  1. The thing about cholera and other water borne diseases is once they start spreading it’s really hard to stop them. It requires a concerted and deliberate cleanup with delivery of clean water and sanitation improvements which are tough to accomplish in peace time. Given the Russians lack of any rear echelon organization this could get ugly fast.
  2. I miss some things from my 30 plus years in Texas but summer heat isn’t one.
  3. Seriously that should be prosecutable. How the hell can you do that on debt? I guess it’s true that if you owe the bank a few thousand you have problems but if you owe them 300 million they have the problem.
  4. Eggs dropped by their largest percentage since 1991, because OEEC didn’t impose reductions in their egg cartel production.
  5. Stonk life baby. If it goes to 30 cents I’ll buy another 5000 shares. I can’t put baller money in any of this. That goes to pay college tuition.
  6. $20K seems high to resurface right? I haven't started getting quotes so maybe not. Not sure what modernizing the drain means. 20k doesn’t seem too high, depending on the new material. Especially one with pebble finish. If it’s just regular plaster it’s too high. I miss my pools. Especially as summer begins. Nothing beats that first swim in the scorching heat.
  7. Sold at 43 cents, will re enter at around 30. Amy. That slut. IBRX is a puzzle. Holding a lot at about a 1.50 basis. Trying to decide whether to buy more.
  8. I think the wordle today was in honor of the final play of that super regional.
  9. Yeah until rent subsides it’s going to stay high. I see a few markets where rent is dropping YOY and that is going to be interesting. None of these new loans modeled that scenario I bet.
  10. I am glad I’m not the only one thinking Wtf is this shit? And I have doofus on ignore.
  11. I always worry about the guys who think they know the answers… especially in engineering, they’re usually wrong, or at least haven’t explored all the possibilities.
  12. I’m up 60 percent in this iteration of AMY. I will sell if we get to forty cents.
  13. I will miss the following subreddits: \ohlympics \nostalgiafapping \askhistorians \montereybay \10s \patientgamers And that’s about it. Tennis porn and games.
  14. I quit using Reddit, the website sucks and third party apps are the only way to make it usable. It joined Twitter in being deleted from my phone which frees up more time that I used to waste.
  15. Engineering and surveying. Throughout the southern part of the country. PE is good if it’s patient money. I have no use for the kind that overpays, thinking they can either split the business up (and resell) or just increase prices to justify the price paid.
  16. We’re always acquiring, and valuations are way more reasonable than during the Rona. Still higher than before 2020 but at least private equity has gotten the fuck out of this space. Those guys Fuck everything up for players in the market just looking to expand. They buy at inflated value without regard to what works in the industry.
  17. Change to hold for cartel.
  18. You mean my contributions never happened? Because that’s what mine looks like. Still needing some lube.
  19. Somehow after losing my ass on it initially I have been swing trading it decently. Such volatility, so much.
  20. He just got to the shire and Bilbo kicked his ass out.
  21. The dam busting bombs in WW2 used by the Brit’s were 4000 kg. That is compared to a 500 kg normal size. Yeah. It was placed explosives on weak points to create a failure. Not shelling which is a ludicrous assertion.
  22. I very strongly view you as stupid or spectacularly uninformed.
  23. Went and watched some videos of the breached flow. That’s a lot of flow. The amount of sediment moving from the reservoir is going to be incredible. The damage is going to unreal downstream on the low bank. I also thought some more about this and the most damage would have been done with explosives in the emergency relief pipes, especially in the wet side because of the basically incompressible nature of water, which means the energy of an explosion can be directed toward the structure.
  24. Engineer here, do design of some small dams from time to time. Demo of a dam is fairly simple if you have access to its base. You just need a breach to start and it will go quickly, because water will find a way through it. Could a single missile do it? Unlikely but a bunker Buster might. On the other hand, planting explosives at the downstream base and in the intake and release structures would certainly do it with minimal chance of not working. The pictures I’ve seen show a narrow breach which indicates no catastrophic structural failure, just a breach. It’s probably still a total rebuild but I don’t see evidence of a huge flood wave resulting from it. I’ll read up some more of it today.
