  1. If I ever win tickets to the Masters, I hope Freddie is still playing - because I would follow him for quite a while
  2. Yes, but it is a very large asshole, like a black hole with a huge gravitational pull l force that sucks in and destroys everything within it's sphere of influence
  3. Here is a sight where they can book space flights for you - including a circumlunar mission, 10 days in space including orbiting the moon (how much is the lottery?) Orbital Space Experiences - RocketBreaks
  4. scale of 1-10, how crazy is it that the President is personally involved in picking winners (and acting like the King anointing his chosen ones) answer below
  5. indexed annuity and a structured note that is tied to QQQ for one, and SPY for another, will do the managed portfolio if these work out. The products I am in have a cost of less than 1%, moving to managed portfolio doubles the cost and the risk. I started this move in July 2024, but took serious steps in late January/early Feb, so this rollercoaster is less worrysome to me.
  6. Holey Shit - if this is 5% true we are so fucked. I recently started working with a financial advisor, and have started a plan to move from direct equity investment into a structured product that gives limited equity returns (SPY, QQQ, Russell 3000, etc) and has downside protection. It is a 3-4 year plan. That currently has my direct equity currently limited to BRK and PRWAX, and SPY exists through the structured investments. And if course there are 3 stonks that remain, that today's just over 3%. All that said, I'm a big believer in long, and have offered my oldest son a personal guarantee to downside risk for 5 years, but only if he stays in the markets and continues to contribute into equities. He turns 29 this years, and he is very nervous about putting money in now.
  7. Not sure what they charge for this - but IMO it is overpriced for a 10 minute sub-orbital experience; without watching it again I'm guessing maybe 3 minutes weightlessness. If I'm paying to be launched into space I want to do a couple of laps around the Big Blue Marble we live on.
  8. Bezos' Blue phallic craft about to launch an all-female "crew" on a tourist sub-orbital flight, including Gayle King (Oprahs honey), Katy Perry and Bezos's fiancee Tits McGee
  9. Yeah - T14 means he sucks
  10. Tons of options as Houston is a foodie city, but depends how mobil you are Depends how mobile you are, but here is our list of things "local" to 1515 Holcombe : Southwells Grill/Two Guys Piizza - Greenbriar & Holcombe - neither are great, but they are close Candelari's - Italian (good pizza too) - Holcombe & Kirby Goode Co Taqueria - burgers/chicken/lite mexican & outstanding chocolate cinnamon shake - Kirby & 59 (Greenway Plaza area - 15 minutes from MDA with traffic, driving) Cold drinks - milk shakes and/or frozen coffee (Mrs Fairway went through a shake phase after sino-nasal radiation) - Whataburger or Common Bond - Greenbriar & Holcombe - Chick-fil-A - Holcombe near Buffalo Speedway MDA has multiple cafeteria/cafe's - main cafeteria - 1st floor near elevator C - great omelet for breakfast, salads are okay, and the pizza isn't bad for hospital food - May's cafeteria - accessible via 3rd floor skyway, near elevator C & take the shuttle - some good lunch options, limited time (I think it closes about 2pm) - Rotary House Hotel - accessible via 2nd floor skyway near elevator A - small cafe and a snack shop - I go there for Antone Po-boys, but there are other options Our options are more towards Bellaire as that is when we stay.
  11. Fuck, if they let me play Augusta once a year for the next 20 years, then I could die happy crashing my car into Butler Cabin.
  12. Now Jordan needs to get PGA championship, for the slam
  13. Congrats to Rory for a crazy win, and fur not crashing @ztejas car
  14. Christ Rosy, call a greens keeper to work the green over
  15. I'm going to shut up now No more Wally jinx
  16. I'm thinking BDC left the interview and went out to hit 500 balls on the range, then a couple of hundred putts
  17. They should draw a random number from 1-18, to determine which hole they play first
  18. Can Rory get more protein shakes/bars to get him through the playoff?
  19. and someone told Rose he could quit warming up
  20. caveat - this will not be true if Rory birdies 18
  21. takes a while for Åberg to play his 7 shots
  22. nice win for Rory (not jinxing) - in context only 2 players in the top 20 shot a worse score today that the guy wearing the Green Jacket. I have heard you can't win the Masters on Friday/Saturday .... but Rory certainly did that and then hung on to win.
  23. Just glanced at scores - Rose made 1 par on the back 9, and that was #10
