What a funny story! Love it. I’ve held NVIDIA ever since I read about what they were doing in the late 90’s (99 I think). The intel ship was bound to sink then because the technology was narrow minded. I got in at IPO around $12-$13? 6 splits have been interesting too. I’ve bought and sold it - it has supported a lot of other ventures. I hold it in straight stock, mutual funds, etfs. All in. Buying now I think is a bad idea. I am not a big believer in what AI is going to produce, if anything worthwhile/good to/for mankind - ever. I do think the infrastructure AI is going to need will be lucrative however long the “building” lasts. Google, meta, all of them, too much debt for what AI is going to actually produce. Interesting article in Forbes worth a read, it gives a link to Anthropic Project Glasswing, also worth a read, but read between the lines there. Your Brians are the exact snippy-snots I sometimes refer to in my writing. Anthropic as are many of the AI industy “leaders” are filled with similar snippy-snots.

I should only suggest that a 20 something isn't a millenial... Consider that 1996 is the final year of millenials and this is 2026 meaning.... they youngest is 30. I can say this with confidence because I'm the eldest millenial (1981) and I'm turning 45 this year. That, and 'vibes' and 'slay' is a Zoomer thing too. Pretty much all the slang is Zoomer. Time to update the generational bagging.
I ask this 'cause I supported myself (quite poorly) for a couple of years waaay back in the last Millennium when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth by playing poker. This was both fixed and spread limit Hold'em poker. Omaha was a wild variant and limit O8 was considered to be nothing more than a reckless crapshoot. What would we have thought of 5 card hi-lo double board bomb pot Omaha?
Doyle Brunson's Super system sold for something like $100 and I distinctly recall spending the better part of a night shift copying all 500 or so pages of it, laboriously 3-hole punching them and putting them in a 3 ring binder which lived in my bathroom next to "Hold"em Poker for Advanced Players". Ah, them was the days, my friend...

P.S. I think TENB is a good place to be right now

Fair ... But as a boomer, they are all the same to me ...
Exactly right.... and yet boomers get so sensitive when we make fun of you for being out of touch and unable to follow nuance. 🤓
Yeah. You are referring to a generational communication gap - and it cuts both ways, sir.
Soooo...did either of my fellow boomers make the final table???

Doyle's is a Great book ... I got hooked in the Early 80s when i picked up a book called "Poker, a guaranteed income for life" by Frank Wallace.
3rd place for 17k ... Brian finished 10th.
Duuuuh! Bryan is so extra and cringe! Vote Pedro!
The whippersnappers who mock boomers are nattering nabobs of negativity.
