55 Fucking Michigan.

Watching my County Board meeting from this morning.

Bad news/good news.

Bad news:
Michigan implemented a Right to Early Voting freaking law. Minimum 9 days of "early voting".
County is trying to implement it, and decided on establishing 4 centers.
There is also same day registering, which is bullshit, and has been around since 2018. You register by going to the township clerk.

Good news:
The State law allows these early voting centers to do same day registration if they opt to. Fortunately, our county decided NOT to do this, making people go to their township clerk.

82 ACLU @ACLU
The state of Florida never provided medically necessary gender-affirming care to Duane Owen — causing her enormous suffering and violating her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment for the more than 30 years she was in state custody.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know:
Duane stabbed 14-year-old Karen Slattery 18 times, killing her, then raped her corpse. He committed murder again years later.

83 ACLU @ACLU
In legal papers she drafted, Owen wrote that she "should be accorded the 'essence of human dignity' and be allowed to become 'who she was meant to be'" before her death.

No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unfair and cruel death penalty is now.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know:
In 1984 Owen murdered and raped both a 14 year old girl and a 38 year old mother.

Owen's lawyers argued insanity.
Psychiatrists for the state testified Owen faked schizophrenia and had no signs of gender dysphoria. His records indicate he exhibits sexual sadism.

I like Obenauf's for leather conditioner. Or possibly it's a waterproofer. It's mainly beeswax and does nice things for the skin on your hands too.

True but you can use you wits and experience to make good decisions.

I hate Microsoft but I have a lot of Microsoft stock.

Microsoft was vastly undervalued around 2012, it was roughly 28 bucks a share, it's now 330 dollars a share.

If you had bought just 5k dollars worth of shares, your investment would be 60k.

If you had bout 50k of stock, it would be worth 600k.

And I could never quite afford to live there even on an engineer's salary because starter homes were like 300k in the late 2010s, so it wasn't all that hard to bail.

I have been investing in the stock market since the mid 80's, the way I look at stocks is as hold of value of money that will make steady but continuous gains.

So I have stayed mostly to blue chips and dividend stocks.

Once you've set up a base of value you then gamble a little, sometimes the gamble pays off spectacularly, sometimes you get it in the shorts.

Hopefully you don't take it in the shorts too often.

Posted by: Kindltot at September 05, 2023 08:46 PM (xhaym)

I love pears! Wish I had pear trees. Tractor Supply has some--I may get a couple. I think I have one more spot in my yard that could take a couple of trees.

I planned on canning spaghetti/pizza sauce from my San Marzano tomatoes this evening, but it's still cooking down. Takes forever. I guess that's tomorrow's job now.

Use your crock-pot, let it cook over night with the lid a bit off.
If you want a decent sized batch, you can use your electric counter-top roaster instead. Both will simmer without getting hot enough to scorch the sauce.
About half way through womp it up with the stick blender or run it through the blender and then add your basil and other spices.

Take a look at STRIVE, it is an index fund and they have one for oil and gas called DRILL. They also have dividend, SP500 and other funds, like Vanguard.

It was started by Vivek Ramawhatsisname, I got into the DRILL fund when it opened, before he came out for running for president,
He isn't involved now, but it is an alternate to Vanguard

Note, I am not an expert but STRIVE has a investor relations page and you can read up on it

269 264 I kind of get CA. Sort of. Not that I'd ever consider living there. But whenever I think "good G-d, what would possess anyone to live around these... """"people?"''" I remember the weather.

Yeah, it hit 82 in S.F. today. Toooo hot for my taste, but: 1) we are going into our Summer; and 2) 82 beats 92 and worse.

74°F here today. Cloudy, but nice.

270 Yeah, it hit 82 in S.F. today with a chance of needles and human feces.

271 That county meeting does sound like a glorious thing. People getting actionably pissed off now that it's having a tangible impact on their standard of living.

272 Seems like it hasn't rained here in years.

273 NorCal weather is nice. LA, kinda overrated IMO. Lots of rain in winter, kinda hot in summer. Often times muggy.

You misspelled robbery.

My philosophy is that if you heard it, it missed you, so have another drink.

277 As an aside, I am seeing more and more angry bums yelling at nothing. Our office is downtown, and it's getting kinda hinky.

My wife's office is close to a river, and the cops have to roust the bums weekly.

It's looking like the '30s, but with cell phones and wi-fi access.

280 SoFla is ideal weather. I know sounds crazy. But, you put up with 3 months of shitty summer weather in exchange for an awesome 9 months. Same with Phoenix.

283 281 County commissioners and city council meetings are great when half or more of the members show up drunk.

284 The only difference between olives and turds is that turds smell and taste better.

Oddly specific.

285 I grew up in WI urban world. In the 70s until I finally ejected circa 2000. Year by year, everything got worse. Less jobs, more crime, just constant decay. The weather was always awful. During the summer (half of June, July, August and some of September with summer defined as "good chance it would be at least 60 and no overnight freeze") if it didn't rain on the weekend the 10 pm local news would lead with film of people in parks. It was a news event when that happened. Yet nobody left. They just moved farther out. Unless you were upper 10-15% the game consisted of buying, watching, and selling before the value dropped too much. When I announced I was gonna go I was met with " oh, you'll never do that, nobody does". Its just the culture up there.
