Also the "I want to be a glutton, but I don't need people KNOWING I'm a glutton. I'll serve myself, thanks."
That was my first damn thought when I read that quote. I participated in some absolutely grotesque displays involving crab legs in my younger days. We wouldn't shower until after dinner because we knew it would be such a mess.Â

Yeah, “Trip” is my experience.Based on the recent 911 call, Jr seems to have appropriated that designation.

Speaking of cheese, I picked up some HEB jalapeno pimento cheese and that shit is pretty, pretty good. It was an impulse buy, and I'm not sure I have ever purchased pimento cheese prior, but now I usually have some in the fridge. Goes great with corn chips, the red hot blues tortilla chips, and is pretty bad-ass stuffed into a baked potato. Its not super hot or anything, but did provide more kick than I was initially expecting.Â

He was born 40 years too early. Maybe with medical advances he's able to nurse a couple more seasons out of his body. Plus he'd be a monster with the way the game is played today.
Yeah, but if he was born 40 years later he would have missed out on tripping acid and the Deadhead life. Pretty sure thats not a tradeoff he would make.Â

According to CNBC, Oracle (ORCL) is going to own roughly 20% of the new TikTok entity, with Walmart (WMT) still in the fray. In keeping with a national security maneuver, President Trump is expected to rule on TikTok in the next 24-36 hours, reported CNBC, citing people familiar with the matter.
The issue of data collection, influence, etc... is an issue with all social media platforms not just TikTok and I would reign then all in regardless of what country the company is located. However the idea of this fucking idiot making a decision based on the technical merits of this case makes me laugh. I wouldn't trust Trump to properly use a 3 way selector switch.
Tik Tok is occupying more of his attention than the fucking pandemic. I'm guessing he saw that Sarah Cooper chick making fun of his fat ass, and instantly decided the platform had to go.Â

They can loiter longer on FOBs, require shorter runways that can be much more uneven in remote areas to operate, require less maintenance, and cost less. Problem is
they are slow and much easier targets. Not sure what the defense requirements would be to have the operate? They would be good in a "stack" over targets, right behind helicopters, but before the fast movers. Â if they are much less expensive, the defense contractors make much less money. Thus a pipe dream, regardless of the legitimacy of the concept.Lobbyists will see to that.Â

Somebody should convince Trump that it would help his approval ratings to play a live streamed round with a camera crew tagging along. If he's stupid enough to talk on record for 18 hours with Woodward, he'd probably bite.Â

Because the end game is they try and sell you a fucking paper directory or something. Which is already online via the Exes site.Â
Lulz. I called them back a few years ago when they were in a previous effort to update the alumni directory. They want to sell you about 50 things including a travel bag, a sweatshirt, a hardbound alumni directory and all sorts of stupid shit.Â

The completely non-rational prices of tech stocks is an indication that the entire system is fundamentally broken. It’s a massive Ponzi scheme supported by insane amounts of private capital designed to overwhelm a market segment long enough to allow all of the early investors in a tech unicorn to exit their holdings in an IPO or m&a transaction, leaving the financial risk with the public buyer.
This entire scheme would have spectacularly failed by now if it weren’t for government fed policies designed to prop up this scam for as long as it can, until it can’t. The future is going to be a challenge. The world has set itself up for some very low lows once these artificial highs eventually pop. I don’t know when or how it will happen, but it’s coming. The govt has run out of bullets to fire. Of course, I would have thought this would have happened by now, but never thought our govt would be buying bonds and stocks directly.Â

Im not saying they aren’t a good company or solution but this seems way overboard for a technology that I don’t know anyone who uses. Their marketing is superb and they have penetrated the Big 4 and all the GSI’s to build Snowflake practices and push it hard and heavy, but wow at these numbers.Â
IPO’s are like UT. They’re Back!!Lulz. $72 billion market cap on a company that had FY2020 revenue of $274 million and losses of $348 million. Saw this article regarding their IPO so I'm not sure if its from their IPO prospectus, but :Â
Market Size: Snowflake believes the cloud data platform market it competes in has an addressable market of $81 billion. Research from IDC calls for the combined analytics data management and business intelligence and analytics tools markets to hit $56 billion by the end of 2020 and $84 billion by the end of 2023.
Fuck it, they should have been able to get a $1 trillion market cap. Why not, its equally indefensable? We've seen this shit before but people have a short memory.Â

While he aint broke compared to the regular american (he still has a couple of million), its damn admirable. If he was truly the inspiration behind Gate's Giving Pledge, Bill should pay a little more attention. When Gates launched that initiative 10 years ago he was worth $45 billion. 10 years later he is worth $113 billion. Come Bill, pick up the pace man. Gate's wealth is greater than the GDP of 130 countries. Madness.Â

Read up on MSNVF last night and tried to take a crack at it this morning, but it was halted before the market even opened. Canadian company that has a trivial market cap but owns a US company called Unifire, who just scored a bunch of US government contracts
https://www.defense.gov/Newsroom/Contracts/Contract/Article/2347324/Â
Depending on these contracts, sometimes they just list  maximum sales (not guaranteed), but a market cap of $12 mil is shit compared to those numbers. If you cant make money screwing the government there's no hope for you as a business. Here's their recent revenue trend prior to these contracts:
Â
At this point, who knows where it will open once they allow it to trade again, but it might be worth keeping an eye on.Â
Other than that, my penny stonkin is limited to waiting/watching my SNVP , trying to ditch my last buy of EWLL , and waiting for Brewbuilt to crash below .004 again (she's close).

You should be spending your time making your voting plans and contacting everyone you know to make sure they are ready, too.Â
It goes beyond voting plans. If he declares the election invalid, do you think the Senate or DOJ will push back? It seems like an unlikely scenario, but then again I would have thought that the president would not be able to withhold US aid appropriated through congress to a foreign government unless that government investigated the son of his opponent in the next presidential election. Its basically accepted fact thats exactly what happened, and there were ZERO ramifications for getting caught red handed.
My concern is not who shows up to vote, or how they vote. My concern is the fuckery that will transpire to invalidate everyone that does vote. Who is going to stop him? The same feeble GOP dicksuckers in the Senate that have let him run roughshod over the country for the last 4 years? Barr and his non-partisan DOJ? Listen to his words, listen to the "warnings" about election tampering from the GOP and his administration. They already know they are going to lose the election, they have moved onto plan B. The statements that come out of that dipshit's mouth are so fucking obvious. You don't spend all your time positioning the election as a rigged event if you plan on winning it.Â

As a Broncos fan that bet on the Titans -2.5, this game result was sub-optimal.

Damn, just read the news. Set aside all of the political bullshit for now, I hate how she had to spend her last days. I'm a huge term limit guy for Congress and every bit as much for the Supreme Court. A 12 year term would have allowed her to serve her country on the bench and then 15 years of life after the court. As it is, she no doubt felt obligated to soldier on when her prognosis was grim. Rather than pack the court, I would prefer a more constant churn of justices.Â
