Sorry I don't see rude here - just someone agreeing to a point in a humorous manner.

Same.

:adore:Ooo, Mandelbrot

damn, just found myself doing a code review when I promised not to even look at code this weekend..

I agree, now if you all will excuse me I need to get some medical advice from some strangers on a real estate site.

WTF, dude? What's wrong with our ill-informed medical advice? (Jamie aside, of course.)

If they say amputation consider me in agreement. Let me know when and where I should be with my CARCASS starter kit!

They'll probably refer him to a specialist at imdb.com.

I have been sick in bed pretty much since ( I think )Thursday night....May explain a few things....(although I am feeling Muuuuuch Better!)

this is how I have settled on amusing myself...although I am pretty sure that's the only person I have succeeded in amusing...

Bob, is that Objective-C or one of the other C/C++/Java family?

I said "strangers" on a real estate site, not actual realtors (whose medical advice is usually spot on). They're also good at explaining String Theory.

Crap, how did I miss that? LOL

i was talking about posting here as amusing...:wink:

It's Python. Wasn't posting about the coding...just making a vague reference to Mandelbrot...which you got right away!

Well I'll give you amusing points for coding in the shape of the thing the code creates. :beer:

We can really have some fun discussing the pros and cons of Lambda methods in dynamic programming languages.

 

[NomadMike]

It is for sure.

Just in case anyone wants to see what Mandelbrot has to do with financial markets...

And yes, I'm a geek for this kind of stuff.

I apologize for the ill will this thread created, some of which may have been avoided had I been more clear in my original post. Often I post from my phone and fail to express with one hand what is in my brain. Let's try with two hands...

I was not seeking financial advice, rather, opinions about the tolerance for loss of access to funds in one's primary bank.

I believe that at some point everyone will experience an event where their personal account, or for that matter their entire bank, will suffer electronic dismemberment. My own was caused by a bank error.

While policies may exist to recover from these events, they take time to execute, and during that time one's life is quite disrupted. My supposition is that having accounts in multiple banks mitigates some of this disruption, but to what end? How far around town should one spread his cash assets such that he has palliated risk without overly complicating his life?

For what it's worth, deposits into the Bank of Stevensville come with tonewood collateral
