What One Book Have You Read The Most Times

The Doors of Perception Brave New World 1984 The God Delusion The Exorcist I'd reread The Great and Secret Show for the third time (and Everville a second time) if ghey boy would ever complete the trilogy. -
Looking ahead to UFC 300. Charles Olivera, Jiri Prochalka and Jim Miller at all plus money? Yes please. I think Sterling opened as the dog too but that line has moved. Holly Holm as a huge underdog. More about her opponent later. Pereira is going to murder Hill in the main event.

Today 4 living presidents are in NYC. 3 are going to a fundraising event with Stephen Colbert and Lizzo. 1 is at a wake for a slain NYPD Officer. -
Gas up $0.30 this past couple weeks. Halfway back to all time highs. The inflation rate is teetering on ticking back up at least until June/July. That's why the feds haven't cut rates yet.

Key Bridge in Baltimore struck by ship-collapses

Let me see if I can help you out a little bit. If you were sitting on a three legged stool and one of the legs broke you'd certainly fall over. This ship hit one of the two major piers of the signature main span (elevated span that the ships go under). Assuming the containership weighs roughly 165,000 tons moving at a paltry 5 miles per hour that would impact a force equal 800,000 pounds to the side of the pier columns (assuming we wanted the column to hold and immediately stop the ship in say 1 second). It's a punching sheer force that I would have to have one of my engineers calculate, if we knew the exact dimensions and makeup of the columns, but a 800,000lb point side load impact to a column is certainly greater than concrete and rebar can withstand. This span's shape is more like two sawhorses holding a sheet of plywood than it is a three legged stool. The ship completely took out one of the sawhorses. 4 of the 8 legs (or two legs if you simplified it down to a normal 4-leg rectangular table). There are giant rocker bearings on top of each sawhorse, basically giant pins. So, once the main span fell the span you see to the right in the video rotated about those pins and started a domino effect. Bridges are obviously designed for impacts, more so now than in the 1970s. Your waterski boat would have a hard time making a scratch. But at some point the cost and feasibility to protect against a 165,000 ton container ship becomes too large an effort. -

Ditto for anyone touting housing and rent costs being high as a good thing right now.

Just an FYI. "People spending, spending, spending" isn't a good sign for an economy with high inflation. The Fed's raising interest rates are part of a long-standing monetary practice with a simple goal. By making it more expensive to borrow money, whether through loans, credit cards or other financial tools, people and businesses will spend less and inflation will fall to a desirable level. The posters that keep saying people are spending like crazy, malls and restaurants are packed, like it's a good thing have a backwards understanding of what is really happening with the economy.
