  1. Watched the first episode and thought it was ok. I wish they showed more of the training like Band of Brothers did to get to know the characters.  Don’t see it living up to Band of Brothers but I’ll keep watching for sure. 
     

    I had an old neighbor who piloted B-17s in WW2 and it made me wish I got to talk to him more when I had the chance.

    12/$325 with $50 posting fee. Seems like the Mets had the largest offer and forced the Dodgers to match.  My biggest fear if the Yankees signed him was the years. 12 is crazy for a little dude that’s never pitched in MLB. The contract has opt outs but if he gets hurt or never realizes his potential, you are on the hook for a long time. Snell must be happy by these numbers. Dude gonna get paid. 

    Snell can’t be too happy with that AAV because he’s not getting 12 years

    Or even a Rivian (yes, I know, substantial price difference vs the “base” Cybertruck price :p ). It has a god damn built-in kitchen as a factory option:

    I like the look of the Rivian and it has a lot of cool features and more overall cargo room than typical mid size trucks. I’ve ridden in one and was surprised at the leg room in the back seat. I wish there was a service center around me.

    This one is widely-regarded as the definitive biography for Napoleon:

    Nearly finished with this. I really enjoyed it and am realizing how much I didn’t know of Napoleon. It’s amazing how much of the British propaganda about him is still believed today.
     

    Now I’m probably going to go down a rabbit hole of reading about the battles in more detail. Might just do that in order starting with his Italian campaign.

    Listen, my mortgage is locked in at 1.29% until spring of 2026, so I just need rates to drop back to that level by then! (Canadians typically can only lock in rates for 5 years on mortgages due to the differences in the industry between Canada and the US).

    I personally don’t think we will see the rates of 2020-2022 for a long long long time.

    I think you got UBS and Deutsche Bank mixed up :p

     

    FORTUNE.COM

    "The bottom line: Something is afoot with the US economy," wrote UBS's Jason Draho.

     

    Their rate cut prediction is 275 basis points by end of ‘24 

     

     

    WWW.CNBC.COM

    UBS expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 275 basis points in 2024, almost four times the market consensus.
