  1. The downside is pretty minimal. I'm not an oil futures guy but I stayed at one of them fancy hotels recently - Oil prices had been going down prior to the election and I assume that we were drawing down our strategic reserves. With the election over and with winter coming, I would expect oil prices to increase in the coming months. Plus, the possibility of an expansion of the war in the middle east would increase prices as well. This in turn should slow down the economy and decrease the likelihood of inflation of goods (excluding oil and gas and products made with oil and gas).
  2. Hold on, now. Cam Williams at left tackle next year? Who will be our backup QB?
  3. Hey, you are making it tough for me to give HH a hard time.
  4. If the tweet is accurate, it sounds like the cancer is recurrent and they didn't remove all of the known tumors.
  5. I wouldn't be too sure about that. Ukraine is already at a population disadvantage. Modern weapons and the ability to use them inside Russia will be needed to overcome the disadvantage. And as we all know, politics in the US and parts of Europe are not in Ukraine's favor.
  6. I have a hard time believing this comes from Biden. It seems to me that Blinken makes these decisions.
  7. So maybe you have a recommendation: Here is the house now, And here is what AI did - some of it makes sense and some of it doesn't (like the garage change and the 3rd floor balcony change. The house lacks a true front entrance and the location of the door is terrible as it limits the size of the kitchen and brings you in right between the kitchen and the breakfast table. The bottom floor is a very nice apartment which is perfect as is. The AI location may work but it is a narrow breezeway between the garage and the house. The current house lacks a true master bedroom but I am hoping, I can fix that issue without having to build out as that could get expensive. The home also needs a mudroom and laundry room and most importantly, lacks a great room and formal dining and formal entrance. I think I will work on the interior this coming year and worry about the addition the following year. I want to have a plan though so it all comes together in the end. So my question is how to connect the addition to the main home and if a narrow entryway makes sense in the AI or another option would be better? The options to connect the two structures would be a connector hallway between the two structures or have the structures connected directly. As for the addition, I was thinking timber frame with vaulted ceilings with views out to the lake. The timber frame at 30x24 would have a wetbar, a formal dining area and a great room. And then the final question, is how to go about doing this? Start with an architect? Can someone do some quick sketches to give me an idea? Here is a direct connection as an example - The problem would be a lack of large windows to maximize the views out to the lake.
  8. Last I heard, the world is ending in like 5 years.
  9. Ha, the dad of a close friend of mine growing up use to be an ophthalmologist but is 90 and retired about 25 years ago. When my son's girlfriend had an issue with her eye, I gave him a call because I still remembered his home phone number. And he diagnosed it correctly over the phone.
  10. But, if he turned them in to the state board, I would think that would protect him some from retaliation, no?
  11. Now what if what he was asked to do goes against the state board of pharmacy?
  12. It was no doubt but they also didn't call one on Barron on a previous series.
  13. Ewers is a worse runner than Case McCoy
  14. Whatever - He is welcome in Houston (hopefully, unretired).
  15. Sometimes I just don't get nostalgia. Just send the thing to goodwill and get a new one.
  16. No, not done for the year. I am sure we will hear his name called about once per series this weekend.
  17. That's actually a good question. You can buy 100mg from Sigma for $3000, but I don't think it would be made for human use. So in some country there must be a manufacturing plant making it for the pharmaceutical company, Novo Nordisk but also selling it to others. Interestingly, the Chinese patent was scheduled to expire in 2026, but a court ruled in 2022 that all patents on semaglutide were invalid. So, the bottom line is that semaglutide is probably being manufactured in China and then distributed via grey market channels across the world. Although, it could be made in bathtubs, it probably isn't because it is easy enough to get it from some manufacturer in China.
