  1. But meh montrachet. Real finger on the pulse shit here.
  2. Well look at that. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/influenza-vaccine-composition-2025-2026-us-influenza-season Influenza Vaccine Composition for the 2025-2026 U.S. Influenza Season Today, the FDA made recommendations to vaccine manufacturers for the virus strains to be used in influenza (flu) vaccines for the 2025-2026 U.S. flu season following a thorough and comprehensive review of U.S. and global surveillance data. With today’s action, the FDA does not anticipate any impact on timing or availability of vaccines for the American public. The recommendations are similar to the previous year’s strain selection.
  3. We’re gonna do the thing again where the fake liberals cry for the poor military contractors?
  4. We’ll get through this man. We will overcome.
  5. Some of yall needs nets on the ledge like the Chinese iPhone manufacturing plants.
  6. Yeah, you are tracking well DD. Good job.
  7. Your time and energy is probably better invested in trying to grab single mom ass pics.
  8. Well let me know if your wine-related QOL goes south and I can try to help out.
  9. This is what y'all have been reduced to. Total clown shit.
  10. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Requires a certain amount of consumer resiliency certainly. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/ PRESS RELEASE February 24, 2025 Apple will spend more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years Teams and facilities to expand in Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington Plans include a new factory in Texas, doubling the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, a manufacturing academy, and accelerated investments in AI and silicon engineering
  11. Get to the point.
  12. I guess sorry that your iphone that provides you with access to all the information available to humanity instantaneously may cost you $3000 instead of $1500 cause it isn't produced in a factory in china where they have to line the exterior with nets to keep suicidal people from jumping off the roof. Is the shipping from Napa cost prohibitive? I got some extra allocations that I am looking to shed next year if you are interested.
  13. Well sure. I love HEB. But also like buying from the farmers market and local producers. It is ok to have regional variation and flavor. It's actually preferred. Corporate farming and agriculture has been on an amoral and unsustainable trajectory. International corporate farming and agriculture and industry takes it to 11. Some of you liberals have totally the lost the beat cause orange man bad.
  14. This must substantially impact your quality of life.
  15. The economic activity can be more productively deployed elsewhere. Sorry BA and LMT shareholders.
  16. My first reaction as well. Good way to goose insurers to further pull out of the central texas market.
  17. Eat, drink, and buy local.
  18. SPY seems like the new stonk. We've all known that index is not diversified and is too heavy on a few names that have driven the growth. I got an IRA that is 100% is SPY and the last few days have been an absolutely beating. The accounts that are a mix of individuals stocks with low SPY exposure have done ok. In those I have basically been trying to trade out SPY with BRK.
  19. German intelligence has entered the chat. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7vypq31z7o German spy agency 'believed Covid likely started in lab' Germany's foreign intelligence service believed there was a 80-90% chance that coronavirus accidentally leaked from a Chinese lab, German media say. Two German newspapers say they have uncovered details of an assessment carried out by spy agency BND in 2020 but never published. The intelligence service had indications that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been carrying out experiments where viruses are modified to become more transmissible to humans for research, they say. China repeated its denial saying the cause "should be determined by scientists" - and pointed to a World Health Organization investigation which found the lab-leak theory was "extremely unlikely". There is no consensus on the cause of the Covid pandemic. The lab leak hypothesis has been hotly contested by scientists, including many who say there is no definitive evidence to back it up. But the once controversial theory has been gaining ground among some intelligence agencies - and the BND is the latest to entertain the theory. In January, the US CIA said the coronavirus was "more likely" to have leaked from a lab than to have come from animals. According to Die Zeit and Sueddeutscher Zeitung, the BND met in Berlin in 2020 to look into the origin of coronavirus in an operation called Project Saaremaa. It assessed the lab theory as "likely", although it did not have definitive proof. The BND also found indications that several violations of safety regulations had occurred at the lab. The assessment was commissioned by the office of Angela Merkel, Germany's chancellor at the time, but was never publicly known of until now. According to the papers, the findings were shared with the CIA in autumn of last year. In January this year, the CIA said that a "research-related origin" of the pandemic was more likely than a natural origin "based on the available body of reporting" - although it cautioned it had "low confidence" in this determination.
  20. I posted the WSJ article in the tariff thread.
  21. BMW corporate gonna eat the tariffs on cars built in Mexico, at least for a few weeks initially: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/bmw-absorb-tariff-costs-mexican-built-3-series-sedans-wsj-reports-2025-03-12/ Walmart pressuring Chinese suppliers to eat tariff costs, other supplies pressuring suppliers to pull up from China and relocate.

  22. No debating the merits here, but the bill snip that was posted was related to identifying your biological sex, not gender. FTR, in our current society, I am not sure that we should have to tell the government nor our employer either.
  23. That was GenXer, not troph. But good talk.
  24. Wonder what the responses would have been it I used that one.
