I don't give tax advice. Apparently I'm doing it wrong. Been self employed for almost 30 years, never audited. Dad in same line of work went self employed the day I was born 50 years ago, never audited.

Having to educate a German on the history of jews. Did I fall into some odd wormhole/timewarp ? Hate to tell you, that's who probably all the scalped cards are going to. That's what the downlow talk is lol....

I'd be banned from FoH boards if I went with the vocabulary I learned in elementary school.

The car they showed in the release looked like it would get stuck in a pothole here. I know it's very early....

Godwin's law is approaching.

Medallions. Companies keep it locked down and they resell for much much more than they would be worth if not for artifical scarcity.

If the first company doesn't call them Johnny cabs it's a fail. Of course it's probably copywrited or whatever.

Didn't they used to release the base version and then some time later release a Ti? I don't understand the Ti first at all.

Col Klink and Sgt. Schultz sing silent night.

Nvidia trying to demolish the entire reviewing industry and influence it to make their shit come out ahead lol. From someone that gets more contact with companies before and after the reviews they do....Also in the cyperpunk thread, how many posted they turned off raytracting to help framerate?

At least in Houston you still have places that have an honest to God coon ass that cooks some of the food.

It went off the rails on the WAN show.

I guess Florida is done and just throwing in the towel, err wait I mean shoe :)

GAS. Ordered new tuning machines and while I was at it ordered a new pickup set so both my telecasters won't have the exact same. Plus a new pickguard and control pots.

I don't how much traffic you would avoid at 6am. A LOT of people in the Houston area in the petro chemical world have a work day of 7-3:30. Right downtown no idea. I lived in Kingwood for a year and it was pretty busy by time to get to work at 7. Downtown might be a more traditional business...

Charley Pride died of complications from covid, age 86. He was still touring until the lockdowns started.

Thanks going to look into them. I never think of looking at StewMac.

LSU took a self imposed ban on bowl play this year lol. Like ummm does it matter when you play like LSU has? Do people think there will be actual bowls? If they pull this off brilliant play and timing.

Looking for a new stuf of 6 inline tuning machines for one of my telecasters. I've upgraded both of the ones I have over time to newer/better fender machines. Looking what else is out there. Like a lot of things availability seems low. Bonus would be black ones but that's not going to happen.

A lot of locations have been cracking down on them and requiring them to act like a hotel rules wise. Room use tax is a large amount of money for a lot of places. They see it as lost money. Won't take long to figure out a way to tax it to death.

The more NASDAQ and tech goes down, the more energy goes the other direction. I fail to see what is driving it at this point other than hopes for a new stimulus, who knows. Investor of Exxon published a letter they wanted an entire new board to go all in on carbon capture. Hmmm. Last major...

Wound up picking up a 1660 super about 2 months ago to hold me over till things settled down for my new build. That worked out pretty for a change. Didn't realize till today that 1660 supers are now hard to find.

NASDAQ futures in the dumps

The zoo was a big deal 20 years ago when I would go for the college world series Marlin Perkins and mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom show did a lot for it I guess. SAC (Strategic air command) museum not far from town. That was about all I saw.

Christmas coming

I am not job hunting in the least. Got too many issues going on right now. Anyway phone rang at 2am the other night and I answered since I was up. Someone looking for a PC/PM for a refinery in a full time maintenance and turnaround capacity. No telling who gave them my resume, but that's mostly...

I'm very old fashioned. I invest across the market in my 401k. For my side money I only invest in things I understand how they plan to actually make money. The dotcom boom and bust mostly passed me by except for the stuff in the funds in my 401k.

The one place I worked that was structured like that the CEO was top of the entire company, a president for each subsiderary with the VP's under the president. So each smaller company had a president. For some workers the difference won't be noticable it will be just be "boss", for those that...

Lobbing shells after Beirut in the 80's.

Not a "who died", but yesterday was the anniversary of the launching of the battleship USS New Jersey in 1942. Watched a quick video on it yesterday of the amount of materials used in making it. 17.5 tons of blueprint paper were used. Enough paint to paint a 5' tall fence 238 miles long. It's...

Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley dead at 73.

Energy sector at the top again. Guess people are really expecting a travel breakout at some point.

Jobs report 1/2 of what was expected.

Energy sector top of the green. Crazy.

Scrap price goes up and down locally depending how bad the meth outbreak is at the time.
