up here (DFW) it's "John votes w/Orange Idiot 99% of the time"...huh?
am invested long-term but u could also chart SLV, essential industrial metal for EV & solar, quite a move, >$40/oz, gold/silver ratio high bcause both have gone up, ratio is considerably above historical avg, silver has the beta but dont see it collapsing unless global recession
yes, PE is in some -401k TDFs whether you want it or not, so i refuse to participate in that option; worse, some pension funds are doing it too, LM made PE LARGEST holding in its main salaried pension fund 2024....brought the total return down to 1.5%! (i assume that was due to forced selling)
exactly why it's "miners" pasta, a handful of simple ingredients meant to fill the belly, it's fantastic, simpler is better (not quite same texture but works dam well w/cheap fideo or egg noodles)
SLV!!
excellent aggression on opponent's short shots, force a passing shot, make a winning volley, textbook tennis
it wasn't really close, liked Pegula's aggression on short shots, force the issue, a passing shot is tough to make, she's got the overall volley game for it even if the serve is meh
u betcha, u will always stand out when u choose 2 work vs not, do anything, AND 4 Social Security (which you will get one day i promise) u NEVER want a 0 salary yr, the benefit formula is 35yr inflation-adjusted mean salary formula, u don't want any 0s in a mean!
bcause ACU is Church of Christ vs TCU being Disciples of Christ, i think of the former as just another TX college w/avg IQ (and wealth) 50%-60% that of TCU
yes, they're stupid fucxing aholes, it's that simple
he was a richard LONG before that but i get ur point
i've seen better looking dogshxt
Biden economy! they're eating the pets! Fed! they're eating the pets! 1000% tariffs on China! they're eating the pets! finance.yahoo.com/news/us-manu...
u hav correctly described IA GOP which is majority in that state
u did well to get work while u were waiting, well done!
u r on to something
i'm a coin collector!
ha! he blocks me because he went on a personal Bsky rant about Orange Idiot getting on a coin, i told him how that's legally impossible (he's not dead yet and it takes act of Congress to create a coin), for whatever reason he just couldn't let it go
NO, that is not the purpose of these tariffs, there is no economic purpose, it is all Trumpian emperor fantasy role play that you and others will not call out as such
all you have to is get control of Congress, posting means nothing
why r u repeating their propaganda?
it proves when u make dorks talk they talk dork
if only there was a set of press people who covered the White House full-time
if gawd had a daughter everyone would worship Jane
almost 40% of XME is steel and 8% Al, kno big tariffs are on both, eventually, this is going to be a BIG problem; i guess watch this chart?
glad u charted XLE, don't think it's driven mostly by miners, GDX/GLD, SLVP/SLV are the same meh charts, but GLD/XLE, SLV/XLE are very similar 2025 breakouts, SLV really good BO YTD; silver is not usually "mined", it's a by-product of mining something else, hard to get a pure silver mining play
the Senate confirmations of gdam fools should have told you the answer - never
and a GREAT Earle Hagen theme www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZiP...
absolutely, u hav 2 kno when 2 punch out!
yes, very bad voters on a number of levels, it can't be fixed except by time?
it's always about protecting wealth
you mean boob job + botox wasn't enuf?
does credulous = stupid?
whenever i watch old matches of McEnroe i am amazed how good his serve was but his toss location, coil, position are are fine WHEN IT MATTERS
doesn't generate good topspin for a variety of reasons, she'll still win a lot of matches but unless the "degrees of freedom" in her serve are reduced she'll go thru bouts of inconsistency; u can actually do things "wrong" if ur consistent about it
POTUS no ability to terminate a Fed Governor
and these days if you were to lecture on it you'd probably get fired or at least talked to
of course you're correct about MAGA phony religiousness; how Protestant Christian sects were blown up over slavery is a fine subject for study, not so much the stupid 19th c. mindset (altho that matters) but more about how it shows most "religion" is really a flavor of dumb human tricks
especially any asian noodle dish, next day, fantastic w/egg (or 2) on top! if u hav "smart" microwave, u can just crack the egg(s) on top, close up box, then reheat 50% pwr 3-8min & the egg(s) are basically poached by steam, works faster w/room temp eggs
that's who pays them, follow the $
yea, compared to what? she was nothingburger
yet Orange Idiot did it because of a swing of Braydens and a small % of the stupid Jill Stein D-types & Jill Stein types are still in that stupid mind-space, this electorate has a significant % of stupids & there is a signifcant % of electorate who will never vote for a woman, women included
kiddos wont figure it out until Obergefell is reversed, that might shock them into giving a shxt but havent seen much of that (i think) bcause of "Brayden" problem uv previously highlighted, when young men r disinterested in women, u have BIG PROBLEM, as i've told DIL, "honey, we cant fix that"
GOP already knos it cant win "by the numbers", it's using Federalism against itself to win elections
CA is definitely different than TX in terms of voters but the TX GOP is completely lawless, completely owns & controls its state Supreme Court and SCOTUS majority is gutting the VRA in serial fashion
screwing the pooch bsky.app/profile/marc...
and Biden is so old
there is no doubt something is wrong w/US males <30, this is a bad demo to hav go sideways
read the entire thread, maybe worth an OS essay but not sure Trumpism is this vs simple reality that there a critical % mass of morons in current US electorate
don't think i agree but interesting concept, is that captured in a particular set of literature worth reading? i'm more in Hofstadter/Mencken line of thinking that most Americans are dumbshxts/morons, it's a feature. it's hard for educated peeps to explain stupid people tricks of dumass Americans.
Musalem's inflation opinion matters because he's on FOMC, he VOTES, we hav unusual Midwestern over-representation on FOMC in '25, the FRB Prezs of Chi/StL/KC on FOMC, all like JPowell, think tariffs are stupid, unforced errors (tennis analogy), bad "policy" for USA bsky.app/profile/carl...
FRED is one of most important FRBs in the system! Musalem was in Itta Bena MS doing a "fireside chat" w/locals, most peeps have no idea the FRB Prez's do this stuff, Powell is big on the FRB doing public outreach
America can hardly wait for this stupid mayoral race to be over
way worse on the F500 side from corporate dumshxts spouting nonsense x.com/DiaperDiplom...
wasnt aware until this Spring but saw some LM retirees eating McD bfast in their SUVs, decompressing, went up to them, said hi bla-bla...THEY'RE DRIVING GRANDKIDS TO SCHOOL bcause parents hav 2 go back 2 office, bcause of shootings if u dont get kids checked in on time u go 2 office & report them
public schools start back up here in N-TX next week, all the moms will be back getting bfast
hav u bought anything there of late? getting pretty $$; wifey wanted Whataburger here in TX (craving), cost ~$30 total, 2 people meals
as in CA there will be a 10-point plan to allow everything that is LEGALLY POSSIBLE, one party is lawless, the other follows the rules and gets run over
puzzled why u care what this yahoo thinks
house was $80K, i made 40K/yr
right, like ur addict/pervert bro-in-law, u can wait a LONG TIME waiting for that fucxing loser to hit rock bottom
not sure why u spend so many words justifying hating TAMU, just come 2 terms with it, a TON of peeps hate 'em
the ONLY reason i can get vino on Sunday is some of the Baptist women demanded & won a reliable source of Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay from their local Albertson's/Kroger/HEB etc
in TX it always comes down to the (baby) fucxing Baptists
amigo, <2wks here in Weatherford, 13Aug
i bought a house in '96 w/7% mortgage but we weren't low growth AND low labor participation, there are only so many buyers in an annual period; sometimes, it doesn't matter, family trust selling parents' home etc, the fam trust will take whatever the market dictates, kids want the $$, NOW
that is a UNIQUE place to watch a football game, i took wifey there on a vacation, she was blown away
i'm w/you, ANY "teachers college" is OK by me, that was true where i grew up in MO, too
it's always dumbshxt America, where the Baptists reign, constant predation
well how about the govt subsidy to TSLA? we're actually PAYING for this
geez, Biden is old
yet we let it go on & on & on, we could stop it TODAY if we had the will
yes, regardless of whatever CA et al choose to do, it will take time bcause D's play by the rules
dunno, RSP has done meh YTD on worse news (and it's summer)
no, ominous when you STRUGGLE to hit 40% total vote w/decent turnout
haven't looked past Harris Co districts but even a loss of 3 Ds would be significant outcome, that was what NC GOP got done for '24 election, kept the House majority
YES, absolutely
u can see that in some MAGA defection up N, but never S, there's no perversion that can't be explained away if he was a "good Baptist", otherwise
nah, you don't see in election results, very close losses
NO, it deserves it, especially Dallas, keep up the sass; there are some redeeming or rather charming/amusing qualities of parts of Foat Wuth (but i live in Wford, Parker Co)
his memoir, he wrote it as he was dying, is incredible, an AMAZING American, he overcame a lot, never thought himself special in any way
you pretty much stated why the black pop % keeps shrinking there, it sucks, comprehensively, yep jobs but D is just a bus stop to something better; i do bicycyle rallies in DFW, 50mi+ rides, you can always tell who's from Dallas, all the asshats sucking wheels or weaving in/out breaking your line
i still think of it as NTSU but yes, interesting town but development changing it, odd county, very sprawled-out, no planning whatsoever, minimal services
no shxt, many weird fucxers there
and none of it will matter
i think this is the kind of BS that must drive you nuts in the classroom bsky.app/profile/ones...
yes, but not tabula rasa, they are just stupid fucxs
EXCLUSIVE - they're incompetent buffoons (who could have known?)
it certainly worked for NC in '24 House election, w/o that gerrymander House D's would be majority
for chrissake, u on the Cows payroll? go pimp for Stars, too, same story, do search/replace (let's fire a GREAT coach, go get a minor league one to replace him, punk the fans)
ur good, am reading the sections of Mark where Jesus of Nazareth responds shrewdly to authorities' insincere questions, insincere because he knows they're actually trying to destroy him
of course they should but this crop is just too fucxing inept/stupid
i blame Shrub but if the people had immunity they wouldn't have fallen for the BS in 1st place; first reaction 2 Shrub was Obama, i can't explain how he happenned any other way, then the reaction to Obama which we are dealing w/now; reactions to reactions to reactions, stupid people tricks
well, his son, but yes, Ellison Sr is also bizarre tending 2 evil but he was known commodity in that regard, always comes back to empowered evil fucxing billionaires, American problem, it seems; could tax them disproportiontatelly for their adverse social impact - HELL NO! tax breaks instead!!!
the D brand is so tarnished, Orange Idiot will deflect to D's & 30%-50% of it will stick
u sure it's not a young Bee Spears? he & Willie, really tight; ur bass player way is mor reliable than most wifeys
49.8% stupid 5Nov2024
good thing election was 5Nov2024 vs now
just like last decade, gonna happen, again, every TX seat added via Reapportionment gets put on GOP side, and then some, the Supremes dont care, they're backing the crooks bsky.app/profile/carl...
