I heard Iranians are still barred from non whitelisted sites even now.
The dollar really is shit apparently. I was looking through my stock portfolio and there’s this one company listed in NYSE I first bought in January 2024, then March 2024, and finally in December 2024. So basically I’ve had it for about two years. My broker app shows everything in Euros, and my position is down -8.85% over this time. But when I change it to dollars it’s +0.19%. So the stock has devalued a fair amount in Euros, but not at all in Dollars. Or in other words, USD has devalued about as much as this stock has.
We had a heartbreaking loss to Canada last night in Olympic hockey, so it’s bronze game for Finland today. Canada played better, but had Finland not taken a really careless penalty late in the 3rd period our team might very well be playing for gold. It is what it is, it was always going to be a stretch for Finland to win gold in ice hockey two Olympics in a row.
I’ll probably hate watch the gold medal game on Sunday too. I don’t want Canada to win because they’re too good in ice hockey, and I don’t want USA to win because, well, fuck them right now, so it’ll be a miserable watching experience but at least it’ll be great quality ice hockey.
On the news today: A kid got transplanted a frozen heart and fucking died.
I think it’s official that Klaebo is not human. I just saw him sprint to the finish… After 49,5 fucking kilometers. It’s just not natural.
Really looking forward to the figure skating gala tonight, it’s always my favorite.
There was also a pretty bad Bob accident today, an Austrian pilot was irresponsive for quite some time. Seems like he’s now conscious and able to move. I hope he recovers fine. It was so scary.
