In regards to reasonable doubt, if the Dream Team could convince a jury that there was reasonable doubt in the O.J. Simpson case then surely some good defense lawyers could have done it in this one. This case actually gave me a flashback to that one. Same level of interest and suspense at the end w...

In the aftermath of the verdict I'm getting the impression that a lot of people on the left, both politicians and the MSM, are actually disappointed. So go figure. They immediately released more reasons to riot right after. There will be riots. An excuse will emerge. The excuse is immaterial. https...

Main difference is that when I retire, I'll dump out all my 401K/403b accounts into a single IRA so that I have full control over the investments, and add it to my GB. Except I'm planning to leave some in TIAA-CREF and convert to an annuity when ready. Not really a difference except for how you int...

Yellowest teeth I’ve ever seen were on a guy from west Texas; I worked with him in the late 60s, early 70s when we lived in the Houston area. He said it was the result of a lot of fluoride in the water when he was growing up. He also said he had never had a cavity. He was 45 or 50 when I knew him. ...

That's possible, but I'm an engineer and got selected to serve on a jury a couple of years ago. In that case, the attorneys seemed more interested in dismissing potential jurors who possessed bias (or the potential for bias) against their side. Mainly people who had close relationships with people ...

I ask because as a layperson, I have the impression that the jury's job here is tougher than many people think. Some of the legal analysis, going both ways, has been very interesting. Reminds me of when Oliver Darden told the O.J. Simpson jury in his closing argument as a prosecutor that they had a...

I'm finding it kind of amusing that when I considered myself a Lew Rockwell ant-state type libertarian I held much the same view of the police as the left does today, only without the rioting and violence. Too bad technovelist isn't here to comment on that. I believe he was big on the idea of abolis...

This is not a hypothetical question to me as I'm 71 years old, retired, and use the Golden Butterfly. Without giving you exact breakdowns, my design is to try to arrange things taking into account taxes + long term growth potential. (The latter is just a guess, of course, while the former is as cert...

I looked at my wife and baby tonight, and i don't know if i would have had the courage to hang the jury if i thought he was not guilty. It's basically a death sentence for you and possibly your family. Ditto. I would have never agreed to be on that particular jury in the first place. During the jur...

Verdict to be announced shortly, according to Fox News.

Brace for impact!

She thinks the covid shrunk the heart muscle back to normal capacity ... Sounds like a weird reaction to a Virus but if it's true it also sounds like COVID might be beneficial to people like you. I've read that long distance cyclists and marathon runners tend to have an enlarged heart problem due t...

Gotta stop wearing masks too. I was in some businesses over the weekend that didn't require masks.....Florida.

Still seeing masks most places I go but at Lowes they had a table with hand sanitizer and a sign that said "Clearance Sale, while supplies last".

Thought that was an encouraging sign.

Disney entertainment chief says ABC passes on 'incredibly well-written scripts' because they don't meet new diversity standards 'I will tell you for the first time we received some incredibly well-written scripts that did not satisfy our standards in terms of inclusion, and we passed on them,' Wald...

Gonna try this tonight because maybe what I'm thinking is an unusually severe seasonal allergy is something else.

Unfortunately I only have 2000 IU pills so I have to take 5 of them and for some reason those tiny little pills always get stuck in my throat.

Once again....the best way to end this pandemic is to stop testing. Stop it all.

That's what they finally did with H1N1. Doubt it will happen with COVID. Can you imagine how the MSM would scream if their fear porn was taken away?

I've noticed lately that both FZFXX and FDRXX, both of which I use, one in taxable and the other my IRA, say n/a in the gain/loss columns. Is this because they don't want customers seeing that their cash is actually losing money? Don't remember this always being the case but I could be wrong. I used...

Gold works in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform.

I don't think anybody ever came up with a catchy rhyme to tell you when to get back in the market.

So here goes....

Sell in May and Go away.

Buy in October and try to stay Sober.

(Sorry but words that rhyme with October are hard to come by).

I recently had an error notification on my car - logged into a forum for my type of car. Had my local mechanic pull the code. Got all the repair notices for that code, reviewed YouTube videos on the problem and how to repair. Took it into the dealer - they said it would be $185 to pull the code - t...
