Education level and the dick measuring contest

OK boys (girls), since you love talking about who is more educated than one another, just throw out your highest level of education. Do we have any PHDs here? If so, I would love to get their opinion on why and how the sine wave, the star of David, and the yin-yang symbol are all geometrically and mathematically a net-zero. I'd also like to hear educated opinions on how this correlates to physiology, finance, and quantum physics, because they are all connected.

WOT: Short term rentals

My apartment lease comes up for renewal on May 1st, but the office said they need us to vacate for a few weeks so they can renovate (our apartment is one of the few remaining units that hasn't been upgraded). They've offered to let us transfer within the apartment complex or within any of their local sister properties, but I really like the location we have now.

Does anyone know of any decent short term furnished rental options that aren't terribly expensive? Probably looking for about 2-3 weeks.

OT: Tour of UH's $25 Million, 53,000 sq ft Basketball Training Center

This beautiful facility opened in the Fall of 2015 and its no surprise to see how they started to get top recruits in the following years. (Coach Sampson helped too).

Attention to detail is very impressive and it's not shocking to see how they were able to use their Jordan Brand Sponsorship to sell to future recruits.

TM made the trip to Houston to meet with some counterparts in the Big 12 but I hope he had a chance to check out UH's impressive digs that they were able to build with donations.

OT: Grambling State Car Qualifies for Daytona 500

Thought it was pretty cool to see as Greg Biffle drive this Grambking State Car last night in the Duels for Jonathan Cohen, American Amercian Entrepreneur and Grambling Alum, and qualified for the Daytona 500.

Baffle ran well till he had to pit where rhey had major miscues but they now might be able to hire an Infinity Crew to help them in the Pits on Sunday.

Supply chain

I don't shop at Walmart much especially since COVID..I think part of it is I am bitter
.somehow during the early stages of the pandemic COVID mysteriously didn't spread in Wal-Mart but every small business and restaurant was deemed nonessential and closed down..

Anyway, I have noticed in Ingles here in NC and Walmart there are bare shelves
Publix not so much in that regard .

I heard Mayor Pete the other day lament how the ports are backed up but he also said the economy is rolling well based on sales. I started to think about my own business. Yes sales are up but part of that is from inflation. I have raised prices in my business. My single bite truffles went from $1.89 to $2.09 as an example..My volume has not dropped but my sales numbers have gone up. so mayor Pete attributes the supply chain issues to consumers spending. Duh, everything costs more Mayor Pete so it looks like the economy is booming .

Then I thought about a post I made in the Dungeon, or was it the ultra dungeon, I can't keep it straight anymore,but I like the Citronaut. I like it a lot. I commented that demand for his stuff would suggest a lot of people like him and I was rebuked with well not much of it is made so that's why it goes fast.

If things are in short supply and demand is the same then the appearance is that product might be high demand when it's truly not.

There is another issue not being talked about on regards to the supply chain stuff. I picked this up on a boating forum I am member of and a long haul trucker wrote a lengthy piece on the supply chain and it's not COVID ,it's the California Air Resources Board,CARB, they have regulations that prohibit trucks that are over 4 years old from entering the state of California. This guy said half of America's trucking fleet cannot enter the state at all. Then you got crazy union rules in their ports that prohibit independent truckers from hauling containers. The truck driver goes onto write between the union rules and carb the trucking industry has seen this day coming and it's here where you get cargo backed up at the ports.

Mayor Pete is a nice guy and congrats on being a dad and all,but he is either an idiot in regards to transportation and supply channels or he is lieing to the American people trying to shift the blame from ridiculous California regulations and ridiculous union demands which are the true cause of what we are seeing on store shelves.

I truly trust a long haul trucker on an internet boating forum more than Mayor Pete and the media on this issue. I also wonder why Publix doesn't appear to be facing shortages like other grocery stores. what ever they are doing they are doing it right.
