    You probably could have figured that out without a colonoscopy.

    Ha. Point being, with all these early colon cancer diagnoses, or earlier than normal, it’s imperative you get checked out at that age and probably 40 if you have history of colon cancer. 

    Men are generally fearful of the deal, and I get why, but it was easy. Prepping by far was the worst part. The African American community, as an example, is at relatively higher risk and doesn’t get screened.

    Well I definitely wouldn’t be giving your company a contract with that defeatist attitude. 
     

    They need that thing open for commerce, for automobiles and all the ships that have to pass beneath it. It’ll be an all out push and people will be back driving on it March 2025.

  3. Just got done. Was a really minor deal. And I learned some things. I’m 45, about to be 46.

    Three of the hottest nurses were there. I’ve convinced my wife to get hers done there.

    What helped me the day and night before was rubbing aquaphor or Vaseline right on my butthole a few times throughout the day. Also after the first couple shits, ONLY blott your asshole, stop wiping. The no eating part was bad but not nearly as bad as I thought.  Get some chicken stock. 

    My only issue was around 3 am where I was in and out of sleep and thought to myself, it's just going to be a toot. It was not just a toot so there was a change and a sheet wash. Other than that, the prep wasn't the worst thing in the world.  Still not a great day, but it was manageable and not nearly as bad as I was led to believe. 

    Procedure is a nothing burger. I have to go every 5 years due to family history but so far so good. 

    Did you just fucking say toot?

    You dorks stop the worrying, fretting, pissing and moaning.  Take the prep stuff, blow it all out, go get the procedure done.  It's not like you're having a double lung transplant.  Good grief.

    I’m eating lemon jello and Jolly Ranchers. Not fun man. I’m fucking hangry. This is serious shit.

    Aint no thing. Seriously   I have no memory of the procedure from when they said "we are going to give you some meds" to when they said "your wife is here to pick you up" 

    Oh I figured. The problem is, that’s tomorrow.

    man you are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overrating Kingston and his impact to the case. notice how much impact he had in the actual trial?

    i know this is the case with lawyers in general but Bruenig is very good in his lane and offers less than nothing outside of it

    both are also tremendous assholes - which is fine

    Kingston went to the Baylor school of attention whoring with his buddy Clay Jenkins.  Anything to keep his name out there.

    It's committed capital/capital call money.  To your point, it's not terrribly clear other than "Texas-based" (which could just be G&A headquarters or actual E&P or even alts/renewables).  I'm guessing now that I look at it again, it's purposely obfuscating to give them cover down the road.  Dunno, but it was just something I was talking about this morning at with a TPSF/GLO guy because it wasn't a non-substantial amount of capital removed from Blackrock.  We'd be talking about this same thing were it TRS or ERS as well.  not the first time, and sure as shit won't be the last time something like this happens.  

    Whatever. BR has been vocal about renewables only and ESG, and a lot of their bigger PE brethren have abandoned the space.  Performance related issues are good reasons to (temporarily) leave. ESG is not a good reason to seemingly permanently bolt, and be very vocal about it.  BR constantly placated its leftist constitutents and just learned relationships work both ways.  We flexed our muscles, I’m very happy we did so, and BR’s post-mortem commentary is hilariously butthurt obfuscation.

    I''m looking at their allocation policy.  It's $170bn.  Obviously there's nuance to what is considered "headquartered" in Texas and what is actual E&P/midstream/refinery physically in Texas.  But it's something in that low 9-figure/high 8-figure ballpark.  

    You need a lot more detail than this. Allocated to energy?  What is committed of that amount?  What is ACTUAL energy like hydrocarbons and midstream and services?

    Even then, who cares what they’ve currently committed?  Are they gonna fuck themselves with Oxy because Texas told them to hit the bricks?  Good luck I guess.

    well the catch is Blackrock's global equities side has $120bn+ invested in Texas-based O&G.  So somebody gets pouty about this and allocations may get redeployed.  Won't make a huge rift just the conflation of our 4th largest endowment and arguably the nation's biggest ii wrt to O&G in Texas.  Just something in the news, that's all.  

    They don’t. That’s probably what they’ve committed over time (probably only over last 15 years), the vast majority of which has been returned and made them a shit ton of money. But BlackRock fucked around and found out.  They’ve been HARD on the wrong side of ESG, and have been the poster child for investing only in renewables.  Yes, they had been walking back their ridiculous stance, but fuck ‘em.

    Well, relax, your kid is probably more likely to get shot in school. Get your priorities straight. 

    I know, am relaxed, and have issues with that too. Pit bulls are like wild pigs. Invasive destructive creatures. You cannot expect breeders to adhere to neutering. They all need to go away.

    I think you get farther with a humane approach aimed at both safety and animal welfare. I can recognize that many of these dogs are beloved pets and they need to be neutered and treated kindly. 

    And it is an animal welfare issue. Pits overwhelm the shelter system and are much more likely to be mistreated, abused, and used illegally.  Breeders are the source of the dogs.  People who like dogs should want to see these breeders put out of existence, they are the ones supplying grist for the animal abuse mill. 

    All I hear is “blah blah blah” while my only concern is my child getting her face ripped off or being killed.
