  1. Same i’ll never go back. But to be able to listen in on their convos would be gold Jerry!
  2. thank you I was thinking it was 3 quarters but that seems excessive then I thought well if it's 3 it must be months. shoulda looked. 2 consecutive quarters ... well, either way I won't be surprised if the pain goes up and people say it's our duty to endure.
  3. Takes three consecutive months of negative growth for a technical recession I think. So depends on this month. If it starts now then in May it would be recognized.
  4. There is absolute wisdom in none at all starting yesterday. But even if you have no psychological issue and no liver or kidney issues, cognitive health pretty much demands your consumption be as little as possible (like under 5 drinks a week) and zero by the time you exit middle age (beginning around age 65).
  5. Days up and down they come, like rain on a conga drum, forget most, remember some, don’t turn none away. -Townes Van Zandt * * he’d qualify to be a founding member of this thread if still alive and he so desired. always, always remember until the end is truly nigh, that there is always tomorrow. I’ve had ridiculously bad days - the worst of them. Then the next few days in a row I’ve had the kind of outcomes that cause a surge in endorphins and make me feel truly alive.
  6. Current medical wisdom even re moderate drinking is that we should cut it all out 100% by age 65. That’s if we keep drinking at earlier ages at all.
  7. not gonna happen but I might just get the boat another way.... here's my grand plan... I just joined a start up boutique investment bank as their GC (part time, large deals, very nice stable of companies we are marketing, stoked about the opportunity actually), and we need to land a few fees but then I'm going to tell the CEO who loves boats and has connections out here even though they moved downtown recently to buy an "old man" boat for the company. we will be taking it out sometimes but partying on the dock regularly if that happens.

    My dog died

    If I ever give up on humanity we may just buy a tract of land and adopt the dogs people gave up on. Dogs are awesome, if I ever was able to believe in God again it will be a dog that leads me there.
  9. The course you have selected is…. not available.
  10. All I’ve read is the WSJ article and it def lacks details…
  11. You’d think with that Biden would get more praise and Russia would be begging for a deal. Zelenskyy is smart to take the deal, it’s not a 30 year deal. If Trump had taught anyone anything it’s that the US can change its mind quickly. This deal might only be a 4 year or an 8-12 year deal. But with the right US president who believes Ukraine should be allowed to strengthen as a democracy, this deal can be modified, or if it ends up working for both the US and Ukraine then maybe it’s the beginning of a long relationship securing freedom and paying for the security Ukraine will absolutely need. Whats left is the borders of Ukraine. I have a hard time seeing Trump forcing Russia to give back territory, so is this war almost over? not sure.
  12. not sure it was a sharpie, I think it was a normal piece of shit pen that Paxton stole from another lawyer at the security line.
  13. Never have they had to deal with the US as an adversary. Necessity is the key ingredient here, I’m betting they can.
  14. oh Biden certainly played the part of a proxy war and did so brilliantly in a lot of ways. No nukes fired, Russian stayed engaged and now they are crippled. It's because of Biden that that group right there actually stands a chance to tell the US and Russia to fuck off. and I hope they do.
  15. he's still here. she's a homebuilder - customs and major remodels, she used to build specs too (not anymore).
  16. enduring economic hardship for the benefit of the billionaires is our new patriotic duty.
  17. yeah that's what we are going to do.
  18. How about stealing a pen?

    Getting old sucks

    There’s nothing truly political about capitalism’s impact on our health system. Pharma, insurance, hospital systems, and their impact. When profit is first in an industry that should be about caring for people first there’s going to be a problem. Add everyone wants an easy fix and you’ve got a health system failing us at every turn. fact is doing the right things is a hard road to take - truly eat well - veggie/fruit lead diet, exercise correctly and often, sleep well, destress, have quality relationships you nurture, and I now add cultivate and care for your brain health. That’s almost a full time job, but it’s the only true path to wellness.
  20. I think we are going to get the whole family vax record reviewed and shots updated - kids had all theirs when they were young but I don’t know if others are recommended now.
  21. Men who have repressed attractions to trans women and choose to take their self-loathing out on this board.
  22. I see DEI isn’t dead yet.
  23. Deez nuts!!!
  24. Reason number 1 why Mack can’t be trusted … we finally have the upper hand in a bag game that’s legit and he wants to change it… He burnt the program to the ground once before, now he wants to pull it down before sark wins one or gasp more than one. all Mack cares about is his legacy. from the Fort Worth Star telegram via Apple News: https://apple.news/AL6DnlEpJRGaVwvR1OfXEIA
  25. I watched a recording, holy shitballs, another 20 point loss? Get him outta here…
