  1. DG is a shitty store that lives at the fringes of WMT. If a town is too small for Walmart that’s what they get. Tractor supply serves many of the same areas and actually seems like they have their shit together. So I don’t think this is a consumer issue but a shitty company. But big brains can disagree.
  2. White don’t crack isn’t really a thing. I’m fucking cracking all over at 51.
  3. Yeah pretty sure if the tax man figured it out you got some explaining to do.
  4. This. I think you’re in construction, so just downstream from where I am, but I can’t take on many of the clients trying to hire me now. There is such a shortage of housing that homebuilders are really trying to get ahead and build some lot inventory. Couple that with the trend of NIMBYism moving across suburbs in Texas (don’t laugh, I promise it’s real) and housing is still set to increase in pricing. We’re literally not making headway on housing shortages because, despite what most people things, it’s really hard to produce new developments.
  5. Counter point, I think it doesn’t even move the needle. He’s the weird couch fucker guy. Turnip is the only one that matters. No one was going to vote for this weirdo anyway. Not a single turnip voter is going to change their mind.
  6. Always, brother. Always be grateful.
  7. Holy shit now anecdotal evidence is all that counts? Fuckin a’. My anecdotal evidence is all the people I talk to are kicking ass, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong here.
  8. The funny thing is I’m in a fairly conservative town, my neighbors on one side are a pair of old ladies who may or may not be married but they are awesome. No one gives one shit about it here. It’s great.
  9. Yeah the only school I prohibited my kids from applying to was aggy. Kidding but neither of them applied anyway. My daughter at least applied and was accepted to UT but noped out. My son didn’t even apply. My family’s run at Texas is over for at least a generation. My wife still writes checks to UT but I don’t.
  10. That’s fucking sad and badass at the same time. What a fucking picture.
  11. He should send them the poop emoji. Their reply: Vai tomar no cu, Elmo.
  12. Super Micro seems super fucked. Dodging sanctions selling to Russia, related party transactions all over, looks like Hindenburg picked a solid short this time. If you’re short NVDA good luck, it’s probably solid, but just like TSLA can you outlast the market?
  13. Wrong part of Cali. Salinas, Fresno, Bakersfield, and the Central Valley are all pretty trump because of agriculture. Redding is trumpy as fuck. Then there’s plenty in the LA area.
  14. Ok, that’s actually kind of funny, except what do they think the French are going to do? Go easy on him for fear of more DDoS attacks?
  15. On that table I’m doing number 3. The devil is bound to have some stories😜.
  16. That’s my standard listening speed for YouTube lectures and Spotify Podcasts(1.2) . lol at it being some special thing.
  17. It’s wild how conventional warfare it’s being completely revised in real time. The rise of drones, loss of relevance of main battle tanks, and change in artillery spotting and types. It’s hyperbole, but it’s really revolutionary. I would be shocked if there aren’t major doctrine changes in terms of our military composition for future land warfare coming out of this conflict. Some things clearly don’t change including the need for good NCOs and flexible unit sizes, but I’m marveling at Ukrainian ability to adapt, and the Russian stubbornness even when it’s obvious their shit is not working. Given the disparity in manpower, it’s really pretty unbelievable.
  18. This is just too perfect. Crypto idiot will crypto idiot.
  19. Fuck yeah Pat! Sweep the fucking leg! Meu irmao, ta tudo bem com voce? Nao deixa um pentelho como esse te dar bobagem.
  20. Well furk. Wife just tested positive, running a brutal fever so I picked up Paxlovid for her, but my unicorn status may be in danger again. If I dodge it again I’ll go buy a lottery ticket.
  21. That’ll buff right out.
  22. David Komie is tanned, rested, and baked! Give him a call for hardcore…
  23. Telling someone they’re wrong about their costs seems like a losing proposition. I can tell you that professionally I’ve seen costs escalate in an unprecedented way in construction and land costs in Texas. The prices for asphalt, road base, concrete, and even pipe in competitive bids is over 50 percent higher than pre pandemic. Whatever the reason, I’ve seen my fees go from 10 to 12 percent of a project cost to between 6 and 9. And I’ve increased fees substantially. Raw land in BFE is over 60k an acre (saw a quote for Oklahoma, not a metro area, for example on a 50 plus acre parcel). There is so much foreign money pouring in to real estate that it’s mind boggling. A lot from India, China, Dubai, and other places. It’s going to continue to push prices up for a long time. This inflationary cycle is nowhere near being over for housing.
  24. Oh yeah fucking auto insurance for kids is one that enrages me. I mean, these are all first world problems, but fucking hell.
