The US Cast Guard is a military service and has been interdicting drug traffic in intl waters and closer for years.

Fantastic reputation as astronaut, Naval Aviator and individual.

We are. Wife has it on constantly during the day.

I am not really interested in discussing personal portfolios. I do me. What I responded to was your claim that the market did not seem to agree that the technology was of significant value, and I claimed that it certainly was, and now the market has come to realize that. Not hard to do after scores of purchases by Fortune 500's who can no longer tolerate grid dependence. Time for a pause, but keep watching. A non combustion, extremely clean process that can use lng, biofuel or hydrogen, cost competitive and produced at the consumption site, ie., no grid reliance.

I believe I have a pretty good grip, and I don't even like Trump. Your choice of disgusting vulgarity has nothing to do with that.

The Make a Wish program is a big deal in the airline business. In its early years, only the flight attendants would know and handle the special treatment. One time, I was doing a 757 ORD to orange County trip, and after we landed a flight attendant was at the cockpit door with a kid about 10 who looked quite ill. She told me he was a Make a Wish kid whose dream was to go to Disneyland. She said he asked if he could see the cockpit and I said of course. I got him set up in my seat and while the FO was explaining all the stuff to him his dad told me he had terminal cancer, and D'land was his dream. I was so impressed with him. Anyway, he spent about 15 mins in my seat and when he left he looked really happy. Lots of pics etc. I gave him my card with my address and some kind, encouraging words on the back, and about a week later I got a thank you card from him expressing how much fun he had in the cockpit. About a month after that, I got a note from his dad who said he had passed away, but wanted me to know that the cockpit visit was more thrilling to him than D'land, and that they had framed a few of the pics and placed them with him in his hospital room at the end. It really made an impression on me. Now, they have a full thing at the gate prior to boarding for these kids and everybody is made aware. It is an immense pleasure to put a smile on these kid's faces. (Please, no "Airplane" movie jokes)

Yes. You are an arbiter of intellect. Who posted this: " think it’s funny that you got nothing to say as usual but defend your idiotic cult dickcunt." A brilliant mind, no doubt.

You can do both. You can stash the majority in "go fishing" portfolios, and take a bit and do the research and do individual issues, including options. It doesn't have to be one strategy. Chess vs. checkers.

I timed it right, I think.

Ya. I sure was wrong about this. Emerging Energy

Ya, but anyone catch the mistake Pegula named when talking about it? He asked Josh if he remembered that from his thermodynamics class in college. It isn't thermodynamics, it's aerodynamics, unless they are including some heat source. Josh's gravity explanation made up for the poor Pegula science.

Just once. Got up at about 4:30AM and walked into my kitchen. Out the window, I could see this huge flame on a neighbor's property about a quarter mile away. Not a house, but I wasn't sure what it was, but it was big as I could see it through the dense woods. Turned out it was his shed, which had a portable heater in it that torched the thing.

"One Way A, J."

As a fan since the mid 60's, this situation is ridiculous. Way to many injuries that keep people out of practice. The first thing I look for every day after practice in injury news. Crazy this year.

You should have given up on posting anything remotely related to Social Security after your bizarre claim a couple years ago that Biden should be thanked for lawfully mandated annual cost of living increases. That was a classic.

Obviously not informed, but aren't some meniscus clean ups relatively minor?

I can empathize a bit, as I'm rehabbing a complete knee replacement done two weeks ago. I was so bothered by this Max situation and how it could impact our season that I thought that if you draft a corner in the first round, once he gets done hugging the Commish, drag him the nearest, best ortho guy and rebuild his knees. I have calmed down a bit since, until the next injury. This game/position is not meant for human knees, and the position is so impactful.

Simply the best news thread ever.

There is some validity to it. Covid happened. The economy was dead in the water. About six trillion dollars was created to keep things afloat, in my estimation, four trillion of that was a mistake. Now you have all these new $'s chasing non expanding supply, especially in the housing market, causing non traditional increases in cost, which attracts further spending in that area of the economy, resulting in disproportionate price increases. Saving things comes at a cost.

I think you misunderstood. I was agreeing with yall's post, which referred to the kid's silly claim, which was ridiculous. Not your experience.

That's what happens when these things aren't read carefully. One is talking about the first half, and the first quarter was slow. The other is talking about the second quarter, where growth was quite brisk.

It absolutely is.

Did you actually read what that kid posted? He's complaining about them suggesting financing a car purchase when he's prepared to pay cash, and then states they want just under 20% interest. He's either an idiot, or he's lying. I see dealership commercials all the time, and they advertise 3.5 to 5.5% rates. He is quoting credit card rates, which you would have to be a moron to even consider. Since you can get over 4% on simple money market funds, seems quite reasonable. Further, if you offer cash you don't have to sit and listen to anything. If they don't want it, and they all will, just leave. Seems like a full class idiot to me.

It doesn't surprise me it was here. That peninsula has the highest number of volcanoes and volcanic activity on earth. Used to go over it and the city of Petropavlovsk all the time on the way from the US to Tokyo. They have tones of geysers and other stuff that indicates really active sub surface stuff. Weird area.

Yes. It's what was used in the space shuttle when they were unable to generate enough solar, based on orbit geometry. The technology and efficiencies are much greater now, to the point where companies who cannot tolerate utility outages are buying on site energy delivery sources that are completely reliable and independent from public utility companies and the nonsense and politics that involves.
