Off the Record / Re: Your Orientation?

I orient my bed based on the room, not the compass.  The foot of the bed faces the wall with the door in it.

This.  Well, close to this...door is on a side wall corner, and opposite would put the head in front of a window.  So the closest orientation that best matches that spirit.  Turns out to be S-N in this case. 

I just recently moved...was N-S in my last place.

I'm getting close to dumping my AI-bubble-adjacent stocks.  Not looking forward to the long-term CG taxes though on my AAPL, MSFT and AMAT holdings though.  They've been good over the years.

South-North, so that the Earth's magnetic field can recharge my brainwaves while I sleep.

Technically it for Doug Ford's government, so Ontario,  not Canada. Wasn't fake as far as I know, just Reagan quote about tariffs.

The Dems should follow suit and flood the airwaves with contrarian-to-Trump Reagan quotes.  His remarks about the Voting Rights act would be relevant nowadays too.

I had to check a map. My bed is oriented towards the Southwest to Northeast apparently. But of course that just follows the layout of the room.

Stop negotiating with bullies. He has no interest in making a deal.

A leonine deal, yes.

Definitely not, and Bill Clinton commented on that after Putin's initial moves towards Ukraine.  At the time it seemed like Ukraine was giving up a net burden for assurances that would mostly be a formality.  The calculus is obviously different in hindsight.

Of course, Lord Goldfish of Mar-a-Lago doesn't give a shit about any of this.  He just cares about what's in it for him.
