@Horace said in So you signed a million dollar deal with a record label...: Yeah but how many shares of Apple could have been bought. Adjusted for splits, Apple stock had an average price of about 0.4893 USD per share. $250 per week translates to about 511 shares of (post-split) Apple stock per week in 1992. Today (2020-10-16), 511 shares of Apple stock is worth about 29,800 USD.

@Loki said in Pfizer asks for emergency authorization for vaccine: @Doctor-Phibes said in Pfizer asks for emergency authorization for vaccine: @Loki said in Pfizer asks for emergency authorization for vaccine: Why would we not give it to people in nursing homes today?

The actual dream is to have something mildly aggravating happen and then sue them for emotional turmoil caused.

Is he healthy? He's not looked good for ages. If I was him, I'd be hunkering down.

I'll do that this evening when I've got more time. It will take a while to type it out. Right now I've got to take my car to the body shop so they can take pictures of the damage for the other guy's insurance adjuster.

Amazing photos.

Actually, the whole mess plays into the Fake News! wheelhouse.

I think Tiger Stadium is a great idea. Open air is just much better.

@Loki said in No, not one.: For Giuliani it is now or never. I have no idea if Rudy's right or wrong. However, his whole demeanor seems to be a bit...extreme these days. He might or might not be a whackadoodle, but he sure comes off like one lately.
