And bitcoin. How are international capital flows, global trade and commerce, and bitcoin related.

Loved Trump taking out the trash. I hope that he has the time during his presidency to take out a lot more.

What you don't know won't hurt you, freedom. Right?

And he keeps getting elected? I'd love to know how his constituents think of him.

I didn't guess. I'm psychic. And clairvoyant, too.

Y(ou) C(an) L(eave).
It's the logo on the hat. ;^)

I haven't visited Boise in many years. I had a software consulting job with
Boise Cascade and was there for 2 months in the summer. Such a friendly
place with perfect summer weather and great food.
We went to the Snake River Stampede and up to Sun Valley.
I was so glad to be there instead of Houston for the summer.

Traitor Turtle bites us again. It seems a long time ago I had great respect for him, but he has definitely taken a left turn along the road and now is clearly on the dark side. This latest machination to derail an American agenda is inexcusable. I suspect he "owned" somehow.

Woooooooo-Hooooooooo!!!!! What a great way to start a day! Love 'em all, OUC, and thanks for taking the time to post these humorous and insightful memes! Regarding the third from the end, I have family in Maricopa County (Phoenix) and they can't believe this either. Something is definitely amiss!

Neocons NINOUT! was reading another source on this one, Con-grass is fertile ground for these idiots Need to spread some DDT.

Lot's of great memes this week, used 37 out of 45. That number of relevant memes is unprecedented!
I liked the Star Wars one too, had a vertical one and the horizontal one that I used..

YCL?

I’m not positive, this was third person from my wife. She’s been following what happened to this person. The sign to back the blue in the off-site café was there because her husband had been injured in the line of duty. Campus children saw the sign and complained. The campus shutdown the on-campus location due to this complaint. https://boisedev.com/news/2024/09/13/...

Both, lol... How did you guess that? I'm a software developer/cloud architect and the bakery is my wife's passion.

You are absolutely correct; they have taken over the schools a long time ago. I will have to hand it to them, they can make any minority sound like a mainstream majority to the uninformed and young. Idaho is majority conservative, even Boise, we are just not loud about it.

LOL

I could have looked it up myself. Everything you have written I can find online. It was a test.

Musk and Trump will have so many people trying to kill them if they cut the fat out of government...so much fat!

You are invited to ALL of my future parties!

But this reply, lovely and informative...

Might have been running up the score...
You are now the Chief Justice!

The city is not involved with our heavyweight pants, though it is very old. It had a Phoenician trading presence 3,200 years ago. The competing Portuguese Lisboa and English Lisbon likely come form the Latin Olisippo vs Greek Ὀλισσιπών or Olissipṓn, Over time, initial vowels wear off and P sounds often soften to B.

English and foreign city names often differ. We say Bangkok to refer to the capital of Thailand, Krung Thep.

Levi's are named for the company Levi Strauss & Co. and its founder, Levi Strauss (born Löb Strauß). In response to the California Gold Rush, in 1853 he founded (in San Francisco) the first company to manufacture blue jeans. Jacob Davis, a tailor in Reno, Nevada got Levi Strauss to front the money for a patent on corner rivets, especially for pocket corners, to improve durability. In the 1940s, the rivet at the bottom of the fly was discontinued, replaced with a tack stitch. When sitting around a campfire, the copper rivet would become very hot, and upon standing, the crotch would pull tight where burning heat is unwelcome.

For completeness: “dungaree” goes back to 1605–15, from Hindi dungrī, a kind of coarse cloth.

The indigo used to dye blue jeans originated in India. The word comes from the Greek word indikón, which means "a substance from India". The dye color was extracted from the leaves of the Indigofera tinctoria plant. Indigo has been used for more than 5,000 years. In 1897, synthetic indigo was mass produced for the first time.

I'm interested in international capital flows. And how they relate to global trade and commerce.

I guess you didn't read The Creature From Jekyll Island, did you?

One example might be video of an affair with a 12 year old boy or being featured as a perp in a snuff film or arranging an assassination.

"secret anti-capitalist" Nope.
You are well read about banking centuries ago.
Catch up on the way banksters work now. Read The Creature From Jekyll Island.
Otherwise you have a big gap in your knowledge.
Free market banking no longer exists in the 'west.'
