Yeah I posted his baby picture a day or three after he was born. He’s a junior so this is a decent time. He should have applications in by October or so. So this year and summer are the time for trips. He’s been to LSE, University College London, McGill, and Concordia in Montreal. I’m taking him to UBC Vancouver, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and UCSD. Next month we have an event in Boston so we’ll visit BU while we’re there. In April his mom takes him to Toronto, Michigan, Northwestern, and U Chicago. Later this year we’ll do day trips to Cornell and Penn. Might add Duke to the list not sure yet.

Trump makes our TV soaps seem dull. You couldn't write this stuff...

on the move side, there is a way for me to extricate myself from all things California, so as to not have to continue to pay state taxes there for the rest of my life though I am living in Italy. California is known as a "sticky" state, and there are certain things one must show as proof that you have moved out of California into another state. The whole living in Italy does not meet this requirement. So, since I have friends and family in the state right next door, Nevada, where there is no state tax, I have already gained permission from one of these friends, to use his address as my new home address in the states. I also need to drive over there and apply for a Nevada drivers license. I need to register to vote in the state of nevada. I need to open up a local bank account with a local bank there. I need to take myself off of all things associated with california. If I can accomplish all this in my short time span here, I can permanently avoid state taxes for life. And all of this is legal and on the up and up. Renting out my home here in California actually helps bolster their belief I have moved away as I now have no home I can return to in California while it;s being rented out. Of course California will still tax my income from this rental but that can be offset greatly with write offs.

You can all @mik lazy, I call him efficient and medium smart.

I wonder if Pretti's family will also file a wrongful death suit, too.

@jon-nyc said in Sports Betting vs. Predicting Market: Wow. Trump puts together a new CFTC advisory committee that includes traditional exchanges and depositories, brokers, crypto platforms, prediction markets, and even sports books. And one well connected VC firm. No IRL casinos, seems to be an oversight. https://x.com/breccastoll/status/2022044711670952299?s=46 He doesn’t need anyone from a casino, he has himself, concha know…

Could easily lay some blame at the feet of the self-righteous covid hawks who couldn't get enough of jamming vaccines down everybody's throat. Like it or not, this is part of the backlash, and it's hardly obvious that any of that was a good idea, now or at the time. To whatever extent this is even a blameworthy event. Not everybody is hyper focused on private industry finding profitable cures for rare diseases.

There’s a new middle school and elementary school being built in about 4 years. It’s in a rural area but likely surrounded by subdivisions eventually. I’d love to buy the land near it and make a billion gajillion dollars. Sadly that’s as far as I’ll go about it…posting about it on TNCR.

I guess not really a meme, but a Ukranian skeleton athlete was disqualified before starting because he wanted to wear a helmet that showed Ukranian athletes who were killed in the invasion by Russia. I understand the Olympics in this area. I do think that they have to have rules about what would be allowed on a uniform.
