re: Knife-wielding woman gets shot by NYPD officers in Times Square

My daughter had been living on 43rd and 9th Ave. we are paying extra for her to now live in FiDi. Hate to see it happen. All big cities are like this not just Mandamistan.
re: 11 days on 4 Hawaiian Islands. Looking for recommendations on places and ‘tours’
Posted by CaptainJ47 on 8/26/26 at 5:10 am to sparkinator
Will you have a car? I graduated from UH Hilo. Where the cruises come in really doesn’t see anything. Frankly Hilo is kind of a dump. If it were me I would see about going to volcano (not sure how it looks post hurricane) or see about doing something up in Waipio Valley. If you don’t have a car you can do a tour of the chocolate farm there because it is close to town.
On the Kona side the town is cool but small. You can go do a coffee tour. There are plenty of places to snorkel. I prefer going north of town to Hapuna Beach but that wouldn’t have you see much.
On Kauai if you can find a way to do a tour of the Na’Pali Coast it is worth it. We did a boat tour from the north side of the island in Hanalei and LOVED it. One of my best memories.

Spent this week in Belgium and France. We did Verdun for a whole day. Being able to walk the battlefields there was so powerful. I even went into some of the trenches they used during the war. Damn that was a crazy time.

To withdraw safely in retirement you should follow the rule of 4 or 5%. I wasn’t talking about total return but income provided.

Congrats. $1M in a 401k will pay you $40-50k annually. Not a ton because that is pre-tax but gives you something.

I probably am not smart enough to know how to post pictures but will certainly share my thoughts of the trip after

Yikes I would be down for 100 a day. I don’t stand a chance at 10k in a month

Hate that for the player… not shocking for the saints to lose a player on day one

re: Delta flight cancelled
Posted by CaptainJ47 on 7/29/26 at 8:11 am to Meauxjeaux
So weather makes him kind of shite outta luck. Delta doesn’t control the weather so they were kind to offer the vouchers. I know that isn’t what you want to hear but that is the fair thing in the situation. I say that as someone with 1.8M miles with Delta and a diamond since 2014.

I bet this gets enforced as often as slow left lane driving laws and cell phone laws while driving. Nice posturing but shite won’t actually be done.

re: Is hobby card collecting worth it right now?
Posted by CaptainJ47 on 7/26/26 at 9:09 pm to crimsoncoded94
This reminds me of the 1989-1992 boom market back in the day. Things have evolved but it feels like it has that bubble mentality. When an afternoon sports radio show on a Friday is talking about the cards in the deck they opened and not sports, I know it is at the peak or damn near.

Thanks for the intel.
We are going to Dunkirk so I suspect a trip to Ypres will be pretty easy. We will also be in Verdun and I know we have several cemeteries on the agenda.
Thanks for the tips on gas and chocolate. I will load up on both. Appreciate the intel.

Posted by CaptainJ47 on 7/26/26 at 6:27 pm to GatorOnAnIsland
Louisiana has 33.7 per 100k. That would put us 8th on that list. By the logic here we must be overrun by Muslims. Oddly something seems off with the math.
