Quote from: grumbler on Today at 07:49:20 AMI 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.  :P

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.  :(

Quote from: HVC on Today at 02:43:45 AMTechnically 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.

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.
