  1. On a side note, I just thought of this as it relates to planes, what ever was found out about the large puts/shorts made on airlines shortly before 9-11?
  2. That really doesn't count, that is just a dusting. Now ice or the better part of a foot today and a forecast total of 15+ that we are forecast to get through Sunday; along with 20 mph winds gusting to 40+, well that sounds a little chilly, wind chilly that is, to me.
  3. At least is isn't snowing, one of my kids moved there in 2021 and the snow storm a couple of years ago mostly locked down the city. Had to wait for it to melt, if I remember that took 2-3 of living through a slushy mess.
  4. I thought we had determined that those 2 things were not directly correlated, I mean I'd love to see a graph of UUUU stock price with the spot price of Uranium, and what the price of U was the last time(s) that 4U was at $7.70
  5. So is this going to be like when Desert Shield suddenly became Desert Storm, or did we just want to send a message and now they hope the shit gets back to "normal" (which it won't) Or is Operation Prosperity Guardian now swinging into Operation Kick Ass and Take Names
  6. actually found a juicier write up of Mr Wynzzard Darrell Wiggins, sounds like some of the Enron boys followed his lead; going to titty bars and tipping his favorite entertainers https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,954807-1,00.html for some reason this shit fascinates me - maybe I should make my next life/career change to do fraud audits
  7. It is actually easier that you might think. When I was a young, wet behind the ears auditor, I was working with a small father & son firm and the dad was a former FBI agent and he loved to tell stories. He laughed at some of our audit techniques, like sending out confirmations; then he told us about a Sr. Bank VP who created a bunch of interbank loans that were not on the banks books, and the confirms used to come to that guy for signatures. I don't remember all the details, but it was enough to make me think I didn't want to audit banks, or other financial institutions. and google is an amazing machine - found a story about it. I mean $17 million in 1980 is like real money today (almost $65 mil - again according to google) https://www.upi.com/Archives/1981/08/18/A-former-Allied-Bank-of-Texas-vice-president-pleaded/1242366955200/
  8. I have to think that all AD's, who are worth anything, have a working list for every coach at the school as to who is the immediate interim coach if something happens to the Head coach, and another list of who they want to talk to as a full time replacement if needed. I'd love to see the list leaked related to replacing $t Nick And 'Bama has to do this somewhat on the downlow as it will look really bad to publicly be turned down by 1 or more coaches. (hell look what happened when Luke Fickell turned down MSU, they made stretch hire in Mel Tucker, extended the stretch by his contract extension after year 2, and got caught with their dick in their hand when they had to fire him) - wait...wut?
  9. I've always said that you could only trust up the point that I could steal enough to buy my own island, easy answer was 9 digits. One time, the bank rolled over an overnight investment at the company I was controller at, and the $1.2 million was miskeyed at $120 million (someone moved the decimal two places). Sadly they had corrected it before I even knew it happened; I heard there is a small island in the Caribbean that is nice this time of year, I miss that island.
  10. The other guy on the Aflac commercials, Coach Prime
  11. Couple of years ago, due to an enlarged prostate, I reached a point where I could not pee. It isn't really painful, but the discomfort grows as time goes by, and 5 hours later when the urologist office finally could see me they got me catheterized and collected over a liter of urine (+/- how much spilled in the process) 2 best days of my life that year were, in order: a) the day I got the catheter in and the pressure relieved b) the day (about 2 weeks later, after surgery) when I got the catheter removed I will say that you learn to live with it - I went to work, went to a college football game, somewhat normal life stuff - you just have to remember to empty the bag every time you can. now back to talking about cancer and not enlarged prostates (which tested negative for the big C) and catheters.
  12. FYI - the airframe that lost its plug was delivered in October. I'm not saying there isn't ongoing maintenance requirements, but don't pretend this was a plane with thousands and thousands of hours on it.
  13. First world problems
  14. TIL, many people think it is a bolt tightening error, completely missing the importance of the bolt tightening inspectors
  15. Hypothetically (asking for a friend) - if you were flying into Seattle this summer would you exclude Alaska Air and favor Delta (both offer direct/non-stop flights), or would you assume that 5-6 months out Boeing & AA will get this shit figured out? Using wiki as a source: Alaska Air - 66 of 231 aircraft are 737 Maxx (all but 1 being Maxx 9's) Delta - 0 of 978 aircraft are 737 Maxx (though the do have 100 Maxx 10's on order) I would fly Southwest for the free luggage - but I don't really want to see Midway, DIA, Sky Harbor or Harry Reid along the way
  16. Great season - can't wait to see all the new clothes my brothers and friends start to wear. Timing is everything, and it all lined up and UM took full advantage of this year. You are right about having to get it this year - because next year includes UT, USC, @Washington (though they will fall hard), Oregon and @OSU). But I did want to point out that including Iowa in your year end gaunlet comment is very laughable (reference their last 2 games they lost by a combined 61-0, their entire season scoring an "impressive" 20 offensive TD's in 14 games, and yet they managed to have a 10 win season)
  17. All you young fuckers should read "The 100 year life", talks about how more than 1/2 of the people my kids age 22-31, are likely to live to 100. Excluded true 3rd world countries. But the book is about planning your life with that in mind; take care of your health, finances, social activity. And that ifi will look different than the traditional 3 phases of life - education, working, retirement.
  18. I don't really care who wins ----- ah fuck that, I hope that Michigan loses, they will play well, feel like they should have won, and rationalize some bad call, dropped ball, time keeper error, missed call, or other bullshit. Go Huskies (I plan on watching some of the 4th quarter, when all the important shit happens)
  19. now that would be a book for Surly
  20. I can give you 2 solid reasons that UUUU performs as it does: a) it is a Surly Stonk favorite ii) Wally Fairway actually owns shares in UUUU
  21. That sounds like a very solid plan; however I think if I did that we would end up in a famine, a war, another pandemic, and I'd end up like my good buddy Slim Pickens riding that bomb all the way into the ground
  22. I think that is something that Charlie was able to get Warren to see.
