@Doctor-Phibes said in Now we know why SVB failed: Is it too late to blame Hitler? Because that guy was an asshole. Their risk management officer committed $5B to eco. Don't think Hitler did that...Although he created a lot of fertilizer.

@George-K said in The Backbone: "The service is moving from a three-bomber fleet to a two-bomber fleet, as the B-2 Sprit and B-1 Lancer will come offline in favor of the B-21." They're keeping the Buff. ETA: Amazing. What an airframe - a projected lifespan of a century. Has any other airframe met that standard? Folks still fly Piper Cubs everyday.

Not in my neck of the woods.

Couldn't be hard all of the time, could it?

Yep. They will look at modern medicine like we view Civil War battlefield docs. “They poisoned people to cure cancer!”.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Checked your bank stocks this morning?: Some of us can't afford bank stocks. All my investments are in turnip futures, and let me tell you, turnips are currently pretty much worth their weight in potatoes!

@LuFins-Dad said in Her Next Piano: It's not worth rehabbing the Kawai. At least, that's my take... I bow to your superior knowledge.

@Jolly said in Taibbi Speaks: If anybody actually watched some of those hearings last week, it was painfully obvious that the Dem members hated free speech. A hatred of rational discourse, or a hatred of ideas that might betray one’s own basic primate motivations of power and status, will always manifest as hatred of free speech. That’s why legitimately thoughtful people prize it so much.

Brilliant analogy.

He is an interesting and thoughtful guy. Not living life trapped in the primate motivations many celebrities never escape from. He’s written some fiction books about Sherlock Holmes’ smarter brother, of all things.

@Mik lol

Send it to this guy.. Link to video

Figured out the oddity... The app was set up to show the annualized return over a three year period. Three years ago the stock market was having it's COVID spasms and was all over the place...

@xenon said in 'Too good to be true' bike deal: Worked out great! Met the guy at his house. He bought the bike during COVID to ride with his boys, and the boys weren’t interested in biking anymore. He gave me a bunch of extra tools and threw in his $85 bike lock. He had the original manual and all. Funny enough my son getting his first real bike prompted me to buy this.

"So, I think it's fair to say that Brexit has really delivered..."
