  1. JPow wants it deep down, he just doesn’t want to admit it. He’s here for the dank memes just like everyone else.
  2. Challenge accepted. And our unelected officials say “Hold my beer while I trade around our next monetary policy announcements”.
  3. Hang on, where are the Billy badasses that were telling everyone that the richest man in the world was super smart and was going to 4d chess this thing up everyone’s ass? Damn this has been the year for schadenfreude. Putin Musk Aggy football Yankees baseball. It’s delicious.
  4. Yeah the price goes up again and by the way you’re in the queue now. That conversation will be satisfying.
  5. On the WFH issue, it’s becoming a really stark divide for employers. It’s my org’s number three reason for people leaving and it’s so dumb. As long as the work can be done remotely I cannot understand the need to make people commute and sit in a communal office. I could give a shit what he does to Twitter but guarantee this pushes programmers and other star talent to look elsewhere (assuming any is left).
  6. Same as it ever was. The good news is usually stupid like this gets weeded out after the failure. The bad news is they don’t always come back to you, just to a vendor that delivers. My attitude on this is fuck ‘em.
  7. Weird that all the guys predicting a huge red wave have disappeared…. I saw all the back and forth about lil Ronnie. I think he’s the nominee in 2024. Underestimating him would be a mistake. Trump is the best card dems can play . He’s a boat anchor in the maga boat parade and will drag the reds down if he is feeling disrespected. Which is guaranteed.
  8. Pretty interesting how badly DeSantis whipped Crist. Not a great matchup for Dems but I think this puts little Ron in the drivers seat for 24. And that means in someone’s crosshairs. Let the Thunderdome begin!
  9. Yeah the people who could turn it purple are getting the fuck out. Sorry guys.
  10. I don’t think we’re going to get a choice other than to gnash our teeth or lay back and enjoy it. Personally I think I’ll blame everyone else’s lack of buying stuff. I have everything I need already, you jerks.
  11. So this is the SA and SS part of the simulation? Who is Roehm?
  12. Demand destruction, baby. All the people bitching about inflation about to get a dose of disinflationary medicine. And it’s going to suck.
  13. No, the funds do. I understand the concept. But generally I’m invested in relatively diverse funds so my exposure to lil elo is pretty minimal. 90 percent of my worth is tied up in private equity, with all the associated risks and benefits. I like stonks better than shitty EV makers anyway. The only thing I find less investable is Cathy Wood and her lunatic funds.
  14. You hate to see it but more than that, you love to see it. Luckily I don’t own TSLA.
  15. Sorry, bad form on my part combining two completely separate thoughts. No he’s no troll.
  16. Two comments: yes to the above, and secondly, please don’t quote trolls. I’ve curated my surly feed and enjoy missing Russian crypto shit posts, or stupid both sides lawsuit trolling. K thx bye.
  17. Seattle is way more expensive than it should be for the same reason San Jose (which is a shithole in my opinion) is. Highly paid professionals competing for housing. I have to admit I don’t get Seattle but it’s been a while since I visited. Parts of LA are fantastic if you’re remote because you can avoid the traffic. Otherwise not so much. We went through this exercise a while back and ultimately you have to trust your gut, but make sure you look at the downsides to see if you can accept them. My choice has high COL, no night life, and no big events, but I am fine with this as it has the widest range of outdoor activities, perfect weather, and really super nice people. I’ll never live in a big city again and in retrospect I have no idea how I managed to stick in Austin for 30 years.
  18. I’m here for the melt down. I’m resigned to the fact that we’re headed for a real split once Biden gets impeached for the fifteenth time over Hunters schlong. President Greene will make CrossFit the National religion and make fitness great again. Elon Musk will assume control of Amazon, Walmart, and all the railroads and move all their headquarters to Austin. Costco will become the last place Libs are allowed to shop (Amazon becomes Magazon) but they have to wear their yellow L visibly. Anyway as you can tell the stimulation writers are losing interest.
  19. Here’s a better picture of dog running his beach. He’s usually off leash because vizslas are great about recall and sticking to their owner. He’s my best friend. Dogs are amazing companions even when you feel like shit.
  20. I have a feeling meta stock is going to do very well when this implodes. Because we’re about to see one of the quickest failures in LBO history. This is going to be a business school case study. Obviously TWTR was not a 44 billion dollar concern. Even with 30 billion in goodwill i think it’s overvalued. But his investors are looking at a minimum loss of 75 percent if he tried to get someone to take it over. Anyone think it’s worth more than 10 to 12 billion right now? Truly insane. He needs to move HQ to Austin and hire Joe Rogan as COO and Alex Jones to be CTO.
  21. RIP Jacare and Gizmo. Chocolate on the beach. He has become more difficult with food than ever but his seizures are under control with phenobarbital. He’s a great dog and friendly to everyone but holy shit he is a needy bastard. At least four or five miles a day and he won’t run with me except on the beach.
