  1. Hitler was a vegetarian. I am not saying that all vegetarians love Hitler. I am merely saying they want EXACTLY the same things, and boy that is a really weird coincidence wink wink. The "D" is TDS stands for deranged.
  2. I've already described the value proposition that this website offers. Well, it did in the past. Your understanding of that value proposition is different it appears.
  3. You don't understand your business model at all. Good luck.
  4. I've been looking at LAC as a lottery ticket. They raised new money today. Based on the shares issued, their overall valuation is basically unchanged.
  5. It's half or more of the potential market for users. This isn't hard.
  6. I insist upon gas stations for all my tacos.
  7. Thigh
  8. I used to carry this around in my car.
  9. I didn't know we would be mainlining Aggy Misery today. Holy shitballs.
  10. Medina lake history. I absolutely love that part of Texas. We used to go out there riding the Three Sisters.
  11. I cannot compete with anyone here vis a vis their love of wine. I've more or less moved to whisky, mainly because I can put the top back on the drink it again a month later. That said, I am a gentleman and will always have a bottle of champagne in my fridge. A couple of years ago when I was living in Stuttgart, I was able to attend the Salon des Vins des Vignerons Indépendants Strasbourg. I don't know if anyone has been t one of these, so I will tell the story. https://www.tradefairdates.com/Salon+des+Vins+des+Vignerons+Indépendants-M13982/Strasbourg.html Basically, it's all the smaller winemakers. Tons of champagne for example, I took home a case. Not the big names, I've been to Reims-Epernay, they weren't there. I also bought some a couple cognacs, which were amazing. All were around $20 per bottle or less. So when you walk in, you pay like $5 and they give you a glass. Some pro types had a lanyard to hold the glass. There was probably 500 booths for wine, maybe more. An entire large convention center filled to the brim. People were buying everything by the case. So you wander around getting free samples until you find what you like. Then you get a couple cases. So you would get a hand truck (for free) and fill it up. Then you go over to the temporary storage area, and drop off your goodies. When you are ready to leave, there is a special loading lane. So you drive over, grab your purchases and a hand truck, and load up your car. People were literally filling up their cars, they must have a bought a years supply. All in all, it was a completely amazing experience. They do similar shows across France. I didn't need to ship anything back to the US as I was living there. Has anyone ever been to one of these?
  12. Last time I looked, the VA removed maximum limits on its loans. They had been around $450k. I am still having trouble believeing I can do a million dollar VA loan, but holy shit if I can it's gonna be awesome.
  13. His accent in that commercial is absolutely terrible.
  14. I think they are going to have to cut rates massively to avoid out of control deficits. To be fair, this is what I am hoping for anyway. When this happens, I want to get massively long on some personal real estate. It will be the last time we see low cost mortgages, and just like the inflation from the 1980's, if you held on to your home the mortgage cost inflated away and the home value (driven by nominal wages) just kept going up.
  15. Leg thigh combos are for the poors. It's impossible to cook the legs and the thighs correctly at the same time. That said, I really miss Houston.
  16. Can we start calling Parker Livingstone "White Lightning"? Because that would be hilarious.
  17. That depends. How much truth do you want to know? Did we take them missile shopping and hand them our credit card? No. Did we give them a few billion in the vain hopes they would behave themselves? Yes.
  18. Holy shit bro. Most people won't remember, but a couple years before the event, the stack fell down. We were there for the fall lacrosse tournament, and looked over at their leaning tower of stupidity and kind of just laughed. They got it rebuilt before the game. The point is, they knew it would happen. It wasn't some out of the blue "we didn't see this coming" black fucking swan event. It was a known thing. My recollection was they blamed the rain, I think, when I was there. Soft ground. According to wikipedia, they will have to use a professional engineering firm this time.
  19. Except the Ukraine sea drone success is recent. Ukraine has been exporting grain from Odessa long before they fucked up the Russian fleet. They had a formal agreement with Russia to do it, then when Russia walked away, the Ukranians just kept exporting and the ships moved unmolested. People continue to insist that Thanos will snap his fingers and all the Russian soldiers will die. That's not reality. Russia won't quit until Putin is gone, and there is zero sign he is about to be killed. In fact, there is good evidence of broad public support for the war inside Russia.
  20. Do football coaches still wear those cool shorts?
  21. What's not included in the analysis of contributions is the active duty support we are providing them. The SAG-U has been in charge of coordinating international aid shipments since the beginning, and it's always been funded and operated by the US, even before it was formally stood up as I think a 2 star command. I am linking everything I say now so there is no issue. But I will say the fuckers took my parking spot. Press Release - US Department of Defense establishes Security Assistance Group-Ukraine in Wiesbaden > U.S. Army Europe and Africa > Article View Press Release Of course, it is also public that we are in charge of the actual handoff of materiel to the Ukrainians. How a tiny Polish airport became a key node for Western aid to Ukraine - Defense One Of course we are training them at our bases, that is also public.

  22. I made very specific recommendations. Perhaps you should read them.
  23. Source is the Kiel institute. I believe the red bars are "allocations" meaning the EU separately made a commitment, and Kiel is "allocating" that proportionally by GDP. I would be curious as to how much EU commitment has been delivered, they are a famously ineffective group who generally prefer strongly worded letters over action. Not scaled by GDP, obviously.
