You can see it in his eyes as he’s about to say it… both the inevitable use on the Daily Show and the desire to strangle his speechwriter.

I believe in God Emperor he touched on the book mentality when Leto 2 talked with some Bene Jesserit about how machines made you treat people like machines, and that was the concept that was overthrown.

Also only good for ground travel. But you have to go through the same process as a passport, so they’re usually an add on to the passport.

More of a slow collapse than a crash. Ever seen a dilapidated house on a country road, parts of the roof caving in, paint chipped, vines covering the yard? We’re working on being that house by slowly letting social and physical infrastructure in the US collapse over time.

20 is nice in freshly washed sheets.

I had a friend go through this; first of all, sorry that happened to you. My understanding is that if you take your anti-virals you’ll have a pretty normal life. The concept of sex is dicey, I understand when you’re not flaring up the risk is small, but it’s still there. They have a normal relationship but avoid sex in flare ups. Be sure to talk to your partners in advance!

Crypto is shit beta now, you trade it like that. The liquidity pool is too small to handle large entry/exit.

Although I agree this is like going to vegas for him.

I never want to look like something a cop will pay attention to. Better high performance in a boring sedan shell.

In the market we call her “Nance in Advance.”

The most important part of it is “is there anything you’d like to admit, before we take the test?”

I believe that was a stretch goal… the common story has always been that they wanted to take over redistricting after the census, which they really did knock out of the park, catching dems flat-footed.

I’d argue security through obscurity was gone by 2000, for anything that can be pinged.

Trading stops at the end of day, for accounting purpose. Some traders can still access over-the-counter trades but they are not required to be reported (if I remember correctly) until sometime in the morning of the market they’re made in. You will see some price movement when London and the DAX open.

Watch futures for a good price estimate. ES for SPY and NQ for Nasdaq.

This guy does defense economics but he did a good piece on the tariffs: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZ1lcw2bVU

I have two smaller businesses, and I’ve both laid off due to expected decrease in business and bought supplies ahead due to expected shortages.

You’re good putting together that you wouldn’t build a factory right now because uncertainty doesn’t let you predict returns. Not only can you not predict the next president and their tariff policy, I wouldn’t say you can predict trump’s actions tomorrow. I heard an interview John Bolton did today, and he said something along the lines that “trump doesn’t think, he reacts.” Tariffs could be zero or 500% next month or next year or tomorrow. The safe move is to wait and see - and while everyone waits and sees, only small-scale production will start, definitely not enough to sustain demand.

Honestly, if I had the money to build a factory right now, I’d park it and wait to buy one from a company that fails in all this. It would save so much money.

If you dried the cheese they might take it. Maybe if you wrapped it in cello tape. Then it would be a lot like mailing a coconut.

Assuming I’m snapped back to the same part of the earth, climate-wise that’s ideal in the US PNW coming out of spring. Plenty of berries and food to forage, and I’ll probably impress the natives with my watch and well made clothes. I can probably get the native tribes to metals, and gain acceptance with my magic hand tool that will briefly shine light at night for a few weeks. I don’t know offhand where copper would be, but I know gold is in the streams, and I know how to placer mine, so I can get some electricity going with that and magnetized rocks from lava flows.

I think first contact would be the key.

Investopedia is a great resource for things like this: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/deathcross.asp

Congratulations, you’re one of today’s lucky “feels like I’m 10,000.”

Something that will really perk up my attention is if people start shooting at his security. That will indicate anger is so ripe that even protecting him makes you a target.
