  1. Dom seemed more defensive minded in the match against Malgren. On that first takedown defense, she got her hips back and squared up well. It looked like she cross faced across the forehead and top of the head. It looked like if she snaked her thumb down her inside hip she might have reached into Malgren's nose and convinced her to go a different direction. On that first throw she defended, it should have been 2 pts for Dom. In a later take down defense, Malgren got in deep and had a head outside shot. It was another opportunity to separate Malgren's head from her shoulders to get her hips back. Have these two wrestled before? I'm wondering if Dom was consciously more defensive or if her setups were not working. She's been more committed and aggressive on shot attempts in the past. Malgren's pretty good though...
  2. The defender should be awarded two points when they slip the offender's throw attempt and end up in control. The 'free pass' rule allowed today is silly. Referring to Dom's match.
  3. Select 'Home' from the breadcrumb... to change the view from this to this
  4. Some coaches want the wrestlers to... sit with their team the whole time watch videos after the tournament is over, not in between matches not allow parent instruction/coaching between matches Does the relative knowledge of the coaches and parents matter...
  5. Grilling your own pizza is the way. Follow instructions like this... use self rising dough to shorten the prep time... https://findingtimeforcooking.com/main-dishes/best-grilled-pizza-dough-recipe/
  6. Papa Murphy's Cowboy pizza is the best for self bakers, mom/pop Chicago style is the best when going out, and that thin-crusted New York style belongs in the trash bin with all forms of margherita pizza. We started making our own mini pizzas on the bbq from scratch with fresh ingredients.... its the actual best.
  7. He took too much joy in the destruction of the Pfizer exec. That bothered me. That guy’s life was destroyed and James was glee. Still. James is Veritas. Bad decision by the board. James should not fight it, rather start the next company and move forward.
  8. Sure sounds like a ChatGPT disclaimer Have some fun Bernie.
  9. https://www.sciencehistory.org/distillations/mouse-heaven-or-mouse-hell A bunch of mice live in a utopia and it goes to hell. What stage of John's experiment are we in?
  10. The article is disgusting. When I read it, I was like WTF is Mike posting that? It is hard to recage the lizard brain and recognize your intent was to criticize Elon.
  11. Right? It's a hit job by four authors with evidence that Eliza is disingenuous. It lacks context and analysis of the issues surrounding sex trafficking and the challenges of reporting on and verifying claims. It is charged and critical and not an ounce of empathy for parts are likely true such as the escort experience. TBH this isn't a surprise if she is exaggerating. She gain attention by saying the right things for a good cause (stop trafficking) but her reaction to the youtube video images posted to Twitter was sketch. She lost some credibility her reaction but I still like what she is advocating against. It's an article worth writing but with horrible execution. I had to look up whether the authors were monsters... It IS correct that Musk was gullible on believing Eliza so easily. Its the good kind of gullible and Elon is no more dipshit than the rest of us.
  12. Too much weight and bad knees and cardio concern. Fix every time at 133.
  13. That is very wrong that the exception case is not honoured. Stupid. Sad.
  14. Questions that may influence longevity... As a world team member in wrestling, what is your standard of living like, and how do you manage to support yourself financially? Do you receive sponsorships or other financial support, or do you have to work other jobs to make ends meet? How do you balance your athletic pursuits with the need to pay rent, bills, and other expenses? Contrast this to when you were trying to make the team but not yet a member. What are some of the challenges you've faced as a female wrestler, either in terms of discrimination, lack of resources, or other obstacles? How do you balance your training and competition schedule with other aspects of your life, such as work, family, or education? What does your training regimen look like, both in terms of technique and conditioning? What advice would you give to other women who are interested in pursuing wrestling beyond college? How does it feel to represent your country at the world level, and what are your goals for future competitions? Can you describe your experiences competing in different parts of the world, and how does wrestling culture differ between countries and regions? What is the secret to your longevity and success in wrestling? Was it worth it?
  15. My 401k brokerage has no fees to buy and sell. No taxes on gains and no write off for loss.
  16. Wrestling needs this.
  17. I saw information today that is different than a short while back... https://www.fidelity.com/news/article/us-markets/202302170104RTRSNEWSCOMBINED_KBN2UR0AC-OUSBS_1
  18. In my personal life, I pay off high rate credit cards every month. I'm good with paying my low rate mortgage over several years. I can grow my net income better when my debts have low interest rates. The economy has high inflation. The Fed raises interest rates to lower inflation. Higher interest rates lead to more expensive loans. Companies take less loans. Companies also have debts coming due that they have to refinance at the latest high rates. This leads to less growth and in a future looking stock market, less value. Unprofitable companies are in a bad spot where as profitable companies with cash flow will weather the storm. When interest rates are eventually reduced, the market should take off. There are other factors that impact sectors...
  19. 83% cash and treasury bills now. Hope I'm right.
  20. Don't listen to me. I was convinced it would happen with reopening in late spring/summer of 2022. The drop began in Jan when I was planning to exit fully in Feb. But when everyone has the same thoughts... (bag holder) The simplest signal is that the S&P chart does not reflect the economy, 2023 earnings, and future growth estimates. With the exception of a few months in 2020, the growth rate is linear since 2009. 2023 is unclear and I've moved 25% from equity into fast maturing treasury bills this week. I will move up to another 50% soon. I'm positioning for a downswing to 3600 .SPX and looking for better prices on select companies. 10-30%, even 50% drop is predicted, along with 20% gains by different experts. Its about a 60:40 ratio of expert predicted drop vs rise. I'm sure to be wrong. If I'm wrong and it keeps growing 40% every 3 years, .SPX will be at 5800 by 2026. It's going to get to 5800 within 10 years anyway because the market always moves past its tumbles. The ichimoku cloud chart is bullish on .SPX... I'm not.
  21. Experiences are worth every penny.
  22. Work hard, invest smart, and drudge through the prime of your life for pennies to compound so one day you might afford eggs. Returns can sound impressive but 1000% gain on zero is zero.
  23. I was heavy on retirement index funds for 6 years. Put 10% annual in like momma said, set it, forgot it, and enjoyed 10% compounding interest returns. The government printed money for my company's sector and I went Enron style for a while. I've mostly been going long on self-picked companies since that time. Since starting 401K equity investing in 2004, my total portfolio paper gains have returned 390%. An alternative history that invested only in the S&P 500 would have returned 82%. An alternative investment of Berkshire Hathaway would have returned 167%. I've lost money in 4 years, one better than the S&P and one worse than Berkshire Hathaway. There is a case to be made for self management of funds... no management expense beyond my time... holdings in a 401K brokerage account that allows buy, sell, cash reserve, etc. and all the things with exception of calls/puts for options. I've made costly mistakes and my main regret is capping annual investment at 10% rather than 30%.
  24. It was hard to listen to the scientists with a different interpretation when they were all kicked off of social media.
  25. Logically wearing a mask helps prevent Covid but what does the science summarize about mask effectiveness? I'm confused. Wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza-like illness or COVID-19 compared to not wearing masks, and N95/P2 respirators compared with medical/surgical masks probably make little or no difference for the objective and more precise outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza infection. https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub6/full
