Cigarettes are definitely trending up again among younger people. The inundation of advertisements about smoking health effects paid by tobacco lawsuit settlements has stopped. And cigarette manufacturers are master manipulators in marketing.

Drinking is down but it will not go away.
The older you get, the more opinionated you get about everything.

Okay. Sam needs to sit this one out.


He has been.
Eight third down conversions. 3rd and Chavis is alive and well at LSU.

Notice it doesn’t say Comedian Carrot Top. Should say Box Office Poison


Man, talk about an insensitive crowd. Guy is in such a bad place mentally and emotionally that he thinks the best way to end it is to kill himself and the first thing you think of is Norm blasting him for his one box office bomb.

His shows pull in $8 million a year. He is a comedian by trade, not an actor. Longest running show in Vegas in a terrible venue is no small feat.

Incidentally, Carrot Top’s estimated net worth is about 25x what Norm’s was (although Norm liked to gamble it all away and Carrot Top doesn’t). Oh the irony. Norm would have a field day with his own roast if he were alive and followed up on his career versus Carrot Top’s 30 years later. Norm was the best!!!

Likely won’t experience similar losses in a correction, either.


Perhaps. But FTEC is up 991% since inception in 2013. VTI is up about 307% in the same time. Been waiting on this often predicted correction since the inception date in 2013 and really since 2010. Absent a few months for Covid, it hasn’t happened. So, the massive gains over the last 13 years will still outpace the broad market by a wide margin in the long run even if the market correction gets priced in.

At a 50% fall in FTEC from current levels, it would still significantly outpace the broad market if the broad market did not drop at all. It seems unlikely tech will fall 50% if the broad market does not fall at all, but even if that did happened, tech will almost certainly recover at a more rapid rate than the broader market.
FTEC. That is all for me for the foreseeable future. Once I get closer to retirement I may move some into VOO or VTI, but the broad market is not experiencing gains at the same level as concentrated tech stocks since the internet and now A.I.
Your body goes on autopilot when it has fewer new experiences. You can break up routines to help slow down time. Take different routes when driving, try new foods, brush your teeth or use a fork with the opposite hand, sleep on a different side of the bed, exercise in a different order, spend a weekend day driving to visit a friend instead of texting, bring a child to an event neither of you have ever been to before, journaling about a new event every couple of days helps your mind to focus on the new experiences (though daily journaling about emotions or routine things has not been shown to help), introduce a new hobby (something like puzzles or a new board game or watch collection or feeding humming birds can easily be done without much time developing a new skill set like sports or music requires) or anything else out of the ordinary will help slow things back down a bit. The speed of time obviously stays the same, we all know that. But how our mind processes it changes as we age, so changing things up is the best way to slow down time.
Fire is hot. And, if you play in a fire and the melted plastic milk carton sticks to the bottom of your bare foot, you’ll remember why you were told not to play with fire.
With the state of college football, looking ahead to next year for QBs is a fool’s game.
I’m sure I will be in the same general area I was when Y2K was supposed to takeover the world. It worked okay for me then.

The Gen Z demo I’ve encountered in the workforce largely do not have a good work ethic. It’s a major problem. They aren’t willing to make the sacrifices past generations have made that are needed for certain careers.


Boomers said the same thing about Gen X, and Millenials. Gen X is now saying it about Zoomers who will say the same thing about the generation after Gen Alpha. This is nothing new. Every generation also thinks the world is just fine when they are in their teens and twenties. By the time they are in their 50s and 60s, they think the world is going to hell in a hand basket. None of this is new, including the where the older generation thinks, “yeah, but this time it is different.”
Claude says, “[w]hether AGI is close, decades away, or even achievable with current approaches (like large language models) is genuinely disputed among researchers — it's one of the more contested questions in the field.” So we are probably good and have nothing to worry about.

Or that is all the OT can get now.

Lane has seen the LSU fanbase have his back like no other fanbase he’s ever coached for in just 10 months. No college program is taking Lane from LSU. I think he appreciates the fanbase appreciating him.


Tennessee loved Kiffin (until he left). FAU loved Kiffin (until he left). Ole Miss LOVED Kiffin (until he left). Every fanbase except in California (Oakland and USC) has had his back as an HC. He’s still not going anywhere until he wins multiple NCs in the hardest era to win multiple NCs ever.

There is something about the NFL that the great coaches just can’t seem to turn down when asked, though.

Does not compute.


Assuming they are 38 (under 40), that $800k would grow to $4.3 million at age sixty with an 8% annual return and no additional investments. The 4% rule would allow for $172k per year to live on for the rest of their life. Assuming no late life children, most people can easily live on $172k per year.

What does not compute?

Seems like they should be allowed to play until the verdict of the suit in Bama.


They can. But if the court in Bama rules them ineligible, and the SEC agrees, which they will, the games the players played will be forfeited.

A significant number of people from India must come to tailgate at LSU.
