I don't want to know why your brought a chopper into the bathroom. But consider me impressed.

Oh yeah! FYI, I got a new LC from CPK and it’s…..F’n AMAZING!!!!! Showed up today as I was taking off for a roadtrip for work! Immediately, I threw it in the bag to go with me.

Full disclosure, my largest CPK prior to today was the HDFK or the SSDFK……no need for anything bigger….

When I opened the long box (not long pork😳) my first thought was:

“This will be my most used knife!!”

I’ve transitioned!!! 😳

yoko yoko said it best! “The perfect truck knife”, and he’s right!!!

This thing will go everywhere with me, and, up to this point, a proponent of smaller fixed blades, I’m telling you……YOU NEED TO GET ONE!!!!

HOLD ONE!!! You’ll see why!!!! Turns out these CPK folk know what they’re doing!!!! 😆

Change my mind. I can't think of ONE product of theirs that is better than it used to be. Their "milk chocolate" is a joke, barely legal to be called chocolate. Even my wife and youngest daughter, that love milk chocolate, think it's not very good anymore. :confused: :thumbsdown:

The only thing from Hershey's that's good is the cookies and creme bar, because it never needed real chocolate to begin with.

Average annual inflation almost 3.5% for the last 90 years
Average savings account paying less than half a percent
Average mattress paying 0% or less

Cash is a pretty lousy investment too.
At least its liquid. For now.
If only it could buy better chocolate.

There is a fair amount of high quality chocolate out there. It is getting fairly expensive and is usually not the stuff people would eat as candy bars. Let me give you a few tips. 🤣

Today I saw more and more clearly the path that a huge number of people are taking in the financial markets.


The average loss I’m observing among people is from –40% to –60% of their capital.


And this is happening on a rising market.


How do they even manage to do that?
Family savings down > –90%
Took out a loan to buy more because it was dropping → still –90%


Guys, just stay the hell away from the markets.

TikTok and social media are making people gamble like never before.


Completely without any attempt to understand what they’re doing.


This is an epidemic.

On the plus side, 6 people made $1 million dollar wagers on Polymarket on 2/27, that Iran would be bombed by 2/28. The $6 million ‘gamble’ returned $529 million.

Is it gambling if it’s not really gambling? 😅

I guess this partially explains why many Americans only have ~$900 saved for retirement. Or so I read recently. 😣

Very true. I prefer to get my chocolate from Eataly or one of the many Swiss chocolatiers. I think some of it is north of $50/lb? It’s getting to where an ounce is the cost of a meal.
