Saturday afternoon a nasty thunderstorm rolled through. Lots of wind, rain and even some hail. Nothing is damaged at :melon: haus but, several trees down and went without power for a bit.

Being frightened of Alphabet citizen lawsuits is no way to live your life and will turn you into a Cheeto voter right soon
There are a bunch of women getting pulverized by xy chromosome athletes at the Olympics as we speak. Whoever is pushing this plan, seems to have a global stage. :iono:

Storm surge prep even though it’s unlikely to be a problem at all for me. Looking at surge maps and it should only be an issue for a cat 3 and up. But I gotta change the oil soon anyways lol so I’m just one step ahead.

This particular human just sucks.
:notwrong: Ultimately we shouldn’t be discriminating against any group of people. It’s part of why I’m so frustrated by this though. I’ve had some kind of close relationship with four or five trans people. I’m cool with MahVal, but the other 3-4 were poor and I don’t like that I now have this bias.

Also no one should get special treatment without a legitimate reason. I can’t take 50% of my with time off and neither can anyone else where I work that’s a she or a he. This piece of shit can. Plenty of other similar things I’ve outlined as well.
For me if anything, I care about whether the person is a good person or at the very least decent person. Not someone who is an entitled prick like the one mahgriff has. As someone working in hospitality, I met a very good amount of people who are in lgbtq that are actually cool, but also some that seems to be very entitled as if they're a president of a hotel. This can go for anyone who acts as such. I'm polite to anyone, but if they ride all over me obviously that changes and when some notice that I am not as nice, they get :mindblown:

something like that, I think it was an IBC boxing match from what i read. I'm not fully caught up to news fuckery from last week :lol:

This is simple folks, in terms of genetics and sport xy = man and xx= woman. Sure intersex people exist, and while that sucks for them competitive, professional sports probably ain't in the cards for you for various reasons.

Everyone is NOT equal and we all get born with different advantages and disadvantages. I'd have loved to be a pro racing driver for example but wasn't born into money and am too tall and heavy to have made it in that profession anyway.

Just a random nasty thunderstorm.
We're not getting anything from the hurricane. In fact, we're getting dryer weather due to a high pressure system.

I had a little PTSD looking at that photo.

I did the same thing to the E30 and M3 when Ida hit, but there was no flooding.

I'll eat my words if it is, but a slight dip isn't the end of the world.

Slight dip depends on what and when you bought.

If you bought AMD at 212 and you’re sitting at 134 you’re likely not referring to it as such

True.

I don't have Nvidia shares but, I still lost a decent chunk today.

Hoping this is just an ebb & flow of the market and not a trend.

This is why I don’t generally look… just let it sit and check in a couple of times/year.
