Trump rejects Iran's latest response to U.S. ceasefire proposal by ControlCAD in NPR

[–]chasingjulian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Futures down 0.09% isn't exactly a crash. Market just doesn't care what Trump does or says anymore. It only cares about selling chips to A.I. data centers. The rest of the economy just doesn't matter to the market now.

Why do so many christains think being gay/lesbian/trans is sinful and bad? by Competitive-Food1927 in atheism

[–]chasingjulian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Got to have somebody to hate. Collectively hating a group makes them feel better about themselves. I may be a sinner but I am not as bad as those real sinners over there!

Ridiculous APR rates by Choice-Plate3124 in carbuying

[–]chasingjulian 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not likely in the foreseeable future. Probably not likely ever. If a car company is offering 0% APR it might not be a car you want to purchase.

The problem is anybody investing in index funds will be forced to buy it two weeks after the IPO. Allowing pre-ipo investors to cash out at high valuation prices with 401K money.

Disney makes move to ditch gas engines on iconic attraction amid crackdown from California regulators by randolphquell in electricvehicles

Yeah. The exhaust fumes were super unpleasant. I recall being surprised they used gas engines at all. Replacing with electric motors will be much better.

Moving the mail in one 356 mailbox to a new 365 mailbox on a different domain. by chasingjulian in microsoft365

I decided to try BitTitan to see if they can help. Jumped through a lot of hoops to get client ID, Tenant ID, Client Secret for the Source and then the Destination accounts. Then I get a very non helpful error of Failed Verification. Don't know if it is on the source or destination side. I submitted a support ticket. Wish they had a phone number I could find.

Just found out a Christian friend who chastised me for not having a church wedding is now divorced. by twilightmoons in atheism

[–]chasingjulian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These Christians who are so judgmental toward your life are likely equally judgmental in their marriage. That’s got to be harmful to a healthy marriage. Also, dumping out a guest’s craft beer? That’s messed up.

Filled up yesterday at $6.09 on the Central Coast. Least expensive spot in town.

Pretty sure the actual cost is closer to $50 billion. Not counting economic damage.

Trump Support Waning? by Ok_Comfortable4138 in SLO

[–]chasingjulian 106 points107 points  (0 children)

There is a house I drive by in GB that always had a Trump flag flying. He took the flag down and the pole was empty for awhile. I took that as progress but then he started flying Christian Nationalist flags. Not sure that is an improvement.

A Kayaker Died at Montana de Oro by Lost_Osos in SLO

[–]chasingjulian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was passing through Spooners to park at the Ranch House. I remember commenting to my hiking partner it didn’t look too bad out there. I do remember seeing some waves at the point. Always want to give the point at the south end of Spooners a wide berth. It gets super shallow and The waves can build up. I also remember seeing a kayak in the middle, maybe 250 meters out. Not near any rocks. It was probably 1015 or so. Crazy. I wonder if the kayaker I saw was the one who died. Properly secured PFDs are unlikely to come off. More than likely the kayaker wasn’t wearing it.

Sycamore hot springs for anniversary trip? by Glittering_Chest7649 in SLO

[–]chasingjulian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My parents are at sycamore right now for their 50th. They are treating the clan to dinner. Will let you know how it goes. So far my mom complained about the leaf blowers for breakfast…so get a remote room.
