  1. I have it on my bucket list to never run a half marathon. Not even in aggregate. So far, so good.
  2. That was my biggest problem with the Yianni Diakonihalis situation. First he immediately grabs his head and looks woozy, then he looks OK, but then he clearly starts to fade in that match and his reaction time slows, but they kept going. Yes, some symptoms were delayed, but they were only delayed a little, and the new information was not processed fast enough. Tagovailoa having a fencing response on the field for all to see and then returning to the game was hard to understand.
  3. You will be working so much you won't have time to spend money anyway?
  4. For someone who professed to not caring about the financials, he tried comically hard to get out of the deal until he was forced to close.
  5. So what does one of these 80+ hour per week, as yet unfunded, government jobs pay?
  6. Talk about not accurate. This information is very easy to find. https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/29/fidelity-has-cut-xs-value-by-79-since-musk-purchase/
  7. That is great news. Now maybe Fidelity can mark their investment up to down 78%.
  8. I have my doubts about the protocols. And this is not a Cornell criticism, it is a sport criticism, but we saw it with Yianni Diakomihalis in Colorado at the challenge tournament against Nick Lee. He was so clearly concussed, but passed the protocols. Those were UWW protocols, not NCAA, but I think it is a sport wide problem. We seem to see if every week in the NFL, especially with Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa has passed concussion protocols and returned to the game multiple times in his career when it is clear he should not have. I have no idea about Meyer Shapiro, as I have not even seen the match in question, I just do not think passing the concussion protocol is as definitive as it should be.
  9. Insider trading is not legal for members of Congress anymore as of the 2012 STOCK Act. The issue now is enforcement, which is left to the executive branch. With Trump now president perhaps the will to pursue members of Congress will change.
  10. This is the chance for all you supporters of Musk for this job to stand up and be counted. Surely you want to spend 80+ hours per week working for him and doing whatever it takes to rid the world of goat yoga studies and $50 bolts. I will happily be your reference. Unless you do not think you are in the top 1%.
  11. That comes from the Trump playbook. Accuse others of what you are guilty of.
  12. https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/ "With a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, they strive to make life both scarier and longer for everyone, a commendable goal." Though the bankruptcy court has put a hold on the sale pending a hearing about why Alex Jones was too dumb to buy it himself.
  13. Yes and no. Without looking at the facts and circumstances of each situation it might read as over-regulation. But things like the SEC fines were VERY well earned by Musk. And he has broken securities laws since with zero consequence. The revenue he derives certainly is not due to over-regulation. But the bigger question is should he be both the regulated and the person who influences the regulation? I say no.
  14. They said they did not get the info from the Blaze family. Typically why a news organization cares is that they are repeat players. If they are seen to be dishonest, or sloppy, they risk future access to information. It is reputational.
  15. If you would care to propose a reasonable alternative I would love to hear it. But before you do, let's look at Tesla alone, the source of most of his wealth, and all of his liquid wealth. 43% of Tesla's profits derive from government largesse. YTD Tesla has made $2.1 billion from selling carbon credits provided to them by the government. Tesla has recently faced investigations from the Transportation Department and the Justice Department. Tesla has been fined for OSHA violations. Tesla has been sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Tesla has face enforcement actions from the EPA Tesla, and Musk, have been investigated by the SEC and found to have violated securities laws resulting in sanctions on Musk's tweets and fines on the company. The SpaceX list is longer and higher dollar value, by the way.
  16. doh where were you 45 minutes ago when I could have fixed it?* *(It is the white hats that are to blame.)
  17. I was not reducing it to the absurd, it was already there with your original post. I was just matching your absurd.
  18. There is talk over on the PSU board about the possibility of 10 AAs this year, which got me thinking about that 2007 Minnesota Golden Gophers squad who remain the only team to do the deed. Ten toe the line, ten climb the podium. The ten Minnesota wrestlers were seeded 1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 10, and 10. Using historical results that means they had a less than 1% chance of all ten AAing (0.8%). As a matter of fact, the most likely outcome (27.6%) would have been a mere 7 AAs. And the expected outcome was only 6.5. No matter how you slice it 10 is huge. And it was hugely improbable. The distribution of expected outcomes for that team, with those seeds, looks like this: Bonus Trivia: No team outside of Iowa has come within 1 of Minnesota. Iowa has had nine 7 times and Iowa State has done it twice.
  19. You are right. Ferrari should not be included in my definition of 100%ers. If he wins four he will be an 80%er.
