Not only that but there’s just one level 2 station in each town. There is a very fast level 3 in mathiston and Winona though.

We had a mosquito mist system installed last summer. A 50 gal drum with the chemical and a pump set up with compressed lines than run on the soffit of the house and 24 nozzles put on the lines. It’ll go off once in the morning and 3x in the evening. It’s reduced mosquitos/wasp/bugs by 90%

Sounds like an excuse for them to cancel current flights and just resell them for higher prices..

Both can be right.
Kent is correct that Israel lobbied us into this mess.
Trump is right that he used this mess as a chess move in the greater scheme of things.

I’m curious if he predicted the Kargh island scenario…

I’d love to believe this.. I want to believe this..

but firstly, how does someone of the street just get the authority to “create” their own vaccine? Unless we’re talking $50k+ money being thrown out?

Secondly, if the dog already has cancer. How would a “vaccine” even be helpful? Vaccines are preventative measures.

Looks like we have an off take agreement

You think BlackRock is going to keep CFA’s around when Alladin & Gemini can do all of that work at a cheaper rate?

re: CFA vs CFP

Posted by Shepherd88 on 3/2/26 at 2:54 pm to TigahsOnTop

If they’re employed by a wirehouse then yes ultimately it is true. The CFA will earn a salary and bonuses based on their “picks” but the main revenue source of the firm is a CFP. So the CFP keeps the back office employed.

CFA is harder to obtain but ultimately CFA’s end up working for CFP’s.. and an analyst position is much more vulnerable to AI

This is a bad look for Trump. Anthropic admitted that AI was not ready to be pushed further in warfare and the government is trying to force that. In over 95% of war game simulations AI chose a tactical nuke option.

re: An economic collapse scenario by Citrini Research:

Posted by Shepherd88 on 2/25/26 at 9:46 am to Bard

I uploaded the file to chat gpt and had it bring up some points that contradicted it.

Mainly this “scenario” assumes

1. labor income is static and not adaptive
2.productivity rises while income falls
3. Underestimates capital market adaptation
4. Overestimates demand collapse (if corporations grabbed all the money then the government would like raise taxes to redistribute wealth)

It agrees that there likely could be a painful labor market transition but that demand would shift to newly created jobs due to AI infrastructure created.
