  1. People have been chasing that idea for decades as even they acknowledge on their website. I know nothing about the company and they may be the best out there, but if i was gonna be selling these things I would spend some time really trying to understand what differentiates their approach. There are many companies pitching the same value prop, it comes down to why this company versus the others. I looked into the industry briefly when I was trying to evaluate an investment, and I was surprised how many companies were out there making these things. dozens of em. Someone has to have the best out there, so maybe there is money to be made.
  2. Lulz at those three out of shape fat fucks opining on the state of athletics. They should work out a sponsorship with Jardiance.
  3. And good luck getting Trump to backoff his 150% tariffs on US altarboys. The vatican has been taking advantage of US buttholes for far too long! Tough year for a conclave.
  4. this country is full of really stupid people.
  5. They should come up with a drug that keeps you from stepping on your own dick every 2-3 months.
  6. @kristinewers would be my guess. I agree that Tua might be out of the league within a year, but only because his head is gonna soon resemble an avocado that is 3 weeks past ripe. The rest of that "analysis" is laughable bullshit.
  7. the rest of those broads should stfu and enjoy the increased contracts next time up. 75% of those chicks cant reliably hit a fucking layup.
  8. wonder if you can get a prop bet on which game in the series draymond's stupid ass picks up his 7th technical in the playoffs and has to sit out a game. I think he picked up his 5th tonight, correct? I'd probably bet game 2.
  9. I dont know about all that. GS went 3-1 against Minn this season and all of those games were before picking up Jimmy Butler in Feb. GS had the 3rd best record since the all-star break, and any team with both steph and jimmy is no pushover in the playoffs.
  10. cant believe GS is up 14 and Curry is scoreless
  11. Elder gets the start tonight on Sunday Night Baseball. Against the Dodgers.... ooof. Oh well, fuck the dodgers
  12. Course was so tame today, even Jordan got around without a bogey.
  13. I can think of no good reasons to sit Lacey after 4 games, if he has had to play that many already. This stiff aint winning a national championship, so keep developing the guys that may be important weapons a year or two down the road. I get the sense Sark isnt going to struggle recruiting QB's, so there's always gonna be talent coming in later classes, and KJ has to show what hes got when given the opportunity.
  14. Look at George and Harden just casually sitting in the top 5 all time.
  15. about that..... https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/03/berkshire-shareholders-are-stunned-as-buffett-announces-plan-to-step-down.html Had to happen sometime, I guess.
  16. That's a very sophisticated look he's crafted there. It screams "face of the franchise"
  17. Fuck, I forgot all about that dipshittery. Please tell me that at least one of those recruits ended up at Syracuse.
  18. Yup. For some, all publicity is good publicity. Kim Kardashian getting railed from behind launched the family dynasty.
  19. I met Earl about about 12 years ago and got to spend an hour or so chatting in a small group. Two things I remember: 1.) When I shook his hand, my hand just disappeared. Totally engulfed in his massive paw 2.) He had to get up and take a piss, and it took him five minutes to get up with a walker and make it across the room with help from his son Christian. Sad as fuck to see, he was hurting. But that was before his last surgeries and I think he was getting around better after that. That body went through hell and back dishing out all that punishment. It was a few months before he was honored at halftime in 2012. You can see how immobile he was in that video and it was worse when I met him. https://youtu.be/b9sWor5AWcQ?si=xuTSeDUwwH_pnh95&t=21
  20. two days of 100% forecast. 2+ inches both days. Survey says........fucking bullshit!
  21. The myth of the market always being efficient and everything being "priced in" is bullshit. My spidey senses kind of feel like the 2-3 week period in Jan/Feb '20 where Covid was no longer a rumor. Wuhan was locked down on Jan 20th, cruise ships were having a hard time docking etc... I was buying puts like crazy and wondering why the fuck the market was just inching up every day. Finally about a month later (feb 24) the dam broke and the markets starting taking a massive shit, and I had the one and only 6 figure trading month of my life. My decision was not based on the deaths or the lethality of the 'rona as that was still somewhat unclear in late Jan, but merely the fact that the global supply chain was gonna be proper fucked due to an inability to source product from China due to the shutdowns in manufacturing centers. It took well over 2 years for some lead times to return to normal in the markets I was familiar with (industrial automation hardware like robotics, PLCs, sensors, industrial PCs). Those are the same products that will need to supply all of the factories Trump wants over here in the US and a TON of that shit comes out of China, Singapore and Taiwan. I think there are some similarities with the current stresses that will surface with our supply chain today although not as severe as the covid shock. You can hear it in earnings calls and yet the markets keep creeping up. Algorithms make up 90% of trading these days, and they are gonna do what they do, but I see no evidence to suggest they price in these scenarios. they are too busy bidding up the price of PLTR to a PE of 654. In any case, I made a good chunk of change on puts in March and April. The last group look like they will expire worthless, but thats why you take profits on the way down. I've been sitting back for the last few weeks, but decided today to jump back in with about 25% of my profits into new puts after the market close today. I'm prepared to dump it all over the course of the next month or two as its house money, so to speak. We haven't solved shit as it relates to tariffs, the guys running the show on our end are fucking morons, prices are going up and layoffs are a coming.
  22. The SSA has a webpage where you can see the popularity of any name going back to like 1900. If the name doesnt show up, it means it was not in the top 1000 names for any year. In Jalen's case, I think you can make the case that he might in fact be responsible for the sudden name popularity. Prior to 1992, it was never in the top 1000. In 1992 (second of the fab 5 final fours) it shows up all of the sudden at #378. I guess it could be a coincidence, but I bet not. Fab 5 was a big media story.
