  1. Sounds like an awesome day, congrats on the hook up! I don't understand why what he said twisted you off so much though - he's right. Fly fishing is hard af. I know you've been at it for a while, but (from what I understand) catching a Tarpon on the fly is one of the harder things you can do with a fly rod... Is there more context to what he said? I had a fly fishing guide (on my first ever trip) tell me to stop being a bitch after I kept getting visibly frustrated by trying to cast into the wind. I didn't take offense, I shook it off and tried to not let the wind bug me so much, i.e. she was right. @troph
  2. Looks like it might be time for me to buy more XOM and VDE. FML on all the rest of my shit stonks.
  3. Thank you! There's a few decent food trucks in Nac, but nothing to get too excited about. I'll have to try this one out. And F you too. 😉
  4. I think they do need to raise the minimums for breeding, but agree with @gyroprotagonist that taking Nak Genesis minimums all the way up to .48 will not have the result these huge stables think it will. It would increase the amount they get for a cover, but decrease the total number of covers they are getting. It will definitely alter my plans for breeding. It's so cheap right now to breed my Buterins that I'll breed every time in the hopes that I scratch off a winning lotto ticket and get a good racer. I sold off 3 of the 5 horses I got from breeding my genesis filly in the last round and at least doubled my investment on all of them. I kept one of the fillies I got from that round to breed for lotto tickets, but will sell her off if the stud fees increase this much. I bought a bad ass Legendary Buterin filly last week to breed with my strongest racing stallion - https://knowyourhorses.com/horses/32194 she won back to back races in class III last night. Currently at a ~17% win rate and 39% ROI. 24 more days until I can breed her with Despicable Lemon. Lemon has been feasting on all the new class V racers too, he won 3 races yesterday including one that paid out $97.
  5. I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND, BUDDY!
  6. This seems like it could be a problem: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/07/tether-cryptocurrency-usdt-what-you-need-to-know.html
  7. It's no place for small independents to play anymore for sure. The ARO and associated surety bonds/collateral that are required make it almost impossible for smaller companies to operate on the GOM shelf.
  8. No, they were my biggest client for quite a few years.
  9. Furk. That one hits close to home.
  10. Can't give up such a valuable card in the culture wars.
  11. Hahahahahaha! Perfect answer. I was getting a little bored too, but breeding has been a nice shot in the arm. I do wish they could unfuck themselves on their tech issues, because it does seem like they are trying to run this thing on a bunch of old Gateway 486s strung together in the corner of Jay's Mom's basement.
  12. Yea, that's a good looking horse and him throwing off a strong odds racer is great for your future earnings. You still looking to bail out?
  13. This is pretty much me. About to be on planes quite a bit more and I don't want to be the guy that gets other people sick. And this is almost me too. Pops isn't a retired doctor, but is 70 years old, 30lbs overweight, has COPD, and still hits the lung darts. Proactively not getting the shot. 😟
  14. I've been racing Despicable against the fresh glue trying to improve his odds some and also trying to figure out how much I can charge and still get all 3 of his covers used. He's pulled odds between 6.07 - 9.06 in his last 10 races. Some people on the Zed Discord are asking .15 - .2 stud fees for horses that are less successful on the track than him with similar bloodlines. I'm thinking I'll probably put DL out to stud this evening for .07 - .09 and post it on the Zed breeding Discord channel. I've raced all of my new horses except for one, I'm having a hard time getting The Dude into a G race. Odds on their Gs so far: Donny Kerabatsos - 24.5 Maude Lebowski - 18.76 Autumn Sunrise - 27.5 Jackie Treehorn - 8.38 (!) The Dude - ??? I'm pretty pumped to get one decent horse out out this batch so far. My filly is nothing special at all so my strategy was to find the best blood I could for cheap and try to catch a winning lotto ticket by breeding her as much as possible. The glitch moved up my timeline, but we'll see if Jackie continues to pull decent odds and win a few. For anyone looking to get in on the game for pretty cheap I think there will be tons of horses for sale at less an .1 ETH. I've got Donny up for sale already for .175: https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0xa5f1ea7df861952863df2e8d1312f7305dabf215/31032 @SquishMitten
  15. If you haven't been running your horses for a while, now is a good time to try to get into the cheaper races. Lemon is pulling 6-7 odds when he usually pulls 8-9. Lots of glue being trotted out onto the track for the first time this morning.
  16. They took a while to show up in my stable. I went to bed thinking I had 4, but woke up to a 5th.
  17. Be careful spamming it if you get an error message. I ended up getting 5 foals out of my one filly. I found a Z5 Nak- grandson of Billions in stud for a ~$60 stud fee and kept spamming it. I know this shit is complicated, but don’t release it live if it’s not fully cooked yet.
  18. Breeding is back open!
  19. Yea, stuff like that will make Zed still fun for more people. My horse won a race last weekend by 3 seconds with one of the strongest fields I've ever been in. Horses with win %s of 18.5%, 17%, 3 over 13% and a 9% and I was actually watching it live. Good times. https://knowyourhorses.com/races/BGL4KpYk
  20. Nice moves Gyro, that's a great deal!
  21. Absolutely the right call to punt, but damn. Bummer.
  22. Jesustittyfuckingchrist. What an epic fail by the Zed team.
  23. They have a line of thousands of people long waiting to give them money and they can't even half-ass execute. Just punt another week until you can unfuck yourselves.
  24. Yea this is a total shitshow. Postpone 30 mins!? WTF you gonna fix in 30 minutes?
