  1. Past hour
  2. Washington went from 218 to 260? That’s a ton of extra weight - even if all muscle.
  3. Derechos are maybe the most terrifying wind storm. The one in central Iowa in 2020 just laid a path of waste that would make a tornado blush, in terms of total damage dollars. Yesterday could have definitely been worse.
  4. You guys aren't thinking about the funny nicknames The Nuge has lined up for Republicans when he switches parties. and thats a major blindspot for you guys
  5. "These were irreplaceable 16 year-old girls working in my spa. It was like he was stealing my girlfriend."
  6. False
  7. https://www.politico.eu/article/winners-losers-eu-von-der-leyen-us-donald-trump-trade-deal-tariffs/ Not sure how paywall-y this is. I think politico only requires you to provide a valid email to continue reading their stuff. It is a very good comprehensive article that goes into detail on the various trade sectors/components coming into play. It underscores that Trump‘s roostering around about a completed deal is typically false bullshit, with many details to be determined, and goals set that are impossible to meet. Add that there are numerous subsremaining detail details to be figured out regarding all of the new exceptions on the 15% tariff. If the goal was to supply certainty and allow people to get the supply chains back up and operating, that fails. Like a dog. Someone needs to tell me how going from a 1.5% tariff on EU goods generally - to a 15% across-the-board tariffs (with a whole bunch of carve outs and still to be figured outs) will not involve at least some measure of inflation due to the increased cost of EU goods subject to the 15% tariff. Europe ain’t gonna eat that. Someone is also going to have to explain why everybody around the globe rightfully hating on the United States for spring, that’s Trump‘s whim, tariffs B.S. is not going to result in at least some European businesses deciding to purchase goods and services from anyone but the USA if they can get away with it. The EU can establish a tariff rate, but the EU can’t force it’s private businesses to want to buy from America. It’s like Trump saying “tariffs for you, but not for me”is going to make them rush lovingly into our arms and try to increase imports from the US. Mind bottling.
  8. The rebates were all part of the plan. Thank you, Mr. President!
  9. More like a misfire sale.
  10. The freshman All-American DT from Syracuse wasn't recruited just for depth, eh?
  11. when i first started picking individual stocks i bumped into a couple that 10x'd within a few months. some alternative energy stuff. i congratulated myself on my genius, held, and watched them turn into dust. since then, i've been index-only for 95% of my portfolio and random stuff just for my amusement for the remaining 5%, none of which has done anything interesting.
  12. I think the guy on the left is @RamjetFDO.
  13. I hope that whoever invented summer sausage lived a long, healthy, happy life and is enjoying a special place right now.
  14. Holy shit
  15. Remove the pornographic context from it, it's still video shot with real humans moving in real human motions, shot in photorealistic lighting. It's still valuable data for what a "real" video should look like. And when your directive is simply to "get more data" it doesn't really matter where it comes from, just that you're meeting the objective. Generative AI (and literally all machine learning) is just reproducing or identifying patterns already seen in training data, or ID'ing abberations from the training data set it's already seen. But once it's produced, it's basically impossible to know what data was used in which model or to create which portion of an image or video or text. That virtually impossible unknowability is what Meta and OpenAI and Amazon are banking on to shield them from copyright claims or other allegations of horrible things like (inadvertantly) training on CSAM.
  16. I'm about the same. I've bought Roku and Disney individually over the years and they're both down materially from when I bought them. I bought a fuck ton of Berkshire Hathaway this year, seeing has they were just hoarding cash. Then Buffett announced his retirement about 4 or 6 weeks after that. I probably won't buy any UTLY so maybe my abstaining will counteract your buying curse.
  17. Of course I try to mock OU and Jim Nagy and you go there. Satya'd.
  18. Statistically speaking, life is not all that fragile. Poor diet, alcohol, drugs, sedentary lifestyle, excessive speeding or driving under the influence, carcinogens in our food & environment, chemtrails, viral and bacterial outbreaks, gun and other modes of violence, war, the list goes on, and yet the average life expectancy of Americans is at an all-time high.
