    I've recently purchased a Whoop body tracker that I like but don't like the results so far. I like how it estimates the strain you're putting your body through each day, and if your rest/sleep is allowing you to fully recover or not. As previously written my sleep sucks lately so I'm in the red for sleep and recovery with Whoop. In talking with long term Whoop users, they tell me how their experience is that when you have a few drinks at night, the Whoop numbers easily identify how your sleep is worse.

    Hit 99k on Coinbase. 😳

    well shoot. I was enjoying the continued dragging of Gaetz through the mud.

    The leaked Venmo payment chart from Gaetz to his underage women. Perhaps there are a few adults in there as well. The main spider web on the right is Gaetz’s friend who pleaded guilty to sex trafficking of a minor and fraud. 11 years in federal prison.

    there is an increasing loud voice from the right that we should all accept that the DOJ opted to not prosecute Gaetz so therefore the information form the ethics panel doesn’t matter. If you hear someone say this, call bs. Something may not rise to the level of a federal prosecution but still be relevant in allowing someone to be the AG. The bar shouldn’t be that only federal crimes disqualify a nominee. there is also a view that Gaetz should be allowed to defend himself because it’s possible the accusations are false. I agree 100%. I have zero problem if he wants to argue against the accusations and he can bring witnesses forward.

    Maybe. When orgs like MicroStrategy are buying billions of dollars worth of btc, prices can quickly jump when supply dries up. Disclaimer, I don’t think they are buying on the retail apps but I have to think there is a relatively quick impact to retail prices. im more of the opinion that we run up to $100k before there is a correction. Perhaps even exactly at 100k because that could trigger large auto sales.

    Talk that DOGE may require more govt workers to come into the office. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/20/politics/doge-remote-work-federal-employees/index.html I don’t personally have an issue with this because some workers or even jobs are not as efficient at home. My opinion. And if some workers decide to quit over it, that’s their choice. Unless you have an employment contract, the employment conditions can be altered by the boss.

    McMahon was in Trump's first go-round as administrator of the small business administration. That was one of those roles where you're a cabinet level official at the discretion of the President but it's not a secretary position and you're not in the succession line. And she resigned in 2019 so she wasn't there to condemn him or resign after Jan 6th. Therefore she's still viewed as loyal and not a surprise to get a promotion for round 2.

    Good call out. I just fell into the pre diabetic level at my last annual. Doc didn’t suggest I do anything about it yet except better overall habits. Focusing on more exercise, cardio and weights. Slowly progressing with that. @South Austin I’m trying to exercise in the mornings only. Going out for a 8pm run is far in my past.

    I’ve pretty much given up alcohol except in terms of socializing with friends 1-2 times per week. Can’t recall the last time I had alcohol at home for no reason. Alcohol destroys my sleep but I allow myself if I get the socializing aspect. Even then I cap it at 3. And if I’m out with friends who don’t drink, I’m absolutely fine copying them. To be clear, I like drinking but don’t like the impact of it. strangely I’ve upped my exercise level recently and now I can barely sleep thru the night. I’ve tried melatonin which only helps me get to sleep faster which was never the problem. Hopefully this is just a short term transition.

    Bump. Feels like I’ve received over $100 in junk mail from the El Paso hunger org since I donated $100 4 years ago. Obvious exaggeration but the biggest pain with charities is their consistency in asking for more.
  12. Nice Guy Eddie
    Looking forward to throwing a $100 at btc at $100k. Just to shake my heads at btc hitting that level.

    I'm unsure whether tax free tips will come to fruition or not. Honesty Trump doesn't have to fulfill any promise since his election days are over. I assume it wouldn't be a standalone change because 1, those rarely happen, and 2, since Dems would love this change, it will also be tied to tax relief of the rich. If it is enacted, I would expect it would be tied to extremely low overall income. Do we really need to allow the vegas bottle service waitress or OF models to get their $200K tax free?

    The UK imports as much as 46% of their food where the US only imports 15% so they can find the cheapest food sources in Europe *info sourced from UK gov website and the FDA for the US. I'm assuming its a non-starter that we push more of our food sourcing to Mexico and central america.

    We can definitely get rid of chemicals or preservatives in our food. Food costs will go up, even if only because that loaf of bread you bought on saturday won't last until next saturday. and if coke is somehow ordered to drop high fructose corn syrup in favor of cane sugar, it will cause an imbalance in the market. corn prices will plummet and sugar will become difficult to find.

    Loving how many reps and senators (all GOP) are coming out saying what a bad pick Gaetz is. Trump may ultimately get Gaetz through but it’s going to cost him. I guess it will be worth to get his cases thrown out and maybe going after some people. two points if we start to hear gop senators say that trump won a mandate and they should trust his picks, Gaetz is in. in a normal year with normal nominations, a scandalous nominee would withdrawal their nomination, or be told to do so. Gaetz is too much of a”let the world burn” person. Even if told by the Trump team, gaetz might make Trump admit he was wrong which Trump can’t.

    Odessa state rep (gop obviously) wants a lot of Texas oil tax money to plug old wells and help with west Texas infrastructure because they’re overburdened supporting the Texas oil industry. https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/18/west-texas-oil-gas-well-clean-up-legislation/ in my new attitude to not help any red county, this rep and Odessa can fukc themselves. This guy sounds like a Marxist who wants the rest of Texas to cover their bills. Not my problem. Land/mineral owners out there decided to drill every 50 yards and now expect us to clean up the mess?

    Another sign that the Trump admin is going to be very very crypto friendly. You can disagree. You can hate Trump but all of the signs are pointing to a big jump in crypto adoption and potential in prices. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/18/trump-media-in-reported-talks-to-buy-crypto-trading-platform-bakkt-sending-shares-soaring.html Headline: Trump Media in reported talks to buy crypto trading platform Bakkt, sending shares soaring SIAP. as far as saylor/microstrategy, watch this hour of him talking last week, and you may be enticed to put your life savings in bitcoin.

    I don't want to see anyone die but if another result of the Ukraine war is NK having a 10% reduction of their military forces, so be it.

    whenever I see a We the People tattoo, I've seen enough that the person virtue signals their faux patriotism. That tat is often accompanied by a possible white supremacist tat as well. Not always but the venn diagram coverage is significant.

    DEI covers a broad area but it's become the boogey man to the Right. Don't get me wrong I've seen a few DEI initiatives in the private sector that I don't fully understand but it's not always about race or LGBT items. My current employer previously had unpaid internships in the summer for college students. The DEI dept is the one who recognized a problem and pushed a change because the unpaid aspect was deemed exclusionary for students who came from lower income background. They needed paid jobs in the summer and the company's unpaid policy encouraged kids with well-off parents to apply for internships. Now we only offer paid internships and have a more economically diverse group of summer interns. Seemed like a good DEI decision to me. The rich interns get the same pay.

    To my knowledge the Aggies never directed any of that anger into the system or people who allowed so many to die and get hurt. Like most I believe that a man should never punch/hit a woman but when she throws a sucker punch at a guy, she's pushing the boundary of that rule. You definitely can't throw the first punch and get upset if one is returned.

    It's possible that some of Trump's picks could hurt the agencies in the long run. Trump's first USPS leader pick (and still leader) has systematically destroyed the USPS. He had a stated mission to slow down mail AND raise costs which he has succeeded in achieving. I will give DeJoy props that he recently worked with Dems to remove ridiculous USPS laws including their handcuff requirement to prefund retiree benefits.

    We're the 8th best team in the SEC? If his formula returns crap, its time to change the formula.

    I call it Enron Field. His momma named him Clay, I'm gonna call him Clay. now if Daikan pays me to call it Daikan, I'm open to offers. I'll be by the phone waiting.
