  1. I view all of this as an example of positive Darwin-like behavior.
  2. This (below) is displayed in a hallway of my home. Fuck that guy. Couldn’t beat Florida.
  3. One of the teams won.
  4. If inflation is only 4% next May after 15%to 20% tariffs have started kicking in for reals - that would far exceed my wildest positive expectation. All we can do is stay on Mr. Choad’s Wild Ride and post on surly.
  5. Oh, I know Jack shit about that case procedurally - or the timeline of events. And there’s a very good chance 100% of what I said was absolutely wrong. I have no idea if they were “at-will” employees - or if they had some kind of contractual agreement on severance. Or what state or country’s laws govern even. Except the part about Elmo invariably saying lots of really embarrassing toxic shit that he would not disclosed in a hearing or a trial.. you know he can’t help himself. It’s that he has so damn much money that when he pays somebody, I just assume the motivation is not the merits of the case - but perhaps more his childlike ego needing to be protected from totally justified criticism of his asshole-ish behavior. I’m probably wish-casting. I’m just glad they will be paid eventually.
  6. …but I will have a stern talking to with my voice recognition software.
  7. I can see how visual proof that you had corn in your bowl of red could lead to diminished societal acceptance.
  8. If on the sad day the US and/or Europe turns its back on Ukraine, I hope Ukraine has enough missiles in storage so they can fire 1000 Flamingo missiles at once at every commercial and military airport tower and runway, every electricity producing power plant (whether oil, coal, nat gas, nuke, or Hydro), every large dam and every and main bridge over every river and gorge in the entire fucking country of Russia. And then fire 1000 the next day onto the moldering ruins of what was hit the first day (and any remaining air defense). Day three should be massive drone attacks in St. Petersburg and Moscow - hitting smaller electrical substations and any banks and government offices not protected. If it comes down to an abandoned Ukraine’s very survival, fuck the impact on Russian civilians and the resulting humanitarian crisis. I get why Ukraine has to play by different rules when they are dependent upon others. That philosophical restriction where Russia attacks civilian targets like apartments and hospitals and energy infrastructure and dams with impunity - and Ukraine can’t respond in kind - should no longer be in play if they are left to their own devices against an immoral Russia. i’d pull out my ‘when Trump dies’ bottle of champagne and celebrate.
  9. I’m pretty sure we can attribute this change of heart to finally winning whatever motion the employees were fighting about to gain access to all of that moron’s texts, tweets, and emails on the subject. You can prolly count on the fact that whatever he was saying in private was cringe worthy. And like waving a red cape at a bull, screenshot blowups of Elmo’s mean girl thought nuggets about the lay-offs would result in a jury hammering him and finding in favor of the former employees at a more expensive lesson than the settlement.
  10. So - if we have a shitty August jobs report September 5, then we do a small rate cut to help the jobs numbers, so when the next month or two inflation from tariffs catches up with us, we raise rates again? If Trump has his people they can get rich timing the good and bad news. Not that he would ever do that.
  11. I think you are confusing people who suggest things with those who announce things as a fact - like you just announced the “win” over Surly group think. Mostly people get pissed off by the Surly Right because they constantly pronounce theories and Fox News talking points as fact. The Surly CR Cabol has a little use for people who post talking points as fact with little or no analysis or detail.
  12. Yeah - well who did??? You??? <getting out sepuku sword>
  13. Erbody happy that J-Pow hinted that he did not rule out a rate cut. I would bet a beer that when the September 11 CPI report comes out it will give enough data that J-Pow will see the Market expecting to kick a winning field goal and instead go “due to concerning reduced employment data - and increasing tariff-related inflationary pressure - it is prudent to stay the present course and not to reduce rates at this time” the following week.
  14. And once upon a time, so was Pig. May the dirt burglars replicate Pig’s SEC football success.
  15. When we beat Ohio State in 2006, I reminded some buckeyes before the game that we had to play Bama and that our 2006 Homecoming opponent was LSU….who won it all the year before and the year after. The buckeyes had been crowing about having defeated mighty Michigan in a close game - (although Michigan wound up losing in the Rose Bowl).
  16. UEC up a tad over 9% today. What the hell, did Kazakhstan quit mining uranium?
  17. i’d rather swap South Carolina for Oklahoma as the third Florida pod member. I have no desire to set foot in the state of Oklahoma.
  18. For selfish reasons, I want to keep LSU. 1) because my son went there, and 2) because I can drive to games in Red Stick in 90 minutes. Plus, the tailgate food is much better in Baton Rouge than it is in Tennessee, and a night game at LSU is a must do experience. That big steep Vol stadium can be quiet as a church when those assholes are down, but the degenerates at LSU scream the entire game. And finally, I’m pretty sure if you look at the game closeness factor, that the majority of the games still have Florida and LSU Fighting for a last-minute score to win. Put another way, the LSU-Florida game is usually a better game than Tennessee-Florida. I do get more satisfaction beating Tennessee if that is the decider.
  19. “Well, gosh-darn it all, and please excuse that language, but golly, when you come to one of Jiffy Cancer Mart’s many drive-through facilities, you’ll see why we call it a HEALTHY-OSTOMY!!” * * insurance compensation likely may not apply, some physicians may not hold current medical licenses
  20. P/E? Yeah, it’s pretty extreme. BRRRRRRT!!
  21. 12-ish minutes till J-Pow speech start. ”…a small rate cut would be appropriate”, or ”I know this is Jackson Hole, but look at the size of that bear…..market, ‘cause no damn rate cuts Orange Man!”
  22. Prolly just the little white flag that the other spot was holding before he got nuked.
  23. “ if you can’t bang a stripper named Brandy behind a dumpster, why be a judge?”
