    * necro bump * Austin didn't make the list... https://www.statista.com/chart/6949/the-us-cities-with-the-most-homeless-people/
  2. https://www.kitco.com/news/2023-03-10/Senators-say-regulators-are-de-banking-the-crypto-sector-in-America.html Letter: https://www.hagerty.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Hagerty-Chokepoint-Letter-FINAL.pdf
  3. Right now, I'm guessing Warren Buffet is wondering how many pennies it would cost him for each SVB dollar...
  4. Singapore bought 44+ tons of gold in January. China supposedly bought 24.9 tons in February. BIS reports inceasing amounts of gold swaps too. There seems to be a fair amount of interest in gold amongst central banks right now...
  5. The onion and squash noodle dishes in the elimination challenge looked amazing. The carrot dish didn't look like much to me, but it must have tasted great because the judges apparently really liked it.
  6. I just now posted this in the markets thread: https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/09/silicon-valley-bank-shoots-self-in-foot/
  7. This is what I read this morning: https://techcrunch.com/2023/03/09/silicon-valley-bank-shoots-self-in-foot/
  8. Regarding stuff that wasn't shown to TV audiences (watch episode before reading):
  9. This is potentially huge news with respect to the BRICS and the petrodollar: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/10/arch-rivals-iran-and-saudi-arabia-agree-to-revive-ties-reopen-embassies.html Sunni and Shia going to make nice so they can join the BRICS. Iran has already formally applied. Saudi Arabia has expressed interest and is expected to formally apply later this year. China has said (around a month ago) that they need to resolve their regional differences before they can join: https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/brics-expanding-to-saudi-arabia-indonesia-and-beyond-holds-promise-but-challenges-remain/ar-AA17fozE
  10. Comments about the Riptide team on https://old.reddit.com/r/battlebots/ are savage.
  11. I watched it last night. I was entertained.
  12. Wordle 629 4/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟨⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Missed it (on guess #3) by that much...

  13. SVB is the bank for VC, huh? https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/16/rise-of-zombie-vcs-haunts-tech-investors-as-startup-valuations-plunge.html
  14. Wordle 628 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Solution was obvious after guess #2, but it still took me several minutes to see it.

  15. Riptide should romp Mammoth sucks but can be entertaining Banshee v Emulsifier - meh Copperhead should destroy Kraken unless Kraken fixed their shit and even then they likely take it on the chin Horizon is slow and hits like a wet noodle. Ominous v Shreddit - lol Whiplash v Monsoon should be a good fight. I think Monsoon takes it
  16. Wordle 627 5/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ 🟨🟩🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Too many possibilities. Frustrating. Daily Quordle 408 5️⃣7️⃣ 4️⃣6️⃣ quordle.com 🟨⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  17. Dead horse was brought to their storage depot. The bodies hanging in there didn't look fresh to me.
  18. Well, that could be just about anyone in the world except for Russia. The arbiters of universal truth might need to check their assumptions.
  19. Anyone got a scorecard for media bias over that last year or so? Fox News and CNN are both doing amazing work.
