  1. Fresh $1B tether minted Xmas morning. Hope your bags are packed.
  2. this thread is frightening. Son got his first B in HS (as a soph) and we are like "well, there goes UT". The CAP thing UT Tyler sounds interesting if he could qualify for that. got some family there anyway.
  3. i mean, how else would you even know that Michael Jackson died?
  4. is Ohtani really giving up the time value of money and not getting any increase in total compensation for deferring? the Bonilla deferred buyout comes to mind, so why would Ohtani give the Dodgers an interest free loan essentially (other than wanting to free up salary for stellar teammates)? I have to believe this has not really been done before 'cause no other player would risk inflation (or new taxes) eating in to that 700M. Fuck, the world or America may not even resemble today in 10-15 years. 700M could buy some kick ass zombie apocalypse gear or a private island or three with Airwolf, Blue Thunder AND Firefox to ferry you back and forth to the mainland.
  5. dude could probably buy the real Rosetta Stone at this point. British Museum, right? yes, he is an institution and there are ways to make some money back, but $70MM seems a little panic-y and bidding against themselves.
  6. no one really thinks utility or feature set or scalability has anything to do with the pricing, right (talking about alt coins here)? we are just trying to read the whale tea leaves and make some money in their wake. at least that's my take on it. World events, new stories, EFT chatter are the bandaids to help manipulate the markets. Whales just liquidated a TON of leveraged longs with this plunge down from recent highs. not sure how much tether they still have liquid to keep the momentum going, but overall i think a bull run is starting where holding coins longish term will make sense. Been riding one called INJ for a while now along with some SOL exposure. I still remember my stop loss hitting on SOL back in the day around 90 and liquidating my position. amazing that it could come back from the dead like this. there is now a ton of chatter about SOL NFTs and that volume will spike up and surpass ETH based NFTs every now and then. i need to go through my old Phantom wallets and see how much loose SOL is still there.
  7. i also love the mental gymnastics that the only team in CFB that got better as the year went on was Alabama.
  8. i saw some tweet that said the Wynn dealers make a record number of tips on Saturday night. the exact number escapes me but something like an extra $2-3K per dealer vs normal Sat night.
  9. 25% in. One more dip This is not a drill. I need your exit liquidity.
  10. All the linemen were down field thinking run
  11. i think there was a permanent stickied thread about UT PUF taking money out of west Texas oil and that Tech should get some of that back on that old board RaiderPower. the Tech old guard was very salty about that. no fuss no muss 14pt win. let's get it done.
  12. tbh, Frontier, Spirit etc... really provide a valuable service to capture the lion's share of this nonsense. maybe they should be monetized when crazy shit goes viral on their planes.
  13. we did Banff many many moons ago maybe 25 years back?, i think in Feb. on just random trip the wife and I took. number one thing i remember was how fucking cold it was. i rode the whole time but we were really just doing 1 run off the chair and then straight to the bar to warm up and have a drink. Then repeat the cycle of freezing our ass off on the lift, skiing down and warm back up. I am pretty sure we stayed at the Fairmont Banff Springs. not very helpful i know
  14. Portillo, Chile booked for late July. have this thread to thank for putting the bug in me to go and it took zero arm twisting to get the fam on board. nabbed one the chalets. hopefully they are as cool as they look.
  15. the whales colluding with the exchanges are going fucking wreck the options they don't like.
  16. 3x lev is for pussies less risk averse than the Iowa offensive coordinator. 100x or GTFO
  17. yeah, any comment RE: someone's family/health is usually completely BS and code for they are about to do the opposite.
  18. is he OkieST bob now? i guess i should listen to the show, but now that OSU is in line for a b12 champ game slot, he was giddy that the bad reffing continues
  19. yeah some places will do like a week pass (7 day) with 4-5 days to ski. have not been to CB yet so not sure. We are headed there in Feb, but bought the Epic pass really early on. Should actually get decent use as we are headed to Whistler over spring break as well. I think the break even price for getting the pass is skiing 5-6 days total, so it's normally worth it. from your post many moons ago, RE: the kids and lessons. since they are all first timers, it might be worth it to do a private lesson for all 3 at the same time for the first day, but totally recommend some sort of lessons for consecutive days for them.
  20. it's just old. not sure there is much you can do other seeing if the vet has any ideas or if there is something actually medically wrong causing this.
  21. peter millar has some Rangers WS Champions stuff if you are inclined for more stuff to wear while yachting. Texas Live looked insane and fun as hell last night. We strolled through there before Game2 and it was packed 4 hours before first pitch. John Smoltz trending on X last night was tremendous. Seeing all the memes and hot takes on his disdain for the Rangers was awesome. If you did not catch Raymond on with the Musers this morning, he had a badass interaction with Boch after the game. As the players were moving into the locker room for champagne fun, Raymond caught up with Boch and he said "finally got you that fucking ring, boy" (badly paraphrasing)
