  1. While we are railing on imma I gotta question. Why isn’t this post labeled “well written content”? Just because ctj wasn’t the author don’t mean it ain’t good bull. Fucking fascist.
  2. that sounds like every last regular on the rain thread here. i know for a fact I'm usually up late and drinking (and I don't even drink that much) when there's a gullywasher let alone a cataclysmic rain event.
  3. as long as you crouch on the floor with your hands over your head under your desk in flash flood you'll be fine, even in your basement.
  4. it's like you are talking about hurricanes and tornadoes and ignoring flash floods. sirens go off, you don't seek shelter in your freaking basement dude. you EVACUATE. give me 30 minutes of warning time - i'm awakened and told to evacuate now or I'll die (meaning of a siren) and I guarantee you I'm going to be safe, end of story. stop being obtuse.
  5. and for the RVers... if you are camping on a river bank and unaware of the weather and without an analog weather radio then I just don't know what to tell you other than the fact you probably weren't a boy scout. still, you deserve sirens too.
  6. the NWS warning should be heeded by anyone in leadership in a disaster prone area like a river valley in one of the most flash-flood prone areas. individuals should too but the government and camp leadership should immediately go into monitoring mode with the warning. the moment a river is known to be approaching or will approach flood status from river gauges the sirens should go off and all other methods of alerting the public should go into effect. the county should also have the camps on speed dial. this isn't hard, kids are in the flood zone, redundancy matters, fucking get with it. and since this is a multi-county issue, even on one river let alone all the other rivers and counties in the flash flood areas, it should be the state's responsibility to fund it. this shit is just not that hard folks.
  7. I’ve thought about it but I have a massive mental block for a standing desk. I’m going to figure out how to walk more …. BECAUSE GET THIS…. While in San Miguel… I drank more (5 nights a week), I ate out more (6 nights a week), I ate dessert most meals, and with all of that…. I LOST 6 POUNDS IN 3 WEEKS! yes, I AM yelling. I’m shocked.
  8. Oh I do that in my HIIT work outs. Probably 1x a month and if not that some other stupid shit that pisses me off just as much.
  9. Averaged 8000 steps Monday through Thursday and close to 20,000 steps Friday through Sunday in San Miguel. Played tennis bit and went to the gym. My hip felt great. Looks like sitting at my desk is the big problem, not sure how I’m going to do this but I need to add serious walking not just a 1000 steps in a 15 min walk to my routine. Happy and frustrated at the same time. I dunno what prowler training is. Funny you say lazy tho, it’s what peaked my interest in sprints that and it seems tennis appropriate.
  10. I’m in the fidelity ETF, FBTC. Honestly recent experience grappling with physical metals is a bit much. I don’t know all of what buying actual bitcoin entails but I figure for a long term hold - inflation / currency hedge - growth asset play - with a .25% expense structure, 99%+ tracking of actual bitcoin value because the ETF owns actual and only bitcoin with no options or other funny business on the ETF and the only notable drawback is it’s not tradable 24/7 that it was just fine. while it has unique features in the end I see it as an explosive growth asset and part of a disruptive trend among finance, transportation, AI, energy and robotics. There are other growth stocks and sectors but I’m hunting these 5 mostly. Now I need to invest 100x additional to see this run up to $250-500k or more. In due time maybe. Getting my sea legs as it were right now. i am interested in why owning actual crypto is the way to go though. I can see it for use as legal tender but buy and hold?
  11. Absolutely stunning. In every way.
  12. Sorry I can’t keep ignoring his handles fast enough
  13. Yeah you missed it. I fucking hate leaders that do things that result in kids dying. And I’m god damned tired of it. I agreed with her sentiment btw not the way she said it but the nuance is probably completely lost on you. I do think this one will result in narrow change on the upper guad. And for that I’m glad. That was the point of my first rant. but to take anything else from my posts is disingenuous at best. I’ll tell you this too, my litmus test for posting is whether I’d come out of anonymity and own what I said and I would on both of those posts. but you keep trying and play gotcha with me big dog.
  14. That makes sense I don’t see 680…
  15. Down to one flood gate at Buchanan and 16k CFS over inks spillway. Streamflow receding too.
  16. I have no issue with the sentiment of that doctor’s post but then I bear the brunt of some pretty horrific legislative outcomes myself. You want to be conservative no issue, we are way past that. We are in active fuck you I want you to feel pain mode now and it’s time we ALL stop that shit. We can start with flood warning systems and move on to compassion for others after that. But it’s time to hold people accountable for their hateful and dangerous policies whatever they may be. And yeah I’m a lib but fuck all of that, kindness should know NO political party or specific religion.
  17. I’ll post one tomorrow if I can we are flying back from San Miguel de Allende today after about a month being gone
  18. alright I’m in. Physical gold, silver and BTC. I got guns too. No conspiracy theories though and still liberal as fuck.
  19. Hopefully I won’t ever need this investment for walking around money.
  20. Short term pull back in effect now just patiently waiting for my entry point.
  21. Thanks, recently I’ve taken control over that last tranche of investments - the disruptive category and it’s really interesting when you buy assets and stocks that you believe in (granted your investment thesis still has to be right), then market sentiment and macro market influences are timing factors and nothing else. I’m having a great time doing the eval and picking. FBTC beat out a nuclear energy ETF and a fusion energy stock (broader energy play with exposure to fusion) for this round of buying. BTC seems way safer and less speculative tbqh.
