    Or a cat that identified as a dog?
    There is a cat in my house right now named "Fish" because people the age of my children have a strange sense of humor.
    I don't care a whole lot whether Fish is alive or dead other than if he's dead, I'd appreciate Schrodinger or someone removing him from the house.

    The lesson I take from the cat in the box is that , given enough time, certain outcomes are inevitable.
    Leave the cat in the box long enough and it will be dead and someone will owe taxes because of it.

    Likewise if we hold GME long enough.

    Well it was 2 in the morning. Or close. Whatever.
    What do you want me to do, tuck you in before I leave?

    Did you guys have a good week?
    I watched GME nip at $150 on Thursday, I almost bought the $150 puts, and I didn't. I clicked on the damn thing like an hour later and it was $137. I think the $150's were $4.40 when it was $150.
    Oh well.

    I have been having fun detailing the inside of the Tacoma.
    I took the front seat covers off, and those things were pristine. The seat covers were oem, or whatever the dealer sold when I bought the truck, but they were a custom fit.
    Here's the even better news, and I had forgotten this, but when I bought it, I paid to have everything Scotch-Guarded. I thought the carpet was trashed because of the dog hair, but I got it all out of there, the friggin carpet looks like new now. A friend of mine had some gray mats he gave me yesterday, new, and they're almost a perfect match to the factory ones. It's lookin good inside.

    So where's this market heading? Like I said, I had a terrible week, but I did go long on Friday (overnight from Thursday) so it eased the pain a little. And I rode the position all the way to close.

    As unituitive as this sounds, I think tech is gonna keep climbing, at least for Monday. I have $300 calls on the Q's over the weekend. Small position.

    I think we determined that as long as you don't look at it, the market is both green and red.

    I submitted the application for the job Monday night. Since it's a county job I expect the bureaucratic process to take a hot minute. I also have a rough framing inspection called in on Monday. I'll let the current inspector know I put in for the job and that might kick the process in the ass a bit.

    You missed the point of that scene entirely. It worked for Kevin Spacey.

    Unwilling males was the last thing I read about that worked for him.

    I didn't miss it.

    Pitt makes a conscience choice to open the box to gain knowledge of it's contents. That knowledge turns him into wrath. Created by Spacey after putting Paltrows head in that box. The only thing not already done in that series is the opening of the box.

    It's a parable that man's quest for knowledge will eventually backfire on him. Pitt makes the choice. Not Spacey.

    The question isnt who opened the box, it's who it 'worked for', i.e. whose interests were served.

    That'd be John Doe, not Pitt's character.

    Nope. The OG question is why didn't Schrodinger just open the box to answer the question. Pitt opened the box to answer the question "What's in the box?". Whose interest opening the box served was never the question. lol

    Man, we all know what was in Schrodinger's box:

    Also technically Morgan Freeman opened the box. Pitt just looked in it.

    The only party I hold blameless is the UPS guy.
