  1. Update: “In 4 years prices will be down (deflation) and we won’t have a trade imbalance with China.” I mean sure. If our economy and currency collapse yeah I guess.
  2. I can tell the difference between beef bologna and chicken/pork bologna by the texture.
  3. So we’re gonna trade tits and tats to keep the market somewhat level? Cool cool.
  4. Affordable housing too.
  5. Kinda hard to decide if I wanna sell puts or sell calls today.
  6. UPDATE I’m down 15# since Jan 1. Only change was getting rid of calorie-dense food and replacing with only healthy stuff. As discussed upthread, you can’t overeat when you’re eating only healthy. Protein intake is up a bunch. Fruits and veggies too. Probably the first time in my life I’m getting enough fruits and vegetables. I will get some cravings; intense but thankfully short. Drinking easily 2x the black coffee I used to. But on balance it’s a good trade. I don’t think it’s sustainable to drop weight this fast. Goal is to drop another 15# or so and I wanna do it slower. Like 4#/month. To that end I’m cutting cardio (in lieu of more weight training) and adding just a bit of calorie dense food. Like a glass of 100% fruit juice as part of my pre workout. Guys I won’t say it’s easy, but it really is that simple. And once you get some habits and see some results, it does get easier.
  7. There wasn’t. There isn’t.
  8. Looks like the Nikkei closed down 7% and S&P500 futures down a little over 2%? Coulda been worse. I don’t think we’re gonna be ok here.
  9. Wait. These hedge funds go broke with a 20% correction? If so, let them burn.
  10. Sahara. The crack cocaine of rewatchability.
  11. We hit the limit once and finish the day down 6%. Not bad, all considering.
  12. Well there goes my weekend.
  13. Same. Every libertarian is a bit of an anarchist. NGL I kinda wanna see what happens. Not bragging but admitting.
  14. I really remember starting this thread before, but God is my witness, I can’t find it. Mighta been the other board. If you find it, I’ll request a merge and self-ban. Anyway. Here’s mine. Dry Mac and Cheese w/o butter (margarine). Mom never added margarine, just water. My college roommate showed me the right way and wow I the difference. A few years later I was food secure and upgraded to the velveeta shells and cheese. Big livin’ there. Our farmhouse had no AC. When it was especially hot we’d camp on the dining room floor with the ceiling fan cranked. Nowadays they call that, “glamping” or some goddamn thing. When the motor died in our pickup Dad would go the junk yard, choose and worthy donor, and pull the engine. IIRC it was $150 for a SBC, and they’d let you take all the accessories and even the rad. Got to where I could do all that in a small day. Barefoot in the hog barns. This one wasn’t because of poverty but because we were feral children and our parents gave no shits. Pretty sure that skin-to-manure contact revved our immune systems in a way no vax can (no CR.) I can list out easily 20 more. Some I am proud of but still don’t share with friends. They’d think it’s weird.
  15. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/could-tariffs-trigger-stock-market-162800612.html 50/50 we hit a trigger.
  16. Just updated my goals. 1) Have food 2) Have shelter
  17. Parliament: "So...grain prices." Parliament friend who farms: "Still higher than under Biden."
  18. 50/50 the killers are Surly posters.
  19. Futures trading open at 5 pm cst, fwiw.
  20. ^^^I’ll have what he’s having.
  21. Malarkey had a rough go of it after the war. The part where a buncha frat boys (his "brothers" even worse) will make you very ragey.
