What you fellas think about tomorrow?
If inflation is up less than expected, then markets would start pricing in earlier pivot and, perhaps, just 50bp rise at the next meeting.
If inflation perked up (less likely, imho, since gas prices are not increasing), the we might jerk down.
Place your bets.
It might go up, or down, or go sideways tomorrow.  |

And, Buddy, if you keep up with this 19K bullshit, I'm reporting you to the moderator. And don't try to give me an explanation again. I've heard it all before.  |

It detected these concentric rings around a distant star, whatever they are. https://www.space.com/james-webb-space-telescope-odd-ripples-image The James Webb Space Telescope captured mysterious concentric rings around a distant star that astronomers are still working to explain.
The image, taken in July, was released on Twitter by citizen scientist Judy Schmidt, prompting a torrent of comments and head-scratching. It shows a star known as WR140 surrounded by regular ripple-like circles that gradually fade away. The circles, however, are not perfectly round, but have a somewhat square-like feel to them, prompting speculations about possible alien origins.
"I think it's just nature doing something that is simple, but when we look at it from only one viewpoint it seems impossible, at first, to understand that it is a natural phenomenon," Schmidt told Space.com in an email. "Why is it shaped the way it is? Why is it so regular?" Mark McCaughrean, an interdisciplinary scientist in the James Webb Space Telescope Science Working Group and a science advisor to the European Space Agency, called the feature "bonkers" in a Twitter thread.
"The six-pointed blue structure is an artifact due to optical diffraction from the bright star WR140 in this #JWST MIRI image," he wrote. "But red curvy-yet-boxy stuff is real, a series of shells around WR140. Actually in space. Around a star."
He noted that WR140 is what astronomers call a Wolf-Rayet star, which have spat much of their hydrogen into space. These objects are also surrounded by dust, he added, which a companion star is sculpting into the strange shells.
Astronomers will know more soon thanks to a scientific paper currently under review about this mysterious phenomenon.
"Yes, those nested 'squircular' rings are real," Ryan Lau, an astronomer at NOIRLab and principal investigator of the project that acquired the observations, replied to the Twitter thread. "Our paper on this has been submitted so please stay tuned for the full story." To me, the 'squircular' form of these rings (and they are probably rings, not half-rings due to simply less bright second half (of the ring)) is the most puzzling part. Looking forward to the explanation of a strange form. This is the dummied down explanation. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/star-duo-forms-fingerprint-in-space-nasa-s-webb-finds... dust rings emanating from a pair of stars. Located just over 5,000 light-years from Earth, the duo is collectively known as Wolf-Rayet 140.
Each ring was created when the two stars came close together and their stellar winds (streams of gas they blow into space) met, compressing the gas and forming dust. The stars’ orbits bring them together about once every eight years; like the growth of rings of a tree’s trunk, the dust loops mark the passage of time.
“We’re looking at over a century of dust production from this system,” said Ryan Lau, an astronomer at NSF’s NOIRLab and lead author of a new study about the system, published today in the journal Nature Astronomy. This is the full explanation written in intricate astronomical jargon. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-022-01812-x |

By the way, some six days ago I got a feeling of a kind of tingling pain on the right side of my scalp, and when I brushed my teeth I felt pain in my gum on the right side. I didn't think much of it at first, but yesterday I got blister in my scalp as well so I went to see a doctor today, and it turns out I have shingles. So now I'm on valaciclovir, the pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be though.
Sending best wishes.  That would be like a death sentence for me. I'm terribly allergic to cats. The doctor is en route with a different box. Did he give a prescription to pick up from the chemist too?  |

The world's largest sex shop just ran out of dildos, people resorting to vegetable alternatives. Probably nothing...   |

Dude... I checked your post history. Enough of the links. Post an original comment or gtfo. Also, your user name is ridiculous.  |

If government can print as many currency notes as they want then why am I charged with Tax???
 I forget where I grabbed this image but it was probably here at BCT. It's an age-old question. There's some countries that don't charge income tax. https://home.kpmg/sa/en/home/services/tax/tax-tools-and-resources/tax-rates-online/individual-income-tax-rates-table.htmlAnguilla Antigua and Barbuda Bahamas Bahrain Bermuda Brunei Darussalam Cayman Islands Congo Oman Qatar Saint Kitts and Nevis Saudi Arabia United Arab Emirates Vanuatu What other taxes they charge is a different matter. No doubt most or all of them charge other taxes with a different name. |

So, the Lightning Network is pretty much off at the clubs getting absolutely wrecked on Peach Schnapps tonight.
How you guys doing?
Not too bad. I've been taking self defence lessons.  |

Since about mid-2020, I have been recommending $100 per week, but if you can only do $10 per week or some smaller amount, then do what you can.

It's a pity, those pods look pretty snazzy.

Yeah ooookay... then the real deal is a link showing one (priced at $1.5 million?!...seriously?) going cattywampus on launch. Doesnt look quite as fancy as those cgi images floating in perfectly calm blue waters. I get a kick out of the land ones too. (because "they are considering building them on land too") Poking up above the beautiful canopy of trees in the rainforest sitting on a large pole with an elevator or something. Seems legit... (sorry to piss on the parade, but that's just me bros... reality check etc...) Well this one is real anyway....  I agree that there's sometimes a huge difference between an architect's vision vs reality. These probably looked completely different as cgi images.       |

Elon Musk's buying twitter again. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-63137114Billionaire Elon Musk has apparently changed his mind about buying Twitter, again, and is now willing to proceed with his takeover of the social media platform.
In a letter to the firm, Mr Musk agreed to pay the price he offered months ago before trying to quit the deal.
The surprise reversal comes just weeks before the two sides were due in court. Probably. Some industry watchers, who were taken by surprise by the development, questioned whether the latest twist was a concrete offer or a delay tactic. |
