  1. Where were you staying? I was refering to Ace of Spades and the Bryant Park Hotel.
  2. Let me clock the tea for a second: He wasn't the student body president that year but he did try to get her kicked out of school for a problematic halloween tho. #teacup #fingershand
  3. I think Elon sucks too. I think truth in reporting the financial details and business aspects of the ordeal is a separate peace from Elon and in zero way, shape or form is an endorsement or support. The only "support" you can point to is the 75% of votes in favor of the pay package which is made up of a bunch of scared to death shareholders and 4chan stonk bro youtubers who make up his rather large retail shareholder base. If anything, I'm trying to throw cold water on Elon and his supporters pronouncing his trillion dollar pay package a win as it's not even close to that (and as a byproduct throwing cold water on those who want to be offended he got a [fake] trillion dollar pay package, I guess).
  4. I've stayed at that hotel often (despite my earlier pronouncements of being poor and only looking at Bonvoy chain hotels). Love the location and it feels stereotypical NY to me with the bathrooms and views, the only thing I don't like about that hotel is that it feels like a long walk away from a proper bagel and breakfast. You have the Zucker's bagels close by and it's pretty mid but other than that the pastry cafe on the corner (Ole & STeen) there is buttcheeks, as the kids say.
  5. Agreed, I'm just saying can we be honest about "They are paying him ONE TRILLION dollars!" in that it seems like that there are astronomically low odds he will ever get to the milestones required to unlock those 12 traunches. To wit and from NYT this AM: I get that the overwhelming stench of Elon is nauseating but we ought to leave room for honestly framing these things IMO rather than the clickbait "TRILLIONAIRE!" headlines that 99% of people don't dig into.
  6. Serious question; do you understand that Elon Musk is not being given $1T dollars? He's being given 12% of the company, which today is worth (before AHT) somewhere in the neighborhood of $1.54T. That means it's worth $180bn today. If he can, somehow and someway, grow Tesla to $8.33 trillion valuation (60% larger than Nvidia at it's most bubbliest, by the way), then by that miracle he would have a $1 Trillion dollar package. The framing of this narrative is silly. That's all, I'll see my way out.
  7. I listened to the leaked audio. I got bad chills and sick from it like seeing the CK video. It was too cold and by the book process to not be real IMO.
  8. What's it take to be an ATC? Can I get my shifty, no good, bum of a nephew a job? Just needs to show up and pee in a cup and look at radars? He plays a lot of video games and can maybe repurpose his screen time to look at blips and boops on radar screen? I think he finally got his bachelors...
  9. Like this place when my kids were little: https://coltersbbq.com/
  10. So.....it's the El Fenix (on Field St.) of BBQ joints? I don't say that to be cheeky but that's the first comparison I thought of when you said it's kind of an old staple of Dallas, not gonna knock anyone's socks off with the food, but good location and does numbers on private events like rehersal dinners and Christmas parties.
  11. Are you talking about this? eta linky: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/health/obesity-drug-prices-trump.html Obesity Drugs May Drop to as Little as $149 a Month President Trump announced a deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to lower prices on hugely popular weight-loss drugs for Medicare, Medicaid and American patients who pay with their own money.
  12. 100%. It's a loss leader on the front end to save exponentially on the back end.
  13. linky: https://news.gallup.com/poll/696599/obesity-rate-declining.aspx \
  14. My specialist doctor was using some auto-transcription AI service this week and I asked him about it. It's interesting that they don't have to get your consent to record the conversation, which is essentially what it was doing (plugging into the laptop a little jabra like mic). He loves it and he said he and all his peers have been using an AI company called Open Evidence for a year now (https://www.openevidence.com/)
  15. It's been well documented that GLP-1 drugs have been the reason America's obesity rate dropped for the first time since it started rising alarmingly. Even more so among women.
  16. Because I wear dentures.
  17. Pundits outchea saying though Zohran getting all the attention the biggest winner last night was our boy Newsom. He's building to a successful presidential bid IMO and I'm hear for it (spicy memes addict).
  18. In these hard economic times; Prop 13 was welcome.
  19. That's.....pretty spot on lol.
  20. Best quip I've seen all morning to explain what should be obvious to everyone (especially Bill Ackman):
  21. Zohran is such a sweet guy, I'm super happy for him. I hope what has served him well continues to do so.
  22. Yep. Lots of good upper class money in NJ, despite it's awful reputation. I think most people think of Elizabeth or Trenton before Morris Point or Montville or Paramus area
  23. I love this because I am making the same bet, but I also know he's been very wrong a lot of times since the big short.
  24. Evan Gershkovich was that year too fyi. The more you know rainbow!
  25. You have never read The Death of Ivan Ilyich?
