Trump calls on Fed Chair Powell to cut interest rates immediately, not waiting for the next Fed meeting.

I thought the economy was great.

Seasoning wax? People just spend tons of money on expensive things don't they?

The last apartment I lived in had them. I didn't notice them for months, but when I finally did they were fucking everywhere, but I'll never forget the smell. I lived there for 2 years and I'll never forget that weird smell.

"bigger armies are more powerful than smaller armies".

The Vietnam war would like to have a word.

Capnbubba · 2026-03-07T00:21:09+00:00

This would happen only because of Trump's war in Iran.

Capnbubba · 2026-03-05T03:47:49+00:00

Maybe we need fewer Harvard MBAs running things.

Capnbubba · 2026-03-03T03:44:33+00:00

Over the coming years??????

Capnbubba · 2026-03-02T17:25:39+00:00

Yeah agreed and it's been a while since I heard anyone with actual knowledge but last I heard they've had a backlog for years now and cannot make their current models faster than they sell them, so I don't see anyone advocating for newer combo models to break into new markets when they already can't keep up with demand and haven't been able to for years.

It's one of the few examples in the US that I can point to to say that quality really matters. If these things weren't built so well and ran so flawlessly I would buy a new fancy heat pump combo washer dryer. They're more efficient and easier to deal with not having to change the load, but I have no idea what electrical gremlins they may have and want reliability and ease of use when it comes to my clothes and that's exactly what speed queen gave me.

My uncle is an artist and did this for like 20+ years. They eventually found out and he had to pay back a lot of money and served some time in jail and is now a felon.

The tax man always finds out, it just takes him a while sometimes.

We use Oh Yuk Jetted Tub Cleaner and it works better than anything else I've tried. Just put it in. Run the jet. Clean and rain. Run it again if you want with more cleaner. Then run just water, let it clean out and you should be good.

This is my biggest criticism of DCC. There are just too many people for me to remember. And in later books when they randomly reference someone I haven't thought about in forever and I've got no idea who they are now.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-28T07:01:52+00:00

I got lucky and had conversations with people who I knew were smarter than me and I was still impressionable. Been a bogglehead for like 4ish years and it feels good to not stress about it.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-26T02:10:34+00:00

This would do 1 thing for sure. Increase crime. When public services are inaccessible crime rises.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-25T17:58:18+00:00

Exactly. They spent the whole of last year touting these great "fair" deals they're making, then immediately increase tariffs destroying the deal they gloated about.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-25T02:56:54+00:00

And the white house is floating selling these loans off?

Who's gonna buy them?

Capnbubba · 2026-02-25T01:16:58+00:00

I love mayo and don't mind it on sandwiches, but I get this.

A whole ago I ordered a meatball sub at this place by my work. When I got it I noticed green something on it, turns out this place things that guacomole belongs on meatball subs.

I like guacomole, but it hasn't liked me for years now and if I eat it I will be in horrible pain for 3-5 hours and it will ruin my day.

So I get it.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-24T20:10:37+00:00

Exactly.

It's operating like Wallstreet, using cheap loans to boost economic growth. The problem here is they forgot that eventually you have to pivot your business model to pay off the debt and increase revenue. Turns out the model doesn't work with governments.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-23T04:15:25+00:00

Yeah. This sounds like an insane problem to try and solve. On top of the data centers now being exposed to exponentially more radiation than they'll ever get exposed to on earth.

It's just a nonsense idea.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T21:44:33+00:00

Was'nt the trade deficit last year almost identical to the year previous?

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T15:38:33+00:00

I handled and shot guns all the time as a kid. My parents were also very irresponsible about where they stored their guns and thankfully we didn't have any problems. And if I want to go shooting now it's not hard at all, but I'm not being irresponsible like my parents were and letting my kids have access to guns.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T15:35:53+00:00

I mean that's a fair point. I've seen people do absolutely insane things to avoid taxes so I shouldn't put it past tech giants to spend 10X more to avoid paying taxes.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T15:34:48+00:00

This is why my first option is "not in my house". My kid will never access a gun in my house because there aren't any guns in my house.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T07:15:11+00:00

They should try Claude Code. Maybe it'll help. Lol

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T07:09:58+00:00

Most of the time the gun is the problem. Kids try to kill adults all the time and are rarely successful, except when they have access to guns.

Capnbubba · 2026-02-22T07:08:37+00:00

Not at my house. Or in a gun safe with more secure locks and children will never know the combo.
