I think essentially the Fed has realized the markets are so deperate for a reason to go up that they know "Oh, we need to goose stocks for a few days/a week? Say no more fam, get MC Powell up there for a vague statement about reducing rates we can mostly retract a few days later without...

I used these this year and it's the way to go IMHO. Easy to snap up, quick deployment leads to happy me.... And now my house looks like someone pulled a clown car into the front yard and set off an IED under it.

Strangest thing it's thrown at me this week.... Just who exactly is the target audience for this flag?!?!?

Bordeaux is highly enthusiastic about all this holiday decor... Bean is far less impressed....

I still want a Raising Arizona sequel.....

There's an established system at play here, he's just maximizing his throughput... Ben Affleck and Matt Damon ran through the system in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back but I can't find the clip right now. ;) I also agree , Cage is a... ...National Treasure.

This would have interesting effects IMHO if it had any chance of getting passed...

Oh we're just talking about stuff that is rare NOW.... The year is 1985... And before I get allowed to use a terminal to write code for programs on the HP3000 minicomputer at school I must first earn the right to use a keyboard by manually punching up and entering my first assignment with...

This one is boggling my mind a tiny bit as we know Elon really doesn't like Bezos and Amazon. Why would they partner to help them launch a competitor to Starlink? When Starlink is close to the only viable game in town for what they provide....

Just finished season one and it was mighty fine... Interesting that I read a review where they called out how the show is distinctly more action/fighting than the books. Which makes sense as books as a medium lean more towards thinking and process, TV leans more to visceral action, and you...

Southpark already covered all this....

It's great, it goes into "points" which you can redeem for various gift cards (at 1 point = $.01) , or apply to balance (i.e. cash back), or spend at amazon (also 1pt = $.01). 5% at Amazon (includes at Whole Foods if you also have a Prime membership) 2% at Restaurants and Gas Stations. 1%...

Another thing to realize about rates right now. It's inevitable that the economy will necessitate the fed dropping rates to the floor again at some point, probably in the next couple years. So even if you have a steep payment getting into the house it's a matter of waiting to refi when they...

Well.. she IS the Megan Fox of Ohio, right? Unrelated :

If the NFT's are on a reasonably secured chain then they are unique generated (i.e. the "Non-fungible" part). Meaning that's what protects you from item dupes. It requires a cryptographic process to create the NTF token. Which is then completely trackable since it's on a blockchain. You could...

Since it's not Thanksgiving yet... we should start an Xmas thread...

Or people in their 50's and 60's will take out 30 year notes and figure "F them kids and inheriting anything" and go for the lowest payment fully intending the bank to own the house as soon as they die. Accelerating the path to banks owning all housing and "generational wealth" just being some...

So I had my Sunday morning giggle today... Get an email from my mortgage company. They do a quarterly review thing where they show you your estimated home value and then pitch various refi options and other stuff in there. You can tell it's automated because there's stuff in it which nobody...

So I still haven't pulled the trigger on a smoker yet. Waiting to see if black Friday holds any surprises, but currently leaning towards this : https://www.lowes.com/pd/Pit-Boss/5013683729 I had a couple deals hit at work so I have some "Treat Yo Self" money to go through.... As I think was...

In today's suggestion list to review.. Apparently Christmas is really in full swing already :

The "double beat but lowering forward looking guidance" is a common thread for tech stocks right now. Also the cost of money is causing billings totals to sag and lag, while revenue isn't falling. Which is kinda odd. Between cost of money and inflation customers are becoming more weary of...

At the high level I am hearing the reasoning this actually makes sense. Metaphysical frozen spikes shooting up through things but not people because they're there to inspire fear in the people which leads to the "fear based freezing to death" which actually kills them. I can see a logic there...

Make the dealership fix the fuckup of course... But I had to do a 2 day work trip to Houston, so it sat in my garage (as it was in theory drivable, but missing some panels on the underbody) in case @Mrs. Haus had to leave the house when I was in Houston. (picked it in her fucked up state up on...

If you include the token as the in-game currency on the chain the items are on it would effectively give cryptographic protection from gold and item duping for starters. If you use a known existing cryptocurrency (probably with a low gas rate, like $matic or somesuch) then you also have...

Saw an interesting theory... Secret Invasion was really the plot for Captain Marvel 2, but they thought it would have a better chance without her so re-wrote it to be a Nick Fury series.

This has been part of my angle on the real usability of NFTs. In game items, documents which need to be digitally authenticated, etc. It would be something akin to WoW where all items rare or higher are NFTs. You wouldn't see any of this in-game. Other than that when you generated your...

Here's a question. As someone who didn't watch season one because I heard in advance what a load of nonsensical grrrl boss they were throwing in. Would I be able to watch/enjoy season 2? As it sounds like it was much better.

I should add the other two in the collection from the founding fathers..

I have a set of these, and utterly love them for when tinkering on things. You can literally buy a kit with all the metal parts and a list of what to cut to what size to build a shed. You've probably spent more time trying to find someone to do it for you than it would have taken you by now....

Well, the source material (Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol run) had a lot of queer aspects in it. They played a bit of it heavier in the adaptation, but not over the top and not making any really massive changes outside of I think they created the fact that Larry Trainor was gay, I don't recall...

I've lost multiple pets in the last few years. And we've realized that it's worth it to have it done (assuming you can plan on when) at home. I just think about if I'd rather go in a weird place I didn't like around doctors I didn't like, or go to sleep at home surrounded by my things, my...

Not actually.... I have a real world case in point. My in-laws (Boomers in the 65-75 age range) just decided to downsize, and against my suggestion/coaching they decided to do it by just selling their house and moving into an apartment. They got a pretty penny for the house, but are now...
