simplify your investment life by saddling yourself with a horrible mortgage. that way it will always be wisest to pay down the terrible yoke of your high rate mortgage.

all I have heard for the past week is 'buy ripple' but it's apparently a fucking pain in the ass to buy
Back in my day, ripple was just an extremely cheap sweet wine, mostly purchased by young adults who were within two years of the legal drinking age, plus or minus. It was only a pain in the ass to buy if you were on the minus side of that equation.

“I just sold my start-up and needed a place to reflect,” said Sam McBride, 31, from Chicago. “To give me some perspective.”
Esalen’s hot springs are good all day but are famous for the night scene, when they open to the public between 1 and 3 a.m. A weekend stay for a couple at Esalen can cost $2,890, so budget travelers stay nearby and come wandering in with towels a little after midnight.

it's open to the public at that time but i think you still need to make a reservation? but it's fairly straightforward to do

There are regulations prohibiting price manipulation of securities, commodities, and currencies, but I don't think there's been any agreement on which, if any, it is. By contrast I don't know if there's any regulation against price manipulation of something like collectibles, although it might violate state consumer fraud statutes.
