  1. That's the thing. I don't think the really big businesses will. The banks and big business will win. The rest of us will lose.
  2. I do almost everything on a credit card now. A lot of clerks now get visibly pissed off when I pay by cash now because they don't have enough bills, change in their machine. I just figured I was an old man who wasn't informed that cash is now frowned upon.
  3. Maybe, I just expect big corporations (whether it be the credit card company or Amazon) to find a way to screw me either way. Smaller companies are different. I am happy to get the rewards because if I don't, I suspect Amazon will find a way to to charge me more anyway. Maybe, I am just too cynical.
  4. It's probably a scam for those who don't pay in full every month. However, I pay in full every month, pay 0% interest and I get rewards. Losing the rewards wouldn't destroy me, but it would hurt a little.
  5. Great, Another bill to help mega-corporations and nobody else.
  6. Well, he paid none here, so it couldn't be less in other countries.
  7. Getting back to investing...I had two CDs mature yesterday, so I was eager to invest the money at great new rates and there is hardly anything available. I talked to a TIAA rep and he told me inventory is very low due to the hoilday. So, I'll try again next week. Patience.
  8. “I have quite a system that I go through before I open my mouth,” https://thecomeback.com/covid-19/john-stockton-thinks-1000-pro-athletes-died-covid-vaccine.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
  9. I bet that makes you popular with the chicks.
  10. It's always good to look at the components. However, my interest is in knowing whether the statcast numbers tell us more about run prevention than just looking at BB%, HR% and K%. Maybe we could do a regression where runs allowed = all the individual stats and see if there is a combination that tells us significantly more about run prevention than BB%, HR% and K%.
  11. In the social sciences, we get excited if the correlation is .15. 🙂
  12. Good work. What I'd be most interested in is how the statcast results correlate with performance stats such as FIP in the same year and future years. Are they adding anything that is not already explained by BB%, K% and HR%?
  13. Anybody who advertises themselves as an Alpha Male is a loser.
  14. It was sarcasm.
  15. The healthcare sector needs workers badly. For example, the cost of long-term care has doubled over the last six years because the supply is so much lower than the demand. And Americans won't do the home healthcare jobs.
  16. He was happy before Avila was fired too!
  17. You don't think voters will be drawn to Pence's charisma?
  18. That's what I mean. I can see him doing thosethings openly. He would tell us that he was doing it and then say he was just joking or that he never really said it. His supporters would tell us that Obama did the same thing.
  19. Not olnly would he try to steal the election, he would do it openly with the full support of the the Republican party except for a few communist RINOs.
  20. Trump can still win if it's a large field like 2016. If it's just him versus DeSantis, the Republican can probably make sure DeSantis wins.
  21. For a moment, I thought Luetga was the rapist from a few years back. I had him confused with Josh Lueke.
  22. Might life got busier since my baseball analysis and writing days. I haven't even been studying the new stats as closely as I used to. Maybe a good retirement project!
  23. All this angst over Reyes and the Castros? You gotta raise your bar. Take some chances in life!
  24. I thought it was sad. He can't even come up with any new stuff. He is now just a parody of himself.
