  1. Past hour
  2. Dude holy SHIT. I'd say that's the worst bad beat of all time but I guess, technically, they didn't lose. I can't even fathom what the odds would be on this scenario ever happening.
  3. Im not sure that’s true. We are certainly in a big debt cycle, but a bunch of deflationary signs are beginning to appear that could be significant. And as long as the dollar is the world’s reserve currency we will have less inflation that the rest of the world, just like we did in the transitory spike period. in other words, we have real problems on the horizon. Inflation could be the least of them. We certainly agree on that at least, but the issue here is that the Fed knows that. The political actors who want to control the Fed don’t.
  4. If I am a company, and I declare that I own $2 trillion of securities, but I actually own $1 trillion, I will get put in jail. That is fraud. Hell, why not claim $100 trillion in assets. You seem to think accounting can be done without reference to economic substance. You are embarrassing yourself.
  5. I can’t believe this is happening:
  6. Things have changed somewhat on the Arkie end. Gone are the days of Hillbilly U. They actively recruit good students now. I was there as a 10 year-old in '69 and witness to horrors in addition to being accosted by a grown ass man who cussed me out. That never happened at Kyle Field (the aggies were nice to kids) or even Jones Stadium. But you're correct that Arkie was second in rivalry behind OU. Hell, OU fans at the fair were nicer to me than fucking Arkies were. I just don't think the new generation of Hogs feels the same hatred.
  7. We are doing ruins and cenotes until we fly back home on Monday. I don't have an agenda yet, plan on figuring it out tomorrow. I think I want to hit Azul and Dos Ojos but I'd be up for meeting if you were able to meet at/near a cenote or some ruins. I have zero idea what ruins to hit up.
  8. Maturing treasuries and MBS. See my post above re assets. Who are you arguing with? Again I get that you don’t like having a central bank, but you do, and they manage the supply of a fiat currency. They inject liquidity into the economy and then take it out.
  9. From the late 1950s to the early 1970s, the Texas-Arkansas matchup was basically the de facto SWC Championship Game. Both Royal and Broyles won national titles during that time frame as well. Meanwhile A&M had something like nine consecutive losing seasons (except for that one Cotton Bowl win over the Bear they still boast about), Baylor was rarely competitive, TCU + SMU played the occasional spoiler, and Rice + Tech were along for the ride, so to speak.
  10. Viva always good. Same for Yummies for breakfast. And Nautico for lunch. Isabel’s Cafe for big breakfast tacos. Palms Cafe for breakfast/Bloody Mary on the beach
  11. Probably not. But maybe.
  12. Not recently enough. They’ll get theirs, but it will be more over rated guys who couldn’t pass scouting muster at real schools.
  13. Ah yes, Tom, another TA of mine, cool
  14. That happened last year
  15. Goredho

    Ozzy has passed.

    The AI art of the Prince of Darkness ascending to heaven is a bit much, but this made me grin. I think Ozzy would appreciate it.
  16. This is exactly what was going to happen. I have no idea why Ukraine did this.
  17. And in exchange, we received the gift of almost 50% inflation. I think you buried the lede. The growth in money supply around 2020-2022 posted above was caused by the Fed. The same fed that ignores money supply as a causative factor in inflation. The retardation in that $2.5 billion building is astronomical. The Fed is "independent" but this will do nothing to stop the impending death spiral/money printing. In actual fact they are accelerating it.
  18. This was good. It does not feel like a Marvel movie and is definitely its own thing. Much less action than is typical so some may find it a bit boring.
  19. Just don’t agree to be in his fantasy football league
  20. Arkansas is a legit rival. I hate Arkansas more than I hate aggy.
  21. Meet Saturday noonish in Cancun?
  22. Here’s the short version: during the pandemic the Fed purchased a shitload of low- rate treasuries and MBS to stimulate the economy. When the economy recovered there was an inflation spike and rates were raised, which means those assets on the aged balance sheet were marked down, and the value of that markdown was about $1T, recorded as a deferred asset. What that represents is the book value of the securities the Fed owns vs the current market price.
  23. If it PG2 it’s probably THC and the kid might get better than deferred adjudication, which is NOT expungeable
  24. Marvel just announced their 7 year old includes making cancelled Pedro Pascal the new face of the MCU
