  1. not a lawyer but ran M&A/investments for a few companies.

    • bookman is an idiot about Twitter/Elon leverage
    • fair amount of case law for these situations but rare occurrence for a deal to fall apart like this
    • Elon is likely hosed in some way with range of possibilities from i) forced to complete the deal ii) pay break-up fee iii) negotiated resolution or iv) break-up fee plus damages
    • likely won't take years and only a few months as DE courts don't fuck around
    • this would be a fun case to be involved in as long as you don't work for Elon
    • who really fucking knows what will happen as Elon is a wild card
    • even though twitter mgmt did not want to do the deal, twitter HAD to move forward with the deal as investor lawsuits would have been so damaging to the company that is already so horribly run

  2. what is the best one to get shipped / mailed? we have been gone from texas now 3 months and have a craving for decent Q. Willing to pay up and throw a party to justify the cost of shipping, min order size, etc.

    Will you get the same gambling thrill if you awaken one day to an email saying all your funds are now frozen due to the bankruptcy proceedings of your coin servicer, along with instructions for pursuing a partial recovery claim?

    This. I'll be amazed if coinbase survives.

    this is my worry. my renter is employed by coinbase.

    ponzi scheme is coming unraveled.

  4. Food in Zagreb is amazing. The seafood on the coast is out of this world. I don't like the beach and some of the beach towns can be fairly touristy but damn is the food amazing and cheap.

    You can get fairly reasonable Airbnbs for you plan in advanced. Definitely recommend for weeks if you work remotely.

    This thread is making me really uncomfortable with the fuck Russians thing.  Was it ok to beat up Muslims because they didn't openly condemn ISIS?  Was it ok when we beat up Asians because Covid.  Yeah.  Fuck this.  I'm out.  

     

    Edit.  Let's just put all Russians in internment camps for now

    What about sexy onlyfans camps?

    Malcom Gladwell has a great podcast about this.  Spoiler: but for the “best of the best,” and likely the worst of the worst, your law school has little to do with whether you’ll be a good lawyer.

    dirty secret on big law, consulting, or banking. you aren't paying for the best. you are paying for the credentials.

    This is 100% not true depending on your career path. In Finance or Elite Law, where you go to school makes a HUGE difference in your graduate school options. Try getting in Wharton with a degree from Texas State vs UT or Rice.

    My wife went to one of these schools (e.g. Harvard, Yale, Princeton) and even 15+ years out the number of doors that are open because of that branding and connections annoys me.

    I think you're going to see a split world economy. China sees what's happening and is going to want to cut itself off from being at the mercy of Western financial services... even more than usual. India is likely to follow suit, and of course Russia. 

    I own some shares of MasterCard and Visa. I think they did the right move by stopping business in Russia, but I think they also effectively limited their access to Russia/India/China forever. (There were already grumbles before all this.) So that's about 25-30% of the world population. Won't happen overnight, but the writing is on the wall.

    Russia is negligible in size. China never was going to be a big market for them given the regulatory hostility.

  9. I know I am in the minority but BOTW is too hard for extremely casual play. I only pick up my switch for a half hour every other week and can never remember where I left off or how to play. Looks like a great game, but I don't invest enough time to figure out / remember how to play each time.
