    Need to make corporate ownership of single family homes illegal. There's just no good reason for that.

    so owning rental property should be illegal?
    from my experience almost all the homes around a campus, are student rentals
    I know several individuals who own rental homes, almost all are through an LLC; some as a side business, a couple as their main job

    So, is the move to select the max for everything for every day and then you get (most likely don't get) what you get?  (essentially you put a "ticket" in the hopper for each day's drawing unless you get selected which removes you from the remaining days' drawings) Or, do you pick 2 tickets for 1 day or practice day and somehow you have a better chance for that day based on your selectivity?  Seems like being in every day's drawing is better.  Anyone have any anecdotal experience upon which they base their current approach?

    4 tickets a day for practice days, 2 tickets a day for tournament days. That is the max I you can request.

    Someone else will have to give you advice on strategy that actually works (25+ years of disappointment is what I have to offer)

  3. Taking a damned week off kills the momentum leading up to the finals. 
    I wouldn't really care, except there is a local kid playing for the Celtics. So I will watch, just to see some of that. 

  4. Have to say I am somewhat impressed/skeptical by this - DFV's prior Reddit post was 4/16/2021 and the snapshot of is account had a total market value of $34.3 million, now just over 3 years late the total is $210.6 million while increasing his shares held from 200,000 to 5,000,000.  That truly is quit a run.

  5. How much would it cost to buy a billboard near the republican convention? 

    I'm thinking a photo of Trump and s group of his high profile idiot followers. Captioned with "Play stupid games, with stupid prizes"

    Not sure they would get it

  7. So which Surly posters have been vacationing in Spain?

    The authorities in the town of Platja d’Aro, on Spain’s Costa Brava and around 60 miles northeast of Barcelona, have introduced fines for anyone daring to go out in public in costumes depicting genitalia or carrying sex dolls.

    Individuals could be left with a $811 fine (€750) for “walking or standing on a street or public space without clothing, or only in underwear, or for wearing clothing or accessories that represent human genitals, or with dolls of a sexual nature,” a city hall spokesman told CNN Thursday.

     
     

    Higher tolls of up to $1,620 (€1,500) could also be levied for anti-social behavior which causes more of a disturbance, though the exact nature of these offenses remains unclear.

    It is all just fun and games until someone brings a sex doll.

    Orange juice prices are going through the roof 

     

    • The benchmark frozen concentrated orange juice futures, traded on the Intercontinental Exchange in New York, closed at another record high of $4.77 per pound on Wednesday.
    • Harry Campbell, a commodity market data analyst at research group Mintec, said that soaring orange juice prices have forced manufacturers and blenders to adapt to the situation by considering alternative fruit juices.

    @Wally Fairway

    Would you ring your broker and start buying puts?  please?

    It's been a slow couple of weeks, I'm sitting on the sidelines seeing which way the winds blow - looks like maybe headwinds, but then again if the market turns just slightly it could be the wind beneath my sails, or it could just be blowing smoke up my ass.

    I can't believe oxygen and oil would fail. 

    LOL - reminds me of a conversation I was part of years ago, going to a petrochemical plant with 2 engineers and they were debating which is more inherently dangerous superheating a hydrocarbon stream under high pressure (aka cracking) or combining oxygen with a hydrocarbon stream (an ethylene oxide plant in this conversation).
    This conversation was relevant as our plant of was part of a much larger facility that had a large "event" the week before.
