  1. I thought Friday was pretty good, because my covered calls expired just out of the money. Then came Monday. The dearth of data, along with very high retail investor activity in the market, along with Nvidia reporting this week? I almost want to dump my long positions, but I bought a chunk of good old UVIX to hedge. Got me to nearly break even today, after some tech suckage on my risky account.
  2. I am super confused? What does this have to do with, with incredibly stupid decision making by this FAA? In this instance the only decision made by the FAA was to inflict the maximum possible economic damage to the economy. Nothing more nothing less. Maximum economic damage for the American taxpayer. THe damage was the goal, not avoiding the damage. The good news is the second dumbest policy I have ever seen implemented from an economic perspective. But it would be nice to codify something into law so future incompetence at the highest levels of government can be muted in the future. What a strange world we live in today. When supposed public servants choose the paths of maximum economic damage as the "smart choice" for the American taxpayer.
  3. Didi anyone see the South Carolina player assault the DPS officer in the Tunnel at the A&M game yesterday? Or at least that's exactly how the report would have been written up if it wasn't broadcast on National TV. Assault of a police officer, that would have been the charge had the player shouldered the officer the way the officer shouldered the football player and yelled at him. I guess it was reflexive to be honest. The kid was black... This is especially on point for me. Since I was assaulted by a DPS officer, who was offended that I did not bow a knee in The Ritz bar back in the early 80's on St. Patrick's Day. I never though a punch, because the guy could not fight. In a normal fight I would have walked away having likely knocked him out with my first punch. As his first glacing blow off my head left his head about chech high in front of me. Most fights I have ended were by crushing my opponents in the ribs. This would have been the officers head in this case. But I KNEW that if I threw a pinch both the officer tha assualted me, and the police that might arrest us both, would simply lie repetitively to portect the officer that assaulted ME! I got maced int he face point blank, handcuffed and about to be locked up with the officer, but the crowd proclaimed I did not through a punch. So they cut me loose and took the ooficer that assaulted me away. So I wake up and call down to press charges to get a power crazy DPS guy off the street. But of course the thin blue line opted to let the policie officer criminal go by never taking him to booking. I wish I could say that the police are honest, and true public servants. But my experience having know multiple police officers, is that they feel it is their right to inflict punishment at the time of arrest. And that they routinely lie to protect fellow officers. You see they KNOW who the bad officers are, but they relentlessly protect them. Anyhow the wife has jury duty Monday, and I just told her to tell the truth about my getting assaulted by an off duty DPS officer, and the corruption that followed by the APD arresting officers. This truth gets you dismissed from jury duty most every time. But look at what this officer does, and tell me that he would not have filed assault charges if the situation was reversed?
  4. Never trust an overexcited Cock...
  5. But it would honestly be more fun if he had signed the contract, and it was a bigger no cut contract than Brian Kelly's. You know.... another Aggie tradition. Paying two head coaches a season....
  6. Elko should have signed whatever the fuck extension was in front of him last night... And now... we rely on Cocks not to be stupid when excited...
  7. Let's all make a silent prayer that the field goal clang.... Is the second lead on Sportscenter. Right beyond a shot of the victorious Longhorn upset!
  8. You use good paint!!! no additive to fuck the paint up for some shitty half life of bug protection. And since it's not built, yet. You could always build it and design it not to be attractive to spiders? Or paint it white to mask the webs? I assume you want to do a patio cover with open beams for appearance? If so I can make two suggestions. Just get one of these that will screw onto your extension pole. $13 link to HD You could also buy some sort of extension for shop vac (Hillbilly Engineer says tape and a piece of PVC) if the web remnants still bother you. But my man card says you should stop after the brush and have and adult beverage...
  9. This thread reminds me of when my mother was being interviewed for placement in Memory care. They asked a lot of simple questions to get a gauge about the level of her dementia. One answer she gave still makes me smile, so a tip of my hat to this thread. The geographic question was, "What State are you in? And after a pause, she answered, "The state of confusion." Never a truer answer, she passed about a year ago. and while the memory brought a tear to my eye, it was a good tear. I mainly loved the answer because I could honestly have argued that the answer was correct to some UT prof. Hook'em! Both today and tomorrow!
  10. I think the market is afraid of what the information pipeline that has been turned off, may show that we have both inflation and job losses. Which handcuffs the Fed from further cuts. Could also be, why not profit take now as folks start to panic. Today and Monday are going to be interesting. I really thought we might see a bounce back this AM in Tech, but premarket is going the wrong way for me fairly bigly.
  11. OK that made me laugh.
  12. Well... Today... is well... Friday... You may have accidentally set your clock Waaaaaay too far back? It's Daylight savings time.
  13. I was about to come over here and put those links up. I think The Stranglers were the first band i saw there, and I was going to so many shows there I thought I might as well get a job there. So I was a busboy and rarely bartender. I was going to work the door but I wanted to see the bands, not the upstairs bar. Anyhow the documentary is neat, and I am up to the Sex Pistols show in SA. Saw so many bands up close at Club Foot it spoiled me for life. I especially liked the early part of the documentary, regarding the accordion and it's evolution in Central Texas. As a soccer trainer I used to work with joked to me one time very dryly, "I hate the German People! Because they gave my people that damn accordion!" But pretty good documentary, I hope the folks that made it get into the black and can make some more.
