    It’s probably illegal under Ontario law but it is definitely unconstitutional. It will be challenged and Waterloo will have to retract. Edit: I see the posting is dated June 2025. I’ll see if I can find out where this went.

    Berkshire Hathaway, which has the odd tradition of reporting on Saturday mornings, turned in a real flop. Profits down 30%. But the stock has been garbage for a while, so maybe this was priced in. It'll be interesting what it does on Monday. I don't know how anybody justifies to themselves buying BRK when the executives of BRK, with an enormous cash pile, refuse to buy their own shares. If you believe in BRK because you think it's a wisely run business, then ironically you shouldn't be buying their stock.

    The guy at my gym was doing 1200+. But they were not particularly short movement. It was impressive considering I only do 375.

    Chicken livers wrapped in bacon is a favorite T-Day appetizer for me, and I have no problems with a fried beef liver with onions, though it has to be warm.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/us/politics/us-birthrate-decline-women.html The birthdate declines most for (1) the less educated women, (2) the financially poorer women, and (3) the teenagers; especially the teenagers, their pregnancy rate dropped BIGLY. That's good , because they are the ones least prepared to be parents. Now women in their 30s and 40s are the ones with the highest birth rates. Pregnancies are higher risks for older women, but they are also the ones more ready to be parents -- financially and psychologically.

    said in The Epstein File: It’s not the headline above but in the video Lutnick says he and Epstein were a ‘one and done’. He says he met him once and immediately recognized this guy was a pervert and stayed away. Files say differently. https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/2020829280414970018?s=46 https://x.com/osint613/status/2027472961574179124?s=46

    This is from 10 years ago... https://www.theguardian.com/cities/the-northerner/2016/jun/20/forgotten-neighbourhood-gorton-manchester-decline-urban-regeneration Living there in the 80's was just awful. Quite a lot of Manchester improved substantially after the IRA did the city a big favour and blew up the city center in 1996, but the improvements didn't extend that far.
