  1. Sure, that. But even so, he has already effectively repealed the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/pausing-foreign-corrupt-practices-act-enforcement-to-further-american-economic-and-national-security/
  2. I've always been partial to this one.
  3. I don't have any knowledge of GPS programmable perimeters. I think you're kidding with what the post above infers but for others, if not you, I want to encourage to have reasonable, and humane, expectations about training, effectiveness, and how it's supposed to work. There are two categories of eCollar- I use both. They are both good training aids but have slightly different purposes. However, the goal in both is to not have to zap. 1) Active monitoring (you have the remote and utilize the collar to reinforce verbal commands). This is like an invisible leash. It took about two weeks until the vibrate-only feature and command were enough, and another month until the command itself was reliable. 2) Passive Monitoring (you set a perimeter that the dog learns- though training not pain- not to cross). This is your invisible fence, and what you appear to be asking about. It took two weeks of consistent daily training for each of my dogs on our electric fence (buried line). Assuming you have the ability to physically flag the boundaries at the lake and work daily on it up to Memorial, I don't think the GPS version would be any different. Please don't just set a parameter and leave it to the ZAP to tell them they've gone too far. It will only terrorize and confuse your dog.
  4. We just stocked up on batteries, paper towels, and toilet paper, but who knows.
  5. I'm not giving up yet, but I'm getting serious "Silo" Season 2 vibes here, in that we're introduced to and force fed a bunch of new characters that are just flat out non-compelling- either because they're poorly written, or played by shitty, miscast actors. Obviously, in both Silo and (and especially) Last of Us, the source material is pretty rigid. However, there are creative and casting decisions that I think are going to hurt them this season. And all that's to say nothing about Bella, who I actually still like in her role, though it remains to be seen (for me at least), whether she can evolve the character in season 2.

  7. Oldie but goodie. I thought the one in 2018 was better though: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-was-only-joking-about-japanese-bowling-ball-test-cars-n857111 The truth is, regulatory hurdles are actually real (the bowling ball test is not). The article cites an example of one with Japan and how the disparity was addressed under the Obama administration (by, you know, talking). One problem though....
  8. It just occurred to me, that observing the market over the past week is a lot like back during and after Covid when I dabbled with the OTC for fun. Random, volatile as hell, and shady as all get out.
  9. I think it's going to slide more here at the end. There was some money made today, but who wants to hold overnight? Too much can happen.
  10. Aaaand the EU just responded with 25% tariffs.
  11. S&P actually has some green to it now. Might end up being a fairly neutral day.
  12. Nevermind, yes I will. But only because you gave into my demands.
  13. I'm all cash, baby. But I'm willing to put it aside to hear your financial analysis of the situation (because you haven't actually given any yet). Nevermind, no I won't.
  14. Yeah, I think the unpredictability of it all is the thing. Usually when something really bad happens it can't be undone, and there's a formula that follows. This, at least partially, can be undone so there's a variable in the calculus that's not usually there.
  15. The market further collapsed today (but don't mention why). The market at one point surged (but don't mention the report that Trump was considering a 90 day pause). The market then tanked again (but don't mention the White House calling the report fake news). This thread is much, much more reserved than the thread In Cloak (that's why I'm here), but come on. We don't have to pretend it's not a the thing.
  16. This is a situation that was completely and wholly driven by a political catalyst from the President of The United States. Why, and honestly how, can it be discussed without inclusion or animus related to the cause? Jesus, it'd be like discussing someone's chlamydia without including the $20 sexual encounter with the meth-head prostitute on the corner. I mean, it could be done, I suppose. But why if only for the sake of the prostitute and her prostitute friends.
  17. He honestly believes that he's the world's CEO, and that he's reigning in Division heads.
  18. God I'd love to play poker against him.
  19. I mean, I'm all cash right now.
  20. Well the Nikkei is about to- it triggers at -10 and is hovering right around there.
  21. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14574029/hedge-funds-margin-calls-donald-trump-tariffs.html
  22. Asian markets are predictably tanking.
  23. I obviously haven't checked his math, but if this is true...
  24. He's backtracked enough times now, that much of the market simply doesn't believe him.
