Random Thoughts or Whatever

In his "present" yes, if one disregards the instigation of his ex-pal der Fuhrer.
I doubt FDR was as intrinsically pugnaciously adventurous as TR without that motivation.
In that JS got it wrong.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Still on the "flaky" binge!

Where does "flaky" come from to describe a person's character?


Heard of "crusty" old-types"...but "flaky" escapes me.

Random, sky-in-the-pie thinking?

Boston and New York City are 215 miles apart, yet the cities are served by served by 100 more flights than trains.

Seen the state of our "T" (MBTA) and commuter rail & such lately? , , , , , I'll take my chances flying.....

Didn't know about the "baseball" orig, LFQ...the rest, I already kinda knew.


As per "crusty"...just took a look-see and determined that the "thick crust", indicated a person who's outer character was rude/brazen not caring what others think, eh?

Can now appreciate the "upper crust" folk in this same way.


English...don't ya love it? Can see why non-English speakers struggle with this language.

Is craptocurrency next?

 

[Quadman2]

Random question- Which is faster HEAT or COLD?

Random answer-HEAT! You can always catch a cold.


Q

Is craptocurrency next?

It's enjoying it's "moment". Let's let it, but it'll be goin' down soon 'nuff.

 

[GordonW]

Is craptocurrency next?

I don't get those who think of crypto as an "investment".

Best case, short term, it's an arbitrage.

Best case, long term, it's just another currency.

Worst case, long term- it's a Ponzi scheme.

Unfortunately, it's starting to not be a good arbitrage as much, anymore. It's going to be interesting to see which of the long term options turns out to be true.

Regards,
Gordon.
