  1. Yeah, going out on the 25th movie while it was still technically Her Majesty’s Secret Service and only serving one Monarch feels very apropos.
  2. probably some combination of “you can either get even richer or spend a hundred million on legal bills.
  3. Sounds like Amazon money whipped Broccoli into letting go of creative control: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/amazon-mgm-studios-james-bond-franchise-1236141794/
  4. Well, if you want to push the German's and potentially the Poles into seeking to develop Nuclear Weapons, that's certainly one way to bring it to the table.
  5. Well, it refers to order of birth, but anyone who says they don't have a favorite child is lying.
  6. Boy #1 said it was 28 in San Antonio this AM.
  7. Literally the first thing I learned when I got to college in Maine 30 years ago. Thermals will allow you to function in cold weather without being miserable.
  8. Here’s the thing though: he also has some jaw dropping emotionally tuned in dialogue. The conversation about grief in Wind River is just gut wrenching, but has actually helped me get over loss in my life.
  9. Democrats rn
  10. Yuck. Let's all just take a moment and reset with our queen:
  11. RARE EARTHS AREN'T RARE.
  12. I mean, who doesn't enjoy some good old fashioned deflation? Inflation was Biden, fuck that. Let's get a 90s Japanese style economy going, amirite?!
  13. So the Canadians are fucking 3-0 on us now?
  14. I can't decide which is worse: The Nazis in charge, or the limp dick dip shits that are the current opposition. I mean, its the former, but the entire Democratic party is just pathetic rn.
  15. Extremely accurate metaphor is extremely accurate.
  16. The guy is a fucking horse.
  17. Slow down there, Eh? Let's not do anything stupid.
  18. As noted investor Warren Buffett said: “Buy the dip, pussy” So I’m liquid, but I might lose my nerve and just buy a bond or something. 🤷‍♂️
  19. Man, if Trump doesn’t turn those federal science grant dollars back on pretty soon, the Birmingham economy is going to get very real, very quick.
  20. Inducing price depreciation via a Second Depression.
  21. Trump literally won’t take a phone call from Trudeau. They still haven’t spoken.
  22. Rare Earths are a perfect example of this. Rare Earths aren’t actually rare (the “rare” in the title references a unique set of properties the lanthanides possess as a class of elements). The Chinese have generous supplies of lanthanides, but so do we, as does Australia and the Russians. The Chinese have a modern hammerlock on global supply because the processing of Rare Earths is nasty and toxic. They do it cheap, with little regard for human or environmental consequences. And they have a near monopoly on the processing of REs to the point that if we reopened Mountain Pass we’d still need to ship the ore to China for processing unless the government wanted to subsidize processing to make the refined product economically competitive.
