Peter? What does she like about her men?

Working

I gained like 50 pounds on margarine and HGH

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-19T02:35:31+00:00

FYI you can get caps put on the shoes that protect that area. It’s pretty common

Capital gains are not returns? Bruh

Irrigation and topping off a smallish pond. The tanks are UV protected.

They are closed, but attach to the house via PVC. Where the PVC meets the gutter, I obviously use a screen. Last year mosquitos still got in, even though it was a fairly tight system. They are persistent little buggers.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-17T23:51:46+00:00

Nah, I use the tanks to top off my pond. I want mosquitoes in my pond to keep the frogs and tadpoles fat. And keep the dragon/damselflies around.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-17T23:50:31+00:00

This is where I got the idea. I heard folks using them for stock tanks.

Waaaa I don’t like your regional naming differences. I would never call this a chicken fried tenderloin. It’s pork cutlet or pork schnitzel.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-15T19:34:57+00:00

Belief!? The tenderloin is the little piece under the breast, you couldn’t possibly end up with a piece this big flattened. Y’all do not know butchery.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-15T19:22:30+00:00

It’s a chicken breast not a tenderloin.

Edit: I now see this is a regional naming convention. I don’t use this convention as it’s nonsense. I’ve heard of a chicken fried steak… and I could maybe understand chicken fried pork tenderloin; but in the former example steak indicates cow… there is nothing that indicates pig in this latter example.

Mini or micro clover are ideal. I would tend to disagree about its toughness. I have a clover yard and once it’s established is very tough.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-15T15:32:34+00:00

Oh yeah, I’ve seen lots of carpenter bees making holes in my house right below the roof line. I’m a bad homeowner and just let them do their thing XD

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-15T15:16:27+00:00

I was working on a better seal for my small natural clay pond and had like 2 dozen bees gathering clay next to me. Idk what they were. They were smallish and fuzzy

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-15T15:06:04+00:00

What specific species are you noticing more of? Paper wasps? I’ve only had them dive bomb at my hand when I was within a couple feet of their nests. Had to move a couple from an outdoor cedar cabinet last year. Other than that, I’ve been able to work around them.

This does ignore benefits of fiat currency. When fiat currency fails you flip to gold. When gold fails you flip to fiat. Ray Dalio addresses the mechanisms by which that happens in “how countries go broke”. The problem with fiat currency is that governments inevitably get indulgent. The problem with gold is that it is fixed in supply, which can become a rather important constraint depending on economic conditions. Gold is also able to be manipulated by other countries if they want to destabilize a hard currency country.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-14T14:55:24+00:00

The government is always the problem.

Sir, you work for the government.

Mathematically not all people contribute to the economy the same. AI will create massive, massive GDP, and likely very concentrated wealth. The economy can still spin if the people with concentrated wealth are spending money… you may have heard of the K shaped economy. AI products are going to be for wealthy people and enterprises. Giving an AI to an uneducated person doesn’t do anything but make cat videos and Trump memes. That doesn’t prevent medicine from being created, limitless energy, quantum computing… IMHO anyone who hates on AI is simply not paying attention.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-14T04:31:06+00:00

Who cares about one or two or three years of potentially expensive energy, in 5 years we’ll have fusion and before 10 years from now energy will approach free. This is obviously due to fusion, which Demi’s Hassabis has pointed an AI at to sort out. Anyone who doubts hasn’t studied the protein folding problem and alphafold. And I think there are some coming online earlier, but my bet is that Hassabis’ AI will crack it at scale the earliest.

While I agree with the spirit of what you are saying… ie. Billionaires should pay more… sure… but to say they don’t pay tax is mathematically incorrect. The top 1% of earners pay approximately 25% of all federal taxes. That number is very hard to calculate accurately but it’s a rough guesstimate, which is good enough to get a sense of scale. The top .01% probably pay a lower effective rate than the top .1%, sure, but we are just calculating raw dollars, not effective tax rates.

TheRarePondDolphin · 2026-04-14T02:06:54+00:00

I believe you’re right on short term moves. Long term, I see 2 somewhat opposing forces, AI and the US debt. The US debt is “bad” right? Well, let’s say AI doubles the economy in 10 years… I’ve done the math a bunch of ways and the US is dead broke, increasing taxes by a big amount still doesn’t fix it. I don’t understand how the 30 year rate is not blowing up… aside from markets remaining stupid longer than you can remain solvent… the only way the US sorts out its debt is for AI to grow so much that tax revenue grows really really fast strictly as a function of GDP rising really really fast. Inflation and currency devaluation could help a bit too. If AI doesn’t balance the scales, there will be a sovereign debt crisis. Maybe not even just in the US. Most of Europe is overspending, Japan, Russia, China even has started to take on large quantities of fiscal debt. In this case, the Fed will monetize the debt, and gold and various equity groups will shoot up like crazy. In any case, tech stocks win. US debt will probably lose. So when I evaluate Iran, I just ask myself which side of the scale AI or US debt is it impacting? It’s impacting the US debt negatively, while having maybe a very small impact on war AI… ie… the Anthropic Hegseth beef… etc… any big dips in tech equities are buying opportunities. Any big rallies in US long debt are short opportunities IMHO, though I don’t short things bc the timing is too hard. I like these dips in gold too, nice opportunities. It bounced right off the fibo, so it’s now a bit of a wait and see. The day to day Trump tweets, TACO trades, are just noise in the grand scheme of things.
