While I’m posting tonight- I’ll actually add some value and not exclusively shitpost.

My IT guys and girls are freaking the f out- they have been told to expect cyber attacks on U.S. assets. My advice to all of you is to keep a super sharp eye on your emails, phishing etc. if you own crypto (not that you aren’t already paranoid) but be very very skeptical. I know we have some defense related business owners here- I’m sure they are in the loop too.

Having said that,  please provide me your SSN and mother’s maiden name and I’ll be happy to cross reference that to known ongoing hacks. Jk jk.

I was thinking of that post of yours earlier today.  I’m confident you’ll be wrong, but boy…

Oh for sure…I was being hyperbolic.

I didn’t think Putin would actually do it at the time, but here we are. 

Seems Ukraine is putting up some fierce resistance. Tonight will be telling.

Gallows humor,  but laughing thinking about those saying it doesn’t snow in New England anymore…boy their tunes will change during the nuclear winter (summer) of 2022.

Just re-upping this so I can get a much needed laugh and say “I told you so”. What an awful few days with little sleep.

Dark day in history.

Anyone see what’s going in the N.Atlantic?

Extra-tropical storm is bombing out, down 55mb in 24 hours, 77 in the last 48. Can we get that off the BM pls?

We looking at flooding in downtown Boston and other prone areas- or are the tides not going to align?

Actually just going up 50 cents isn't too bad, I've seen a much bigger increase in my area

Ya no sh*t. Hence me calling out that embarrassing piece of ‘journalism’.

This was actually published in the NYT today- Embarrassing.

prob sounds familiar to some of you guys tho based on the convo

I tried to get the Starlink beta here but was declined. Too far north, I guess?

From a grain marketer in Saskatchewan. I don’t know how it works eligibility wise…but I think it’s still in ‘beta’ so possible coverage areas are still limited?

edit: should try reading entire posts before responding

On a brighter note- tell me what you see in the below?

If you guessed a StarLink satellite dish being rendered inoperable by stray cats (due to the heat generated on a comparatively cold day) you’re correct. Would have also accepted: a dream holiday snowpack.

Anyways this cracks me up for a variety of reasons.

If this were to verify: fastest trans-continental flights ever? Paging @Typhoon Tip

Either way- this all seems very normal and nothing to think twice about.

My pre-COVID trade was shorting the airlines and Boeing, which worked out beautifully. Not sure we'll get a similar reaction this time, but this is a very sick market without any help from COVID. It may be a useful scapegoat in the event of a crash.

I got theta murdered last time- market churned higher forever in the face of certain crisis in Europe until the rug pull. We’ll see this week, I expect post New Years people will wake up if not… oh well I tried. Was up 100% on Friday already but didn’t sell want a bigger move.

Ended up putting back on my pre-COVID trade (personal money, not financial advice) last Thursday at open, day after the FOMC. SPY puts, Jan 12 exp.

Lockdowns…. They are a coming.

32 and rain/ sleet in Lowell. Roads are getting slick

What a dumb post

I’m waiting for the apologies to @Chrisrotary12 to pour in. Or is that not how this works?

FYI just got a private message from Emily- age 25. Accompanied by a link to what I’m sure is a legit dating site.
 

Reported It.

Gallows humor,  but laughing thinking about those saying it doesn’t snow in New England anymore…boy their tunes will change during the nuclear winter (summer) of 2022.

I put gas in my Ariens and got her heated up this morning. 
 

This one’s on me guys- sorry.

@ORH_wxman- where's the top. map from? been looking for a good one- Thanks!

Tip of the cap to @Supernovice, calling the media hysteria. I’m hopeful it’s a false alarm. 

To be clear- my posts were not calling out media hysteria. I actually think this is a potentially HUGE deal. And I didn’t even expect a market reaction until early next week tbh - so wrong there.

two caveats—first- small sample sizes can lead to wildly distorted analysis- so it’s possible this isn’t as bad as it seems.

secondly one thing my job taught me is if I’m looking at data in an area I have no expertise in- and it’s telling me a clear story- I should be very wary. The clearer the story it tells the more dangerous my analysis tends to be- like lose ur job dangerous. Just keep that in mind and listen to the experts.

I just read it's like 10 cases and no alarm yet. They said these mutations tend to burn out

It’s 59 confirmed cases- this is the only code red email I’ve gotten since  early January 2020. 

Anyways- obvs hope the experts are wrong but given the UK just announced travel restrictions I don’t think the concern is unwarranted I digress- it’s dessert time.

Ugh who said that

The WHO has an emergency meeting tomm the western world will hear about it then. SA health authorities did a presser today I believe.
