Re: Stonks

CRISPR stocks are my newest buy-and-hold long term investments. I don't play with fad stocks like GME. Well ... I bought a bunch of Tesla, which turned out to be a good choice. Dunno if you'd call it a fad stock. I also bought stock in their EV start-up rival Fisker. When they were way down, I bough...

Re: Post your bookshelf

Like ... a literal bookshelf, or a screenshot of an e-reader list of titles, or my Audible library which if I'm honest is how I consume most material these days. Literal books have been kind of a rare experience in my life lately. I went on a Philip K Dick reading binge a while back, and it reminded...

Re: The food and drink thread

I can't even imagine how tough it has been for small ethnic food restaurants (is it even politically correct to say 'ethnic food' anymore?). I guess you must have ordered take-out from them to support them during the pandemic? Nothing that sophisticated here, I'm happy to have found a couple of dec...

Re: The food and drink thread

GUEST_ffa1f253-75fd-4eaa-ac8d-ed136edf9a4b.jpeg Drake's has a distinctive style. BTW, yes that beer is 10% alcohol. There's just a massive amount of amazing food and drink options around here. Probably the best I've ever experienced anywhere in the world. They opened a new Afghani restaurant in a p...

Re: What are you here for?

Are both of you under the impression that you can't make a salad out of meat? I'm just saying, potatoes and meat can be a salad and not even a bad one. A little salt, oil, some fresh herbs and gelsemium elegans flowers for flavor. Consider it.

We all know we are all here because Madrigal threatened to kill anyone who didn't turn up.
Really? She told me if I came to the party she was going to put polonium-210 in an Englishman's salad. I'm still waiting to see what happens. How are you feeling?

Re: Seen on the street

Kinda missed the boat on this thread before. Really awesome murals. It's fascinating, the artist's mindset creating such amazing work with under these conditions. I suppose it's the adrenaline rush and the free publicity that offsets the ephemerality. How long do they typically last? Check the sect...

Re: user names made easy for the easily confused

Any chance we can post a list up of historic user names next to new names? I can't keep up with the changes. Is the one with the polar bear Oso for instance? etc etc It was Oso Mocoso, then Osito Polar, now Autochthonic. As long as you don't go look it up, Autochthonic is the Greek translation for ...

Re: Seen on the street

The first one looks great. Where the heck are you now? I’m down here in South Dakota this weekend and thought of you. How’s life treating you? I live in a woodsy neighborhood on Mount Diablo. There are farms and horse ranches in the neighborhood, but we're also very much like an island of old Calif...
