“I love it!” -Frank Dreben

We’re 100% certain there was only one lobotomy?

Projects will have a budget that will have an expected return on investment (ROI) over a fixed period of time for private sector. Public projects raise a bond, and you can’t exceed the bond.

Raise steel 10-25% and you can blow past the budget window, because steel construction parts go up to match. Create uncertainty about the future market, and your ROI calculation is toast.

It frustrates me when people say “well just buy american steel,” as if people were not already buying american steel as well as foreign. Now there’s not enough steel so prices go up. There’s no strategic pile of steel reserve. If a store normally sells 100 apples a day and suddenly there are 76, would you say “just buy american apples” when the price went up and there were shortages?

After they feed I assume they’re a little warm…

There was a website at some point that would put up themed meeting phrases each week, with points if anyone used them and caught it. I still remember a few of them.

“I don’t want a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, I expect a pot of uranium.”

“We either play barbie or go home. I didn’t get come here today to be Skipper.”

“I don’t say we build a barbie dream house, I want use to build a barbie on ecstasy house.”

“Is this a queen alien problem? Or more of a face hugger we can ignore for a while?”

Hey, I do some electrical stuff. I would strongly suspect steel is the reason this isn’t economic, because I’m hearing copper is actually going down.

Yeah construction is still pretty bad around your federal building, that whole block could be closed for… years. Water main, you understand.

If that’s on the list add The Maxx

Quiet quitting by blue states.

Are you saying a raccoon from Ohio wouldn’t be expected to have a pipe?

Ever since the ocean was invented, naval combat vessels have focused on staying above the water. While some may claim this excludes submarines, this in fact accounts for the fact a submarine is not a naval combat vessel, it is a torpedo-storage container full of gay men.

However, recent trends in russian naval tactics have seen their black sea fleet deploying under the ocean, using its depths to hide like the fragile and majestic octopus. Deep ocean ship deployments have been increasing over the parts few years, and offer a benefit of excellent cover, stable positioning, and - bonus - resupply needs greatly reduce as well.

Naval aviators tend to hate the ocean, because it is not the air, but as navies redeploy their fleets underwater (there are rumors india and pakistan may soon experiment with this technology), the only answer is deploy air assets to watch them.

All of them are publicity stunted.

Trading stops at the end of day, for accounting purpose. Some traders can still access over-the-counter trades but they are not required to be reported (if I remember correctly) until sometime in the morning of the market they’re made in. You will see some price movement when London and the DAX open.

Watch futures for a good price estimate. ES for SPY and NQ for Nasdaq.

So are they going after the assembly line workers, or the design engineers first?

You’re too old, Mike, pick someone to endorse and stop trying to run.

I know someone exactly like trump, who said the same thing about work he had me spend 3 days working on when it was inconvenient to admit the truth. I do not doubt at all that trump ordered this and threw hegseth under the bus.
