Why aren’t we striking their naval assets?

I respectfully disagree.

LSU is not serious about basketball if they bring back McMahon.


LSU is clearly not serious about men’s college basketball, and rarely has been. Sure we’ve had occasional success, but those few instances were, more times than not, a result of the occasional generational type players deciding to come to Baton Rouge.

It would take a blind man to not see that the decision makers/boosters just don’t have the appetite to throw enough money at a shitty sport/program to make it relevant. I applaud them, since I’d rather see that money go to other sports. College basketball has, over the decades, become a terrible institution. The only thing I dislike more is the NBA, and maybe soccer.

The NCAA should just nix men’s BB altogether.
Go with a Carrier. I don’t recommend the super high seer models, as I don’t think you’ll ever recoup the upfront costs, and they’re more expensive to repair. 14-15 seer is efficient enough for me.

Typically stick with one brand. We went with the GE Cafe line for everything but the rangetop and I’ve been pleased. We splurged on a BlueStar rangetop and it’s awesome.

Take a look at Cherokee Brick. They offer a nice selection of tumbled ‘old’ bricks.

Very few people care about men’s BB. The program has already died.

When does your farsightedness say its going to zero?


No clue, but it continues to survive longer than I believed it would. Having said that, I have little doubt that it will get to zero eventually. Certainly before gold does.

Had I bought it at $13.71, I would have sold it for $50. Had I bought it at $25, I would have sold it at $100. I’m genuinely happy for the people who changed their lives by buying BTC. I was never, ever going to be one of them


Most of us would have done the same. I have had a very small position since circa 2020 and will continue to let it ride. I’m not worried about losing all of it. If I had bought a more sizable position back then, I’m certain that I would have sold some once gains reached 3x-4x to recoup my initial investment and then gambled on the rest. I wish I had!!

I am also genuinely happy for those early adopters that bought and held. I hope they realize immense wealth. I hope they sell while they still have that option.

I often wonder exactly how Wiki’s story unfolded. He’s probably still posting here and we just don’t know it.

Everyone knows crypto has a 4 year cycle at this point...


Huh? Statements like this support the idea that those that invest in BTC and other digital currencies are shortsighted/uninformed.

I was reading this thread yesterday evening right after work, and scrolled past just one too many "going to zero" posts and antibtc knights taking victory laps; it peaked out in this thread almost exactly as btc bottomed at 60k and violently bounced of 60k on the dot.


Pretty sure many were going to bed given the time of day. If the price were $63k or $120k, my opinion wouldn’t change. BTC investors will be disappointed when the plug is pulled…

Fake money doesn’t reach 3.5 trillion in value and gain institutional adoption


It’s not fake money. It’s greedy and ignorant money that has driven the inflows. The “institutional” money appears to be either manipulating the market or cutting their losses right now.
Eventually we will get back to a world where valuations matter, and where investors concern themselves with investing in companies that generate cash over long periods of time.

Speculative assets like BTC are only good for buying illicit goods on the interweb, or for those looking to make a quick buck on the ignorance of the herd. Both are more risk than I’m willing to take.

No chance. Aside from it being an absurd concept, there are too many powers/forces that will never let it happen.

I welcome these circumstances.
