On the north end of SA now along the I-35 corridor near Schertz and stuff there is heavy logistics of stuff coming in from Mexico and heading up I-35. Lot of warehouses and associated offices for large companies like Catepillar and such. Not all coming in from Mexico but a lot being shipped...

The last steel fab shop I worked for sold all their drop (scrap) sonce a year and used the money to pay for a crawfish boil for the guys in the shop. You go from some alloys that cost $55/pound when new to a crawfish boil for 35 guys.

$6,000 worth of fireworks, so 30 seconds worth? Just kidding.

Just once when someone says someting is illegal the person they are saying it to says "What law?"

They have a pond full of water, but it's not as cool as the water coming out of the faucet from the well.

I'm old school. I still listen to music at the house (not the truck obviosly) on reel to reel through a 70s receiver. I can rebuild and tune a carb much much easier than coming up with a tune on digital fuel injection myself (not just somoene elses tune) but I really don't see the gotta have...

I have a fence around the house and a large gate at the driveway, though the property is low fenced with barbed wire. The fence around the house is because cows will rub on anything, including the faucet and turn on some cool water to dirnk.

Didn't meta say some time ago they were making fake people for facebook to like peoples shit and up interaction and such. May be all AI now, but someone had to come up with that to begin with.

They did say a large number of games on steam would do much more than 1080. Makes sense, a lot of games on steam are very very old.

Gathering data and marketing/selling said data.

Make a Gyro?

I bought one of these in college and used the hell out of it and kept after Ifinished. Handy as hell when you are cooking for one. I got my money out of it considering I probably paid $5. My pre build a gigant grille for customers days.

Looks up the ticker on grip....

Thanks, that has been a while ago.

I couldn't remember how many but I knew it was a lot in a fold out case/holder.

VLO up 5% for the day

For a second thought you had a giant radioactive act on the bottom left.

You think with the money Nvidia is making on AI now they just put the "C" team or even less on GPUs now?

Confuse people for the fun of it. Pick a unit of measure most people have no idea. Just to see if people are paying attention I tell them it's X rods or Varas. I could say chains but it's actually still used in some professions. My property survery was done in varas orignally.

I have a Dolmar chain saw which at one time was Sachs Dolmar. But now they've been bought out by someone else. It's an arborist saw which has a magnesium engine block making it a little lighter but same saw basically. I bought it mainly cause the closest saw shop sold a lot of them. Then they...

My useless info on how much power comes out of one. The '64 earthquake in Anchorage AK was huge, a 9.2 but when it hit it knocked boats off the Dow Chemical dock on the MS river halfway between Baton Rouge and New Orleans,. I know that's a massive quake but that's a long way away.

They could havd been walking around outside before it started., it didn't go back that far. But all of them got to where they could put their hands on the ground and keep them there.

Congrats now you have seen miles and miles of TX. My part of TX (21 counties) is all timber/trees and lakes, so it's pretty varied also have swamps in the southeast. I never spent much time in DFW other than going through it. I found the traffic in SA much better than Houston, and that was...

That looks pretty bad. I remember there was a big earthquake in Central America or South America and they were digging out people who were still alive for quite a while. That was decades ago. May have been Mexico, been a long time but seems like they were getting people out weeks later.

I'm of the non scientific opinion the area you were born in won't bother your weather wise as much as stuff does in other parts of the country. I am from where it's hot and very humid and the humidity doesn't bother me at all. When I used to go to Phoenix for work the heat didn't bother me at...

I noticed in the videos of the earthquake in the Philippines a while back all those people ran outside immediately and squated down and touched the ground. I guess they were used to it. They weren't running around screaming and little chance of falling over.

Remember in town to drive the TX way. 35 years ago TxDOT had an ad campaign that it didn't matter how fast someone was going your job was to move into the slow lane and let them pass even if they are going way over the limit. You are not a cop. I miss those ads on TV and billboards. Just...

When you get to SA imagine driving from Phoenix to SA in a Uhaul truck. The president of the company I worked for in SA weas in Phoenixc at their office there during 9/11 and the only vehicle he could get back was a Uhaul. Just think, SA is not even quite half way across TX going east to west...

Micron down 9%. How much before prices fall? Near 100%?

40 acres with mineral rights. Tinned trees and made momney on that. Cleand ups the property and sold it to come out slightly ahead. Kept mineral rights. Two fracking booms and a lithium buy later ranks pretty high in my best all time. Jobber construction calculator. Yeah the same is available...

40 yeaar olds without the ability to build a pc and still live at home.

Ask someone who considers themself a semi pro electrician about 3 phase. Everyone puts their two cents in including the guy at home depot.

I have a pretty dark site. I think (not sure) a lot of these peole have invested very large sums into their rig with the scope, mount, camera and such and to them they want to see what it can do and don't live in the right spot for certain things. I know there's a huge industry of going...

Just ship your telescope to these people and pay a monthly fee for them to set it up and store it at a dark site that you have access remotely for imaging.

I thought I read somewhere the two of them were flying to an airshow. I flew from MS to MN and back on a private jet earlier this year, jet did not belong to me. Good ot know if we crashed and I died it was a rich persons problem. Not that I really would have cared.
