¡Buenos tardes! One of my stocks had their Q3 call yesterday. Now, I recognize they are in a growth phase and not yet profitable but they have multiple quarters of positive cash flow on their operations. Naturally, it is down 20% today. While another one in their call buried a statement on their earnings report they might run out of cash by this time next year. Naturally, that one is up 23% today.
Fucking clown world. Anyways…¡enlaces!
Good news for the gas markets, I guess.

I don’t think feral hippos qualify as pets.
I don’t think you can determine what is a pet to other people. For all we know, high caliber people like Pablo would necessarily want an exotic pet because normal people get dogs or cats. Such a mindset a normal person cannot comprehend.
Who are we to tell them they shouldn’t open their home to a pachyderm?
If we rename the hippos and call them Joe Bidens, they could then be referred to as pachydumbs.
A pet hippo is a pet. A feral hippo isn’t. Just like stray dogs or cats aren’t pets.
Of course they’re feral now. Their owner died.
The Last place I worked at had a tradition of giving each other melanin deficient pachyderms for the winter solstice.
You’re just a bad owner.
Exactly. Don’t blame the hippo, its not the hippo’s fault he was abused.

The hacienda was given over to poor locals by the government after Escobar’s death, and the hippos were left to roam free as they were deemed too difficult to seize.

“I never anticipated anything like what we’re going through,” Marcus said of Biden. “I wake up every morning and I say, ‘What is this dunce going to do today?’”
“He cut back drilling, he caused the inflation, the inflation caused every other problem for every businessman, for every American,” Marcus said. “And the people that he’s supposed to represent – the poor people, the middle class – they’re getting killed today.”
——-
“I’ll tell you something. I have never forgotten the fact that I was a small businessman, and Home Depot customers – I have them in mind – they’re getting killed,” Marcus said.
“They’re getting killed. They can’t afford to fill their cars with gas. They can’t afford to put a good meal on the table for their families. They can’t afford their rent. They can’t afford their insurance. Every freaking thing that there is, is up. And even when we see it drop a little bit, it drops on top of this number,” Marcus said.
That can’t be right. Every day the news tells me Joe loves the middle class and they’re doing better than they ever have.
The problem is the Inflation Reduction Act didn’t spend enough.
You have to finish inflating it before you can reduce it!
Of course this guy is going to blame Biden, he’s the cause of all this greedflation because he and every other business owner had a secret meeting in which they decided to raise prices on everything.
I miss the old Home Despot parody site.
I don’t think you can determine what is a pet to other people.

While the IBWC did not describe the “encroachment” as razor wire in its letter, New Mexico Democratic Rep. Gabe Vasquez told CNN his office was the first to speak with the IBWC and inform them that concertina wire had been installed on Texas’ side of the Rio Grande. It was installed, he said, “without the knowledge or approval of the IBWC, (his) office or local New Mexico officials.”

Letters from the Seven Years War
Letters confiscated by Britain’s Royal Navy before they reached French sailors during the Seven Years’ War have been opened for the first time.
Written in 1757-8, they were sent by loved ones for crew onboard a French warship, but never reached them.
Prof Renaud Morieux, who discovered the letters, said they were about “universal human experiences”.
Universal human experiences——-“I missed my period.”. “The wine in the cellar turned to vinegar.”. ,”Dear Jean…..”. ‘Your sister is nuts.” “Friar Jacques groped our son yesterday.”. “The neighbor kids won’t stay off our lawn.”
From the dead thread:
“Write a very short story in the style of Jack Reacher”
So, AI or human generated?:
Jack Reacher woke up in his cheap motel room. He showered, took his only pair of clothes from under the mattress where his body weight had pressed them overnight, and packed by putting his folding toothbrush in his pocket.
He walked to the nearby greasy spoon diner and ordered eggs and pancakes. While he was drinking his fifth refill of coffee, ten bandits tried to rob the diner.
Tried.
Jack gunned them all down in under two seconds, then generously tipped the waitress and walked outside, ready to hitchhike. Or have sex with the waitress when she got off shift. Didn’t care which, or where to next.
Whatever being wrote it, they are not very good. If human, needs more practice. if AI, pull the plug and shoot the developers.

A local restaurant chain has a tattoo offer. It gets you a discount (I believe it’s 15-25%) off your bill any time you stop in, you just have to show it.
The owner of the restaurant’s girlfriend owned a tattoo parlor at the time, which is what gave them the idea.

PA election shenanigans
Voters were asked to decide whether Pennsylvania Superior Court Judges Jack Panella and Victor Stabile should be retained for additional 10-year terms. The “yes” or “no” votes for each judge were being switched because of the error, said Lamont McClure, the Northampton County executive. If a voter marked “yes” to retain Panella and “no” on Stabile, for example, it was reflected as “no” on Panella and “yes” on Stabile.

don’t sell it, give it away
After serving as the world’s largest provider of helium for nearly a century, the U.S. government is close to bowing out of the market. Aiming to recoup costs, it began emptying its vast underground reservoir of the gas in the 1990s and has now put the whole federal helium system up for sale. Early next year, the government plans to unveil bids from potential buyers of the Amarillo, Texas, facility, which includes a distribution pipeline and the porous rock formation containing the remaining stores of helium—a substance used in everything from MRI machines to quantum computers to party balloons.
But few are celebrating.
——-
But on Earth helium is scarce. It forms through the radioactive decay of uranium and thorium deep in the crust and eventually seeps out and escapes into space. Some, however, gets trapped in the same rocks as natural gas deposits. As a result, helium extraction is typically a byproduct of fossil fuel production, which has made resource development spotty.
The federal government began to hoard the gas 100 years ago to ensure supplies for military dirigibles and later, the space program. (A ban on helium exports in the 1930s forced Germany to fill the Hindenburg with explosive hydrogen instead of inert helium.) By the 1990s, Congress decided it had spent too much on the stockpile and directed the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to start selling it off. The agency did so at below market rates, which some say discouraged private companies from expanding their own helium operations.
No way. Why bother to source it privately when the feds will guarantee you can’t make money?
“(A ban on helium exports in the 1930s forced Germany to fill the Hindenburg with explosive hydrogen instead of inert helium.)”
Because it was only produced in the U.S.?
Acktchually… yes.
It was a byproduct of the petroleum industry. We were the only ones capturing it.
I’d say it differently: NG is the best place to find He, the most affordable source. He is a product of atomic decay*, and in some geological formations it can migrate from lower strata but then get captured under a higher stratum; when such formations also bear NG, voila: He in NG; and any dumb Texan can catch that in a can for you to separate.
He is produced by fractional distillation of air in a few plants outside the US where it is not otherwise available.
* Make some in your basement if you’ve got the cold fusion thing figured out already.

According to AZ Animals, hippos are some of the most dangerous land animals, killing around 500 humans in Africa every year. In comparison to other animals on Earth, the number of deaths caused by hippos is “shockingly large,” AZ Animals says.
How many of those people were shooting at the hippos with high powered rifles from a distance?
My understanding (from long ago) is a lot, if not most, of the people killed by hippos are in boats and get torpedoed.
Literally all hunting is just shooting stuff from a distance, except when it isn’t. Getting a leopard is just like plinking a fox squirrel out of a tree. Thumping a Cape Buffalo is the same as whacking a Virginia whitetail. Of course, when things go sideways… there’s a reason they call certain critters “dangerous game.”
Put a foot wrong with a hippo and you’ll have five thousand pounds coming at you like an enraged Jack Russell terrier, and twice as tenacious. Assuming he doesn’t just hack you in half with his enormous self-whetting teeth, he’ll stomp you into pudding for good measure before leaving you to the vultures and ants.
Hippo hunting, on land, at night is the type of activity for folks who think that dating redheaded strippers is insufficiently exciting.
I was told by someone who has done it that hunting buffalo is a lot like shooting at parked cars. Now, if you decide to take one on in hand to hand combat the outcome will be a lot different.

It might end being a whole bunch of nothing. Water and electric problems.
The cause of the fire is less of an issue than the nightmarish response, which should have officials going to the electric chair.

Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell said he directed Metro Nashville Law Director Wally Dietz “to initiate an investigation into how these images could have been released.”
“I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving,” O’Connell said in a statement.
The mere sight of these “images” will be lethal?
Depends. Do the writing support or refute my politics and worldview?
The worst part isn’t the crime, it’s people talking about the crime.
Connecticut passed a law banning images after Sandy Hook.

I worked for a railway supply company, and regularly chatted with bigwigs at UP and BN. They all encouraged me to go to train-driving school at the local community college here. I wish I had, but I was scared to step out of my comfort zone.
But, they warned me, if I did end up driving a train, I WOULD kill somebody.
Do the engineers turn their backs right before running over drunk grizzlies in Montana?

A group of parents whose children were at The Covenant School during the attacks have filed a motion seeking to keep the writings secret.
On Monday, a spokesman for those parents called whoever posted them “a viper” and said the person “released evidence that was gathered in our most vulnerable moment.”
“You have now allowed [the shooter], who terrorized our family with bullets, to be able to now terrorize us with words from the grave,” said the spokesperson, Brent Leatherwood, whose three children were at the school and survived.
Get a grip. And what is the supposed justification for keeping the manifesto sealed? It seems as if that might be pertinent.
I have some sympathy but they can stick it. The public has a right to the truth and a free flow of that information and the suppression of such for whatever reason is a golden ticket to a coverup.
In their motion seeking to keep the writings secret, the parents argued that no good can come from the release and that they do not wish for them to be me publicized. They called them “the dangerous and harmful writings of a mentally-damaged person.”
Oh, okay. Incantations of ultimate evil. The earth will open up and swallow us all. Or perhaps they might contain insights a little too valuable to be allowed into the public domain. Same thing.
If they’re trotting out the aggrieved parents you just know there’s some kind of corruption and/or incompetency they’re trying to hide.
Like maybe the school knew how many screws were loose with this person?
Maybe and what happened in 2021 when she almost got caught? Also, if recovered what what’s on the tape? Even if everything’s completely in line and above board the public still has a right to know. This isn’t national security information after all (which they should still know but at least a plausible argument against it can be made).
If they’re trotting out the aggrieved parents you just know there’s some kind of corruption and/or incompetency they’re trying to hide.
There’s definitely something fishy.

That is serious. Although why they are disenchanted is that they want money that’s going to Ukraine.
Interesting how this is the Democrats problem. And not Joe Biden’s job to get himself re-elected.

Biden Has Plenty of Time to Bounce Back
Trump’s polling lead is probably real, but so was Mitt Romney’s in November 2011.

Thankfully Trump is not Mitt Romney.
“One progressive leader said that if Biden loses to Trump, “he goes down in history as being incredibly selfish and possibly dooming democracy as a result.””
This is what they actually believe.
“This is a five-alarm fire,” said a senior Democratic aide to a lawmaker in a battleground state. “We have a deep bench of folks who could run and win. But that’s not happening.”
He claimed, without evidence.
In the land of the blind…
Who else is on the bench? Kamala, Buttigieg, Newsome? Who looks at those people and thinks they have a deep bench?
Dem strategy seems to be inverting the truth at every opportunity. Bold move Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off.
One progressive leader said that
if Biden loses to Trump, “he goes down in history as being incredibly selfish and possibly dooming democracy as a result.It’s a giant gamble an most people will be deferential to him in terms of making the choice. But more people are now acknowledging that he has a real choice to make.”Okay, drama queen.

I saw something similar about an AI haikus for Trump and Biden. The Trump one was neutral and the Biden one definitely had a positive spin.
Not what I intended. Let’s try again.
One progressive leader said that if Biden loses to Trump, “he goes down in history as being incredibly selfish and possibly dooming democracy as a result. It’s a giant gamble an most people will be deferential to him in terms of making the choice. But more people are now acknowledging that he has a real choice to make.”
Okay, drama queen.
It took me about six months to figure out that “democracy=democrats.” Once I learned to replace democracy every time with “democrats” in every quote, it made sense.
Fuck… if Trump is to “doom Democrats”, I’ll vote for the guy in a second.
Unfortunately, the last time they only got stronger.
Just think of the rending of garments if Trump wins.

I know the old counselor a bit and would much prefer to see him back in the role. He’s insufficiently progressive for all the idiots around here so he will likely lose.

I wouldn’t have, other than my ward councillor. I’d like Jack to win but I’m not optimistic.
