    Sea of red in futures tonight. I guess the market is expecting a bad inflation report, not that I think it will be accurate at all.

    Said evidenced by your recent history, no tellling what it dragged that in from. Maybe Hilmar is off of crypto and onto AI, probably since google bought in. I remember when they killed off the in game browser. Said google couldn't make a secure browser for them. That is likely true (for the...

    I used to find shark teeth when I ran my turning plow through the ditch adjacent to the road. I looked it up. I'm 200 miles from the gulf at an elevation of 398ft. Gold sounds interesting. I'd be afraid I'd find some and then get into a mineral rights fight or someone sneaking around lol. I...

    What tickles your pickle

    This place is in a semi rural area, town about 5,000 and 45 minutes or more from Waco, TX. Imagine all the cat ladies that would attract. I've done work in the job area the listing was for. In 35 years I've never known a woman in that job type. Who knows.

    I have two of the next to each other. I had a 32" and didn't care for it. I also work on my game computer at times and I use the left monitor in landscape as normal and turn right one in portrait for list and table type stuff while while drawing on the left.

    About the IPO. In the past I thought the chances of a normal investor getting in on a big one was next to nothing. I don't know with SpaceX. Elon did say they would issue another round of stocks shortly after the IPO.

    I saw a streamer using it. Looked good at the end. Each class had their shit and some randomness to what you got. But was like I'm level 3 ready to take on everything, at once now. Someobody put a lot of work into it with all the class stuff, descriptions and such but nah. Even on hardcore two...

    Yeah I made a dark elf once and took the standard character without changing it. Out of habit I ran shadowheart in dark elf disguise to goblin camp to get the waypoint and experience to lvl 3 just going there. We were twins lol. I tried the Fade! loot mod which has loot for each class that you...

    I like the power poles in the panhandle. You drive along and they are the same height as your truck. Then when it gets to a turn off/road they have a tall one on each side so a vehicle can fit under it. Guess it makes working on them easier.

    I went through 5 days of triple the normal corticosteroid dose given to someone having a MS relapse or whatever. The idea is mass corticosteroids kills off the immune system and then it reboots and straightens itself out. In Europe they do it and as you are recovering they inject stem cells...

    It's funny seeing peopler/news talk about the market being up or down tied to waiting on Iran to decide what it is doing. I'm in the camp even if Iran opened the strait, no fee or they disappeared entirely the impact on the market isnb't going to be that much. Assuming the rest of the world...

    Oil fell around 3%, NVDA around 6%. A day of who fell the least. Even the top refiners as of late that are around 50% YTD are down > 1% today.

    The only thing I look for in a hard hat is if it will collect raina and pour off onto somerthing you are reading or writing on with the bill. No rain catchers. You know guys have been around forever when they still have an aluminum hard hat in their office.

    I don't have a link but I think Elon said they would offer more stock shortly after the IPO. I'll have to dig around for a link. So much of the articles now are 1% about the company and it's financial future and 99% about politics.

    Just like hardhats, that's not what they are deisnged for. Hardhats are mostly to protect your head when you run into something while working or ducking under something and misjudge it. Not having something serious drop on you, droped pens and pencils from a distance above you, not a bolt. If...

    No idea how any of that works. But do inspectors not carry anything to cover their obvious errors? I'm not an engineer at all but I carry E&O insurance when working which is for errors and omissions. Of course you would have to sue to get to that point.

    Yeah. I don't have an actual exit here. Highway here just means two lane 75mph speed limit is all. I live on a one lane road that turns into dirt after my house and it "enters" the highway. Guess I'll look what is down the highway if alerts keep doing that. My parents property and driveway...

    Got paid today. Something I did 34 years ago. No contract. Just a once a year payout/bonus from a company I haven't worked for since 1994. Every year I knew it would be the last one, and yet no idea why. I don't ask, the company is now run by the owners son that I don't even know. Gift horse...

    Severe weather warning. The notice says between mile marke X and Y on a highway. I am in the warning area but I really had no idea what the mile markers were on the highway. I'm not even sure whey they start. The highway runs across the entire state. I know the interstate starts at the state...

    I bet the refiners ETF pulls back before a tech ETF. Maybe not. It's a pure guess at this point and I'm not a market timer but it's an intersting comparison at this point. Rapidly moves into a political talk but if the strait opened 100% tomorrow I have no idea how long it would take to work...

    Would kind of fall into the deal when I hear customers of mine say they know people that charge less. Well I know people that pay more. IE that lawyer should look for another place to work, regadless of what may or may not be the right way to go with that issue.

    CRAK etf is holding out. I bought a very little before the Iran deal started, mostly because I wanted a little exposure to refineres, especially Valero with them leaving CA. looked earlier up 34% YTD, it's not AI booming however. Bonus is I get to say crak is doing well if someone is dumb...
