    As I told y’all earlier, you don’t know what you are doing it out there, it ends with a sunk boat. How about you get all the people out of the bow and speed up to get the bow up, dumb asses. That boat was going the same direction as the parade. I know ocean racer doesn’t believe us, but there were big waves out there from 60ft boats plowing. Rougher than I’ve seen it in the Gulf numerous times and in the Caribbean. Here’s the after pix of that boat, taken by me. cfcc8feccb923ba8bccbc5528d9454d7.jpg

    Is that lady wearing bottoms?

    And the crazy part is that a series of 1-2 year stays doesn't even raise an eyebrow of recruiters or hiring managers. I actually had a recruiter for a tech company in California tell me that he gets weirded out if someone has been with their company for more than five years. 

    Yeah, Idk how it is in other sales worlds, but it's volatile as fuck in software.  Yes, there's definitely the 60 year old guy with the rolodex  OTE'ing 500k, but those are few and far between.  You have to move to get raises in this world, hence me moving three times in 5 years.   Product can get stale, quotas get raised, etc.  That's what I get for jacking around at school I guess.

     

    What's even crazier about the one year stays is there's probably some 6 month stints not included in there.

    They are crushing it right now... I’ll likely buy some at IPO.

    SMH at the sales reps that left my company to go work there while I stuck around.

    Software is such a flighty industry.  I see people with multiple consecutive tenures of one year or less, actually, I've moved 3 times in 5 years.  But each time, the offer was so overwhelming, I had to.

     

    Trick is to find that rocket ship (like Snowflake) and milk it.  Software is often a commodity unfortunately.  Buddy works at Zoom and he tells me every rep is over 200%.  Of course, he tends to exaggerate, so IDK.

    NKLA up over 20% today, with the announcement that GM agreed to help NKLA engineer & build the pickup truck & GM gets 11% of NKLA

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/general-motors-takes-stake-in-electric-vehicle-company-nikola-11599568421?mod=hp_lead_pos2

      Reveal hidden contents

    General Motors Co. GM +4.37% agreed to help Nikola Corp. NKLA +20.70% engineer and build its electric pickup truck in exchange for an 11% stake, the latest tie-up between a traditional auto maker and a vehicle upstart.

    Shares of both stocks surged on the news in premarket trading. Nikola jumped 29%, while GM added 6%.

    Under the deal, General Motors will engineer, validate and manufacture the electric battery and fuel cells for Nikola’s Badger passenger truck. In exchange for the services, Nikola will give GM $2 billion in new stock and the right to nominate one director.

    Nikola had said it planned to partner with an established auto maker to build the Badger, which will be powered by both an electric battery and hydrogen fuel-cell technology. As part of the deal, the electric-truck startup will use GM’s Ultium battery system and Hydrotec fuel-cell technology.

     

    Founded in 2014, Nikola went public in June via a reverse merger. Investors quickly drove up its value amid broader enthusiasm about electric vehicles, helped by Tesla Inc.’s recent string of profits and success expanding production. Nikola even briefly passed Ford Motor Co. in market value.

    More recently, Nikola’s share price has retreated, losing more than half its value over the past three months. Before Tuesday, the company’s market value was $13.5 billion. In comparison, GM was at $42.9 billion, Ford at $27 billion and Tesla at $390 billion.

    Nikola will be responsible for the sales and marketing for the Badger and will retain the Nikola Badger brand. The Badger will be unveiled in December, and production is expected to start in late 2022.

    Last month, Nikola said it secured an order for 2,500 electric garbage trucks from refuse giant Republic Services Inc.

    Last year, Ford Motor Co. took a $500 million stake in electric-truck startup Rivian Automotive.

     

    Time for me to cool something off.

    Looking back at RW's MVP season, the most incredible thing to see is that he made 200 3-pointers at 34.3% clip! The dude who hasn''t come anywhere close since. Is not like shooting % goes down with age, especially when he has all day to shot them now. What the hell changed?

    He also averaged 3 BPG that year.  2 vs his own teammates but still.

    Roach posted yesterday, after the commitment, that Ketron had gone back to Harris last week and asked to re-film the video.  It was Harris and Roach's belief that it meant he had changed his mind - or at the very least he was still waffling between Arkansas and Texas.  That's apparently where the optimism was coming from.

    Those Wall Street Bets guys are the best:

    About to head home form work and I really don't want to go home. I don't want my wife and kids to ask me if something's wrong because my wife always knows just by looking at my face. I don't want to have to tell her.I started this as a hobby of sorts. Just to make some extra cash and maybe have a little fun. I've done okay these past 2 months and bragged the other day about how I was becoming somewhat of a "stock broker", like the ones on Wall Street. There was a glint of awe and admiration in her eyes, a shine I hadn't seen in years.

    Today I lost everything and I don't want to go home. Part of me wonders if they're better off without me.

    So I'm here asking for advice as someone who only a couple months ago stumbled on to your world. How do you deal with the loss and disappointment? How do you face your loved ones when they ask how things are going? In my case, my loss directly affects them because its $28 I could have used for groceries or something to benefit them. How do you guys dealing with losing absolutely everything you put in? How do you rebuild? How?

     

    What the hell did he put it in to lose everything?

    I agree with this. Their winning also had to do with us shitting the bed, and then it's a cake walk for them. We're their real only competition talent-wise, but we can't hire anyone with an IQ higher than a regular Okie meth user. Once they play a team with equal talent they don't see year in and year out they shit everywhere. It's not a coincidence that every single team outside of the conference works their sorry asses with ease. 

    Idk if we have dumb fucks as coaches or it's a mental thing?  Do we over plan?  Flip side is this game means alot to the okies.  They cancel school if they win, I mean wtf?  I've always thought the ou ownage of this conference is the main reason why Stoops and now Lincoln never left.
