Whatever you subsidise...

Is this enough temptation for you to cross the northern border illegally?

Grocery inflation.

The buyer is going to eat it.

@George-K said in Some Prokofiev:

Though a bit slower, it seems to have the rhythmicity and power that the piece needs.

It is too slow. No, it does not have the rhythmicity or power that the piece needs.

It shouldn't be hard to say Gould or Sokolov played a piano piece badly.

Just listen to Argerich or Wang for this piece and be done with it. Heck, even Lang Lang and most Cliburn competitors play this piece better than Gould and Sokolov.

@LuFins-Dad said in The Bitcoin/Crypto Thread:

So I am at a 250% return… Cash out or let it ride?

Cash out the original invested amount, then let the "house money" ride.

Maybe invest the cashed out money in a mining rig.

No problem arresting CCP operatives, assuming they have broken some law or have done/planned something to harm the USA.

Why is an executive order needed, though? Can law enforcement not arrest them following existing law using regular law enforcement procedures?

5 would be awkward. You’re likely to wake up with TuCa reaching across you giving Putin a hand job.

Could be worse ... TuCa could hunch across you.

2, 4, 7, or 10 - I typically prefer aisle seats.

@jon-nyc said in RFK for HHS gets its own thread:

FYI they say ‘Cray-po’ not ‘Crap-o’

My first instinct was to say CrÂpo.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have bid adieu to the United States ... and Donald Trump's election win was the driving force ...

Usually I find the European (and Mediterranean) treatment to raw fish often over-marinate with citrus juices, to the point where the sourness of the citrus juices overwhelms the raw fish's natural taste. As far as raw fish goes, more frequently than not, I prefer sashimi to crudo or carpaccio.

Wasn't there supposed some Amazon tribe that was run by women?

You thinking about the Amazons of Themyscira?

"Trump vows to use US military for mass deportations"

@jon-nyc said in Jon could still be in the running...:

I was going to be ok with Lutnik. I hope whomever he picks has treasury market experience.

More likely whoever is first to suggest putting Trump's likeness on a large denomination dollar bill.

@Copper said in President-Elect Trump's cabinet:

When finally assembled, could Mr. Trump's cabinet team picture surpass this one? Yes!

Maybe Trump's cabinet will be more diverse.

No idea if ChatGPT or some other generative AI is involved.
