Thinking $ICO next, it's Korean ETH and it's $10.

I bought ICX at $5 so happy out. Mainnet launch coming towards the end of the month and they seem to be busy garnering partnerships all over the place.

Did another tactical interview. This time on 1-3-3-1, used by South Africa, Australia and Exeter(althoigh much differently it seems) These have been really good for me so far, helped clarify some thoughts and boosting the profile. I'm probably going to be doing a 1014 interview and also have some traction in the US at national level. I'd appreciate if you have a listen or even just click the link to boost the numbers.

I would have assume that there where two separate and unrelated labels.
As in a chicken could be raised in a concentration camp and still technically organic. Maybe not.
Originally posted by RichieM View PostI buy all my meat for cooking from a butcher and blindly presume that they are buying better treated animals than Tesco. Helps that it tastes way better.
Tesco buy their meat from farmers. Butchers by their meat from farmers. I'd imagine there's no difference at the same price points.

The likes of Dunnes, Supervalu etc appear in some places (SV knocklyn for example) to have a fairly good butchers.
My missus was quite convinced that if the shop had a butchers, they prepared all the packed meats as well.
Butchers counter steak = steak on the shelf that was wrapped up by the butcher that morning.
I suggested otherwise but dont really have much to back that up bar common sense....
Is there a scale on butchers counters in large stores, is supply varied from store to store or does a shitty SV get the same meat as a fancier SV?People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

A good butcher where you paying a premium will absolutely be better quality than the value range from Tesco. But if somebody can sell meat as cheaply as Tesco, there's a reason. The trade has its tricks, as Im sure you know.

It’s only been one day off the ol chicken and the pangs are crazy. Free range eggs are ok I’m thinking but haven’t thought that part through 100%. I’m deffo off the chicken though.
I’m doing ok in the pressup challenge. Courier C would be very impressed the amount of weight that I’m hoisting in the mid-drift . I have one problem , when I’ve done about 25 pressups the left Elbow roars at me and nearly locks. Could this be a lack of chicken in the diet or do I need to warm up my arms before doing the press-ups. The windmill a good one? (it was back in the day) I think the fact that I carry the babbies in the right side when holding them that I’ve got an imbalance. Anyway my challenge is to do 100 nonstop by 3 months. I was drunk, vain and nostalgic when I agreed this bet and even then I knew it was going to be tough. I should have said 50. 100 was no problem in the 90s but now, hmm at least I’m able to do 30 after just a week, keeping the form correct so that’s not bad eh? EH? Two big projects for the new year there for me in case you think you are busy with yer coin mining. I think I’m setting myself up to fails both tasks (the chicken and the press-ups) but sure I’m giving it a go and no matter how slow I go I’m faster than a couch potato or a dead chicken.

It shouldn't be any dearer than booking direct as they get preferential rates from the operators.

Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostHad my first ever meeting with a pension advisor there. He grimaced immensely when I mentioned Vanguard and was pushing me into active funds, as well as offering automated emails with performance every quarter/month/week. I was always more inclined towards lumping it all into passive equity funds for most of its life and forgetting about it; is that unusual
traders aren't very good at beating the market after costs imo
He grimaced this time when I said I had a PRSA. He's only offering us Zurich funds. I had to cut across him and ask did he have any 100% equity passive funds.
"eh mmm, no? Why would you want them?"
Started telling me then that he thinks a correction is coming, and how well the active funds have been doing recently
I guess I have to go with it to get the employer contributions, but just so irritating to know he's getting a slice.

Absolutely not.The quality of supermarkets is alot higher than some people think.
Ask yourself where dose the local butcher get his meat/carcass from if he dont have an abattoir. Same place as the supermarkets. A good butcher will slice and dice infront of customers along with a speach on how good the meat is as hes also a sales man selling his product, you are paying for there time to chat with you effectively along with a friendly service.
But if somebody can sell meat as cheaply as Tesco, there's a reason. The trade has its tricks, as Im sure you know.
The reason for been cheap is like any product supermarkets are selling in bulk thus keeping overheads lower.

Interesting stuff in James Damore case,he’s suing google now,some of th memos are ,stuff like white males being booed at meetings,memo about removing cheesy white males from conventions etc.
At her press conference, Dhillon said Google shareholders will be “pretty shocked to find” that employees are spending their time “talking about furry sex clubs and toxic whiteness,” rather than doing their jobs.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostMaybe the thing to do then would be to pick some active funds that diversify your existing holdings so at least you get some additional risk reduction benefits. E.g. if your main fund is long global indices then you are primarily long developed market growth stocks, so active fund seeking value stock opportunities, or focused on emerging markets, commodities, offer some risk diversification benefits. Although read recently that emerging markets are now about 80% correlated with developed markets.
It’s such a western centric colonial mindset term anyway like

From my brief reading of that it comes off more more a case of highlighting vocal liberals being in the majority in internal public discourses in Google rather than an overt company policy of repressing white males.
I think they handled him very badly as a whole and would have been better served by setting an example of shooting down his points rather than going straight for the P45 option
