  1. That reminds me of the new Alabama license plate motto, 'At Least We're Better than Mississippi '
  2. Oh my god, that's awful to hear. RIP you loquacious man. Truly shocked to hear this.
  3. So I've seen about three new Land Cruisers now, and I saw a First Edition in the Trail Dust color, which I guess is the new tan. May have put me over the edge, these are the best looking Toyotas in decades
  4. Theil is a dangerous motherfucker in many ways, but the one saving grace is that he has basically a negative social IQ. He was also responsible for that Blake Masters freak who is widely regarded as maybe the worst candidate of all time.
  5. Yeah, numbers 3 and 4 were pretty much my only criteria when I was looking. 6 obviously had a bearing though. Number 1 is important, but kind of what I am getting at is any legitimate accredited school is going to be fine without extenuating circumstances. In our work on the board here, we go through a lot of depth of detail of all facets of higher learning, where it's at, where it's going, etc... We are a private school, so much more focus in peer institutions, but realy across the board, academic wise you can succeed anywhere. The biggest differentiation between schools is usually administrative, finances and such. Which certainly matter, but you have to look at different metrics to really get a feel for that. I also believe undergrad college should have next to nothing to do with one's career, but that's a whole nother conversation
  6. Also, unless there is some specific career path that would be assisted by it, choosing a school mainly on inane and esoteric academic rankings is silly. All of the major schools are about the same. The differences lie in specializations and specific professors. Smart way to do it for sure.
  7. One thing I did was avail myself to the great city college system California has, you can transfer damn near any 100 or 200 level work to the University. Saves a lot of cash.
  8. I can vouch for UCSB. San Luis Obispo would be my number 2
  9. OK, yeah I understand more now what you mean. Agree that outcome is obviously the goal. My take is usually more that people don't understand the function of the executive.
  10. I would characterize voting for president exactly the opposite of this. I frankly consider people who vote for president on domestic policy the dumbest of the dumb.
  11. That's a legitimate position, but it doesn't obviate comsumer spending is in fact rising, if constrained. Walmart is serving the same segments as Dollar General, they are just doing it well. DG is a case study in stupidity with their strategy the last 10 years.
  12. https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/08/15/walmart-releases-q2-fy25-earnings Don't look shitty companies if you want to go that route
  13. Consumer spending is literally rising
  14. This isn't a guy that built the railroads here.
  15. It's a miracle he missed the pylons on that guardrail.
  16. Of course. Not sure that has much to do with school though. People gravitate to who they gravitate to.
  17. Yeah, I'm one of them. Oregon is the most beautiful state, 4 days out of the year
  18. My honest take is most people are true to themselves, the ones that are swayed are going to be swayed in any environment. You aren't netting anything by putting your kid under whatever nebulous "influence" you may prefer. They still have to live their entire life. I went to College of Charleston, UC Santa Barbara, and I sit on the Board of Trustees at our University here, which are all very difference places in pretty much every way you can imagine, and there is almost no difference in outcome for the kids.
  19. Primoz chose violence today
  20. I mean the fucked up housing policy is a huge inflation driver right now. PCE just came out at .2%. Take out housing? .1%.
  21. I am all about it. Probably best thing I've heard her say. The thing about it is, there is such chronic demand, we are always good, I really care a lot more about housing policy as it affects our country and citizenry than the personal impact it has on me and my company.
  22. His raison d'etre is being a vicious attention whore and has gone after multiple people who have called him out. Dude is a piece of crap.
