@WxWiseApp @ryanhallyall Thank you that worked. On the day 1 - day 6 nice weather outlook map on android is there a way to show on screen which day is being depicted? When boggling day 1 to da 2 or 3 it is not clear which calendar da that is a layman. Thank you!

@ArthurENoll @ryanhallyall If you turn on Y'all Mode, it will appear in the list of outlooks

@WxWiseApp for your android app how do you get to the "Day X Nice Weather Outlook" maps suggested by @ryanhallyall ? Is it under the Home --> Outlooks menu? If so which Outlook is this? Or somewhere else? I can't find it on first glance.

@goldandsilv @ThHappyHawaiian Yup he tried. @ThHappyHawaiian looking back what do you think the main reason for the ban? I thought maybe the banking cartel had infiltrated WSB enough whereby they had the power and need to squash it fast

I was remembering yesterday a few highlights of the #silversqueeze world such as the most awesome post and effort by @ThHappyHawaiian when during the GameStop hype he tried to get #wallstreetbets apes to understand silver and they banned him from their Reddit group. Good times.

RIP Scott Adams 🙏 My hope is history honors you as the Legendary and Great Philosopher you were. Thank you for the incredible positive impact you had on humanity, human awareness, peace, and prosperity.

@Cernovich Paging @DtDS_WSS ... has the silver squeeze now squoze?

What is the explanation for the silver run? I can obviously look this up on media. I don’t want slop. Curious to hear from people who KNOW.

@PEoperator Lol

@RampCapitalLLC Way to go! Sounds like great insight from a sobering experience. Wishing you and your family peace and prosperity in 2026.

At the stroke of midnight, I’ll have officially gone an entire year without a sip of alcohol. Here are 25 lessons I learned by not drinking for a year 🧵👇 (jk, but I did learn a few things) Honestly, it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be. There were plenty of moments where I normally would’ve had a drink such as golf tournaments, holidays, sporting events, but I just stuck to club soda and had a good time. I’ve never been a huge drinker. Mostly social stuff, holidays, games, whatever. But I almost always walked away feeling bloated, foggy, and a little gluttonous. On top of that, always felt a good dose of anxiety the day after drinking. One thing I didn’t expect: at some point it stopped being “I’m not drinking” and just became normal. No internal debate. No willpower. It just wasn’t part of the equation anymore. What surprised me most were other people’s reactions. Everything from “that’s awesome, good for you” to “what are you, a pussy?” Which, to be honest, says way more about them than it does about me. Going to social events sober was interesting too. You notice a lot more. I never judged anyone for drinking, but I realized I personally didn’t need it to hold conversations or enjoy being around people. And it made me notice how many social norms are really just drinking rituals in disguise. Once you remove alcohol, you’re left asking whether you actually enjoy something or if the buzz was doing most of the work. Sadly, I didn’t suddenly become a productivity machine or start waking up at 5am. I just felt more even. Fewer emotional swings. Fewer mornings feeling like a bag of ass. I don’t know how long I’ll keep it going. I could see myself having a glass of wine here and there. At the same time, there’s something about not breaking the streak that feels grounding. The biggest benefit to me personally was setting a somewhat lofty goal and actually sticking to it. That carried over more than I expected. Fighting off the peer pressure was very difficult at times. Either way, I’m glad I did it. Hope this inspires someone else to try it next year. Cheers to 2026.

@Gregor1313 Wise words from a great fellow CLTien dad. Kudos to enjoying abundant life on your terms Greg 🙌

Thanks to a decision to quit drinking I have no desire for a hectic lifestyle —I'm grateful to be retired, sober and financially free, allowing me to live simply and on my terms If I’m at the gym at 2 pm on a Tuesday that’s my choice - I control my time Playing golf on a sunny morning is always an option Sit at a coffee shop and relax for as long as I want on a rainy afternoon, clear-headed Travel when we get restless and want to go Devote our time and resources to our family and children, helping to enhance their lives That’s my idea of a rich life—sober, unhurried, and free. If you’re stuck like I was 1,575 days ago — know that it’s never too late to make a change if you want it

@PEoperator Ha!

My wife said I should change my profile pic bc everyone must think I’m a 70 yo man. I told her she was crazy, people know the guy in my pic. Then last night I met a guy who asked me if I was on X and when I told him my handle, he said “oh so you’re not a sixty year old man?!” Anyway, Merry Christmas!

@BigJohn043 Congrats to all parties

Welcome the BTR team to the Burnout Brands and Hidden Harbor family. We are excited to continue to build Burnout Brands into a significant player in the Performance Aftermarket Auto space.

@PEoperator Ok this is really cool

My best investment of the last twelve months…

@BigJohn043 Very difficult to do this without a legit bespoke integration engine. No substitute for experience and knowledge of how to connect disparate systems rapidly. Takes a special talent stack to pull off.

Multiple arbitrage is easy to explain but much harder to execute. You have to really integrate what you buy. Start with not just ERP but also CRM, Field Operating Systems and HRIS. Then you have to get the right team as the old team checks out and you need the right operating cadence. None of this is easy. And what they really don't tell you is the big money is when you are doing both organic and in-organic growth. If this was easy you wouldn't see a number of PE backed roll-ups fail. And many of those people are very good at this...

@PEoperator @BigJohn043 I agree with this. Both of you are putting out excellent thought leadership and vibes in the PE Ops space. I know its not why you do it but the positive externality halo effect will pay dividends in spades.

John, I think you can do anything you put your mind to… PE MD or not! In all seriousness, I don’t see any other PE MDs on here learning, sharing, building a brand. You have really stepped outside the normal MO for MDs and I bet it pays off. That kind of adaptability transfers (and I know you’re not worried about abject failure and pivoting, just saying)

The other big negative around PE is the sheer variance in outcomes. Your whole career is going to be based on a handful of deals. Sometimes things go wrong even if you made a reasonable investment and did the right things. And even if your handful of deals goes well, other deals at the firm may not and the next fund is never a certainty. And if you fail as a PE partner it doesn't exactly train you for a lot of other things. It is a very high variance career.

Cool story. I did some buy side and sell side m&a work for the Frees administration about 10 years ago. Was a great experience. On one deal buyer and seller signed a conflict release waiver to let me advise on both sides of the deal at the same time. Was a really cool experience to drive value in that context.

I met the former CEO of a major cable operator last night. He led a cable provider like TCI (John Malone’s company) and before that led corp dev all during Malones heyday. So naturally I asked him for a story… Back in 1996, Malone approached them about swapping some assets. At the time Malone had a young corp dev leader named Mike Frees. At this time this guy was also a corp dev leader so he and his CEO flew to Denver to meet Malone and Frees. The idea was they would swap some of their cable territories between the companies in an even trade. Each had their eye on some choice regions. When they arrived, there were no pleasantries. Being from the South, they had expected maybe dinner or a meal. Nope. Two days straight of nothing but working through deals. All very matter of fact. Well after two days they were nowhere. They both wanted assets (cable territories) that the other didn’t want to trade. So day 3 rolls around and this guy and Frees decide to try something different. Rather than barter, they setup a sort of draft system. So each got to pick a territory he wanted, but then the other got to force the next pick. At the end they both had mixed emotions. They had some assets they were excited about and some duds they didn’t want to take. Malone walks in after hours of this. He’s a man of few words, very introverted. He reviews the results. “This is brilliant. How’d you come up with this?” The future CEO explains his draft idea and Malone was blown away. They were able to get the deal done. Three things stuck out to me: 1- Imagine impressing one of the best deal makers of all time. Had to be a thrill. 2- the idea that Malone was not even in the room to design and structure a material deal for this business says a lot. He trusted others and was not so proud that he had to control everything. 3- being on the other side of a deal from Malone would have been terrifying. I have met some other folks in the past who know Malone but on the investor side. It was fun to meet an operator who sat on the other side of the table. One other thing that was obvious in hearing this man recount his experience: Malone was operating on another level and everyone who met him knew it, like MJ in his prime.

@Tesho13 This and your cable car idea from North end to NoDa are the public transit game changer nominees

Now that Charlotte’s transportation bill passed, we need to revisit this.. Using the existing CSX train tracks to build the Silver Line This would get us the full Silver Line, be better for riders, and save $100s of millions ✨I’m manifesting this into reality ✨

@PEoperator That is an all timer right there...lol...

About 17 years ago, I was working in investment banking. One of the partners had just gone through a nasty divorce. He had a young daughter and had her for Halloween. He was new to the area but he wanted to do something special for her- make sure she got to trick or treat. So I told him to stop by. My roommates and I rented a place in a neighborhood with lots of families. Told him we’d have candy ready to go. We were expecting a lot of kids. So he comes by at the “normal” trick or treat time, maybe six o’clock. His daughter (maybe 5 yo) runs around some and we tell her how amazing she looks. We give her a ton of candy. Before and after that, we had literally zero kids come to the door. It was weird. Turns out there was a block party around the corner, we just didn’t know. So anyway we have a couple girls over to watch a movie (nice). It was Halloween so we figured something scary made sense. We turn on The Shining while it's still a little light out, but it quickly gets darker outside. All the sudden, about 45 min into the movie, one of my roommates jumps out of his chair- it wasn’t a scary scene in the movie- someone was just at the door. Assuming tensions were just high from the movie, I realized it was probably a trick-or-treater at the door. So I bounced up to get the candy. On my way, I realized it was like 10pm now, and pitch black out. We had left the main door open, so when I got to the door I could see straight through the glass storm door. Now I was startled. Standing in front of me was someone in a Ghostface/Scream mask- dressed in all black. He wasn’t super tall, but tall enough, and he was holding the most realistic rubber knife you’ve ever seen. Without really thinking, I assumed it was a trick or treater, so with one arm, I opened the heavy storm door. With the other, I held out the undisturbed bucket of candy we had prepped for hundreds of kids. No words from the trick or treater. He just stared ahead silently. After what was maybe 20 seconds (felt longer), he stuck his hand all the way to the bottom of the bucket. He pulled out a handful and held it up, while candy fell everywhere. “Ooookaay,” I said, and started to let the storm door close. As it closed, the menace tried to slide his body into the house! My arms were full, so instinctively, I kicked him as hard as I could in the chest. BAM! The would-be villain dropped the candy and sulked away, moaning. I had never been prouder. I had protected my people. The girls were safe. My roommates congratulated me. I had stood up to the literal personification of fear itself. As I basked, one of my roommates got a phone call. “Why did PEoperator just kick my little brother in the chest?” Turns out a crazy ex of my roommate had sent her abnormally tall 8 year old brother to the door to scare us. So that’s my Halloween story of how I kicked an 8 year old in the chest as hard as I could. The next day, the partner at the investment bank was grateful he had brought his daughter early.
