Reply to TIL: Jesse Livermoore pioneered day trading. His shorts for the 1906 SF earthquake and the 1929 crash are considered legendary. He grew up poor, but at 14 worked as a board boy at a stock firm and started gambling. He would consistently become rich or bankrupt, and he died with millions in debt. by Flares117
If he had lived today he would have made his wife's boyfriend very proud

That's right NYC has never had to host immigrants. Just a bunch of white people populating the 5 boroughs it looks like rural Norway. Now those Mayberry motherfuckers can finally experience the immigrant problems that Denver, Vail, and Beaver Creek have faced.

Reply to comment by buckzer0 in TIL The "Semolina Pilchard" mentioned in "I Am the Walrus" is a reference to Scotland Yard drug squad detective Norman "Nobby" Pilcher, who led a midnight drug raid on John Lennon's London flat in October 1968. He'd targeted musicians Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Eric Clapton and Donovan prior to that. by 54_actual
Really? That's what you'd do with the gift of time travel? You'd go back and listen to "I am the Walrus"?
