When you run a company in an industry that has in total 2% profit margins, I'd be pretty hesitant to lower prices of anything. But hey, what do I know about business?- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
To put it in similar context, price of oil goes up, gas station immediately raises price of gas. Oil prices come down, gas station doesn't immediately lower price of gas. Is that price gouging?- Running / Triathlon Thread
@ClintonaldoHow is your swim? I know you posted some results from a 70.3 a few months back but I'm curious on how often you swim, drills, etc.?- Running / Triathlon Thread
Please do and I'd love to follow you on the course. I'll send you mine as well.- Running / Triathlon Thread
When I did the Olympic in Austin, it got very boring very quick doing 4 loops on the bike. I'm glad Waco is an out and back one loop and a one loop run. When is D-Day for you again?- Running / Triathlon Thread
Whoa. Crazy that they can do that with just a few weeks until the race. That sucks. Just do it.- #10 Florida St v. Georgia Tech from Dublin, ESPN

Enlightening honestly. However, I wonder what credit card balances not being paid off are, or even debt per capita are over the last 5 years.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

Enlighten me then. What exactly am I clueless on?- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Definitely. It’s not like I get paid to pay attention to rising costs on a daily basis. I just look around the grocery store and see a 30-50% increase in the cost of a week of groceries. The increase in the overall cost of living is staggering compared to 4 years ago. Rent/housing, utilities, gas, insurance (which is a fucking killer) are all drastically up. Americans have adopted the federal government’s solution to spending: just go into more debt. Credit card balances and overall consumer debt is at its highest rate in history. Devaluing of the US dollar by printing and spending trillions of dollars over the last 4 years is the culprit. It isn’t just the Dems either. Trump spent bookoos of money as well at the beginning of Covid. Whoever said that we should cut spending is 100% correct. The US needs to stop spending so much fucking money. Take a look at job growth by industry and notice that the second highest driver of new jobs is government. All of these new programs being pushed just push the US further into debt. We won’t be able to fund social security in 2030 because we’ve spent ourselves to death. But yeah, I’m kinda clueless.- 2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
Seems like the only people talking about politics in this thread are the cloak room regulars.- Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Bought quite a bit of silver bars and a bit of gold around 18 months ago when silver was $20. Now up 50% in the silver, around 10% in the gold. Seriously wondering if it's time to sell or just keep it. I definitely don't need the cash at all. I'll probably just keep it and end up giving it to my kid when I die. I'm currently 36 years old. That'll be a nice little chunk of change for him.- Off Grid Alaska
Bottle some of that up and send it to Houston. It's miserable down here.- Vice President tells NASA to get to the Moon in 5 years.
ISS is scheduled to be decommissioned in the next 6 years and there are approximately 10 companies working on a private replacement for the ISS. NASA is going to get all the pieces of the Artemis program to an acceptable level of risk and cost to finish the mission on a decent timeline. There may be some delays due to the scrapping of their own suits for the Artemis mission (and Collins Aerospace dropping out of their suit contract with NASA - see link below), but it will happen within a reasonable timeframe but not due to cost. NASA always seems to have a contingency plan. Manned spaceflight will continue after the decommissioning of the ISS. It will be privatized (thankfully) and become cheaper as more companies develop new stations. https://spacenews.com/collins-aerospace-pulls-back-from-nasa-spacesuit-contract/- 2024 Weight Loss/Exercise Thread
Sorry, but this right here is completely false.- Tell Me About Texas a&m
And 100 years.- Running / Triathlon Thread
For a training run, that's not a bad time at all. Especially at that heart rate! I believe my half PB is somewhere around 1:42 but I consistently do training runs around 1:52 or so. I'm definitely not setting a PB for a half marathon in Waco lol- Running / Triathlon Thread
Took it easy this weekend. I can feel the training catching up with me. Listening to my body. I’ll probably go for a short jog tomorrow, take a few more days off then start the final build up again. I’m 8 weeks away so I want to recover and attack one more time before the taper. GG on the century.- Running / Triathlon Thread
