  1. When Robert Duvall hosted Saturday Night Live back in the day, they did a game show skit called Who's More Grizzled. I really haven't been able to watch Duvall in a movie since because I always remember that damn skit when I see him and I lose my immersion.
  2. From Ruchir Sharma, chair of Rockefeller International via Financial Times: https://www.ft.com/content/e9c78b99-8a29-47e2-b5bf-9f7542608cf6 h/t (no paywall): https://gata.org/node/22596 ~~~ https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/rbz-introduces-gold-backed-digital-currency Need more details, but it sounds like they are trying to make it easier for (poor) people to buy/use small/fractional bits of gold.

  4. That episode was chock full of boring matches. Hope next week brings more action.
  5. You could always enclose the house and yard in a Faraday cage.
  6. 12 Mighty Orphans. Decent movie. Didn't enjoy Newman though.

  8. Last week's episode had some entertaining fights. Here' the card for tonight: Starchild v Huge should be some comedy. Will Huge actually launch a bot into the air? Triton v Horizon ... I mean... lulz... Bloodsport v Beta might be interesting if Beta uses their amazing wedge. Bloodsport used a blade that gave them some reach in their last fight. Will they break Beta's hammer? Black Dragon v Riptide will get all the hype. Similar design for the bots so I expect this fight will be determined by driving skill.
  9. Posted from my phone last night, so I didn't include a snippet. Here's the conclusion from the report:

  11. Good read with a sober look at the big picture: https://research.eurizonslj.com/linkapp/cmaview.aspx?LinkID=pageid100543649nqn~xx9xjt9~tntr~qrzfn9~z~x~f~f~n
  12. We have the Netflix DVD service. There are a lot of older movies and TV shows that you can't get on their streaming service that you can get with the DVDs. I probably averaged around 40-50 titles in the queue at any given time over the last couple of years, but in the last few months, it's been very noticeable how they don't get new movies available (locked in to other streaming services I suppose). My queue is down to ~15 titles now and I've been thinking about cancelling it, so a September sunset date works fine for me.

  14. Y'all are nasty. Results: Your food disgust is elevated (70.5%).
  15. June is the announced deadline. July-August has been mentioned as a period where avoiding defaults might be possible with some fuckery involved. I would guess markets are going to start reacting to political gridlock late May - about a month from now.

Lagarde's speech: https://mishtalk.com/economics/as-amazing-as-it-sounds-ecb-president-christine-lagarde-is-making-some-sense Important observation: Yellen, Lagarde, et al are recognizing the global shift. It remains to be seen what Saudi Arabia does with the BRICS. It's the fulcrum that could accelerate events or stagnate them IMO.
