:lol: Saks? The global company that just filed for bankruptcy last month after its retarded acquisition of Neiman Marcus, who hasnt paid the bills for some time from all their locations? They closed a Neiman Marcus in Boston in the same set of moves.
It must be exhausting to hate nola so much, just move and get on with your life buddy.

Depends, are you a guy that misses monday often? Wait until tomorrow morning. Are you not? Then text them now.
Youre probably in a more critical role if the latter is true anyway.

so I long to see more manufacturing here.
US Manufacturers were net negatively impacted by tariffs. Manufacturing is turning primary materials into finished goods. Increasing the cost across the board for all primary materials only in the US, in no way helps manufacturing here. some foreign manufacturing firms may be opening new facilities inside the US to assemble here and dodge tariffs, but im not really sure how that helps "US manufacturing".
Now primary producers may have more reason to open up smelters, etc, but they wont in any significance, because it takes too long and there will be another president and it might not be profitable. Just read about century aluminum shuttering another smelter permanently last week. Sure theres some plans on paper for some new smelters 3 or 4 years from now, I doubt they ever get completed and operational.

It seems to me that expectations are so universally negative for this thing; ive actually come around to it thinking it may pleasantly suprise.

Looks like hes squeezing the kids pants and pointing at the gatorade coming out and i would assume telling the kid, "that's a good gatorade bath, look at all this"
But after careful, tedious, frame by frame analysis, consultations with the experts, and exploration of multiple comment theads to decide which team i want to be on; hes a pedo, something michael jackson?

Im sure there was still nightlife in every society right up until the end. I went deep down a rabbit hole one time about the french night club scene throughout ww2 and occupation.

re: Why is it a good thing for very stupid and uninformed people to vote?
Posted by Pendulum on 2/14/26 at 8:28 am to burger bearcat
Its only a good thing if you promise free shite so they're going to vote for you.
I tend to believe with MMT being in the driver seat, the only relief valve they cant fix will be inflation. They can plug every other hole, but all roads will lead to inflation. When pressed to choose the least painful path, inflation will always be the choice for humans as it has been for empire after empire. (See ray dalio)
I'm not quite sure what to expect a market crash caused by inflation to look like. Seems like it would be fine for asset prices and then it would just be the end. Another question is how does that end come if every other currency is also experiencing relative inflation.
I'm trying to find a MERV chart that goes back to the 1980s.

I guess you could say hes done that here.
I would assume major wins are held by people married with kids in an insane majority vs single without kids.
I thought it was healthy to see the US10yr drop yield when the market was pulling back like that. I thought I read on here in that gold thread that US treasuries were done!
re: Will the Bitcoin selling start accelerating?

I don't have a problem with your assessment.
My point wasn't that BTC is foolproof long term and everyone should buy. It was just pointing out how no one should take advice to heart from this thread and base any short term decision making on panic or anti-btc knight dunking, and that money talk overall is not a good place to make short term decisions on.
People were typing things like "best to just cut your losses, it's going to zero one way or another" at the absolute bottom almost exactly of an insane intraday move. If anyone took that post to heart, they lost money vs waiting like an hour.
Whenever I see clear examples of this on money talk, I like to point it out. Maybe someone will lose less money in the future on a different crash with that seedling in their head.
I mean, I'm pretty much just reposting one of the most famous sayings in investing coined by Buffet, sue me.
For ref: I had about 7% of my total investible wealth in BTC at EOY 2025. It's less now :lol: However, I only had one sell order on BTC this year, the one I mentioned this morning. It seemed pretty obvious to me, yesterday was not the day to sell. When I see an intraday chart like that, I'm thinking buy or nothing.

I was reading this thread yesterday evening right after work, and scrolled past just one too many "going to zero" posts and antibtc knights taking victory laps; it peaked out in this thread almost exactly as btc bottomed at 60k and violently bounced of 60k on the dot. Kept going to the chart and then back to this thread for another victory post and i couldnt stop myself, I bought some btc at 62k and just sold it for a nice 7-8%. I already have alot and I havent sold anything I owned before yesterday.
This board is an amazing anti-sentiment indicator, you can find bottoms on any asset in real time. By the time you read any sentiment here in concentrated volume, its time to take the other side of the trade.
I would honestly be buying more. The only thing thats really changed in my mind about btc in last year is quantum is increasingly becoming a realistic thing that will happen eventually. Holding over a long enough timeline for the scarcity math is a little more tricky now.

Also a lot easier to find an offramp for your average retail investor
Well the company as a whole and thus the stock is not completely predicated and valued on whether or not gta vi is a blockbuster. Not a proper comparison.
Gta VI could be the worst game Rockstar has released and it will break all records.
re: Anyone try the new Callaway Quantum driver yet?
Posted by Pendulum on 2/3/26 at 11:49 am to BigNastyTiger417
I've never had a Callaway Driver, but I just got fitted for a Quantum Max driver couple weeks ago. Was playing a Ping 410 with a project hazardous smoke black S shaft, thought it was time to see what the current gen tech could do for me, and someone had given me gift cards and my driver was the oldest gen club in my bag.
Went from about 235-245 (1.4-1.45 smash) carry to a insanely consistent 250-255 (1.5+ smash) with about 105mph swing speed. Also got fitted for a custom shaft, Graphite Design Tour AD HD-5 Stiff. (impossible for me to tell you if the shaft made a bigger diff than the head, but it's a pricey shaft) I hit every single 2026 head on the same shaft, and this Quantum max consistently was the best distance dispersion and highest carry. JPX1 actually felt pretty good too as well as a cobra head. I went in there wanting to buy a Qi4D but I just couldn't get good results with that one, felt like a really tight sweet spot I couldn't quite find, easily the worst data of all the heads I hit and I really wanted to like it. Also hit a GT2 which I believe I hit the single longest drive with, but the dispersion was all over the place. The new ping driver felt good and the dispersion was really tight, but I was giving up like 10-15 carry yds vs the quantum easy. Hit all 4 quantum heads, MAX just gave me best data. Honestly kept trying to find another head I liked bc I was not in love with the look but kept going back to the MAX head and it felt amazing.
The guy who fitted me said 90% of people end up with one of the quantum heads if they are really open to any brand since he's gotten the 2026 heads in. Says its the best offering in this gen in his opinion.
We'll see how it translates to the course in about a week.
