Amex rate is 3% now. It's been going down lately. But still a decent rate.

re: Fetterman spin-off: is there another politician who's actually grown on you in time?

Fetterman has grown on you? He is extremely liberal with his voting record. But sure, he says some common sense things every now and then.

My initial post of that thread was edited. I originally had lots of gifs of the people getting sick and dying in the streets. And I originally titled it "People are dropping dead in the streets of Wuhan" or something to that effect.

This is gonna suck for a lot of people, especially those who live on the east side of time zone borders.
Sunrise won't be until after 8 am in the winter in Knoxville, TN. With latest sunrise at 8:45.
Was anyone on here alive the last time the US tried permanent saving time in the 70s?

How does one do this? I do a big celebration every new years and i'd prefer just 1 big show than running around the yard with lighters.
You can find some tutorial videos on YouTube about how to fuse and the materials you'll need. I prefer tape over zip ties, and I secure all my cakes to plywood boards for safety. Fuse burn rates widely vary so you'll need to buy several different fuse types and know basics about each box you buy (time and number of shots to be able to time fuses). It gets complicated the more boxes and mortars you add but the basics are the same. Biggest risks are misfires where the tape/zip tie connection doesn't light the box. But those are rare.
Electric firing systems are best for really big shows because you can accurately time all shots in your show and coordinate music. But that can be a big investment. I'd do it if I went this big every year.
Here's a good site that explains some basics about fusing shows. LINK

I use a single fuse for the entire show. That being said, this year is double what I normally do. I thought about buying an electric firing system but decided against it since this year's size will be an anomaly. The show could go almost an hour but I will try to reduce it as much as possible by having a really huge mid section (basically finale for most people's shows) and an obscene finale.

I picked up 10k worth of fireworks this year. Going big for 250, but won't do it like this ever again. Too much damn work.

On another big run this morning. Up about 22%.
I'm in at 32 and I guess I'll ride this until close to the SpaceX IPO. I'm not sure what happens to this once that is available.

So one branch of government has to ask another for permission to build something that is privately funded? That makes no sense.
Some of these judges need to be removed for incompetence.
