    Isn't it mind-boggling to y'all that the stock market keeps making new highs when a big chunk of the economy has essentially been destroyed?

    I just don't think it has been "destroyed" as much as you think. The GDP looks like it will be close to flat in 2020, the stock market is up, unemployment is down but shows signs of recovering quickly as the pandemic ends and on top of all that there is another 1.9T stimulus in the works.Ā 

    The short term future does not look bad.Ā

    Got some 3CHI Delta8 edibles.

    Trying out a half a gummy, just started to feel its effects.

    Gonna go for a full gummy tomorrow.

    thanks, Snacks!

    How was it? I just ordered a couple vape carts to see how they are.Ā

    If the boat is in a lift, it has to have a plug for the lift (most aren't hard wired). Put a tarp over the engine, and plug in an electric blanket on low, maybe medium if it is going to be less than 20 degrees for a few days (which is NEVER, in Austin), and cover the engine. There isn't an open flame to ignite gas fumes, if possibly present. Never worry about an outboard, the engine drains naturally, all you need to do is add fuel stabilizer. I would never winterize in Austin.

    We just got our first boat this year (super excited!) and weĀ have done something close to this. We have it on a lift on LBJ and have one of these in the engine compartmentĀ https://www.amazon.com/Caframo-Engine-Compartment-Heater-Silver/dp/B00MEMRGZE/

    Reading comprehension, how does it work??

    You called out that the posters on thisĀ thread for negging you and then said you wereĀ "surprised to see them cool so much on property damage after assaulting the Capitol, last time we were clocking a few pages an hour." There is no way you meant the police were "clocking a few pages a hour".Ā 

    If you want the Trumpeters to own their own words you need to own your words as well.Ā

    I didn't say here on surly, I was reflecting on how the police seem to have remembered their use of force training now that their opposition is white trump supporters. Y'all were very excited to see curfew call during the BLM riots, just disappointed that force has not been used uniformly and to the standard set (and thoroughly documented) in June.

    I wonder what the difference is for the police this time.Ā 

    Bullshit

    Ā Most of the folks who've been negging me in this thread were VERY enthusiastic about boots on black necks during the BLM protests and riots. It's surprising to see them cool so much on property damage after assaulting the Capitol, last time we were clocking a few pages an hour.Ā "

    I think Joe B wants to change the LTCG from 0/15/20 to 0/15/39.x

    which i support tbh

    I can see why people would support increasing LTCG (kinda) but why would you support LTCG be greater than ordinary income (top bracket 37%)?Ā 

    I don't think he would have the votes to do that.Ā

    Votes for Loeffler and Perdue are extreme.Ā  They are both extremists who happily take the nation to the brink of collapse for some real or perceived personal gain.Ā  Ā They are extreme Trumpists in every way, and extreme Trumpists are much more damaging than ideologically pure extremists.Ā Ā There are still some Rs that one could vote for without being considered a rube or an extremist, but none are in these runoffs.Ā Ā

    Most Georgia voters said that deciding which party controls the Senate was the ā€œsingle most important factorā€ in casting their ballot, according to A.P. voter surveys.

    Ā 

    This was my point - They are not voting for these people, they are voting for control of the senate.Ā

    Also Exit Polls are stupid but:

    FIRST EXIT POLLS in the #GASen runoffs!

    Was the 2020 presidential election in GA conducted fairly?

    Yes: 56%

    No: 41%

    I think that likely favors Rs though. If 41% said no that is the "extreme right" there are going to be a lot of moderate R voters who would say the general election was fair and still vote R (I know this board thinks all R votes are extreme).Ā

    Well this is traditionally the quietest week in Vegas for the year. Hopefully it’ll work out nicely for you.

    Back in my 20's I was living in LA and couldn't make it back to Texas for the holidays due to work. So I took a quick trip to Vegas over Christmas. I can attest that casinos on the evening of 24th and morning of the 25th are about the quietest places you can be in a normal year. I kinda liked it though.Ā
