  1. This your first time dove hunting?
  2. $101 million.
  3. That's what's so puzzling about the trade. How can you mess up that badly when ever else has been so good.
  4. Other than the Luka debacle Nico's been very good. I know that's like saying other than the final solution Hitler had good ideas.
  5. I had no idea he was aggy. I was surprised sasha couldn't figure out his serve in the ad court. His toss was a huge tell.
  6. In terms of looks it's sherman > fineman > gardner but in terms of crazy it's the other way around.
  7. No I think it's referencing when Elon said Teslas will be an appreciating asset.
  8. Sounds like she's gone completely rogue and overstepped her procedural (though not legal) responsibilities.
  9. They had good corn bread.
  10. We just had one of the dryest Junes this century but strangely enough we didn't have any days over 100. In fact we haven't hit 100 since May. That's unexpected.
  11. Where is it?
  12. Did you get your roof figured out?
  13. You're not understanding what the Japanese mindset was. Through a non-Japanese lens if you see you've lost you cut your losses and surrender. Through the Japanese lens if you've lost the fight you don't surrender, you keep fighting until you die. What's more they don't even define winning and losing the same way everyone else does - they might lose the fight but if they die honorably it's a victory. It's the bushido way. They were never going to let the Emperor, a living god, be toppled. The Emperor was never going to surrender because he saw they had lost the fight. He, and the Japanese people, needed something extraordinary to change their minds about 1.) what losing IS and 2.) what reaction they should have to it.
  14. OMG that's his mom?
  15. "... and now it's going to be the United States of America who saves Bibi Netanyahu..." How?
  16. Heaviest volume occurs not at the Futures close (5p central) but at the traditional NYSE market close which is two hours earlier at 3pm central. All volume across the board dies after that even though trading still occurs.
  17. That's looking for something that isn't there. The stock market, including SPY and every other ETF, is still open for after-hours trading til 8pm central. Starting from Sunday afternoon at 5pm to Friday night at 8pm you can trade either futures or ETFs.
  18. Trump just thanked Iran.
  19. His wife sees a building blown to smithereens and barely reacts. Mine sees brake lights activate 30 yards in front and has a mild stroke.
  20. Why would Tucker Carlson be presenting the other side of the debate? I thought he chugged red pills for breakfast.
  21. 1.) I have family members who are, but I'm not Taiwanese. 2.) I'm not ignoring anything, you're layering your own context onto what I've said. You said there's a vast cultural divide. I said it's not as big as it used to be. It's not. China has spent a lot of money on soft power influence in Taiwan the past 2 decades emphasizing their shared cultural history in order to drive a wedge between them and the west. Go online and read their forums, look at their tik tok videos or instas - the sense of ethnic pride in their history is prevalent.
  22. He's embracing the Astros way
  23. No argument there ^^^ but did you forget you were talking about the cultural divide? Standard Chinese is the official language of both China and Taiwan. Standard Chinese is the Mandarin dialect. Other dialects include Cantonese (the most famous), Fukinese, Hokkien, Wu, etc. Taiwanese Mandarin and Beijing Mandarin have differences the same way Central Texas English and New York English have differences - there are different words for some things i.e. buses, phones, foods. The way they pronounce words is different - sometimes Beijingers add an R to the ends of words, sometimes they add an SH where there's only an S. I speak Mandarin. It's the exact same language with different regional pronunciations. The difference is what you'd hear between a Californian and a New Yorker.
