Llano Estacado

Status update?

I’m Cosmo Kramer, the Assman.

Never been North of Research Forest and 45 for my commute. So can’t speak to how that Northern commute looks currently. With the new XOM campus 45 S, and the pinch points for 99 and Hardy can all suck pretty hard from 4:30-5:45. I would echo if this is a permanent position, I think a young person would find more peers and entertainment in the Woodlands > Spring > Conroe, but that’s just a guess.

Fri - ESPN U Sat - Fox Sports SW+ Sun - Fox Sports Go Edit: what he said.

That’s a tennis shirt. OP specified polo.

Going to be a long day at the office. Should have scheduled PTO, rookie mistake. I was up to 9 maybe 9:30pm celebrating. Like I always say, the day after the NIT championship should be a National Holiday.

This shirt is too long and billowing. I wish there was a way to both hide the excess material and restrain it.

Do what now? "Humans like to do things and we like to be productive and we will figure out things to do and we will use these tools to make ourselves more powerful. What I predict is that jobs will get more engaging. Because you have to remember, a lot of the jobs today are quite routine." “We’re researching and developing a giant computer piloted airship filled with packages and autonomous drones that would make deliveries. The drones return to the airship where a human would scan a barcode on a package and scan a barcode on the robot. Then use his ability to read to pick a package off of a rack and physically load it onto the AI driven lifeless automaton.” One of these is a Jeff Bezos quote on automation the other is some dumb shit I made up.

My wife works flexible hours, so she does a weekday HEB run for staples and meal planning. Costco ~1 month. I stop at the nearby Randall’s if meal planning changes or we need a few things. Derail - Those of you comparing budget numbers I never understood trying to compare those. I just don’t see anyway to ever normalize that. Family size, meal size, leftovers, work/school lunches, Whole Foods produce and protein or Sam’s Club prepackaged.

This is a fucking show dog with fucking papers.

In the OP you posted the chart as an example of Americans underestimating wealth inequality. The chart comparing actual wealth inequality to estimated wealth inequality, to a completely fictitious wealth inequality model (Sweden’s income inequality by quintile) Last page you cited the chart specifically the last bar (which can’t exist) as a the “American ideal” for wealth inequality. You told me to “look hard. Look really hard.” Then you defended the impossible last model again as the ideal for wealth distribution. And call fiscal conservatives liars. Again you point to the chart as some want of the American people, but finally admit it may be infeasible to hit the completely fictitious last bar.

BT talks more out of his ass. They do suck at math. They’re wishing/desiring for a distribution which can’t occur except in very very narrow distribution of wealth, the math simply doesn’t work. You should lookup the survey you’re discussing before talking out of your ass more. They were shown that chart and preferred it. Wealth inequality is different than economic inequality which is different than income inequality. You’re conflating the two in your post above. NYT and Slate have both conflated the 2 when using that same Norton survey. Here’s an article about those very same Norton and Ariely charts. They swapped Swedish “income distribution” for “wealth distribution” and then surveyed. http://blogs.reuters.com/felix-salmon/2011/03/25/swedish-inequality-datapoint-of-the-day/ They admit they’re comparing apples to oranges in the footnotes to show contrast. “We used Sweden’s income rather than wealth distribution because it provided clearer contrast to the equal and United States distributions...” “We took a survey of 5000 people and asked if they’d prefer diamonds or graphite, they uniformly liked diamonds.” Great survey, that tells me jackshit about American carbon. If you’re going to have millionaires and you’re going to have 0 or negative wealth people, which I think we can all agree is going to happen in any real world scenario. The math doesn’t allow for the bottom quintile to control 10% of wealth. It just can’t happen in the real world. Real world wealth distribution Fake wealth distribution “I prefer the one that can’t exist, we should base our economic policies on the one that can’t exist.” Kick ass survey, glad you talked to 5000 people.

Jerry, you’d enter a magical world of sensual delights that most men dare not dream of! Boy, you can really talk some trash. Better than eating it!

Do you have a 2nd and 3rd climate controlled safe for all the Grade AAA, VI wood you’ve been getting?

They do. Our churn rate is so high that we have to store 24 packs in the garage...and because the drink fridge needs more room for beer. (Has Coca-Cola increased the distribution of TopoC since the purchase?)

Oh no, you've got to go downtown, George. It's all downtown. Just like the song says.

Almost like I’m watching arguably the 65th best team battle the 70th best team in the country.

You’re the aggy, and 5000 Americans surveyed suck at math. Top 1/5th posses ~30% of the wealth and bottom 1/5th posses ~10% of the wealth. Has any modern country come close to reflecting that? That’s a terribly small distribution. Show a data set like that, please. $20MM top 1/5th and 1/5th at or below 50k is going to blow that the hell up.

Just a bit outside.
