  8. They've succeeded in making facts indistinguishable from invention.
  9. Shhhhhh They sent Walker to Sacramento
  10. That's what my read used to be, and I'm still now convinced that it is wrong. Your second sentence is certainly how he sees himself, but he's not really doing anything new there -he has a front, he's trying to get away from the street and be a wholesaler, get into the real estate game. There are other players who did that successfully that are referred to by the other characters - I think Butchie has a few lines about a major player from way back when whose name you've never heard of who did that. Stringer didn't even really succeed with rebranding his weak product and he didn't come up with the coop - that was Joe. Joe was the real brains, and the real leader of the coop. And Stringer didn't fail because he was applying the street rules to the politics - he died because he stopped abiding the street rules. Even trying to hit Clay Davis, which would have caused his fall, wasn't an application of street rules. It was him once again falling prey to his ego and trying to go after someone uninvolved in the game because his pride got hurt. Avon turned on Stringer, but Stringer was already going to get got, and deservedly. It wouldn't have served Avon at all to protect Stringer, and by the rules of the game he had it coming anyways. Avon could see that Stringer was way out of pocket all over the place and couldn't protect him, couldn't keep him from fucking up. Avon is actually the one who might have held on for longer if he hadn't been betrayed by Stringer - Marlo was more fierce and more cunning than Avon, but Avon still had more muscle and he had a location on Marlo. If they had managed to hit Marlo at the rim shop that night, that would have been it for Marlo. But Stringer took down the whole fucking organization. And in the end, even smart businessman Joe doesn't win against ruthless soldier Marlo. And Marlo will eventually lose the crown, and it'll be some newer fiercer quicker Marlo that catches him slipping.
  11. fenix can confirm or deny, but willing to bet he used a can of these. Plenty of carrots inside.
  12. Go for it. You can post an update from the toilet later.
  13. You don’t understand. It wasn’t working. And it disappeared from the menu.
  14. Is that the same Rougned Odor that was better than Altuve? The one who couldn’t even hit in Japan.
  15. I did and I was. I love the booger eaters I work with, but nobody ever accused them of being smart. Hence why I included you in the initial comment lol
  16. Oh, and on the "release the Epstein files" as a whole picture, here's the facts and problems. 1) a NORMAL administration doesn't just "release investigative files." The documents, interviews, etc., were part of a criminal investigation. First, you don't release them while the investigation is ongoing (which is why there were several years when they were never going to be released). Then, even when the criminal investigation is over, they don't release documents that--while they may be embarrassing, or may even provide evidence that someone did something illegal--do NOT rise to the level of supporting an indictment. Not that I'm interested in morally cutting anyone any slack, but let's say there is a detailed log of everyone who ever flew on a plane with Jeffrey Epstein. That alone is NOT proof that every one of those people screwed underage girls, trafficked them, etc. Seriously, it's not a good idea to hang around a creep like Epstein at all, and I question your judgment if you do, but maybe y'all were just flying to go see a football game. He wasn't boning young girls 24/7, so merely having evidence that "person X spent time with Epstein" isn't going to support criminal charges, and the government isn't going to release it just to give the public fodder to say "oh yeah? Joe Schmoe was on Epstein's plane! KIDDIE DIDDLER!" 2) SO....in normal world, IF (big if, by the way) a full and thorough criminal investigation was conducted and everyone who merited being charged with a crime was indeed charged, then you'd know about the relevant evidence as it was introduced in their prosecution, and you would never know about the other evidence and documents that were NOT used in the prosecution. That's not sinister or secretive, it's how it works in ANY criminal matter. Could be a drug dealing prosecution, they aren't going to publish the names of every person in Danny Drug Dealer's phone contacts (FFS, he has the number of a great chinese delivery joint in there, because Danny digs him some kung pao). 3) but this isn't normal world. We had an administration and functionally all of its mouthpieces and functionaries a) actually campaign on "release the files!" and then b) when they took power, they made big shows of "here, I have a big white binder with a totally salacious list that the previous guys didn't want you to ever see - and I'm gonna show it to you!" That is outside of all of the norms and procedures and safeguards discussed in items 1 and 2 above. 4) so, here we are. Abnormal dipshits promised to reveal ALL THE STUFF.....that they now don't want to reveal. Maybe that's because there's no "there" there. Maybe it's because if they reveal it, their guy is going to look really, really bad (along with some other people). Maybe that's because someone grasped items 1 and 2 above, and realized that while there may be a lot of evidence of people who spent time with Epstein, that evidence doesn't rise to the level of supporting any criminal charges of kiddie diddling. But it would sure get tongues wagging. Or maybe it's some combination of all of those things. What it boils down to is that the admin and its flunkies promised they'd do something, without ANY fucking idea what was actually there and how shit works. And now, they are stuck by their own stupidity. As to kiddie diddling, I sure as shit don't have any "team." If there's a video of Bill Clinton screwing a 14 year old, prosecute the fuck out of him, I don't care. If there's the same for Trump, do the same. What I suspect is that there's a lot of stuff that's smoke, and would make a lot of powerful people look bad, but the evidence doesn't rise to the level of fire. And now, the idiot dog caught the car, and it turns out the car contains some stuff that will make the dog look bad too. So, what to do? Fuck 'em, they set a standard they can't now follow, and they're getting pilloried for it. Serves 'em right. Oh, and was there likely, at some point or another, evidence to support greater charges/other prosecutions, but prosecutors engaged in a cover-up to protect some powerful people? I would be 100% unsurprised by that, in fact I would probably bet on it.

  19. It sucks that fractional gold buillon imhas such crazy premium. I would have way more in gold if 1/10 and 1/4 had small vigs. I suppose from a high wealth perspective that doesnt make much sense. But trading 250 eagles for 3 coins feels weird.

  21. It goes back to when there were bimetallic currencies, and governments would establish official rates for the value of silver vs gold. Under the Spanish Empire [I think] it was about 16 to one, and we (the US) inherited the basics of that system except we split our Peso-- the Dollar-- into hundredths instead of eighths & fractions of eighths. Not long after, I believe silver was allowed to float, and float it did-- or sank. The ratio rose on the market, gold was worth lots more than 16 to one. It keeps changing, recently went over 100 to 1, has since come down again. Why does it matter? It might not, but some feel there is a "proper" ratio that it will trend back to. I don't agree. What does happen, though, is that when the ratio gets much higher or lower than a perceived norm, people will exchange the "overvalued" metal for the lesser, and then vice-versa if it hits the other extreme. Every sale, of course, involves a transaction fee, so a perpetual motion machine, it's not. You could pick any two commodities and do this. But gold and silver are magic.
