Surly #Stonks
As the quote goes, This is our concern, Dude. I know I'm overexposed, but I don't see an investment option that's even close. 18 months ago I had a diversified portfolio, and it wasn't doing jack. The realization that these stock were responsible for a huge part of the growth in the market led me to where I am. I feel like a gambler who won a good size pot and is now addicted. Triple digit returns has skewed my perception of what good is. I think my best option is to Update my lower sell limits orders again and sit tight.

Any body else own the Magnificent 7 stocks. Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia). I own all but Tesla, as well as XLK and SMH sector funds which have huge percentages of those same. I've seem multiple articles like this one saying the party is over: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/why-the-magnificent-7s-momentum-is-collapsing-160309358.html Yes, they have had a correction and are almost flat the last couple months, but I still think they are all going to hit new highs in the next few months. Most are on fire today, except Meta thanks to Zuck talking too much on their earnings call. Curious what others are thinking about them. https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec

World's Largest Dumpster Fire or, What the Fuck is Wrong with you, India?
20-some years ago when I worked for a Fortune 500 Tech company, the VP of Engineering took 3-week visit to our offices in India. Nothing unusual about that, except he chose to ignore all the recommendations for Vaccines boosters. He got something nasty and was out for almost six months. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4896562/

Qualcomm do something sleezy and unethical? No one would believe that.

Qualcomm faces benchmark cheating allegations — Snapdragon X Elite/Plus benchmarks claimed to be fraudulent https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/qualcomm-faces-benchmark-cheating-allegations-snapdragon-x-eliteplus-benchmarks-claimed-to-be-fraudulent#xenforo-comments-3843099 The allegations: Qualcomm has not been forthcoming with detailed specs of their chip. OEMs reported poor performance with samples - sometimes 50% slower; other times much more. An insider at Qualcomm claims they cooked the benchmarking, Time will tell.

San Marcos/Buda/Kyle
Kyle, like San Marcos, Leander, and a few other places has decided that their best path to becoming a better place is to get big. Growth and development is impressive. But like most places, it's just the same stores and strip malls. Nothing new or interesting. Kyle bills itself as the Pie Capitol of Texas....all because of one store that has a big pie sign and mediocre pie. It's worth trying, but it's not going to blow you away. There is a big college stadium a few hours east of Austin named after a member of the family that founded Kyle. Cabela's is enjoyable to kill a couple hours in (if you're a guy). The Kyle Fire Department is very good. That is pretty much all I know about Buda/Kyle.

- The Wang of Consequences: lubed or not? What becomes of Trump in 2024
I wish Trump would go away. I don't want him to get elected again. But the Fucking Democrats are running a guy who wants us to choose Freedom over Democracy. This was 5 days ago. You can't make this shit up.- The Wang of Consequences: lubed or not? What becomes of Trump in 2024
Just about everyone is head and shoulder above Trump. But Biden has to be on the same stage with Trump in one or more National Debates. You feeling good about those debates?- The Wang of Consequences: lubed or not? What becomes of Trump in 2024
Biden from 4 years ago isn't running in this election. His cognitive skills appear to have diminished far more than Trumps. He was always a gaffe machine, but have you heard or seen him talk (or walk) lately? He looks old, frail and not all there.- The Wang of Consequences: lubed or not? What becomes of Trump in 2024
If it were Trump versus any slightly moderate Democrat, Trump would probably lose in a landslide. But it's Trump vs Biden. FUCK ME. 350 Million people in the US and we have to pick one of these two.- RIP Dickey Betts
As much as I venture into modern music, I was raised on guitar-based blues-rock and always cycle back to it. Betts was one of the giants for me. I have an mp3 of a live version of In memory of Liz Reed that I don't even know where it came from, but it's probably one of my top 5 recordings all-time. Master musicians improvising at the highest level possible. RIP- Conan O'Brien Must Go
I felt like his talk show style just got old and tired (at least for me), but this looks like it could be worth watching.- PSA: Macy’ Sale on Tuxedos $109
The $109 Tux from Macy's came in yesterday. My old expensive tux on the left and the new $109 Macy's slim-fit Tux on the right. Not tux shoes, and the new pants aren't altered yet, but yeah, that's worth a hundred bucks to me. I feel like MC Hammer in the old tux; there's probably 50% more fabric in those pants.. I'm sure in 30 years we'll look at the current slim-fit suits with the same dis-like, but live in the moment. hat tip to OP.- PSA: Macy’ Sale on Tuxedos $109
Damn straight, 'cause...- Doctor at UTHSC at Houston under investigation for manipulating liver transplant patient list
Basically Jobs refused to have surgery when they found the cancer by chance very early on and it was still treatable. Alt medicine didn't do diddly and when he did go for the surgery like six or nine months later, it had spread and was no longer really treatable. Similar to the King or England who is treating his cancer with "herbs and potions". Good luck with that. As for Dr. Bynon, the transplant doctor in this thread, I have a gut feeling that it's not going to turn out to be just because he thought someone else had a better chance. I'm guessing that all the people he moved down are going to have something in common: They're going to be all blacks, or all women, or all liberals, or something like that that is going to make the good doctor look much worse.- PSA: Macy’ Sale on Tuxedos $109
I bought my last tux in 1993. I wore it a year ago and I hate the style. It was fine in the '90s but loose fit legs and a full break just looks like an old man tux. (I may in fact be an old man, but I work my ass off to be in shape and if I want was dress like a dumb-ass 30-something, then Fuck you, I'm doing it.) There's a 50/50 chance it doesn't fit, but for $119 it's worth the shot.- 2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
OMG, the NASA TV coverage is as bad as you indicated..."Let's take a look at how the people of Kerrville have been preparing." No, let's not. It's like when Olympic TV coverage cuts to human interest stories rather than covering, I don't know, maybe Olympic Events.- 2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready

Latest Satellite cloud layer from wunderground.com Folks out in Marble Falls might get lucky and catch part of the 50-mile-wide gap in the clouds that is near Fredericksburg right now, but everyone else in Cen Tex looks out of luck.- 2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready

- Monkey Torture?! WTF is wrong with people?
To me this seemed so over-the-top that it seems like a piss-poor attempt at a fake Onion type article. So I Googled it... Not only is it real. The BBC broke this story last June. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-65951188 The 'new' part is that he was finally charged. Some people just suck.- from the "holy shit, I'm old" department, Rockford Files premiered 50 years ago
I've seen a million episodes of Rockford Files, but I couldn't I remember exactly when I watched them. I was just slightly too young for first-air primetime viewing. Wikipedia conveniently had the answer: The free-range children of the early '80s watched whatever we wanted on afternoon TV. (Of course since we didn't have cable, there was Gillian's Island, Hogan's Heroes, and the Rockford Files.) Also, my memory of Beth Davenport was that she was much hotter than what Google Images indicates. - The Wang of Consequences: lubed or not? What becomes of Trump in 2024
