In the South, there are only three choices...all in a glass bottle. Coca-Cola, Dr. Pepper....and Cheerwine.
And so it goes... :)

In the south it is “coke”. Soda or pop is never used by native speakers. “Soft Drink” is the only other acceptable term because no one really knows what the hell to make of “Mr. Pibb”
lol..yes, it is poison. I can't drink anything like that(anymore). After a while..you tend to not like it as much as you thought you did.. Like a lot of things.
Maybe it's just a memory thing. Good memory though.
Well, first off.... you're right.
I'm nuts.
I haven't had a pop ( with the exception of tonic water ), in the last year 20 years.
Some call it pop, some soda.
In a can or glass, I think it's junk.
Down the road...a big yep.
Yes. And that is troubling.
This would make it human .... "But it apparently has a worrisome nasty streak"
lol....lol. Figures.
LOL!! But If it would do legal research, that would be useful. And it seems to me it COULD do that.
But it apparently has a worrisome nasty streak. From whom did it learn to be deceptive? This really is a very interesting topic for discussion.
Some months ago I asked ChatGPT to name 10 kinds of nuts. The list included "peanuts"
I responded indicating that peanuts are legumes, not nuts.
ChatGPT apologized and generated a new list that replaced peanuts with some other kind of nut.
A day or so later TenKay asked ChatGPT the same question about nuts and peanuts were back on the list.
Given the fact that all it does is source material already written by humans to the web...and then group such into poorly written sentences, I would suggest that we "as so called human beings" have been trying to destroy ourselves for centuries.
Well...first off, you are insane :). Secondly, it's always called pop...and never soda.
I will give you props though for referencing both alternatives. So thank you for that.
p.s....nothing better than a cold coca cola in an 8oz glass bottle. Except maybe a Dr. pepper served the same way. Never drink pop in a can..ever. Only beer.
You'd think he'd at least have checked the cites to be sure they were accurate. Or that they at least existed.
Should we wonder if Mr Chat, who is most certainly malicious at times, wants to destroy us?
Christ's sake....attorney's just aren't as bright as they are manipulative. ChatGPT is as dumb as a box of rocks and yet individuals appear to think otherwise.
I've never had a good Coke.
Had it once as a kid and hated it.
Water andd lemon for me.
I don't do soda/pop..
This is beyond funny:
Lawyer apologizes for fake court citations from ChatGPT

Seems our new friend ChatGPT is just not... honest.
You don't follow baseball and his net worth has been estimated to be around $18B after he bought the Mets so in fact it was a small check. It was 10% of his net worth and he made a clean get away.
Thanks for the link but I am familiar with exactly what happened.
Cohen did not "buy the Mets" AFTER he cut his plea deal and paid his fines and penalties. He bought an 8 percent stake in the team in 2012 for $40 million. He did not become majority owner until he really did "buy the team" in 2020:

Do you think these hedge fund managers have ethics?
Some do; some don't.
Not “democracy”. Everyone knows this. It’s not up for debate.

Traders definitely go rogue....but it's always known when they do.
Democracy not in the U.S. constitution because we’re a republic, not a democracy…
What is the difference between a republic and a democracy?
By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.
I'm not chasing it.
I bought a 12 pack of Bud Light for the weekend. I'm protesting non beer drinkers.
Numbers are all over the place on Nvidia's_PE. That CNBC page places the ratio at 202:1 with a forward PE of 52. Nvidia shares have usually commanded a very high premium as this shows:
https://ycharts.com/companies/NVDA/pe_ratio
"Reminds me of the dot.com era." Or the 1960s with the Nifty Fifty. Nvidia was a dot com era darling and hardly a scam. It IPO'd in 1999 and quickly split twice.
NVDA has a 20+ year growth pedigree. Made plenty of 1999-era video game nerds prosperous.
Sad you just can't buy good Coke anymore.
Cohen always claimed he didn't know what his traders were doing as head of his hedge fund.
If you buy that I have a bridge for sale that goes to Brooklyn. The SEC wasn't buying it.
From the SEC.

He threw his traders under the bus and walked away.

AI is becoming the next scam du jour as more and more companies pump up AI.
Reminds me of the dot.com era. How soon we forget.
I know friend :) Should probably not talk about it...nice little secret. LOL
You know that you are preaching to the choir...right?...lol. If they cap some things...that would be an amazing start. Let's see if they can do that much. I mean they literally suck ass'.....so I'll take anything at this point.
Oh, c'mon. There'll NEVER be a real spending freeze. Not on either side. They just want to spend on different things.
Yes...and if I heard correctly...it may actually be a good start. Something like a two year cap on spending.....which would be phenomenal considering the talent of management...lol.
I may be wrong on that spending freeze...but I hope I am not.
FYI... It seems the Dems and Republicans have reached an "agreement in principle" on the debit limit.
McCarthy will be speaking at 9:10 tonight.
Oh my Lord...brutal as hell!!..lol. I think you are correct.
Kudos with that.
Nailed it! It is the water in many cases. I live in an area known world wide for it's brandy and moonshine. One reason is the terrain..and within that terrain is very clean mountain water. It certainly makes a difference.
I always assumed it was flavored with a tincture of Lord Stanley's tears.
coke and other soft drinks will taste different all around the world. I worked in beer biz. Its the water. Its different . We had 2 breweries a few hundred miles apart. Same beer same formulation tasted different. No in all honesty most people cannot tell differences between different beers. I conducted 100s of taste tests. People could not tell the difference between out light page and competitor pale ale
Yes. And then in 2018, Point 72 began to take outside investors again.
That was Point72. SAC was thrown into that and dissolved(wound down). Mathew Martoma was the one that got taken to the bank.
"Does Canadian Coke have hints of maple syrup and pan-fried walleye in its recipe?"
No.
It's flavored with beaver piss and colored with moose poop.
A key NVDA number I forgot. Cash and Short Term Investments: $15.3 billion mrq. That exceeds all their debt, short term and long term.
But... The firm was absorbed into Cohen's family office. It was all his.
That was the firm though. We don't know what he had to pay. We do now that just after a few years of the SAC Firm's $1.8 Billion Dollar fine and Cohen's settlement....Steve Cohen had an estimated net worth of over Ten Billion Dollars.
Money wealth is just insane.
SAC said the same thing and walked away by writing a small check to the SEC and taking his fund private then bought the Mets.
I wouldn't call a $1.8 billion fine a "small check". In November 2013, Cohen pled guilty in the criminal case, and agreed to pay that "small" fine. He made SAC Capital part of his family office, and then in early 2014, created Point 72 to house most of the SAC assets. Point 72 opened to outside investors in 2018.

So I'm not really seeing any similarities here...
So as I said neither of us know if he was telling the truth. You can defend him all you want.
No. I am not "defending" him. (From what? He hasn't done anything I'm aware of.) I am pointing out, as did 1manband, that there is no reason for Ackman to attract the SEC's attention by lying.
It is not horchata, but it is close enough for me and available everywhere, unlike real horchata.
But what is "real horchata"? In Mexico, it's made with rice, which you apparently don't include. In Spain, it's made with tiger nuts. Which aren't really nuts:

No..the market is certainly irrational. That is the Law of Nature..."humans are irrational". Thus, the market is irrational.

Stock Dilution Scam:
A share dilution scam happens when a company, typically traded in unregulated markets such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheets, repeatedly issues a massive amount of shares into the market for no reason, considerably devaluing share prices until they become almost worthless, causing huge losses to shareholders. Then, after share prices are at or near the minimum price a stock can trade and the share float has increased to an unsustainable level, those fraudulent companies tend to reverse split and continue repeating the same scheme.
Pump and Dump Schemes:
"Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation," involve the touting of a company's stock (typically microcap companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. After pumping the stock, fraudsters make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market.
Pump and dump schemes often occur on the Internet where it is common to see messages posted that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is "pumped" up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters "dump" their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money.
http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm
The key is understanding
The key is understanding that pink sheet stocks are not investments - 99% of them will lose value over the long run and never accomplish most of their forward looking pumping statements they put in press releases or on their websites. Never believe the hype - always be skeptical of everything you hear.
The people mostly making money with pink sheet stocks are promoters, front loading pumpers with big followings they can dump on, crooks, some of the flippers, and sometimes the very lucky.
Pumpers only tell you to buy stocks that they already own. Pumpers only tell you to hold stocks because they want to make sure you hold longer than them.
They make money by pumping the stock and getting other people to buy then dumping their shares on the followers.
If you really want to take the risk of trying to make money trading pink sheet companies then you have to understand how the game works and never ever hold long term - take profits when you can. Pump and Dumps dominate the IHUB forums.
Trading pink sheet stocks is a sick game full of lies and deceit where people take advantage of the inexperienced and naive stealing away their life savings for their own personal gains.
Very little respect or morals exist in stinky pinky land.
