  1. I think I can solve the US default economic and market crisis; all I'd have to do is sell my stocks, ETF's, and stonks, close out any options and put it all into cash/money market. Presto/Chango - Wally is 100% out of the market and sitting in cash; and miraculously the default negotiations will find a break thru and have bi-partisan support, the markets will rejoice and I will watch it all from the sideline. So I guess the real question is - y'all trust me to sacrifice for the greater good? Or maybe I should call Neel Kashkari to see what he thinks of my plan. Anyone have his cell #?
  2. So is the market saying these idiots might actually not get a budget/debt limit deal made by the time limit??? are they/we that stupid or do they think it won't really be that bad to default - not trying to CR, but quit fucking the chicken and do something
  3. Tee times/Pairings posted for Ben's BBQ Scottie/Burns/Davis Riley (?) - 8:04 Jordan/Rose/Chris Kirk - 8:15 Morikowa/Im/Finau - 12:55 and Pierceson Coody/MinWooLee/Mike Block 1:28
  4. I was going to wait a while - then I saw this article, final qualifiers are in a few weeks, but 84 have already qualified https://www.usopen.com/2023/articles/33-additional-players-become-exempt-for-2023-u-s--open.html (anti-longcat spoilering)
  5. When will you fuckers learn to behave? note: if you have to ask then it is likely you are not part of the problem; unless you are completely unaware of what goes on AND then you are the problem
  6. I would love to see Mike Block have another good/great week; but I think that is asking a lot. He had plenty of time to prep for the PGA, but now he will have more media duties, much larger expectations and no the same adrenaline rush that kept him juiced for the run at Oak Hill. Everything from last minute travel arrangements, hotel, cars, and packing clothes for Texas heat.
  7. Just wait until you can program your own AI-bot, and my Surly bot can post 24/7, give rep, and send out random PM's. I, personally, am hoping that I can win an NS-5 in the USR drawing We must be getting close - because we all know that science fiction of the past is tomorrows reality (case & point - 20,000 leagues under the sea, Man in the Moon, 1984, etc)
  8. Kinda rooting for Michael Block today, because why not. Only PGA Club professional to make the cut, and he made it at even par, to started the day T8. Heard an interview today that was taped before the event, and he said his goal was to low club pro and to play the weekend, had flight reservation for Friday; it would be great to see him do very well (and finish 2nd to Scottie)
  9. good to know that Uncle Warren is posting on the stonk thread
  10. Title should say Sorry Star dorks My wife and 2 of my grown children are devastated
  11. It took me longer than it should have to realize that I'm playing with options not to buy/sell at the strike price but hopefully to make money - so I sell them into a profit position and don't worry if money there is left on the table. Because more often than I like to remember I have seen all the value in them dry up almost overnight.
  12. You can never go broke taking profits referenced - someone who invests, and doesn't stonkaround
  13. IMO - if you want to stop the oil from going into China it isn't going to be through a use of flattops and air superiority; it could be a joint blockade if we put enough ships at the Straits of Hormuz (or put some boomers with non-nuclear missiles somewhere in the Arabian Sea to just sink/damage a few to send a message. Not that we would have an appetite to be that agressive.
  14. bbc.com (the UK news organization, not the other thing you thought it would be) has an article up about her likely prison home right up there near Collie Station https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65625526
  15. It is morel season up here - lots of folks out trying to get theirs. You can buy them at a market for between $75 - $100 per pound, sometimes even more; so people love to go out and find them. I don't know anyone who sells them, but know lots of people who talk about going out Morel Hunting. It is a rural thing, so very popular in northern Michigan.
  16. not really, it is why god invented twilight - both dawn and dusk. I love to get a couple of holes in, maybe more after sunset; I have a buddy that I will call P Reed and I think he likes it even more since he can just drop a ball anywhere and say he found his drive (it is usually middle of the fairway about 30 yards further than he can hit it)
  17. I am guessing they can play until about 9 pm tonight, but I don't know how long rounds are taking today. I am guessing that they will have a number of groups that will not get done, and therefore push back tee times for tomorrow. Maybe not, since no frost - they could get them started before 6am to get the day going, but makes it a long day for the late/early draw.
  18. Billionaire Sam Zell, real estate mogol passed today - at age 81. Nice way to miss out on the purported coming crash in RE values
  19. Yeah - I've been downsized/right sized/whatever they want to call shitcanned and fuck that shit. Sorry to hear it dude. I've been riding the contract/temp train for over 2 years - trying to get a spot where I can get off the hamster wheel, but the stock & bond markets and my kids/grandkids keep fucking up my plans
  20. Hey - there is no reason to get personal with your shit, and to start doxing out lives to everyone.
  21. LOL - a little frost isn't even really that cold, I get delaying the start, but the weather in upstate NY this week looks great for golf. I think moving the PGA has opened up a lot of courses in Texas, Arizona, Florida, etc where it would be to hot or too much of a chance of daily thunderstorm for the old August slot they had.
  22. good point - I just glom teams into their current conference names, which is just me yelling at clouds
