Jumped out again yesterday, see where it goes before I get back in again.

Sounds like they work for shitty bosses. Itās pretty standard in my industry and time off numbers for the others we meet with are up, not down. We have guidelines on no more than 10 consecutive days without high level approval, anything over 30 days total requiring approval, etc. Get your work done and take off. Donāt sit in the office just so you can get a check at year end.

We went unlimited 3 years ago and paid out 100% of balances. People use more time now than they did before, so the scam part is going to be business specific. We had a lot of people that just didnāt charge PTO out because they wanted the accrual and the payouts once they capped. We were sitting on an almost $1M liability that was continuing to grow annually, so it was a good solution to cap our liability and push people to take the days off by not incentivizing them not to take it.

Better get cash in hand before the reality of $5 a gallon gas sets in. Of course with the ā22 allocation of new boats pretty well sold, who knows whatās going to happen.

There are a number of Russian ETFās. The question was why RSX was the one to look at over some of the others that may be trading under estimated valuations rather than over.
-
Agreed, but the estimates on valuations that are out there show RSX to be trading at a 2X+ multiple of estimated values while others are trading at 40%.
-
Of the Russian ETFās, isnāt RSX about the only one that is trading at a multiple of itās underlying value? Most all of the others seem to be trading at a discount to their underlying values at this time.

Do you think the US military should protect Ukraine?
Brew replied to DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt's topic in Daily Texan
People see the will of the people there standing up against the aggressor which changes sentiment. For so long weāve been involved in regime change in places that may or may not want it, that defending the proverbial āDavidā sounds like a good idea at the moment. Now that everyone has seen that Ukraine isnāt just going to roll over, weāll probably start hearing more of a call to up our level of help. Part of me would hate to ever see boots on the ground there, the other part of me says itās time to wreck shop on Putin even though it is a terribly bad idea. -
I move closer and closer to being a vegetarian every day. At this point Iāll still eat chicken and pork from pasture raised producers, but thatās about it. The corporate farming methodology has really turned me off meat, especially being in the middle of Tyson chicken country and seeing the trucks on the road often. Farming octopi seems like a strange concept given what we know about how they interact with the world. We do a good job of bulldozing our way through everything though.

Not located in TX, here and other states I have properties in that is the way it works.
-
Pretty sure thatās standard isnāt it? Locally, you can buy properties for the tax debt and if the debtor doesnāt pay it within 12 months you own it.
-
As others have said, proud of the man your son has become. There is time to be the worried parent, but that shouldnāt take away from some sense of pride as to his reasoning.
-
With Russia not actually declaring war or publicly acknowledging they are attacking cities, is there a point where Putin pulls back to the eastern territories and claims he stopped the genocide and won? It seems that or leveling everything are the only options. You canāt win a war with someone that doesnāt want you there just by marching some troops into a city. He has to have figured out by now his force isnāt a liberating force to the Ukrainians.

Got another notice on the truck earlier tonight, Iām into mid April now.
-
We ended up going with a 90 with replacement Blackhawks. Should take delivery in a couple of weeks hopefully. It took all of about a day to get a contract on the Baron.

I change all my trailer tires out every 2-3 seasons and that partially depends on how long they sit. I put my boats on jack stands for the winter, but if they sit most of the summer Iāll change them out quicker. If I buy a used trailer, they get changed immediately. Iāve dealt with too many trailer tire issues. Spare is always full size and changed on same rotation. Those things suck too and have caused me too many problems. troph, awesome road side hospitality. Makes you remember there are still good people out there especially when you get a little further out from city centers.
-
I went Black Diamond because I want the spray out interior for the beach. I wanted soft top only but they make you order the hard top with the 2 door. Limited options also which should help. Flip side is Iām not sure how popular that model is which may keep me further out. Dealer here has not had another one.
-
I have a 2 door on order. The dealer thinks it may come early summer because they are running better timelines on it. He said I could probably get it now if they would let you order softop only which is what I want, but you canāt in a 2 door.
-
No, I prefer Line-x. The bed liner in my F150 looks like crap and so never had that issue with the LineX product.
-
Crazy part is they are producing fleet vehicles like there is no tomorrow. One of my Ford dealers had a record year last year and expects it to be more this year selling vehicles to the state. Limited electronics in those help them get produced Iām sure. Seems like a better plan would be to wait until they are ready to start production and then send the build notices.
-
In 2 weeks they have sent 5 build notice date changes, Iām into April now for expected production date. Seems kind of odd that they would send you a schedule notice unless it is somewhat locked in. Seems even more odd that in 2 weeks time it has dropped 5 weeks production but did it one week at a time. Is what it is, weāll see how much further it keeps going.
-
Be curious to see if it holds to that timeframe. My F250 is steadily sliding backwards. Every few days I get a notification that production has been pushed back a week on it, so Iām already almost a month later than when the first notification came. Still waiting on the Bronco production notice. Ordered a 2 door, so dealer thinks it should be this spring sometime.

Copper always felt more like a locals mountain to me. In the bars after hours, it always seems to be people that live around there and drive in to ski for the day. People flying in either stop at Breck or continue on to Vail because of the amenities. When we stayed in Copper, we always just drove over to Frisco a couple of times to eat, because it is pretty limited on the mountain. When they converted the main lot at the base area to a $50 a day reserved lot, it made it much easier to drive in and out and not have to park out at the far off lots and bus in. You can also just take the local bus out of Frisco, but Iāll pay the $50 and park close.

Guess you were fine with the one that took the TD off the board at the end or just the other ones?

Interesting read, I havenāt thought anything about it really. People compete for other countries all the time. She is basically 50/50 and is probably way more familiar with China than a lot of those that jump around based on her parentās heritage and how she was raised. Itās a nonstory other than the fact sheās actually good at what she does. As noted above, having the Olympics in China is already a problem with what they have going on. A 15 year old choosing to compete for her motherās country several years ago is what it is. The hockey issue is a much more significant issue in my opinion because there is no link back to China. Itās a bunch of Americans and Canadians that are strictly playing for China to get paid with no Chinese heritage which is completely counter to what the games are. They suck, so no one cares. What happens when they are actually a good team in 2026 or 2030?
