chasy

I think yes. Beverly Hills is notoriously anti tobacco / smoking, so this is a lounge that actually makes a ton of sense to me (if you can indeed smoke in Beverly Hills).

Love this G Shock

Mexico City is definitely on my list. Top to bottom, it has great food. I've done the Michelin Star spots, but sign me up for a boozy Contramar lunch and a dinner at Rosetta any day.

Chicago despite all its faults, is a great food city

It’s crazy to see well known US democratic politicians from 5, 10, 15 years ago calling for cutting government waste, tariffs, reshoring of jobs. I have my own biases, but I think it’s too early to tell. Like getting chemo and being mad the cancer isn’t gone the next morning.

Was he getting a tight fade?

So early, hard to say. Public markets are brutal because you mark out every day. Yes the last two days have been rough. That said, market was probably overly hot to begin with. I certainly sympathize with people, especially at varying ages. My parents, this is not a kind market. Me, let it slide, I have more to make than to lose, I’d love a better level to buy in to. I think / hope this ends up in a more stable place. That said, US leadership wants to make some big changes. I’m sure we’ll all ok in the long run, but I’m an optimist.

For what it’s worth, my favorite spot for a cigar at Wynn / Encore is out by the pool in the shade back behind the Jardine patio (on the astroturfed area). Far enough from the edge of the pool that you’re usually not next to anyone and can still be waited on. Smoking in the casino, I’m never able to have a great time with all the competing smells (smoke, perfume, etc).

Nope, still not right.

I regret trying to participate.

I use ChatGPT as if it is my co-founder or analyst. I literally talk to it like we work together. Just this week I wasn't feeling great, so I said "Good morning, not feeling great today. Pretty lethargic. What should I prioritize today given I'm drained?" My GPT responded with "here are the 4-5 things that would be great to make some progress on. Maybe 15 - 20 minutes each, and we won't fall behind on x, y, z. Also, you have a meeting tomorrow with your attorney and we need to make a decision on x, y, z. So we should quickly prep on that..." The list goes on, but I've found it to be an incredible resource. Truly amazed.

I would be interested in these E2s. I also, have a box of QdO 50s that I would part with… any takers? (Did I F this game a cigar telephone up?)

No worries - I didn’t assume it was a 1:1 trade. Obv E2s are at a premium to QdO 50s. I was just trying to get the “this for that” vibe rolling.

@LaoFan dude you gotta do more write ups. They are great, I’m assuming (forgive me if I’m off) that you’re a North American living in mainland China and building a place in Costa Rica. Clearly you’re not afraid of a bit of adventure. Keep them coming!!’

I would take Wookie’s E2s and swap out my QdO 50s.

Badass. Congrats.

You guys would get a kick out of GeoGuessing:

I definitely feel more positive than 2020, which was Covid. I'll say that nearly on a daily basis I try to put good out into the world and I almost always get it right back. Make a point to try to have a positive, infectious attitude. Doesn't hurt having a two year old who might be the happiest person I know.

Well, if you're planning a trip to Chicago you don't have to worry about pick pockets, but you might get shot...

The pickpocketing is no joke.

RyJ is a head scratcher for me. Never got the cherry.

Maybe - interestingly I've seen like 3 or 4 different articles come out following the bankruptcy news highlighting how 23 and Me customers are being encouraged to delete their information. I think even a CA congressman is leading the charge. I agree that 23 and Me likely doesn't have that much information, I was highlighting more of the unforeseen risk of taking a seemingly harmless DNA test if that company goes bankrupt. Also, I'd bet that the DNA data they have isn't that valuable, otherwise they would have been able to better monetize the original business model.
