    what about kishu?

    Haven't looked at it, I don't even have an account setup yet but I'm intrigued by the potential with little downside.

    It sounds like a safe bet to take you to the moon. Why wouldn’t you throw money at this crypto?!

    Throw a couple hundred at it, if you lose a couple hundred it's not a big deal but if it gets caught up in the craze and even goes to 10 cents you'll be happy.

    Is that a crypt? Where can u buy that?


    .

    Yes, it's a crypt, just read an article on cryptos since they caught my attention with the conversations on here and that one looks like a good one to throw a few dollars of play money at, don't know where to buy it, I assume you need a coinbase acct. I don't have one but I think I might get an acct just in case something tickles my fancy.

    Putting some potash in the garden for tilling before we plant veggies Memorial day. Partly cloudy. Breezy but comfortable

    Should I mix some leftover ash from my wood stove with the soil? This is my first year getting serious about a garden so any tips will be appreciated.

    They have one of those cashier-less markets at Dallas Love Field now.  The employee is still required to ease the confused customers.

    Same at the Cumberland in Westborough, the cashiers are always helping people use the dam thing.

    And If those automated areas raise the wages of the few employees they have left at those stores, the prices go up...smh. Even stop n shop has a stupid robot that rolls around the store detecting spills. They spent $100k on that thing but it doesn’t even clean the spill. It detects it then tells a human over the megaphone to go clean it up lol. Can’t make this stuff up 
     

    Shaw's near me has one too, my first thought was how much did this thing cost, second was what the hell is it.

    I love the new gop narrative that the Carter years are back because of one single computer hack that crippled a pipeline. Somehow that's bidens fault. Give me a break. 

    Was listening to sports radio this morning and a guy calls in that was laid off due to Covid, he was collecting $1,000 per week for over a year and had to go back to work at a hospital for 15 hours a week for minimum wage, he quit and went back on the dole, no way he can make more than $1,000 a week with no skills.

  8. I recently had an electrician connect a security system at my house, he had to slither through trusses and walk the line on rafters to get the wiring through the attic, not sure how he did it but it helped that was about 5'6" 130lbs, he was about 60 years old and pretty wiry.

  9. My nieces husband just quit his job as a cop to be an electrician apprentice with his brother, he figures the pay will be better eventually and it's less dangerous.

    My front lawn looked great yesterday.   Last year was a struggle with drought.  Let's see how this year goes.  Missed just about all the rain last night.

    You have an awesome spot, nice yard to sit outside and enjoy the view.

    Of my 3 apple trees the Empire is poorest at converting blossoms to fruit - was also the last to begin flowering despite being the biggest of the three.  Its (rare) fruit is very good and the one scabby little apple from there was the year's entire 3-tree crop last year.  The Ultramac alternates between good-not-bumper crops and near nothing (last year) and the fruit is excellent.  The Haralred was planted in 1999, a year after the other two, and has been the most severely pruned including removal of one of 2 equal forks about 10 years ago.  I thought sacrificing half the tree was better than a paste-bomb split; April 2020 would've been a candidate, or perhaps the super crop of 2017 would've done it.  The fruit is harder and a bit more tart than the Ultramac and takes a morning or two in the upper 20s to rein in that tartness.  I've occasionally stuck some tree spikes into the ground, but apart from pruning have done no other culturing - no bug/scab/disease treatments.  Most apples have some minor defects but they don't affect the flavor and the worst end up as applesauce or apple butter.

    I got two apples last year on my Delicious tree, the deer got both of them so I'm not sure how good they are, I expect more this year and I'll have to beat the deer to them this time.

    Novavax is my lifetime home run.   Bought Nov 19 at $5.  Rode it to $330 and got greedy.   Really looking at selling it today at $140. The management is inept. They have a fantastic product.  They will make money in the future and possibly be bought out. 

    I've been waiting for to take this vaccine because it's the safest. Unfortunately I'll be forced by work to take something else. 

    Greed has killed me a few times, I've learned to sell a portion to lock in profits and let a little ride, learned the hard way.

    ARKG I'm up 92%

    ARKK I'm up 128% 

    Thinking about pulling the trigger. 

    Sell some and take some profits, maybe hold on to a little in case it flies

    Do you sign him long term? Tough call. You don't want another Coyle.

    He's said he's wanted be here for awhile and his agent is Bobby Orr, I'd sign him, I think this is the place for him to revive his career, former number one pick and MVP, kids got talent.

    Yea. Anything above 60 is dank to me. Keep it below that and I’m good. 

    60 is the magic number for me too, or I should say my english-scottish wife who hates heat and humidity.

    Man, BOS is going to be in for a lot of below average snowfall seasons with a 49.1" average now....get ready for all the news stories about climate change depleting their snowfall (while ignoring that it went up like 8 inches between the 1961-1990 and 1991-2020 norms)

    What would it be if you removed 2015 from the average? Would it be much closer to the old average?

    This is an awesome story.  It is extremely hard to foster then give them up. We have had now 68 dogs we have fostered some for as little as a week and some as long as a year.  However the joy of knowing they are going to great loving homes is pretty cool. Both our foster pups have been adopted. I fell in love with this guy, you can just tell the temperment even at a very young age. He will be a great pet going to a family in NY. They were at my house yesterday, the connection was instant. Often times the dogs sense they are safe immediately.  Cool stuff

    Well, I've heard of a few cases where the patient was largely asymptomatic, but there was enough damage in the lungs that they had low very low blood oxygen and the tingling in the extremities that goes with it. I'm not a doctor though, so take with a heap of salt. Best wishes for a speedy recovery at any rate!

    Interesting, Ill have my sister ask him, thanks.
