I used to give high quotes for some of the work I do. It's a giant hint I'm not interested, quit asking me for a price. If they complained they could get it cheaper elsewhere I told "good you should call them". Lot of guys never ever look at the job, they call around and find out what someone...

Convinced someone pulling some strings on the D side think a world war will pull us out like WWII.

Big difference in what I think they will do and what they probably should do. Trying to juggle a lot of things in the air at the same time hoping one doesn't fall on the floor and then the party is over.

Mexicans pushed out by white people moving in. Of course here it's blacks but we call that a win. Polilticians call it a win as well cause of the tax base. Of course no white moved into a black area. They get up and move out entirely. Another parish, county, state, whatever it takes.

Further away than it looks

I thought they already were

Don't forget, you're only buying your first guitar. Not your only guitar.

Cramer should recommend investing in the inverse Cramer ETF and watch the hilarity.

They did it 5 years ago, guess Russia wa ramping up. Intes Micro.

Take a less from Farenheiht 451, everyoone memorize a book.

Freaking Putin. One of the biggest and until recently only maker of Maksutov type telescopes was in Russia. It's something they are actually good at. I missed it but apparently that company went to full military stuff 5 years ago. So can't get a Maksutov Newtonian telescope now. Blah, Putin...

Small things we could cover. But azaleas take up a large part of the property. 5 different varieties/colors in large groups each probably 20' deep by 50' each and 12' tall. Hopefully this is it, 24F tonight and forecast of 80 by Tuesday. Pick one and stick to it for more than a day.

Kind of like my opinion on some of the market. Inflated the economy with so much money it has to go somehwere eventually as it works through the economy.

Punched a guy in high school. He was talking shit and he sat down on a bench. Told him that was it. Got a little run up and smacked him right in the jaw. It was just like the movies. His head turned around and everyone went "ooooh". Then he turned and looked at me and had blood running down his...

Well it's all stuff that is there year round. Not stuff we planted this year.

This is going to suck. A few days ago was up to 85. Everything is greened out, azelezs are bloomed, blueberries putting on along wit lots of other stuff. Forecast tonight 24F.

Saw an article the other day you could live on a cruise ship for $30k a year. Sounds like hell to me but there it was. From just reading the comments people thought it was the greatest idea.

Guess someone should make a drywall simulator. Package it with power wash shimulator and lawn mower simulator. Call it Mexican simulator.

Just south of Austin last night.

Met a woman at a wedding I was in 20 years ago. I asked her what kind of work she did. "I'm a professional gold digger". Umm ok. Later she married John Schneider of Duke boys fame. Guess it worked out for her except for dying from cancer not long ago. Takes all kinds I guess.

I dunno. I have two power washers, an electric and a gas one. Never once thought gee it would be cool if I could simulate this at the computer and not actually get anything cleaned. Probbly just me.

Another case of it didn't just happen overnight. Reading an article earlier Western alliance had an expected EPS of $0.95 or such last quarter of last year and actual was half that.

Last new truck I bought I got the owner as a salesman. They had advertised the truck in the very very small local paper. He gave me the keys and told me to ride around for a while. When I got back I said give me a price with TT&L everything total. He went into his office and used a calculator...

More deposits weren't going to help SVB. Deposits count as a debt on the balance sheet I think. They needed something more on the asset side to meet the regulatory demands of asset/debt ratio after their bond holdings were tanking from rising interest rates. Then when word got out ..... I know...

I guess Europe was really expect SA to jump in and buy more of Credit Suisse. I watched the guy in the government in SA on bloomberg and he flat said if we upped to 10 % we get into all sorts of regulatory stuff we don't want to. Then the host on the show said he was really shaking things up the...

Icewind is a real dungeon crawl, but it's light on the story compared to BG1 and 2.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/15/investing/credit-suisse-shares-saudi-national-bank/index.html In an interview with Bloomberg, the chairman of the Saudi National Bank said it not would increase its stake in the Swiss lender.

As much as I hate to say it go to a guitat center and pick up what appeals to you. Dick with them for a while. Then see who plays the kind of music that used that type of guitar. If you don't really like a guitar you'll drop it after a while. You also might really pick a guitar that appeals to...

Maybe they look at twitter and realize how much dead weight they have been carrying in the life of luxury. Actually pretty sure that's not it.

Probably 25 years or so since I last bought a CD.

Done the series multiple times over the years. Reading this thread reminds me how shallow/bad some new games are. 20+ years later and didn't improve much.

Pretty sure I saw an article with the same headline a number of years ago. Last time you bought music on a CD? Decade ago or more?

How much of the snowmelt will be captured in reservoirs as compared to how much will instantly go out to the ocean?

Well technically the bonds these banks are in still have value. In 2008 they rapidly got to the point they couldn't sell packaged subprime loans which when you can't see stuff it has no value so to speak. Of course at the rate things are going may find out everything or near everything some of...

Kind of surprised there hasn't been a story some fell off a house and crushed/killed someone.

My grandmother died at age 100 two years ago. Till the day she died I heard all the time about how she wanted 18% CD rates again.
