Once I realized that traders are really full of shit and engineers can solve the problems that traders can't, being an engineer it was all down hill after that.

The last place I worked had 40% turnover annually. I would just walk around and not know anybody at all hardly. Dysfunction was the order of the day. Some people are going to rule by not giving in to the new ways of doing everything, they will let everybody else go down that road while they...

Yes, I focus on the body articulations when I am working out, they are what gets injured, I try to judge the weight not by what a muscle can do but how the joint feels when working that much weight. {All this is not going to buy me much if I don't work out more often of course :) }

I dl'd a few interesting items from the site and eventually, after uninstalling them even, my machine was completely horked up. I then proceeded to further hork it up by trying to reinstall the os with a recover disk, something was running in the background that interfered with the reinstall so...

Thanks for the thread Matt.. I'm just trying to be strong enough to do ordinary every day things like maybe change a car tire or move some furniture with others helping. The way my knee and foot is I can't treadmill, only walk to the diner for lunch, about a mile and a half round trip. I'm...

So... I can take Steve46 off the ignore list?

Putin is leading a country that started the cold war, then lost it, and made the US rich in the process. Isn't that a little embarrassing when it is all said and done?? Now he has to make it sound like he is important somehow, like in the good old days of threatening the US with missiles. I...

Welcome to ET, lots of trashing of sincere people here, it may not be as vicious as it seems, people just might be trying to protect the site from spammers, just deal with it if you can. Awesome thread and thanks for the help to date. I'll have lots of questions eventually. I have a buddy...

I've studied both kinds of markets up close for decades, I'm betting on the drug guy!!

My left knee feels like a 16 penny nail was driven through it. I can walk a mile or two but that's it.

That is one eye opening book. I realize now that the same things are being done inside the US, the money guys use the politicians to use the public sector's money to get their own stuff done. It was probably always that way to some extent but now it is accelerated with lobbying up to a $12...

It must be a world wide one, birds seem to be everywhere. Speaking of logistics, you would have to cross every border in the world with seed to feed all the birds. There would be duty taxes to be paid, bribes, searches to be endured, once the bird feed news got out the border police everywhere...

Hitler prospered because he stole the wealth of the upper middle class for one thing. Hey, wasn't this about Hugo Chavez... same story different country? If the landowners got their land by stealing it from the mestizos it does not logically follow that the mestizos will prosper by having it...

Same goes for "agrarian state" and "socialist revolution" but they do it all over the world.

I'll just go with the reports from the people that were imprisoned, I think they would be a good source of info. The rest of the stuff is filtered through the political process.

those phone calls to the cab company reminded me of a wrong number call I got once. I plainly told the guy that he had the wrong number a couple times. Eventually he says "so when do you want to do this?" I had no idea what he was talking about but I said "tomorrow morning" and he says "what...

For a little perspective on wealth: The richest guy on earth could not afford the bird seed to feed the world's birds for an hour. Supposedly factual, I never bothered to try to check it out, I doubt if the truth is far off from that characterization.

The guy that watched her shave her head pretty much said she was acting irrational, real nervous and jumpy. If I hung around with Paris Hilton for awhile I'd probably be nuts too!! These famous kids have a rare addiction problem, addicted to attention, I wonder if there is a clinic that works...
