  1. I wasn't far off with my prediction by Mar. 8th. As of close Friday, IBIT reports owning 0.997% of all bitcoins. Of course, they still trail GBTC but quickly GBTC is selling bitcoins quickly as investors leave that ETF. note: Let's keep presidential politics out of this.
  2. I picked a bad day to quit drinking coffee. <insert Airplane pic>
  3. What does E Jean Carroll going to receive in the next trial since Trump has defamed her again?
  4. Felt like lifetime of not being able to break 70/4 and I wake up to 71 and 4. as Americans are groggily waking up today after the time change, I predict it could pop up to 75 (only a 4.6% gain from now) today before settling closer to 71. Should be a good day for the ETFs and micro strategy stock.
  5. Boss man should have put his foot down years ago but I guess he has some combination of liking this guy or feeling sorry for him. If the employee is smoking pot on the job, that’s not a difficult conversation to tell him to cut it out. Of course I’ve known more than one person to call a vape pen a weed pen, so maybe the boss is just incorrectly describing it.
  6. The trafficked woman in Katie Britt’s story after the SOTU has spoken out today against politicians using her story for their own good. Link Fairly amazing that someone on TikTok tracked down the likely situation where Britt met this woman, and then journalists were able to force Britt into admitting the timeline and now Britt may have to apologize. or at least it will be a GQP apology. In a high pitched whisper, Britt will say that she didn’t disingenuously use this story and that she hopes the woman is doing ok today. Then she will say something negative about Biden’s failures on the border.
  7. IMO tomorrow is worse because of work. I will wake up early as usual but actually will be running late.
  8. Yeah. It’s very unlikely that a person and their team is going to spend a couple of year winning their first election to not run a second time. There can be circumstances that prevent someone from running but it’s rare. Not that they’re recent but I believe Truman and LBJ were the only 2 presidents that could have run again. I assume Truman was done after serving close to 2 terms, and LBJ was 5 years with an extremely unpopular war with his party. It’s probably not a coincidence that both of them were VPs of Presidents who died.
  9. Wouldn’t surprise me if the ufc pays trump to be there. This explains why Trump posted that his folks should give Bud Light a chance again, after the UFC signed a big deal with Bud Light.
  10. For people that believe Lindell, how many of them fall from that belief when he makes this statement every few months? 1%? Less than that?
  11. I find sports fairly unviewable these days anyway. Except for Longhorns football games, I’m cool with only turning on games in the last 15 minutes. edit: but to the OP’s question, I find the attention on sports gambling during games and pregames to be distracting. It’s also adds to the hypocrisy of sports. Which I don’t care except many sports announcers refuse to acknowledge it.
  12. There is a 0% chance that the n word is not spoken at that table. The woman is probably polite enough to whisper or even mouth the word, at least until the third drink hits. i wonder if the Fox News now has a safe word that then the producers say to the reporters to abandon a live interview. In case the reporter is not realizing the danger.
  13. GOP Mad Libs game. name an industry: ___________________ name a horrible situation : ________________ In the spirit of smaller govt and because their lobbyists demanded it, the GOP deregulated <industry> which led to <situation>.
  14. I’m sure the GOP will add protection if you accidentally murder an American who isn’t white. That’s not the murderers fault, it’s Biden’s fault.
  15. I don’t see a problem with the NC GOP putting up crazier and crazier candidates. Might actually flip the state.
  16. I'm surprised that Trump didn't deliver the GOP response to the SOTU last night. I know it's the standard that a member of Congress deliver it, but what does that matter. And I don't believe for a second that the networks or cable channels wouldn't have carried Trump's response. Big miss by Trump to let someone else go after Biden. If I was Biden, I would call out Trump in being afraid to take policy for 5 minutes. As well as telling Trump he made a mistake. Trump will take the bait.
  17. I've never been better than today. I recognize that there are many who are not doing well. These range from the people in their 20s (who truthfully never do well as a group) and those who have limited financial options, who also always struggle as a group. Finally there are those who intentionally sabotage their own finances due to political beliefs. I guarantee that are a few in DT and the football forum who moved all of their retirement money to cash on Jan 21 2021. And then subsequently missed out on major gains.
  18. Major ceilings at 70K/4K for BTC and ETH. 70K was briefly passed (new all time high) before the entire market fell down a couple of hours ago. Looks to be rebuilding steam. Makes me think that if these two resistance amounts are surpassed, we could see a major bump upwards. Of course I'm reading into the data what I want to see.
  19. We all know that you can pretty much hire any "expert" to produce whatever outcome you want. I pay an expert to say the sky isn't blue. If you really wanted a thorough and independent review, you would bring in ~5 experts from the FBI, DPS, and those familiar with local and school policing. Ask them to produce a comprehensive result including the ability for any of them to disagree. Or you can hire a single ex-cop.
  20. So basically the former Austin cop, investigating the police response, said that the local cops did their best based on their equipment, training and the situation they faced.
  21. i definitely would not tell the employee that his health is even remotely part of any employment decision. Either he’s doing the work or he’s not. His health should not be discussed in any meeting with him even though it’s the obvious reason. If he brings up his weight, be clear that the job performance is the only consideration. As the boss, I would refuse to say the word weight or health. on a personal level, I would be prepared that they guy would start crying when he's fired.
  22. Ronny Jackson, Amarillo and Wichita Falls' congress member, was demoted from Rear Admiral(ret) to Captain (ret) based on the Navy reviewing allegations about misconduct. I don't think this just occurred but rather just noticed/reported. On his official House bio, he lists himself as retiring a rear admiral. He's playing word games in that he did retire with that rank but then was demoted. On sub-pages, he does list himself as a retired rear admiral. Is it a crime to incorrectly claim to be a different rank?
  23. What’s sad is when Democrats in Texas need to count on Phelan to “save” us. Or nationally when Dems cheer on Liz Cheney. These are people far from normal Democratic values but they are somewhat at least standing up to the fascists.
  24. Pleasantly surprised that she didn't endorse Trump. I would have thought she would have done that to assist her in case Trump has to drop out for whatever reason.
  25. For those with elderly parents and kids, these become the reason that many middle aged people end up staying in a location effectively forever. Their elderly parents will never leave, and then eventually you want to be near the kids/grandkids. The cycle perpetuates itself. If one young-ish parent has a desire to leave Texas, the best path is to convince your kid to go to college out of state. Preferably not in an adjoining state. They live in another state, get married and have kids.
