01[13:17] {Threei} I don't think it's seasonal
01[13:17] {Threei} I think it's big indecisiveness
[13:17] {nemo} it's all HFT's fault

[13:30] {Alexs} what else they can say
01[13:30] {Threei} well, point is, NATO membeship is not likely to protect Baltic countries very much
[13:30] {Alexs} no idon't see it like that
[13:32] {Alexs} if NATO won't protect their allies it will kill itself
01[13:32] {Threei} yup
[13:32] {nemo} NATO is the US the rest are pussies
01[13:32] {Threei} Europe has no guts to fight
01[13:33] {Threei} and US is not willing to solve Europe problems without Europe participation anymore
01[13:33] {Threei} they will sanction Russia, one person at a time
01[13:34] {Threei} 7 individuals sanctioned for Crimea... 20 more for Ukraine... 13 for Latvia...
01[13:34] {Threei} etc
[13:34] {Alexs} Ukraine is not a NATO member, they had 20 years to get there just was to busy stealing others money that's the problem
01[13:34] {Threei} by the time Russian empire is restored, maybe 300 will be sanctioned

[14:06] {RonS} add it as an Olympic event?
[14:06] {cosmo} east/west
01[14:06] {Threei} meaning, Russia will ban HIllary's daughter from taking courses in Kaluga univercity?
[14:06] {cosmo} exactly :)
01[14:06] {Threei} hehe
[14:07] {cosmo} that's how it starts
[14:10] {nemo} this likely bottom in indexes

[14:50] {nemo} Why You Should Never, Ever, Question A Drunk...
[14:50] {nemo} Sally was shopping at the local supermarket where she selected:
[14:50] {nemo} A half-gallon of 2% milk
[14:50] {nemo} A carton of eggs
[14:50] {nemo} A quart of orange juice
[14:50] {nemo} A head of lettuce
[14:50] {nemo} A 2 lb. can of coffee
[14:50] {nemo} A 1 lb. package of bacon
[14:50] {nemo} While she was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier.
[14:50] {nemo} While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated, 'You must be single.'
[14:50] {nemo} She was a bit startled by this proclamation, but was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she indeed had never found Mr. Right.
[14:50] {nemo} She looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about the selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her marital status.
[14:51] {nemo} Curiosity getting the better of her she said, 'Yes you are correct. But how on earth did you know that?'
[14:51] {nemo} The drunk replied, 'Cause you're ugly.
[14:51] {dptl} great...now i have to scroll
