    Agreed. Many in the oil biz have lived many places. We’re on house #17. Most of those places had serious shortcomings, weather wise, culture wise, security wise. Makes me appreciate any kind of nice place.

    Circa 1/6/21 for me.

    Maybe 2010 he was with his band with the Brazilian guitarist, at the Mountain Winery above San Jose. We drove down from San Ramon and arrived way early, before parking was even open. But they were sympathetic and let us in. With drinks in hand we were walking behind the stage when the band comes up and does a 5 song sound check. Just for us. Hard to believe this happened. I might be as big a fan as Brat.

    Nah. Inspires everyone to simply put their whole body and soul into it. Can’t match the talent, but approaching the passion will do fine.

    Yes, it does. Take $. But, much less than one might think.. The main issue for almost everyone is getting a job out of Texas. Not everyone will get recruited, so there will be a long wait for most. But after that wait….

    Seattle winters are long and dark, due to the 48 degree latitude. But the ocean both moderates temps in the winter but provides lots of rain. We get just a bit more rain annually than Houston, almost all Nov-April. But the beauty does not abate for one second during the winter. We’re here for the beauty.

    Seattle downtown has had a setback, but not the regional metro area, which is 90% of the place. And Seattle’s issues have much to do with the pandemic. Something like 2700 small shops and restaurants closed due to no customers. Shopping patterns change. And there are the homeless. Still best place I’ve ever lived.

    Yeah, those CVX and XOM stocks have been awful under Brandon

    Elections hereabouts are never unanimous. And, jokes aside, no one here is is undefeated. Society’s collective view is in fact represented, blunt instrument that it is, via elections, and laws enacted by our collective representatives. For those that don’t afterward support said laws, there are other elections and other societies. Back to the op topic, society’s collective view is that it is worth the lives of these kids, and all the gun suicides, to keep our eyes on the prize of most guns possible. Plenty to not like for all when it comes to important stuff.

    Well, to start with, society’s collective view on what is needed next. Is your forever cry fair game?

    Empty talk

    Well we all are above average.

    Well, it depends, like in consideration of all qualities, the inherent good lies not in the word “equality”, but in the purpose it serves. Our federal outlays are about 40-45% of gdp. Euro countries around 50%. A flat tax penalizes almost everyone except for the top tax payers. So, the problem with your idea of equality is that it does not serve fairness. It’s not the words, Fattie. It is the purposed served. Folks have been on this message for awhile now.

    Fattie is also for a flat tax, which reveals his contempt for the poor, and is itself reflective of contempt for society in general.

    Twice Be our guest, go ahead and give your personal views on the right and wrong of things. In addition to your educational efforts. You won’t turn to stone.

    And those 500 felons shot up how many schools?
  18. nbmishoid
    But you have a much greater than mean income. Your contribution should reflect that.
  19. nbmishoid
    So, Fatty, it is about the money. The welfare queens. The dregs. Your fellow citizens. Your fellow members of society. Also, there’s a technical view that it is not, in fact, your money. Issuance before redemption, and all that. But you just don’t want to support societal improvement. Not with money. With endless bullshit, you seem yo think. You are not helping the world. Get off the bus.

    Christ, man, anything with a 3 handle in jeans is ok!
  21. nbmishoid
    Fucking of course not. We have 3 antiques my wife inherited. But no ammo. I doubt they would be safe to shoot without cleaning.

    Always the solid play

    But, we really must leave it to the legal system alone. It’s the best we’ve got, better than the rest. Doesn’t work, but, whatever.
  24. nbmishoid
    Well, the facts were pretty hard on Donziger. He seemed to think anything can be attempted in using courts to extort boogeymen corporations.

    Regressive taxes, most “mandatory” government, and zero hope or possibility of positive change. That is the formula for success. Amirite?
