> We are all on the autistic spectrum

I hope you're not being serious here because this is patently false and diminishes the experience of those who are actually on the spectrum.

If you do not match the criteria in the DSM, then no, you are not on the spectrum.

It's the market. Tesla is way overpriced. Now that the market is contacting, money is moving to value instead of speculation.

Been there, done that. However, the worst position to find yourself in is partial traction. A few customers, giving you that slight bit of hope to keep grinding. Then after 5 our more years, you've made 20K and are stone motherless broke. Or maybe that's just me. Chin Up dude.

At least, valuation-wise, I agree. We've been on a ridiculous, risk-on market rally for a decade and a half, fuelled by incredibly cheap money and plenty of discretionary excess, and tech stocks have been the vehicle for speculative trading. My money is on energy and associated mining sectors outperforming in the next market cycle. I think we're about to see the return of Peter Lynch style investing after the washout of excess from tech.

Kindred spirit. I particularly love variable variables and exploit them often. Some would call it abuse I guess.

Honestly, Xubuntu and then forget about it for the next decade. I get it, xfce doesn't have the "cool" factor but it just works and keeps on doing so.
