  1. Go on across the rainbow bridge, Ace. Dogs are just so fucking awesome it's sad they can't live longer. But maybe that's because they are so special.
  2. Damn Alcaraz took care of Seb Korda. I don't know what "it" is, but Alcaraz has it and Korda doesn't. Shame Parry couldn't beat Sloane because a one handed backhand for women is just about unheard of these days, Tomorrow, Kecmanovic v Medvedev should be a good one.
  3. I clicked the post from the guy I have on ignore and immediately regretted it. Good thing it was short and useless.
  4. Here’s another serious inflationary data point: developers are switching a lot of product from single family for sale, or conventional builders, to single family for rent. That is due to lower income families and individuals who want to move into a house not qualifying due to higher interest rates, higher taxes, and higher home prices. The housing affordability crisis is about to get turbo fucked. Because rent is a sure way to take away a method for building wealth for a lot of families.
  5. Bruin, we're here for you man. I have been through this fight vicariously too many times, lost some, won some. But fucking cancer sucks, hard. (Butt fucking cancer, get it?) You've got this, hopefully you have a quick treatment and recovery but keep your head up. Please keep us updated through the ups and downs as we're looking forward to more UCLA disastrous football seasons as well as stories of salty sea captains.
  6. This has a slightly different meaning than transitory but you are a buckeye. My data point today: 86 bucks filling up my car at pickys pantry on Bee Cave road. Ouch. Of course it was 93 octane because I can’t use peasant gasoline.
  7. My wife is from Houston and she would leave if I moved there. I’d leave too if she suggested moving there.
  8. I don’t know what this is about but there are some threads I just won’t click. Anything relating to guns and/or shootings. And yes, an extended vacation is sometimes what is needed. I take off from reading surly for a week at a time during football season sometimes.
  9. 93950. Monterey Bay peninsula. Not a hot market except when COVID hit and the techies from SF Bay area decided that was a cool place to work remotely.
  10. Well we’re officially homeless now. Closed today with no issues at all and packing the stuff up for the next week. The 78746 market is fucking bananas. Seriously. 15 to 20 percent over asking? That’s crazy talk. The best news of the day was when I talked to the mortgage guy in Cali and he said the market is softening quickly there. No more multiple offers and stuff sitting 30 plus days.
  11. Brooksby is kind of a weirdo so him going out is fine. Coco and Sloane advanced but neither looked great Alcaraz looked fresh and overpowered the Uruguayan dude, who has a forehand and nothing else. Wimbledon ratings shart is probably going to consume a lot of headlines the next couple of weeks.
  12. Fat Jabber already out. WTA tennis, man. I wonder if Halep has a run in her? I don't know who can stop Swiatek but Andreescu could if fit,
  13. Man, fuck the NYT with a rusty butter knife for pushing that cede territory narrative. Has no one learned how to deal with expansionist autocrats yet? Fucking appeasers.
  14. All of these. The tariff war with China is an easy place to begin, along with the Covid induced supply chain issues and the PPP which served very limited purpose beyond injecting lots of cash to a few companies that needed it and a bunch that didn’t. We didn’t take a penny of it, but have bought several companies that did and almost all of them were just as badly run as you’d expect. Government direct stimulus to companies is a terrible idea ; government projects are way better but obviously procurement rules make it a slower process. I think when it’s all said and done QE and other forms of stimulus are going to be found to have been net negatives long term.
  15. Fit and finish. Things you wouldn’t expect at the price point. The ones I’ve read about with software updates and mapping issues are all anecdotal.
  16. I think their QC is pretty poor. I’ve been in several that were nice enough, and acceleration is pretty unreal, but enough people I know have had quality issues that I wouldn’t consider one. But I’m not their target since I don’t like sniffing my farts.
  17. I love fans of every stripe, they pants themselves every time. Poor Elon appreciates you sucking his micro peen. At least the dipshits buying a Tesla have an overpriced crappy EV to slow for it.
  18. I see pain. But then again I am always the conservative one, except in my stonk account. By the way that one is severely shrunken these days. But this kind of sucks, and I don’t see how overall things don’t keep getting worse until total capitulation.
  19. Haha except when you need them. He’s going to spend a lot of his fake Tesla money on lawyers and wind up settling on paying Twitter half the walk away fee. Everyone wins.
  20. China holding 69 percent of the worlds grain reserves seems like it could become a problem…
  21. Reporting in. 10 lbs down, not exactly what I had targeted but progress. I wanted 45 in a year. I think I’ll do about half. But for me the key is this diet and lifestyle is sustainable. The best part is that most of the loss has come off the gut. You guys keep posting. Some of the lurkers take motivation from the success stories!
  22. She’s going to get destroyed. As is shitsipas by Djoker. Two assholes so I support the meteor.
  23. Speak for yourself. My combination of lack of empathy and narcissism can’t be replaced by any machine!
