06:22 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:57 <@Dolemite> Man, Elon Musk sure does show his stupidity more and more every day.  At what point are the boards for his companies going to oust him?
07:07  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:07 < aestetix> well Dolemite since you are a stockholder maybe you should speak up
07:08 <@Dolemite> No, I sold mine
07:08 < aestetix> Did you make any profit?
07:08 <@Dolemite> When it spiked back to slightly more than I paid for it, I got out.  Then it dropped, again.
07:08 <@Dolemite> I made like 2-3% profit.
07:09 <@Dolemite> actually I had a small loss, looking at my account.
07:09 <@Dolemite> But I sold at $285 and it's currently $236 per share
07:10 < aestetix> oh nice
07:14 <@Dolemite> My best bet was buying up as much as I could afford of Royal Caribbean Stock during the pandemic.   My basis cost is $55.53/share and it's currently at $106/share.
07:15 <@Dolemite> Carnival I'm still upside on and Norwegian I'm just barely at a profit.   They haven't marketed as effectively as RCL has by any metric.
07:16 <@Dolemite> Well, that and they made more strategic investments during the downtime
07:17 <@Dolemite> Their private island is full of optional add-ons and right now people are spending stupid amounts of money on them.   ie - You pay $1000 per person for a 7 day cruise, then you go to the private island and throw down $1500 just to get a private beach cabana, even though there are complimentary chairs with umbrellas all over the island.   The pricing is demand based, like for airlines, so the more people 
07:17 <@Dolemite> keep buying it up, the higher the price gets.
07:18 <@Dolemite> As an investor, I'm laughing all the way to the bank.  As a cruiser, I'm laughing at the stupidity of people.
07:20 < aestetix> Hmmm ... private island
07:20 <@Dolemite> Next week they launch the new Icon of the Seas ship - a monster of a vessel.  I have no desire to try to get on it for at least 4-5 years because the prices are so high on the newest class of ships.   Our next two cruises are on "Medium" sized ships because that's where the deals are.
07:20 < aestetix> I wish I could hear that phrase without thinking about Epstein

07:21 <@Dolemite> You can see from the satellite view how expansive it is

09:15 < Evilpig> this security guy in this meeting just reminded me I need to set up my vpn backdoor as a systemd unit still
14:20 <@Dagmar> That's a goddamn floating shopping mall
