  1. Hot sports opinion, but Buccees are actually extremely overrated and gross and nasty. Madisonville is disgusting. Ennis is awful. I can't think of the other ones off the top of my head I've been to, but they are all bad. Maybe Denton.
  2. Let's play a hypothetical. If one were interested in getting into this space, how would one? And what are some of the good companies in your experience?
  3. I read this and have more or less thought it true. Curious your thoughts:
  4. We found the guy who doesn't understand exiting protocol!
  5. didn't you make a million bucks last year? such a short memory these managers and companies have. now THIS is fascinating and talk about headwinds. But what do you mean selling sustainability? How does one sell sustainability? ESG consulting or management or something? Doesn't seem like a product you can sell it's an idea or concept for businesses to embody.
  6. I thought the big difference in this bubble versus the previous was that it was largely being funded by equities and NOT debt though. Hmmmm, are we being lied to?
  7. Fair enough, I don’t want window or middle seats arms in my persona space and pits in my face and the risk of you spilling on my laptop.
  8. FYI Ray Romano has been the pop-in at comedy cellar if you want to try and get lucky and see him. He's doing a Broadway thing this month and so he's been in town.
  9. Adam McKay: Anchorman, Step Brothers, Talledega Nights Big Short, Vice, Don't Look Up
  10. Wearing shoes is an obvious miss here.
  11. I fly all the time. I'm an aisle guy 90% of the time. On longer haul flights (3.5-4 hours+) I will go window and that is simply because I hate the getting up and down for people who can't control their bladders and/or prepare their bladders for a longer flight. That said here are the rules: 1) Reclining is your right. I will defualt to not recline if I don't have to. If the person in front of me reclines, I will recline to reclaim the lost space. It is usually needed because I am working on a laptop as well. 2) Window seat owns the window, aisle seat gets one arm rest and middle seat is a second class citizen and needs to act like a child in a German home; be quiet, well behaved and speak only when spoken to with the knowledge that you are being graciously tolerated for your inconveniencing everyone. The bigger you are (fat, tall or both) the more demure you should be. 3) The aisle guy needs to be quarterback on passing items down and up and managing row behavior (help bring down or put up bags for the old/women on your row, control the flow food/bev and trash so things are knocked over and arm pits aren't in each others faces, etc.) 4) One of the aisle guys (not both, you'll figure out which one) from the row (A-F) needs to stand up at the end of the flight. This discourages the inbred who try and sneak up and/or don't understand exit protocol. The further back you sit the more important this guy is. This guy is also the designated helper of both his row and the row directly in front of him to grab any carry-ons that are in his purview to help with the speed and flow of exit. 5) You can fairly ask for a swap of like for like (e.g. Window for Window or Aisle for Aisle) when it's obvious there is a child/parent/family situation. You can fairly ask for a swap for Window for Aisle or Aisle for Window in the same vein. Neither should be asked with entitlement and a polite decline should be accepted courteously. In a drastic scenario of asking for a swap from a middle to either window/aisle, you should do so with hat in hand, an understanding that you are at the charitable mercy of the asked, and with a measure of shame. If you can, you should always lead with an offer (e.g. cash, pay for drinks, etc.) with the understanding that if the swap were to proceed that decorum dictate those offers should be politely rejected but there are some neerdowells who might take you up on your offer. 6) 100% of the time you must ignore and pretend any child 0-3 is not being annoying when they are having a hard time. It's not their fault and the parents are likely doing their best. You should 100% of the time be overly understanding and overcommunicate with a smile. Any visible displays of annoyance or frustration for children and earnestly trying parents is a sign of bad breeding and mark of bad character. It is known.
  12. Elon sucks as we all know, but pretty good deal and payday for the rank-and-file of SpaceX incoming:
