A hot blonde skier advertises her rectal o-zone and you figure she'd be unpopular on TGR? Someone should question your commitment to sparkle motion.

2020: Could have sold more long treasuries to keep the housing bubble from going crazy and saved us some deficit interest at the same time. They needed short term juice, not long term.

Not...

Despite the constant rumors of their demise, there are ongoing upgrades to the A-10, as if they might hang around a bit longer. We may not be so anxious to be rid of them--possibly because they've...

He just needs a trusted third party.

So at least someone is "new to the internet."

Ok, sure, but to be honest, if he rips his own arms off I don't need to see his work.

One possible response: #flyingtigers seems to be getting some attention. If Ukraine can line up pre-trained pilots, lending them some F-16's is less provacative than Stalin sending Mig-15's to Korea....

Or just don't accept massive deposits in checking without some in CD's, etc. It sure seems like there are plenty of ways.

I'm trying to understand what's to stop someone from repeating Thiel's moves (against which the shareholders were not protected) but actually making money from it. I certainly agree that no one would...

True. Although the risk still isn't that it already happened but that the possibility has been demonstrated and now we're talking about inventivizing a repeat. Possibly by simple capitalists/rope...

Why didn't that one protect the shareholders?

To be clear, I'm not saying it already happened. I'm saying there may be a downside to normalizing the infinite backstop.

The same ALCO that saw Thiel coming?

I think this cycle argues for a pretty short timeframe, assuming someone could identify an opportune target. Not unlike short squeezing on GME.



Thanks, #3 was particularly helpful. It kind of...

But they can be. Which means a single party (or group) by being both can use the leverage of one to make money from the other.

I'm still trying to find out what's to stop short sellers from...

It's not just him. We're setting US foreign policy in here. Cono knows all of Biden's deep state minders are checking in daily and he's not gonna miss his chance to alter the course of events. Smart.

This gives me a chance to ask a question I've had ever since I spotted that note: what if you just had a blank piece of paper under your windshield wiper? Would you assume it was from some...

It's been alleged that someone bought $96 puts on SVB for $.01 each recently. Maybe enough to make some real money at $2xx per, or maybe not.

But that looks like a profit motive (apparently...

Russians knock down an American aircraft and no hand-wringing over WWIII? I am disappoint.

What Pootin apologists doing?

I don't claim to be any good at guessing density at a glance, but that sure looks more fluffier than 29%. How do we puff this stuff up to the 3' it shoulda been??

Snowtel reporting something like 10" @29% up there since yesterday. Wow.

This probably belongs in some kind of unlikely TRG vortex thread, but here's a too-on-the-nose counterpoint: a few years ago a good friend, 40ish, was working at that facility and it became the straw...

Was the VW's parking job as bad as it looks in the pic?

Because if it was all the decent human beings of society could probably sign off on all the underlined words without irony.

You keep your ski area car pretty stripped down, then?

This one was trying to get donations for pandas, I guess. Yours is better.

Hopefully going better at Silver. To the north the snow is already pretty sun affected unless you stick to the shade up high and tomorrow the snow level is supposed to go up over 5k' so it might be a...

Needs a camera for decent targeting, right? Same range issue?

Stellar couple weeks. As powder malaise and lactic acid set in I've started reminding myself that if someone doesn't flatten all these high spots they might not be smooth for the next reset....

Delores!!

In the most literal sense, apparently, yes:

Fair point. I was thinking of the relative publicity created by those feeding Skidog's echo chamber as the more bad-faith "mistake" but that example is solid.

We had some discussion of the problem with claiming mandates=masks in one of these threads last year. But to be fair to the non-maggots at Cochrane, they did mention right in the text:

"Adherence...

What if Rodgers has already decided to retire and this whole thing is an elaborate way to troll Brett Favre?

Mean might mean average and average might mean mean, but average doesn't necessarily mean mean (or even man.. sorry, there was pow) just like mean doesn't necessarily mean average. Mean could mean...

Just take the L and reassess your news feed. This doubling down is beneath you.

By average, do you mean the man or the median? Cause those have to get very different guesses.

It's not just the right, Russia pushed that narrative to all their tankies. It was a pivotal moment for Tulsi, too.

Now you're just being intentionally obtuse. There's a difference between publicly saying exactly what we're doing and letting a bunch of Russian conscripts pack the research materials into washing...

If by "weapons" you mean naturally occurring biological threats, then yes, I would assume so.

But you don't have to assume, you can actually look into it. There's a lot of data out there about...

Seriously? You can't think of any reason why the tools and subjects of biological threat research might be dangerous in Russian hands? Have you still not heard of Holodomor? Have you not noticed that...

I'd prefer that Nuland use a secure line. Otherwise I see nothing wrong with what she said. It shows she had opinions. Which anyone as informed as she was should. It's certainly not evidence of US...

I don't remember those things quite like you do, I don't think. You have some links you can post?

You generally do a pretty good job of hugging the line and making other people call you names, but...

I'm just thankful for this important thread.

I don't want to blow up your narrative of my ultimate prescience, but in the hot take you mention I hadn't yet noticed a reason for Russia to commit to a permanent action: it removed the carrot from...

Ukraine is small relative to the only 3 countries the Russian "multi-polar" view recognizes. The irony of Russia claiming to defend a "multi-polar" world order is a pro-level cope.

So we all know that both natural sources and lab leaks are possible. Good.

At the risk of going back a year and a half (or more) I'm just gonna point out the obvious: if there was a lab leak then...

Leading theory sounds like they would try to hold on while the ratio held up but that it hadn't been so lopsided as the flanks have been taken over by Russian advances. Foggy, though.

You're describing the ultimate in reactive approaches and advocating experience bias. If we have 3 possible ways for something bad to happen we shouldn't only try to prevent the one with the most...

It's better not to assume there's some logical connection between where it came from and how to respond to it. This thread contains ample evidence that a significant minority said "It came from a...
