  1. https://www.kitco.com/news/2023-10-11/Here-s-why-EY-sees-Ethereum-as-the-perfect-B2B-platform.html He didn't get the Surly braintrust memo that Ethereum/crypto is worthless garbage.
  2. He's building a resume to be hired as a football coach at OU.
  3. Have you by chance met BrisketTexan before or read any of his CR rants over the last few years? He's been sharpening that axe for a good while now.
  4. Voyager went belly up a couple of years ago and the bankruptcy has been an ongoing drama, but it looks like it has finally concluded. I got a check in the mail yesterday for $2.64 from the Voyager Wind-Down Debtor pusuant to the bankruptcy liquidation. That surprised me because I didn't think that they owed me anything.
  5. House GOP are holding a closed door meeting today to try and figure things out.
  6. With respect to the geopolitic vis a vis Saudi Arabia (maybe old news to y'all, but I didn't see it discussed): https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/saudi-arabia-suggests-israel-to-blame-for-war-despite-steps-to-normalise-relations/ar-AA1hQdy3 It doesn't sound like there is a path forward where Israel will successfully normalize relations with Saudi Arabia.

  10. So how many theaters can the US military handle concurrently? I really hope we don't find out.
  11. I read some media speculation yesterday about McHenry possibly winning the job permanently when Jordan and Scalise both fail to win enough support.
  12. It's a new and developing story. Investigations are just getting started I think.
  13. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/finland-says-outside-activity-likely-damaged-gas-pipeline-telecoms-cable/ar-AA1hYPVx I'm not sure what to make of this as yet. Russia lashing out at Finland for joining NATO? Maybe it wasn't a deliberate act at all and a submersible had an accident?
  14. This is the angle that intrigues me. Saudi Arabia was noticeably drifting away from American influence since Obama's term when we refused to be their proxy in slapping Iran/Syria around. KSA has gotten more aggressive since MbS came to power (brazen Khashoggi murder and oil production cuts designed to hurt USA at election time). They even went so far as to re-establish diplomatic relations with Iran (talks of re-opening embassies) at China's behest so they might join the BRICS. It really seems like there is a tug of war happening between the West and the BRICS for Saudi Arabia's favor and the BRICS could not allow an Israeli/USA - Saudi accord.
  15. To the surprise of no one, Senator Graham is broadcasting calls for war with Iran if things escalate. Anyone think things are not going to escalate?

  17. Back in April, Iran and Saudi Arabia started making overtures to each other (as a condition for being invited to the BRICS table). I wonder how this issue will affect relations between them. https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/06/china/saudi-arabia-iran-china-beijing-diplomatic-relations-intl-hnk/index.html
