OT - David Tepper to purchase NFL's Carolina Panthers
Gamecock-YT replied to TorontoRaptorsFan's topic in General Discussion
they should fire Hurney before he puts them back in salary cap hell...guess maybe the boss could've been the one to tell him to sign his favorites to ridiculous contracts? -
this girl doing interviews on the yahoo broadcast is really bad at it.

I wish the hornets would have hired him. They need a good rebuild ASAP.

Uber/Lyft have defective business model?
Gamecock-YT replied to DTEJD1997's topic in General Discussion
it looks like the bike in the WSJ picture is here on google maps: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.4369934,-111.9429875,3a,37.5y,102.55h,81.01t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1scUyILaxFs5z63AL2SupCJw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 what is interesting is the bike lane and the turning lane practically 'switch'. A car heading northbound on Mill Ave and turning right on Curry Rd would cross into a bike rider going from the 'shoulder' bike lane when crossing the previous bridge to a bike lane at the intersection which is towards the middle of the road. Impact to the car is to the front right quarter panel, which would lead to that scenario making sense. EDIT: Reports say she might have been trying to reach the island in the middle of the road instead? -
I have seen the future of grocery stores

Nice timing of this thread getting bumped and another article about the grocery store bar being published: https://www.charlotteagenda.com/118667/get-lobster-dinner-south-end-less-cost-one-charlotte-cocktail/ Have to scroll past the lobster bit, but 3/4s of the way down the page it talks about the bar: -
I have seen the future of grocery stores
Gamecock-YT replied to DTEJD1997's topic in General Discussion
I'm sorry, I don't mean to be insulting. But if you think those prices are inexpensive you're delusional. I can walk into my liqueur store and buy high quality German beer for $2.10 (tall boys 500 ml). For $30 ($6 a glass) I can buy a good Burgundy. For $18-$24 I can buy a very good bottle of Cotes du Rhone. The quality of these wines are very likely much, much higher than what you get in your grocery store glass. These are regular price btw, no sales. I live in Canada where alcohol is expensive due to taxes. I'm sure the prices are lower in the US for these items. I should mention that I am someone who has plenty of money. I consider the prices you've listed as very high and would not pay. The idea that an average person would consider that very inexpensive is incorrect to say the least. Liquor store is the same as a bar in Canada? Grocery store is the same as a bar in the US? https://www.charlotteagenda.com/41470/theres-a-killer-little-bar-in-harris-teeter-really/ as someone who has plenty of money, you would have a ball here. I guess you could finish up with the $12 cocktails we have in town afterwards, no doubt you can get them much cheaper and better quality in Canada at the liquor store bar. There is no liquor store bar in Canada..not sure why you guys are willfully misunderstanding each other but OK. Typical prices in Canadian bars are: $6-$8 per beer...maybe as cheap as $4 in Montreal or if you go to the right college bar. But $3 for beer, AT A BAR, is very cheap. But the real question is whether you are really getting a "Bar" inside a grocery store...typically people get drunk at bars, party, dance and socialize. The grocery store might not be conducive to that and so maybe it makes sense that its cheaper since its not really achieving the same effect as a bar. because he was trying to be insulting/difficult. I've visited the country a few times to know they were talking out of their ass, just needed to give him enough rope. Not one of my strong points, but alas... -
Feel like I answered that already.... And to add to that from alwaysinvert: So the primary impact on people who are: 1) Government officials 2) Police 3) Long-term inhabitants of the area 4) The people who die in terrorist bombings Tourists will be pretty much ok. Which explains why you didn't have a problem. so you've been to moleenbeek, yes? Rode the tram through town? Looked at the folks getting on the trains during those stops? Maybe you answered it already...

So obviously there is a huge problem in Molenbeek and it is a real life no-go zone. Incidentally the Paris and Madrid attacks alone account for more than 300 people killed and that is in a space of around 11 years. School mass shootings (>3 people dead in a single incident) in the US have a total death toll over 4 decades of less than 300. So all the lefties ringing their hands over US school shooting seem oddly complacent about the European no-go zones though they seem to be causing far more mass death and at a vastly faster rate than all the mass school shootings happening in the US. If Moleenbeek is a no-go zone, I'm not sure how I made the round trip from Brussels center city to the Atomium in one piece. Lucky, I guess.

AVITAS publishes a blue book that you might be able find at a library. There are other similar aviation consultant companies who do something similar. There's also a fella on the airliners.net that publishes values every quarter or so, username is LAXintl Quick search last one I could find was spring 2017: http://www.airliners.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1361025&hilit=Aircraft+Values -
VGSH yields 1.1%, if you buy the 2 year treasury, it yields close to 2%. I'm more confident that I can sell my 2% 2 year treasury in case shit hits the fan than I can sell VGSH at $60 or whatever it trades at. I'm also more confident that the 2 year treasury will trade at close to a 2% yield or even lower in case shit hits the fan. I think that the ETF could trade all over the place. yields 1.1%? That's like the Vanguard Money Market fund. YTM and SEC Yield is 1.9%.

Why not just buy VGSH?

Still have 3 out of 4 left. Maybe next time, Charlotte.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/13/style/bitcoin-millionaires.html At a jazz bar a few days later, I run into Mr. Fickel’s personal trainer, Alan Chen, who is now running in this crypto circle. Mr. Fickel had convinced Mr. Chen to put his savings into Ethereum. “I’m retired, man,” Mr. Chen said. “I’m moving to L.A. next week. I got a penthouse on Marina del Rey.” “Don’t say I’m retired,” he added. “I’m going into business now. I’m going to use blockchain to help personal trainers.” nuts
