  1. UUUU back down to around $5.  Time to buy and set sell price of $6.50.

    That thing is a rollercoaster between ~$5 and ~$7.  You can buy/sell 2-3 times a years just playing between those levels.

  2. I don't follow the team super closely, but Driussi's drop in form has been pretty remarkable.  He's not that old.  Maybe this is just who he is and 2022 was the outlier.

    I get your point, but he went from 2022 80%, 2023, 83%, and 2024 68%. I'd say that's regression and he's in his own head. That's a steep drop-off. These aren't anything past 40 yards, these are 40 and closer. Bobby even mentioned he spoke with a former Longhorn kicker who even said Bert is in his own head and he has to figure it out. 9 days from now I don't think the bulb is just going to come on for him. It may, but I doubt it. 

    He's not 68% from 40 and closer.  That kick the other day was the first he's missed inside of 40yards all season. He has been terrible from beyond 40 yards, but I don't call that a "gimme", especially for a college kicker. That's what I was challenging.

    I don't disagree he's in his own head on longer kicks, because he clearly has a strong leg and has had success from 40+ yards in previous seasons. But those aren't gimmes.

    Absolutely. And I hope they do have tryouts. Dude has regressed in unimaginable ways. It's baffling. How do you constantly miss gimme FGs? Like, wtf?

    Let me start by saying he has regressed from last year. But what do you consider a "gimme" in college? Bert was 9 of 9 inside of 40 yards before the one he missed one to win it the other day. Do you consider 40-45 yards a gimme? These are college kids, not pros.

    Place kicking has come so incredibly far in the last 20 years that I'm not sure anyone remembers when 50-52 yards was considered the far end of NFL kickers range.

    Place kicking is so technical and can be just like golf with the yips. Or when you line up over a putt and the hole looks the size of a ball. It happens. These kids aren't pros. But there's a reason I tell my 13 year old if he can kick the ball consistently from 45 yards he can get a scholarship to a good school. He's in 7th grade and is pretty solid from 32 and in right now.

    Did 4 pizzas tonight using TJs dough and 2 using Central Market frozen dough from HEB. Much better effort. Was able to stretch the dough out thinner this time. Also was able to find low moisture whole milk mozzarella as opposed to skim milk. Much better melt and flavor, and noticeably greasier. Found that at Wal Mart of all places. Could not find it at HEB. I think I may actually prefer the Central Market dough, but both were good. Problem is I'm jacked up on Semaglutide so could only down 3 or so pieces. Wife and kids approved. 606347762bb7e203eb6781570d8b1245.jpgdd5a6010cbd8a73a290a8e259e79dbd0.jpg

    What was your process for getting the CM dough ready to cook? How long to thaw?

    Pretty sure my wife has the flu, for the first time in 20+ years.  Achy all over, to the point that she has a hard time sleeping.  She just feels all-over shitty, and has for two full days now.  And she rarely gets sick (only member of our house never to have COVID -- tested, and negative this round as well).  Forgot how much the plain old flu sucks.

    Oh well, I guess that's what we get for filling our house with live poultry, drinking only raw milk, and having a doorknob-licking party.

    1. They can test for the flu and give her something to reduce the longevity of symptoms if she get diagnosed early enough.

    2. The honest-to-God flu is no joke.  If your wife has it I hope she feels better soon.  It kills tens of thousands every year, albeit not typically non-elderly healthy adults. But many of those it doesn't kill feel like death.  I roll my eyes when people say "I had the flu" when they felt crappy for a couple of days.  MFer you had a cold.  It happens. I think my sister gets "the flu" twice a year.

    Also domesticated cats are apparently readily catching H5N1. I have to wonder if the fact that damned near everyone owns some kind of mammalian pet these days increases the risk of crossover to humans, and eventual H2H transmission. The vast majority of Americans willingly allow potential animal vectors to wander around their homes, chewing on furniture and snuggling up to their families. If this gets loose in cats or god forbid dogs, it’s gonna be a clusterfuck. 

    Honestly the first thing I thought while reading the latest on this thing was "Goddamnit, my cat brings 3 dead birds a week to our porch".

    Broke through and ran to 0.55. I'm out now, so it's probably going to run to 10.00 

    That's cool. I'll ride it to 10, then patiently wait for it to go to 20 as it precipitously falls back to .25.

    I'm not going to admit to my experience with ALPP.

    Fuck making a pizza.

    I live in Georgetown and 600 Degrees Pizza is five minutes away.

    No way I can make a pizza as good as theirs’ and it would cost twice as much buying all of the ingredients needed to make it.

    Chinese food is the same way.

    You can make it at home but will spend a ton of money on all of the ingredients you need and end up never using them again.

    I don't care if you ever make a pizza at home, you do you, but what you posted is pretty stupid.

     

    BTW, Costco has SoloStove Pi Prime for $239.  We may end up going with that to see how much we're really into it.

    I bought back in after a short in and out trade. That is probably good enough reason to avoid it. Only read the press releases on their trials and the data presented are suspect. The fibro drug candidate is just repackaged cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxer. This feels like one that could go no where fast. I am in for 20k shares lol. 

    Lol.  Too late.  I'm in for 5k shares.

    Reminder

     

    * Regarding TNXP

    I don't remember that name.  Was TNXP one of the darlings on this thread in the past?  I did just look up the stock and yes it is in the shitter.  But it also just had FDA accept a new drug application for Fibromyalgia that had really good Phase 3 results.  And people are speculating commercialization in 2025.

    Convince me not to buy a couple thousand shares at the current level of <$0.40

  12. Next June will be the 10 year anniversary of when the mom across the street from us died from cancer. Mid 30s, 2 kids aged 5 and 7. Just awful.

    At her funeral her husband played "Just Breathe" with a slide show of her and her family. I can't hear that song without being taken back to that moment and hearing the sobbing from the crowd. I'm welling up right now thinking about it.

  13. Dusting off this thread as we're in the market for an outdoor pizza oven (portable, not built-in) and I bet after 6 years there are more people with input.

    Not sure we'd buy one ourselves, but my parents are asking about Christmas gifts and this is the price range they generally spend between my wife and I.  I'd rather this than 3 shirts.

    I think we'd use it a lot April through mid-October when we swim most weekends and eat outside a lot.

    I'm looking hard at this one:

    https://us.gozney.com/products/roccbox

    It has a wood firebox accessory you can "easily" swap with the propane box should I want to do that on occasion.

    So any new comments from folks that may have an outdoor pizza oven?
