Same. Kicking myself for not getting more. It's 5% of my portfolio, and I was trying to get it to 20%. Oh well.

Sheesh. The pope is the head of the Catholic church. There are about 1.4 billion Catholics in the world, about 75 million of whom live in the US. Catholics make up about 20% of US voters, and they are a fickle group when it comes to voting. Now, I'm not Catholic, and the pope has no...

I'm withholding judgement on the new events until I see some results and thoughtful analysis. So far, it looks like more of a meme war between bots. One guy says a Chinese tanker got through, another guy says that tanker came from UAE, not Iran. Trump says China agreed to stop selling...

I agree with most of that, with a few exceptions. Europe is a large and powerful region, and probably always will be. I would much rather have them as allies than as neutral or hostile to our interests. I don't think we are at serious risk of losing them as long-term allies, so this is not...

Not to Catholics.

Three years is a long time to wait while there's a hot war on the continent, which already caused them problems with natural gas supplies, plus a hot war in the Middle East that is already causing problems with oil supplies, and the Middle East issues were caused by Trump. The Europeans are not...

Speaking of Christians, the latest news I'm getting is that Trump is posting pictures of himself as Jesus and antagonizing the Pope. That seems like a bad idea.

They won't leave European alliances for the US, especially with Trump in office. In fact, the Europeans are working together more closely than they have in decades while simultaneously moving away from the US. All the Europeans see Trump as an obnoxious buffoon. Not only are the politicians...

None of mine are fancy or expensive. They all serve a purpose, and they all do it well. I guess my new AR has a slight edge because it's new, and I built it. Haven't shot it yet, but it's pretty cool.

I think they get it no matter what they want or need. I don't want it, but it keeps messing with my typing.

KAK has some longer barrels on sale.

I'm telling you, autocorrect is out of control.

Well I asked AI if it was responsible, and basically it said yes and even included an example. Sabotague indeed.

It seems like I'm correcting autocorrect more than it is correcting me. Anyone else having this issue? Is it an AI training thing?

I'll add that bass skin does have off flavors, so it's best to skin it, whereas you can scale perch. Growing up, no one liked bass that much. I watched a CD that came with a filet knife my grandfather purchased, and it recommended skinning bass. It was a revelation. Now we generally prefer...
