I'll see what I can do. Maybe print a pic of them and make it part of my wacky post-mortem scavenger hunt....

The market is finally catching up to what we've all known for a while..

Before we re-did our patio into a proper climate controlled room it was just an enclosed "greenhouse" essentially with windows. We had a normal chest freezer and a normal fridge out there we kept stuff in just fine. This was N. Texas weather, so from around 0-5 degrees at the coldest to around...

Yeah, this was from the CT scan today. (After what my wife went through with her left kidney (odd coincidence) and other medical situations I've had to handle in my life I've become adept at using the viewing software needed to go over CT/MRI scans so I hopped in and measured it. I'm awaiting...

Screw a whole bunch of all of fucking that.... This is the Council approved sequence and protocol. To add some for my personal implementation Call - Immediate, and had better be something pressing enough to warrant immediate conversation. Text - Expect a 2-10 minute response time. (unless...

Well.... My enemy has been better identified, for whatever it is worth... Around an inch by inch and a half nugget of joy loitering around on the top rear of my left kidney. Hasn't changed in size that I can tell over the last month and a half. Will still need a partial nephrectomy...

Interesting juxtaposition...

Holy shit... Jets definitely earned it. But that doesn't discount that their Goal situation is insanely unstable at the moment. Stars over Jets in 7 (6 if Robo/Miro are both back by game 2) Knights over Oilers in 6 Caps over Canes in 7 (Breaks my heart as I'd love to see if Stanky could pull...

See, that makes me want to see it more ;)

I know... RITE?!?

Most importantly... We now know Fake Bednar is stronger than the curse of Tits McGee... And Rantanen...

I knew this was probably it for the Stars when I saw this... Tits McGee is a curse.... On the other hand.. we have this happening again...

Probably also because D&W was really more "MCU Adjacent" than anything. Yes, it's the official "linking" of the cinematic universes on some level, but I believe they still established that it was still a "different timeline" etc... Also, D&W had far more autonamous control over it's...

Haven't yet. Got sidetracked by a medical situation which has me on "no exertion of heavy lifting" for a bit. So getting up on top of the house to mount it is in a holding pattern... heh

They also just announced a new initiative to be able to link crypto wallets and assets to your MC account so you can transact with crypto instead of USD.

I do agree we seem to be entering the "market reacts wrong to news" phase of irrational market behavior.

I think this has some admittedly dark potential....

Short of me making some incredibly lucky windfall stock pick or a lotto ticket purchase I don't think I have enough runway left between now and a coffin to get past the estate tax exemption ;)

Oh Lordie pie... as I think I mentioned I had to be the "adult in the room" when both my grandfather passed in 97 and my grandmother passed in 2011. They adopted me and raised me as they 5th kid essentially. I can't believe how harsh I had to go on 2 of my 3 my uncles, and mother over their...

When a woman tells her husband "GAH! I married someone just like my dad!" men almost always take it as a compliment.. But if a man DARES say "You're just like your mother" he had better have alternative sleeping arrangements for himself pre-made.

In my case, as I mentioned, it's basic accounts, a few crypto wallets, one primary residence. SO very straightforward. Now leaning towards making her the executor, and then in my "if I'm gone" letter for her the first line will be telling her to not be afraid to hire someone to handle shit if...

Also, they have an option for the prep now which isn't a drink, but rather a set of pills you take before. Because the taste of that prep stuff sucked.....

Yeah, my company offers in through a service called ARAG. They will probably be engaged at some point. Thank you sir! I'll probably be dropping you a more private line on this.

So I finally had the minor procedure to clear out the Abscess I had/drained/resurfaced over the last month and a half yesterday. That feels great, but the damn anesthesiologist will forever live in infamy in my head. I don't know what size implements he used to tube my various breathing...

We're seeing the same in my neighborhood, where the pattern has been "someone buys the house, raze it to the ground, build McMansion, sell McMansion". The McMansions are now finishing construction and still have "You could own this" (their version of a for sale sign) out front. Or they're...

I figure I have a certain number of reviewers who seem to align with my tastes/takes. I'll give it opening weekend and see what they say. If I go see Thunderbolts it will be the first Marvel movie I've seen (in any form) since Spiderman: No Way Home.

There is that... and enough are in and around DFW for me to worry a little. But from what I can tell virtually all the DFW FOH contingency are married old farts like me.

This has already been done. And I'm about to refine it further. It boils down to a very small set of accounts. (401k, e-trade, company stock plan (in a separate e-trade account) , a few Crypto wallets, and our bank accounts (all of which she already has access to:emoji_nose: A few insurance policies...

So.... I have to have a surgery soon. Dr assures me it's not a huge deal, but it seems like a huge deal. (Partial nephrectomy to handle a 28mm cystic formation on my left kidney). And it's made me think. I know there are things about this I can control, and things about this I can't control...

Interesting Ranger's stats of the week... Also....

Oh yeah, the standing MSFT strategy is that once you're in with them (on the Azure side, or on the app side with an E5 license) you just get so much inertial sapping that you can't even justify moving off/away from them. They have mastered that sales strategy which is referred to as "Total...

An aging monolith which can't seem to come up with any actual new ideas. But large enough and thanks to Windows/Azure/Office365 entrenched enough it's probably not going anywhere in our lifetimes. Oh, and I'm a big fan of the Surface Pros. Have one from 8 years ago that still just keeps...

At that point you're buying what "real" gold and silver bugs would call "Paper Gold" or "Paper Silver". Because it's not the asset but rather an abstraction of it. But also those same people believe the physical asset is king because it's the one thing that would endure a wholescale financial...

I've run into this same dilema for precious metals. Between being charged a premium over spot to purchase, and only being able to sell for a discount below spot seems like there's a 6% or more delta loss you eat to invest. Am I perceiving that wrong?

But did he go.... Full Retard?
