@Copper said in How about that market?: @Mik said in How about that market?: How are your investments looking? I’m only down 3.6% from my high. How is that looking today? Lots of stocks on sale today. Might be further discounted in the coming weeks, too.

Those look fantastic. I assume it's an intentional foodie thing to not make them round?

@Mik said in Bunker Boy: @jon-nyc said in Bunker Boy: Yeah, Mik, that would be the normal view. I think if Trump hadn’t responded to the story with ‘no no no I was just inspecting it’ there would have been no comment. It’s Trump’s blaring insecurities that are being mocked, not the fact that he was in the bunker. Can you honestly blame the man with the treatment he has received? Yes. When you say that Floyd, while dead, would be happy because employment numbers are good, you're trolling about half of the American public. So yeah it's his fault he's hated so much.

@Improviso said in Gone is "Gone With The Wind.": The lead character, Guy Montag, is a fireman who becomes disillusioned with his role of censoring literature and destroying knowledge, eventually quitting his job and committing himself to the preservation of literary and cultural writings."*** These days, anybody committed enough to counter-culture causes that they'd drop everything to devote their lives to fight the system, have convenient mobs they can join instead. They don't have to risk anything, and they even gain social credibility among their friends and coworkers! This is a wonderful efficiency our modern society has built into itself. Now anybody can be a courageous superhero, worthy of having books written about them, just by joining a mob!

@89th yeah that’s what I remembered

ooh, ooh

@George-K said in SARS-CoV-2 cases surge: @Jolly that was my thought as well. Perhaps hospitalizations? I think the metric for "severe" is "needs hospitalization." You can be sick as fuck, but if you don't meet certain criteria, stay home and you're not "severe." Yeah, hospitalizations is what I look at.

As usual Ax, you miss the entire point.

I think I hit a Q#.....

@Horace said in Comfort foods: Mesquite grilled steak. Some good cake for dessert. By "good" I mean something dense and moist, not that airy dry stuff with a half inch of icing you can find at every office birthday party. Yuck. If you like coconut, there is nothing like a sour cream coconut cake made from fresh coconuts, with the milk folded into the batter. [image: picvVq1PR.jpg]

Trump is one person with a shtick. The left continues to careen off the rails as a group, displaying everything wrong and pathetic with the human psyche.

Just before the fall of Rome the Roman government had taken to driving a wagon through the city filled with money, and throwing money òut of the wagon to the citizens. We now call it a stimulus.

I think it might be time to recall the thing about bleeding and leading. The MSM is reveling right now; how reflective of the reals is what they are trumpeting all over the place? Are we being big dummies by rushing hither and yon over every latest headline? Are we confusing the map with the territory?

Beautiful!

These organized, structured combatants are trying to overthrow the government of the United States by any means necessary. They are succeeding. Imagine if the SDS, Black Panthers, Symbionese Liberation Army and the Weathermen had the internet.

Add this statistic - every year over half of black babies are murdered by abortion.
