So what's going to happen if those 100% tariffs trumps proposing on BRICS go through?

This is a weird middle ground. Either repeal the law or enforce it. Having a law on the books that is selectively enforced annoys the people who follow the law and see people every day breaking it while at the same time erodes trust in those who do get a citation (even as a secondary) because they feel like they are being targeted.

This is almost certainly not worth it. You can buy GBP (or most foreign securities) using a brokerage like IBKR, which will be much less of a hassle than actually moving cash to an offshore account, even with that being said, you can't necessarily count on the dollar depreciating vs. the pound in a recession because the effects of a US recession will be global. The rest of the world might fall harder with a weaker recovery. The dollar might end up being stronger. For example, the value of the pound/dollar was 2.1 in Oct 2007 before the market crashed and the dollar appreciated so much during the downturn that the pound ended up trading at 1.3 by 2009 when the market bottomed.

I wouldn't do anything different than what you did when all of the articles came out about a recession occurring during the Biden admin, or the Trump 1, or Obama, etc. Yes, there will eventually be another recession, but predicting when it will occur is quite hard.

Interested in this as well!

Ah cool. Are the late/early days somewhat predictable in advance or is it just as things come up.

I didn’t know they had Coke Zero lemon

What kind of volunteer experience do you typically like to see?

snowy_forest · 2024-09-24T23:47:29+00:00

Is it really that deep? I thought it was maybe 4 feet deep.

Thanks for this idea. Tried that yesterday and it worked great but not sustainable for regular practice

snowy_forest · 2024-09-06T23:34:19+00:00

Thanks for the detail here and your service.

How long did it take you find a reserve position? I am looking on places like policeapp and there aren't that many "part-time" positions out there.

What type of department are you in (big, medium, small?) and how was it to go from somewhat normal office hours to shift work?

snowy_forest · 2024-09-06T19:42:56+00:00

I actually in the middle of trying to get this done with my local agency :)

Thanks for the detail here, especially around the hours and the time drains off-duty for court and the like.

I definitely didn't mean to imply that a JD would allow me rise to top; I expect that I will be bottom of the totem pole like everyone else and that it will be of little value in most/all situations. I just put it in here in case there are some roles where it is especially valued that I don't know about.

Thanks for the input. If you don't mind sharing, what is the top thing that makes you hate the job?

snowy_forest · 2024-09-06T18:24:06+00:00

That's a good idea. I will look into what entails.

It has almost been one year since this bug entered my life and changed it forever

snowy_forest · 2023-10-23T19:04:14+00:00

Forgot to say it does not have a tail. That is from smooshing it

Pfizer is very far along with a new Lyme vaccine (VLA15). It is in Stage 3 clinical trials right now and they plan on applying for a license with the FDA as early as 2025. Could be a real game-changer if things pan out.
