"Oatmeal? But I have no milk.

I have butter."

pro-tip: keep a jar of powder milk in the pantry for emergency cereal
pro-tip2: just eat straight up butter

I almost basically am.

I feel like I left everybody hanging with this.

What happens is pretty much what happens with chocolate; it acquires a creamier and stickier texture and obviously warm temperature, which is obviously quite delicious. Sprinkle some sugar on top for optimum decadence and it is a delectable snack.

I don’t know why I thought the surface of it might toast, like develop some kind of cracky layer, but obviously it is oil, it just gets oily.

Excellent album. This Milt Jackson really brings out the best in Miles.

Not posting this in the thread it was found in out of respect for Urwrong, but,

Dude, didn’t you have liek a Jeep Wrangler growing up? And like muzzle loading guns? Did you ever spend a day without eating?

I’m not sure you know what poverty actually means.

And this is still true.

Buy rice.

two beef tacos and an horchata

I almost went for this, but cheapest was $4 and so nothing to put on it. Might still be worth it but twas put off for the morrow

It’s 5 CAD

Eggs, I’d buy eggs.

Yo, Pedro!

An actual woman discusses chess. Claims there are five myths. I’ll need you to either confirm them or rip them to shreds.

washingtonpost.com/outlook/ … story.html

1] Chess is dull and unsexy.
2] It takes genius to win at chess.
3] Strong chess players see dozens of moves ahead.
4] Deep Blue’s win in 1997 meant the end of chess.
5] The king is the most important piece in chess.

This is what I settled on. But then I went to my mommas and got me some food.

Still, for a bout $2-3… I think eggs are the clear winner. I mean a whole dozen. You could live at least 3 days on those.

Stocks, along with bonds, commodities and derivatives of all three, are what underlie all your money. Your pension, if you are not one of the rich, is not in cash, which would depreciate and leave you with nothing, it is in stocks. Stocks are what allow money made today to remain valuable tomorrow. Money doesn’t exist, it is a place-setter for commerce, for valuable business activity.

It is not what the rich are doing, it is what everybody is doing. Everybody that works and adds value to a business.

All bank value, except for some nominal minimum amount of cash, is in stocks. That is how they are able to keep up with inflation and even provide you with returns on your savings. If you don’t like this, you will have to take the money out of the bank and store it. But you won’t because you are aware that it would just depreciate.
