@jonfromnyc @vxylily Sure, and I occasionally take shortcuts like that when they're obvious. But I do a lot of mental arithmetic and I want a general procedure that works for everything. It take me about 3 seconds anyway, so the time to be shaves is small at best.

@ronsterd89 My advice with electricity: Before you touch anything, turn the switches and breaker off, check it with a voltmeter probe, put on leather gloves and tennis shoes, and grab it with a lineman's pliers. May seem like overkill, but a wiring mistake is nothing to get killed over.

Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

@BabouTheOcicat @VigilantFox Some were, some weren't. Might point is I was happy with the prosecution of all of them.

John Oliver admits there were more government fingerprints than “you would like” in the “kidnapping” plot of Gretchen Whitmer.
“Remember when that group of men was arrested?”
“Guess how many confidential informants seem to help that plot along?”
“I’ll give you a clue — it is a lot more than you would like.”
“And you… wonder if that plan could have even gotten off the ground if there hadn’t been ‘as many as a DOZEN confidential informants’ involved and ‘two undercover federal agents.’”
So John Oliver is basically saying the government can shape or aid someone else’s sinister plot… then blame the useful idiots who carry it out.

@Amarillo1942237 @PollSter_Mike1 Fortunately recordings still survive from that early era. :-)

@ClcGregg @PollSter_Mike1 I think Clapton chose not to be a guitar hero over 50 years ago.

Need you on the jury if I’m ever convicted of a crime.

They called this an intentional foul, 2 free throws and possession. A 2-year-old could see this wasn’t intentional.
