Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
I thought Venezuelan oil was the thick tarry stuff that’s energy intensive to refine. Not calling it swill, but swill compared to what’s coming from west Texas or Middle East. Also, Marco Rubio is a POS. I understand doing it for the paycheck, but at one point he was somewhat respected. Now he belongs in front of the ICC along with everyone in this administration.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Deal. But you have to deal with shipping from Taiwan, customs and that pesky law about not transporting ivory across borders. My dad bought it 40+ years ago and there were no papers at the time. It really is a headache that I gotta deal with in the future.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords
Clicked on this thread not knowing what to expect, relieved to know we can bring politics into technology advancements. Anyway, China is already using robots on the border with Vietnam for menial tasks such as checking manifests and inspecting other items. They can also replace their own batteries to minimize human interaction. Pretty cool stuff. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-deploys-robots-to-patrol-border-crossings-as-embodied-ai-goes-public/ar-AA1TbdBL?ocid=Peregrine At the border crossing, the robots will be assisting border officials in guiding passenger queues, directing vehicles, and answering questions for travellers. Some robot units will be patrolling corridors and waiting areas, blocked exits as well as monitoring crowd patterns to alert human officials in case an intervention is needed. Other robots, however, are expected to work within cargo lanes and provide support to logistics teams by checking container identification numbers, confirming seals, and relaying status updates to dispatch centres. Another group of robots will also be expected to conduct inspections on steel, copper, and aluminum facilities.

There was an article on Bloomberg that said boomers are passing down shit that their kids don’t want. Got me thinking wtf am I gonna do with an English tea set, a carved elephant tusk and a bunch of ornamental pewter plates and goblets.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
13 YO daughter and her hormones. Disrespectful, rude, angry and crying at a drop of a hat. I think being rained in and not leaving the house for several days is part of it. But man… I wish I had 2 boys instead.

Ski Season 2025/2026
We just came back from a ski trip in Canada, Calgary region. Lake Louise resort got a ton of snow and the service was top notch. Whistler was amazing when we went a few years ago. In the US, we went to Brian Head last year. It’s a small resort, 3 hours from Vegas and not much to do there. But it was cheap and the snow was good.

Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Yeah, but with GLD and SLV, it’s easier for the government to track gains / losses. As a law abiding citizen, I would never do such a thing. Just pointing out that someone might not report profit and pay capital gains tax if you sell physical.

When we did our kitchen and bath renovations, I picked everything and she went along with it. Good thing she likes taupe as much as I do.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
I got a BAD case of the flu, and she's done a really crappy job of taking care of me. I asked her to buy some chicken so I could make chicken noodle soup. After I put the chicken in the pot, I threw away the tray into the trash. She looked at me and asked "Aren't you gonna recycle that?" Woman, I'm running a 103° fever, everything hurts and I'm cooking my own soup because you haven't done anything, and you're giving me shit about recycling? 🤬

Picked up a bug and have been knocked out the past 24 hours. Fever, chills, body aches, etc. The worst is the brain fog. It’s like I know I can do something to feel better, but can’t remember what to do. 2026 is off to a shitty start.

California’s mandated low flow shower heads. Yes I know we’re in perpetual drought, but a man needs a strong shower. Showering in other states / countries is a treat.

Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of you
Coming home to warm SoCal after 10 FRIGID days in Canada. It was -8 degrees when we arrived in Calgary. Average highs were 0 degree. It was cold.

You don’t want to see pics of friends. The hot ones are not friends. They are the MILFs. You mean except Conan O’Brien right?- Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
What does it mean “refiners are backed up?” I’m assuming that doesn’t affect Eagles, Buffaloes or anything .999. Can anyone explain?- Post a pic that makes you lol

I wouldn’t say it’s bad, just different than early Dave. It’s more story telling than small bits. Maybe because I like storylines that tie together at the end (eg Seinfeld), Dave’s current format is still enjoyable. I give her a pass because of the Vietnamese mail salon bit which was spot on (according to all my Asian female friends).- Shit My Kid Says
Background: We’re close with 2 families who both have 9 YO girls. One is plain looking but is funny and a blast to be around. The other is really pretty but had some serious mom-daughter anger issues. Me to my 10 YO boy: If humanity depended on it, who would you pick to be your girlfriend? 10 YO: I pick suicide. Me: I mean it when I say humanity depended on it. Civilization would cease to exist if you didn’t make a choice. 10 YO: Civilization’s had a good run. We don’t need it to keep going.- Official 2025 Holiday Insanity Bitchfest
Lucky to be spending the Christmas break with one of my wife’s bridesmaids and her family. She’s hilarious, her husband’s a really nice guy, and the kids are playing well with mine even though they’re younger. As a return gesture, I’ve made a few breakfasts and all of the dinners. They must not be good cooks, because the daughter has scarfed everything up and made multiple “this is the best …. I’ve ever had.”- Trivial Things That Make You Surly
My kids call me “special”. Is that the same?- Christopher Nolan's next film, The Odyssey
Really looking forward to this. I read the Odyssey during high school and loved it. Not as much as the Illiad, but still excellent. I don’t remember the part where he came upon the undead. Really hope he doesn’t skip with part with the sirens and then Odysseus and his son killing all the people in his house. BTW, there’s a POS book called the Lost Island where it presupposes the island with the cyclops was actually off the coast of Venezuela or some Caribbean country. It’s stupid and don’t waste your time reading it. - Popular comedians that are not funny. I’ll start : Bert Kreischer
