my favorite subplot of the administration atm is that from everything we see published or quoted, it looks the generals three have decided that they arent going to try to win the factional battle for control of trumps mush brain and will instead just run their own lil boutique govt shop w its own foreign policy and military engagement planning and so on, until and unless trump tells them unambiguously to stop

word is that a pile of pentagon procurement red tape is being cut to the point that approvals which would take months are now getting done in a day or two

Babies grow up and that’s okay, it’s like, sometimes a great meal is worth a lot of prep, for example. Horses only get more likely to die from a stupid reason as they get older. Oh poor ol’ Freckles, thought of ants and died.

With horses, there is no such thing as a natural death at any point in existence: they’ve strictly only died from stupid poo poo. Saw water and passed away.

As someone who grew up with a couple friends into horses and loving dressage I can say that if anything you are being way too easy going on them. Its like their survival strategy is to break their legs or kill them selves at the slightest sign of danger, or a noise, or a change in humidity.

My friends barn had to install a big fence because they were next to a turkey farm and despite the horses seeing these birds every single loving day, any time you’d ride past them most of the horses would briefly flip out and hurt them selves or throw their rider when the turkeys came into view. You could literally ride in a loop for an hour and every single time the horse would “scare” at the turkeys.

Maybe wilder horses are smarter but dressage horses are more fragile and stupid than a baby that just learned to crawl. They will jump onto fences and cut them selves in half, they will get stuck between buildings, they will randomly for no reason at all break their legs. If there is a way to kill or hurt them selves they will find it. And people drop 50k or more on these idiots.

The best part about horses is that is only true if you're a decent horse owner and actually care for your horse. If you don't give a poo poo & keep in in a field with old rusting farm equipment with sharp edges and loose rolls of barbed wire on the ground it will be fine and healthy right up until you clean the pasture up and fix the fence at which point it will do this

If you listen to the pundits, you must be waiting for the real estate market to come crashing down. Talk of a "real estate bubble" has scared investors and homeowners alike. Now three masters of real estate investing take on the "bubble babble" and puncture the myths that have spread through the media.

Every market, including real estate, has its cycles. The question is: do you have an investment strategy that is prepared for downturns as well as upturns? These three wealthy and successful investors all arrive at the same fundamental principles. They show you how you can safely invest in real estate and build your wealth at any point in the market cycle

Trump didn't write it, he just let them use his picture. This goes along with him saying you should invest in real estate in 2007 to his classes (thru one DVD ofc) though.

Which will in turn burn silicon valley.

And everything else.

You can't really bubble proof, but you can minimize the damage. Moving into bonds have historically shaved a good 1/3-1/2 of the damage off if your money is locked in. Otherwise, get the money out and be ready to put it all back in again.

I once helped a family member take care of a horse because she had it raped/breed and when it gave birth it actually forgot it was pregnant and refused to mother the foal/colt what the gently caress ever so i wound up spending a couple nights in a tack room with a cot, an electric heater, and a game boy while I bottle feed the dumb thing.


On the bright side, once you know how to do that you can make like 50 bucks for an hours work picking horse stalls and poo poo so if you want to make some nice booze money and hit on cowgirls I would highly recommend

Women who are obsessed with horses are just as bad as ones who are obsessed with anything else, but it may be dumber because it's a placeholder for animalistic male sexuality; however, in reality, it doesn't hold up because dominant male sexual energy is incompatible with horse personality and tendencies because, again, they're absolutely going to kill themselves by accident, whereas studs and straight power tops are highly unlikely to catch their reflection in a mirror then break their leg and get eaten by a mountain lioness

My dad had a horse fall in a hole and almost die. They had to use a truck wench to get her out. She was too weak to walk so they tied ropes between two trees to hold her up. It took days of them hand feeding her before she could stand or walk on her own.
Less than a month later, she fell in the same hole and died.
