. The film was shot over the course of 2 years. It actually airs tonight, but he did a short as well that I watched on youtube.
I posted an IAmA request on reddit for the film maker and (long story short) also spoke to him on the phone for a couple of minutes. He said he might not be able to look at the request today as the film airs today so he's very busy, but he will try and come back and look at it soon.
I'm posting here in case people would like to try and encourage him to do the AmA, and also in case they would like to see the films:
- Love and dementia - a short film on youtube by Dominic, posted by the Guardian newspaper
- Granddad, Dementia & Me - on the BBC, airs tonight
I hope this is interesting to someone else, and not just me!
I understand that is how it is supposed to work, but I would like to understand why that point is the foundation for just about every pro-options discussion when we are all in agreement that illegal naked short selling is what got us here in the first place.
I believe options have their place, but I am curious as to why suddenly these market makers and SHFs are law abiding citizens when it comes to hedging call options but flagrantly breaking laws in just about every other aspect of trading.
This is not intended to be anti-options. This is an honest question about the behavior of those we believe are not afraid to skirt the law.
How does philosophy of open source hardware react to "dominant" chip makers (like Intel, AMD,...)?
Whereas e.g. Linux can be perceived to be very critical towards Microsoft, then is the same true for some initiatives in open souce hardware?
Who are the dominant mood makers among ggs? Kind of like top of the social pyramid in school or in this case group. IMO there aren’t that many in ggs.
The 3 that comes to mind to me are yena and yujin from izone. I feel like izone is the loudest gg. Izone has a lot of extroverted members but yena and yujin are the standout. It also helps that yena and yujin are literally very funny. Imo, yena and yujin could go into any group and be the alpha female instantly.
And twices nayeon. I kinda wonder what it’ll be like if nayeon was an izone member.
I don’t follow closely but I think chaeyoung from fromis 9 has a dominant personality as well. I don’t know how she compares to the above 3 though.

Cellar Boxing!!
If you haven't read u/thabat 's DD on Cellar Boxing, I'd recommend doing so. It's worth it to get some background on this. LINK TO DD.
But the Smooth-Brain TLDR, is that this was the Naked Shorting Gameplan, but referred to as Cellar Boxing which was found in a forum back in 2004.
And remember the Whole ZOMBIE STOCKS thing ya?
Well maybe we have been missing the bigger picture here...
The theory was that Zombie Stocks were stocks that had been Naked Shorted / Cellar Boxed to death by Market Makers so that they could win the bankruptcy jackpot and never have to pay back the mass of shorts they had against the stocks...
But what if there is more to the story...
WHAT IF... NAKED SHORTING / CELLAR BOXING WAS JUST A NEW MORE ADVANCED WAY TO CREATE DISTRESSED COMPANIES THAT PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS COULD THEN TAKE OVER FOR $0.10 ON THE DOLLAR AND DRIVE THEM INTO THE GROUND???

As per this Nasdaq article, they state that:
However, there is little doubt that Toys "R" Us' management is trying to adapt its business model to accommodate pressure from the company's owners for greater profitability. ]
It is also understandable that the owners - Bain, KKR ( KKR
