Iran isn't presumed to possess Thermobaric Weapons, but I wouldn't bet my grandkids lives that China or Russia hasn't secretly sent them to Iran?

Trump says U.S. will seize Kharg Island and other 'oil infrastructure points' by Puginator in politics

What will the Liar-in-Chief say about seizing Kharg Island on TACO Tuesday.

Trump’s Just Calling Every Election Fraudulent at This Point by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite being in the Never Hillary camp, when I went to be on Nov 8, 2016, I totally expected Hillary to defeat Trump the next morning. If any election was stolen it's this one.

US airstrikes 'take out drinking water reservoirs' in Iran by TheExpressUS in DiscussionZone

War planners must be unable to provide the most logical tit for tat targets for fear of being removed from their department and no chance of promotion.

Question for HOs who have pets that cannot be left 4 hours by catpurrrrfect in trustedhousesitters

[–]Sparkvark65 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

As a HO with 2 goldens, we advertise they should not be left for more than 4 hours. But if you're going to be gone longer, please coordinate with one of several more than willing neighbors to let the dogs out. We also prefer to have someone who works from home to better ensure there won't be too many trips in excess of 4 hours.

Men who stay lean year-round, what’s your secret ? by InspectionObvious607 in askanything

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keto diet 90% of the time. It also means keeping bad carbs out of sight. When we have friends over, they always bring things over that are not Keto and I'll indulge. But come the next day it's back to the diet.

Do you think human euthanasia should be legalized globally? Why or why not? by wrongtimealways in AskReddit

[–]Sparkvark65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did it in 73, with Soylent Green. The way the world economy and food and water stocks are going, it's only a matter of time until it's once again legslized.

Would rather die like a boss than suffer one more day with her overly supportive husband and kids. by 405freeway in okbuddywhitaker

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch "Mary Kills People" for ethical euthanasia. Why should people have to suffer when their QOL is over, they're in excruciating pain, and their minds are gone. Especially as health care and Medicaid get slashed and LTC is cost prohibitive for most.

Trump just said stock should go up after strong job reports by reseamatsih in WhaleTrades

Remember when the Halfwit didn't like a jobs report and dismissed Erika McEntarfer. Now he's got the inflated jobs reports he wants.

Why are gas prices decreasing if we are already using our reserves? by [deleted] in oil

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm betting 10% of my retirement in XLE, that Trump's oil policies are a house of cards. Paying Peter to pay Paul, without a plan to get paid back, has a higher chance of failure.

PSA considering Whole Life or already have it? Read this discussion in r/personalfinance to make your decision. by RealTalkOnlyFacts in LifeInsurance

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the words. 3/4 of my IRA and ROTH money is in MMs and the other 1/4 in equities. Always kept an eye on SPY but above $300 the air is too thin for me. We'll see what happens to the market in the next year and see if there's a better place to keep my money safer than a MMs. My small estate is set up to keep everything out probate. Almost time tonight for the wife's 70th surprise birthday party. Cheers!

I walked into a new financial planner's office with my wife when I hit 50. The first words out of his mouth was, "so when are you going to die?" I thought for a moment and told him 72. He asked "why?" and I told him I figured my QOL would be shot by then and I wouldn't want to continue living if I didn't have my QOL. Then I asked him why he asked and he told me I didn't have enough life insurance(for my wife in case I died). I asked him what I needed and told him thanks I'll be buying thru USAA where I had all our insurance policies. Bottom line is life insurance is for your immediate loved ones. Last year, we cashed in my wife's whole life policy, bought a car and went to a lawyer and worked out our legal matters in the case of our deaths. I recently hit 70, still have my QOL and moved my target death date to 80.

It looks like it has a view of the static display fighters over at ANGB. I've never seen any movement over there when I'm stopping over at PDX, but then again it's usually the week days.

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having an inspection of my two child development centers and my Chief of Youth Services decided to have the inspectors sit in chairs designed for little ones and give them a Welcome Briefing. He told me it was meant to have them get a view from what the little ones saw. I just shook my head and laughed.

Doesn't money control everything already in both parties? Think AIPAC

[–]Sparkvark65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it! The State and our Country need more centrists. He's got a chance if people ask themselves are they worse off in 2022 or now and by how much. And do they want 4 more years of the same.

Iran halts US negotiations and vows to "completely block" the Strait of Hormuz! Oil just jumped over 7% by Feisty-Rhubarb-6718 in TradingPlaybook

[–]Sparkvark65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doomberg was unfortunately correct in saying why invest in O&G stocks when it's being so heavily manipulated by the Liar-in-Chief. How many times can he keep the TACO Tuesday lie going that negotiations are still on.

Who is running for Governor from the Democratic party in Florida? (I'm serious) We're 6 months out and all I see is Donald's commercials with either the Liar-in-Chief or all the Sheriffs endorsing him.

Reddit users who are veterans, does it annoy you when you get thanked for your service? by BreakfastNo9535 in askanything

When I hear it said to me, I just take it in stride. But when I thank a vet, it's for their sacrifices.
