palavra! Here's an interesting historical perspective. Japan’s Investment Success in Brazil: Economic Savvy or Rooted in History? "In the last few years, Japanese involvement in Brazil has taken a business turn. Beermaker Kirin’s recent takeover of Brazilian brewing company Schincariol exemplifies Japan’s commercial capability and influence in Brazil. Kirin spent $2.6 billion to become the majority shareholder of Schincariol, which brought in $1.8 billion in revenue in 2010. It is Brazil’s second-largest beer producer, behind AmBev, which became the world’s largest brewer when it merged with Anheuser-Busch in 2008. With a strong yen for funding acquisitions and a shrinking Japanese beer market, Kirin is doing exactly the same as many other foreign companies: partnering, doing business, and investing in emerging markets, including Brazil’s." and then, Kirin bowing out of Brazil beer market I just took some funds that are earmarked for deck and dock improvements and bought a little AmBev. I'm hoping to sell the shares next year and use a little better materials for my backyard project. This is the 3rd time I've owned ABEV and am prepared to hold longer if I have to. Octoberfest in Blumenau. Carnival is coming up. Beer, opa!

May have already been mentioned here but the first season of this was pretty good. It's definitely R rated and don't watch it if you don't like boobs.

Conn Iggulden wrote an excellent factual/fictional (Micheneresque) accounting of Mongol conquests. Conn Iggulden : Genghis Conquerer Series When you saw the black flag you knew you were f*ck3d.

I ran PSV's, OSRV's and AHTV's in support of oil and gas in various locations. The last company I worked for was Chouest in W. Africa and Brasil (loved it) and when oil crashed I went back to the Gulf of Mexico (hated it). I'm retired now. I never worked in the North Sea but am familiar with the weather conditions and have great admiration for anyone who can endure it.

Stop it. You're gonna make me buy more.

Shittybank's been no schlacker on buybacks.

All my old heroes are dropping like flies. I saw Gary Wright with Peter Frampton back in the 70's. RIP

Here's to hoping McLane is getting a big slice of their business.

Probably doesn't belong here but I thought this might interest some. Aldi says it will buy 400 Winn-Dixie, Harveys groceries across the southern U.S.

You need some Nintendo with that.

I watched that one. Lot's of shots on goal. Both sides hit the back of the net once plus a nice match winning worm burner!

ABBV 4.3% ABT 2.4% ADSK 3.8% BRK 16.2% C 2% CMCSA 1.5% DIS 7.8% (I've been adding) DPZ 9% EW 10.8% GOOGL 6.5% (wish I would've bought more) HTL 1.3% (coffee can) INTC 3.2% (like weak beer) MO 1.1% (worse than weak beer) NTDOY 11.2% (might add more) NVO 14.4% cash 4.4% mostly committed to short dated ITM C puts. Bold means I plan on owning 4 a while. Italics means I might have to baghold 4 a while to see a return (if ever).

Pontoons are the best!

Winner, winner! Steady incremental mobile additions in between major console releases. Major release otw as the chart struggles for higher lows and higher highs. All they gotta do is not screw it up.

I'll start.

My friends say I'm frugal but I'm not buying it... would look great on a t-shirt with a simple, minimalist "CoBF" signature.

There's a workaround for issuing likes!

They sure don't make it easy to find what you want on the support forum. https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/444711-mix-advanced-reaction-settings-support-topic/

The devs do not make it easy to enable this feature. It seems to be a ranking system that's customizable so that a users reputation can be enhanced or dinged based on "reactions". https://invisioncommunity.com/forums/topic/440458-how-do-you-enable-reactions-on-posts/ I'm betting that there might be a simpler invision forum plugin to allow upvote/downvote of posts.
