  1. No you can't play. Yes you can play. No you can't play.
  2. Funny you say that, I started out stonking with 'play' money that I used to gamble on sports with. Now my stonks dominate my portfolio in terms of value, and I haven't bet football at all the entire season. No NCAA, no NFL.
  3. Without even reading the whole document, somehow, I'm sure it's not riddled with misspellings and formatting errors.
  4. Lady G would like a word.
  5. This is not the place for discipline. This is stonking. You're looking for the 'conservative, traditional investing' thread.
  6. He plagiarized this. I saw it earlier from some dude sitting in the front seat of his car.
  7. So, maybe this belongs in dumb question amnesty. When it is said that the vaccine is 95% effective, does that mean it's 95% effective at generating the antibodies? Or that, even if you have the antibodies, there's still a 5% chance you get it? The reason I ask is because I've had my two Pfizer shots and took an antibody test that showed I have the antibodies. I previously took this same test, pre-shots and after shot 1, and it showed no antibodies. Others in my extended family did the same and have the same results. Do I still have a 5% chance of getting it?
  8. video is here: Tour also OK with Rory McIlroy's embedded-ball drop at Farmers | Golf Channel The shot is relatively similar, but their behavior is quite different. For McIlroy, the shot takes a bounce first then disappears into thick rough. McIlroy comes upon it, checks it out, DOESN'T pick it up. Shouts out to his playing partners 'hey I think my ball is embedded.' To which they don't even bother to examine, confirm it's a one club drop, and go about their business. THEN McIlroy picks up the ball. Contrast with Reed, two damning factors. Almost his first utterance is 'did anyone see it bounce?' which is an odd question, unless, of course, he saw it bounce and knows the odds of it being embedded after a bounce are low. And of course, he picks it up before calling anyone over. If he behaved like McIlroy, good chance he would have been treated like McIlroy "of course it's embedded dude, look at these conditions." Instead, he went about it all sneaky, and with his history, he is accused of cheating. Now, why didn't he do that? And why doesn't he see that it's not "...SAME THING."
  9. If you increase the money in taxpayer's pockets, won't they spend that on (mostly) taxable goods and services, thereby increasing revenues?
  10. FOMO had to get in on AMC. $16.70 after hours.
  11. Call it FOMO or just stonking, but jumped in on TSNP on Friday at .3777. It promptly fell to .35something. Now I'm feeling pretty smrt.
  12. Similar for me. Went to bed Tuesday night, depressed, thinking 'well shit, I must be the asshole, the majority of the country wants Trump, I guess I'll just have to deal with it." Which is what Trumpers should have thought at the final tally. Instead, their first thought is FIX!
  13. They either never actually had credentials or had them revoked. They were 'invited guests' to the PC's. That's why their reporter always stood in the back and didn't take a seat up front with the real journalists. Not sure what changed.
  14. I think I'm gonna have to jump in on TSNP. Hope it's not too late.
  15. Watching right now, it's refreshing to see someone who has read what's on the teleprompter...before reading it on the teleprompter. Also, good save when he misread silent as salient, corrected himself, then said it is both salient and silent, while demonstrating that he actually new what 'salient' meant.
  16. She danced around a few questions and promised to get back. If she indeed keeps that promise, that will be...refreshing.
  17. There is a question as to whether a vaccinated person can still carry and transmit the virus. Right now, it's more of "it's not impossible" as opposed to "it's possible" but that question still needs to be resolved.
  18. One thing Jen touched on briefly, but I am amazed at the development of the EO's such that they were sign-able on day 1. Who worked on those? Certainly the old admin would not allow civil service staffers to spend time on those.
  19. She has a binder...
  20. Speaking of Fisher... I keed I keed don't neg me into oblivion.
  21. Had minor side effects starting about 20 hours after the 2nd shot. Headache, bodyache, fatigue. All minor. Took a couple of advil. Cleared up completely by the next day.
  22. What doesn’t go well with a tall boy of Modelo?
  23. Mitsubishi, not a Miata. I'm probably just as crazy for remembering that and posting it.
  24. Got my 2nd Pfizer dose yesterday around 2pm. Last night, had the same pain at the injection site as I did with the first dose. By this morning, pain has largely subsided and no other effects as of yet.
  25. Pardoning Trump really doesn't hurt Pence if he does it right. A precedent has already been set. Heck, he could copy Ford's pardon of Nixon word for word. Although with this administration, it might actually be word for word, and pardon Nixon again.
