re: I knew the results of this TX Proposition would piss me off...

You do realize that the summaries printed on the ballot are written by the people who want the proposition to pass, right? Of course it will sound reasonable.
Huh? As long as the summaries state the purpose of the proposition is, what do I care about WHO wrote the summaries and whether or not they want the proposition to pass. And in response to you saying of course the proposition sounds reasonable....well about 900K people think it isn't reasonable so I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say.

for some reason
For some reason? What the hell do you mean for some reason? You say that if parents are irrational for thinking they should be the sole decision makers for the child(ren) they procreated!
quote:
The amendment added language to the state constitution to provide that parents have the right "to exercise care, custody, and control of the parent’s child, including the right to make decisions concerning the child’s upbringing" and the responsibility "to nurture and protect the parent's child."[3]
At the time of the election, Texas was one of 26 states that had a Parents’ Bill of Rights in state law. The law provided that parents have the right to access their child's student records, copies of state assessments, and teaching materials, among other provisions.[4]
Voting against the bold text that was amended and added to the state constitution is WILD to me!

Drug addicts is the only thing i could possibly think of.
I voted against it exactly for this reason
For the sake of debate, my rebuttal would be that CPS stepping in at that point is exactly what should happen. That’s the system working as intended. The addict’s family should step up and handle their business too.
Why should one drug addict’s situation dictate your blanket opinion that all parents shouldn’t be the primary decision makers? This proposition isn’t about one extreme case. You’re letting the bottom of the barrel example shape your whole view without thinking about the ripple effects for normal, capable parents.
If you’ve got kids, you’re stable, and you’re a functioning adult in society why the frick would you ever be okay with someone else having the power to override any decision about your kid?

Proposition 15
“The constitutional amendment affirming that parents are the primary decision makers for their children.”
FOR: 2,065,714
AGAINST: 890,983 :angry:
I’m open to hearing reasonable and logical explanations for voting against, but they would need to be extremely compelling to change my mind. My wife and I became first time parents this year, and I simply cannot imagine anyone dictating decisions about our kid without our knowledge or consent. It truly baffles me how nearly a million people could feel otherwise.
I understand that not all parents are equally capable or fortunate, and that there are complex situations that require outside involvement. However, we already have systems in place such as CPS for cases where third-party or legal intervention is necessary.
I’m also curious how many of those 890,983 votes came from individuals who either don’t have children or had horrible relationships with their parents.
Again, I’m willing to listen to opposing views, as long as they don’t fall under circumstances that would already justify legal or protective action through established services like CPS.

re: Breaking News: NVDA takes $1B stake in NOK (Nokia).
Posted by Snoopy04 on 11/5/25 at 11:03 am to StonewallJack
if it's positive movement my guess would be in the 10-12% range. if it's negative it could be downward of 15-18%
my concern is the NVDA stake is already priced in, but surprise guidance could propel it higher.
just my 2 cents :cheers:

My off the cuff response is because it is tied with NVDA. NVDA moves all needles in the current state of the market

Expand the chart more than a day. Up 11% last 5 days and 52% on the month as of this post.
Not saying there have not been big swings up and down, but that's what you get with speculative plays. Plenty of red days to come, with some being larger than what we may want, but it will be the same for green days. Stomach the swings or get out when you have your next opportunity.

Flying cars? Never gonna happen
I get your skepticism, but I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the possibilities. You say we’ll never have “flying cars,” but the U.S. sees roughly 45,000 flights a day. It’s hard to believe that a fair number of those flights couldn’t eventually be handled by the “flying cars” you’re writing off.
There’s definitely a long road ahead, but I don’t see this as a zero-sum or no-win play as of right now.
You should be able to find some previous threads on it as well as on what seems to be it's most notable competitor, Archer.
I’ve dabbled in both but I’ve stuck with Archer. Mainly because of its partnership with Palantir, which is my golden dome... I mean golden child right now. :usa:
Joby has seen bigger jumps in SP than Archer, but Archer’s had a solid few weeks of its own.
This whole air taxi (The Jetsons-esque) hype is a tricky one to play. If you’re interested, dig a bit deeper into both companies and either go all in on one or spread your risk across the two. Or if you find any other similar companies, share the knowledge.
Good Luck. :cheers:
eta -- here are some notes I've gathered (Archer heavy)
I think once either of these companies starts generating meaningful revenue, both could see a major jump in valuation. The one that reports first will probably get the bigger short-term spike, while the other might dip temporarily. But if the broader industry proves itself, there’s a good chance both end up doing well over time.

eta -- here are some notes I've gathered (Archer heavy)
quote:
*The FAA has initiated programs to fast-track electric air taxi testing in U.S. cities, lowering regulatory friction.
*Archer (and Joby) have joined the White House’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (eIPP) to test commercial air taxi operations in select localities, linking them formally with regulators and community pilots.
*Archer has teamed with Stellantis (for manufacturing), United Airlines (for route development / infrastructure), and other aerospace names, which can help with scale, credibility, and market access.
*Archer’s “Midnight” aircraft recently completed a ~55-mile piloted flight (31 minutes at >126 mph) — its longest yet. That’s a strong validation of its performance envelope.
*Joby has backing from Toyota, Uber, Delta (and others) which help with capital, manufacturing knowledge, distribution / ride-share integration, and credibility.
*Joby is seen by many as farther along in the FAA certification path compared to peers.
