Plenty of employers ghosting on applications and interviews. A couple of weeks ago I got an email rejection about a position I applied for last year. Sometimes, though, if you're in the second cut they hold you until someone is on board in case the person they want doesn't accept the offer. I know that hiring managers are busy and they try to screen for no more than the top 3, maybe 4, applicants. If you're #4 or #5, they might wait a while before informing you. Case studies are pretty much standard in my occupation at my level. They want to see how you think, how you solve problems, can you work with ambiguity and data. Most of the time when I've left a company it's because of the leadership and how I am treated than what I am doing (that, and them eliminating my position if not my entire department).

It's not specific to Cardano, it's that there is nothing to keep very intelligent people from making one and five years from now there will be a dozen more on the market and way more supply than demand. And if they don't figure out how to cancel it in the event of ransoms, they will soon be either banned or replaced.

This is one of the main reasons I don't invest in crypto - there is no protective moat. Anybody can make them. That's the one big difference with the gold comparison - gold has a big protective moat. You can't make it.

Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers
LouisEly replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
There aren't many of us calling for Norris to be DFA'd. Bickford was DFA'd because he was out of options and it was early in the season; they hoped to sneak him through. Norris is out of options as well. -
Cubs just gutted their team, and the Brewers play at Wrigley 8/9-8/12. BF.net outing at Wrigley?

Brewers acquire Daniel Norris from Tigers
LouisEly replied to homer's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
No, it's not correct. His birthday is 7/31/99 and he signed on 7/2/18, so he was only 18 when he signed. If a player signs when 18 or younger, they aren't eligible for the Rule 5 draft until after their 5th pro season which would be after the 2022 season. -
Just getting caught up on the DVR over the last week. Only the Islanders could lose a game 7 to go to the SC Finals on a short-handed goal.

Also starring with Kotto in the movie Midnight Run, Charles Grodin passed away today. One of my favorite movies of the late 80's.

They said on CNBC today that this week lumber was down 7.5%, copper down 2%, and corn down 10.5%.

Bitcoin got hammered with Musks announcement (and the revelation of how energy inefficient bitcoin really is) and regarding inflation in materials pricing I'm hearing that many projects are being put on hold because of prices and labor shortage. Cramer also said today that copper futures have started to retreat so inflation could easily start to subside.

That's why I went the Amazon Fire Stick route for YTTV. Much less chance of Amazon being bullied by Google than Roku.
-
One thing that I'm really starting to like about YouTube TV is that you can turn something on well after it starts and skip back to the beginning. Not so with cable. Still wish it broadcast in 5.1 surround sound and not 2.1.

For the most part, yes, but cocktails at some places that have some exotic options can be hard to replicate. Maybe you don't want to accumulate a whole bunch of different types of bitters, simple syrups, exotic liqueurs, or other ingredients, and if you're trying to impress a girl early in a relationship it's often better to leave it to the professionals.

On the topic of good pizza, I had the cherry pulled pork pizza from Poco's this past weekend. Yummy. I see they just added a "hot beef" pizza with braised beef and horseradish sauce... wish they would have had that, or the summer sausage and cheese curd pizza. They're kind of like the Mobcraft of pizza, just coming out with some wild stuff. I asked the guy how many pizzas they do in an average week. He said that when he started he thought if they did 100 pizzas a week they would be wildly successful; on average, they do about 900 a week.

THIS. I was at General Mills' HQ on a tour with my MBA program and they offered Totinos things to us, and I wouldn't touch them.

Absolutely buy your own separate modem and router. They'll last for years. Go to Best Buy and the modems will say on the box which cable systems they are compatible with. For a router look for one with antennas as they will have more range. Dual band, as the 5Ghz wavelength has faster speeds. At least three antennas. Worth paying more for a good router. Super easy to set up on your own, no need to have Charter come over.

I think this is probably more accurate: https://uwbadgers.com/news/2020/12/16/2021_Signing_day.aspx

That's definitely my second favorite. Last summer when they shut down the running trails I used to run up and down Ashland right past it.

I'm in suburbs, and I prefer any of the Moretti's locations. Their deep dish is okay, but their thin crust is why I go there. The other places that are great are Home Run Inn, and of course an old favorite that is still around, Barnaby's. Haven't tried Pequod's but I will keep it in mind. Ironic, in that I've found Pequod's to be the closest thing to Rocky Rococo's that I've found in Chicago. Pequod's sauce is a little spicier, but overall it's fairly close.

I know that after I move back to Madison I'm putting on a good 10 lbs and Rocky's is going to be the prime culprit. I grab a couple of slices before/after the Badgers games. Way, way better option than the frozen burger patties from the area bars (and, I believe, less expensive too).

One more thing about YouTube TV - they only deliver audio in 2.1, not surround sound. I think cable is worth the extra $30/month.

When I was last in Madison (2012 to late 2015) they were in the midst of adding 5000 apartment units to the city. There certainly wasn't much pushback at that time; mid-rise apartments were going up all over downtown around campus. From what I hear, there are plenty of apartment units available in the city but they overbuilt on small 1-bedrooms and there is a big demand for 2-bedrooms. But I am not looking to live in an apartment building with a bunch of 20-somethings. There hasn't been much building of ownership units in the city the last decade.

Wondering what the Madison folks can tell me about the Madison housing market. I'll be moving (back) there sometime in the next six months, and just about everything I see is either pending or contingent. The only things I see that aren't under contract are either under construction or obviously do not need to sell and are listing a wishful price that would make it worthwhile to sell (as evidenced by the >150 days on the market). Not much even for rentals (and I have no desire to live in an apartment building downtown with a bunch of 20-something Epic employees). Ideally I'd like to be downtown because that's where the office is. There will likely be more inventory in a month or two when the weather gets better, but right now there is not much. I don't think there will be much of a wave of foreclosures, at least not for ownership property. The industries that got crushed by the pandemic (travel/leisure, restaurants, retail, hospitality) have a relatively low percentage of jobs that can support ownership; most jobs in those industries are part-time or low-paying.

I live in a condo community in Waukesha. Last year, I had six neighbors who had lived here fewer than four years sell their property at a gain that computes to an annual 6%-8%. I will be listing soon, and I would love for my place to have appreciated at an annual 6%. But near north Chicago isn't quite as hot with all of the restaurants shut down and all of the riots/looting last summer. I think I'm far enough away, but 6% ARR from when I bought it four years ago would be an absolute dream... it's what I would need in order to not lose money on it, given all of the repairs.

I've been watching CNBC for over a decade; almost daily since the pandemic began. I have Jon Najarian's personal cell phone number, and I've been on Mad Money twice. No, it's not to get the hype going. It's to recruit clients. If you watch, they always explain the reasoning (financial and technical analysis) behind their positions. One of the biggest financial mistakes I've ever made was because I missed an analysis by Jim Cramer of the balance sheet of one of my investments which he recommended selling; a year and a half later the company filed bankruptcy. That's not hype.
