Sometimes in life, we are called to make great decisions.

You sound kind of squeamish to me. Of course I grew up the son of a veterinarian so I got to hold up bull's tails while he castrated them. Their tails are not known for being clean. Heck me and my brother used to have testicle fights where we threw the bull or pig nuts at each other. Great fun!

I had to hold pigs every Saturday at a sale barn too, so my dad could vaccinate them. They would get excited when you picked them up and urinate and defecate all over everyone involved. Add to that cleaning out horse stalls for 10 years and suddenly sticking my hand in a bowl full of my own urine doesn't seem like a problem. Been there done that without rubber gloves.

Field dressing deer is kind of gross though. The first time I pulled a steaming pile of heart, lungs and guts out of a 200 pound animal that had been alive 5 minutes ago it kind of got to me. Now I kind of enjoy it... the clean up is rough though. Rinse off your hands with a bottle of water and wipe them on the cold grass or leaves and you still look like one of Manson's crew.

I dont doubt i am. My dad butchered a pig a couple of times in our garage and seeing the decapitated pig head in a bucket is probably one of the reasons i'm a vegetarian.

That's funny! A pen is keepingy hair up right now...maybe I should be careful it won't fall out.

To be honest, I wonder if the pencil, or a pen, would really back up the septic tank. Since it's so skinny. But it wasn't a chance I was willing to take.

This is me at one in the morning or later and traumatized by my pee'd up pencil.

If you had $26M would you invest in a moderately risky venture for an expected 5% return over 5 years?

Thank you all for your replies. It will help me a lot.

what prompted the question is a proposal my boss had made about developing land. The cost to develop the land is about $26M and I can't see people investing with a return of about 5%.

For the risk, no. It would be an attractive offer if it was low risk, I would say. but moderate risk, no. You would want to see a 15-20 percent return for moderate risk, at least to me.

Alien Covenant is not a good movie and we should stop watching new Alien films because it is so bad.

Not every movie is going to be a real winner winner chicken dinner. To be honest, I liked the movie Bats a lot growing up. And I liked Alien Covenant, even though it was so sad. But everyone has different taste.

I honestly do not feel this is a matter of taste. Shallow, barely explained character motivation, lazy writing, overused tropes....I mean, I'm sure some people enjoyed the movie, but not because there is anything good about it.

Bats is also a movie like that, I hardly remember now, but I did enjoy it when I watched it, and remember enough about it to know that it's kinda of a silly b type movie that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Covenant takes itself INCREDIBLY seriously, which is what fans wanted, but ends being a silly movie since it was so poorly done. If it took the time to laugh at itself, it would be better, but even so, that wasn't the kind of horror sci fi I was led to expect by everything that came before it.

if resource was suddenly abundantly free with the allowable knowledge of technology we possess.

In times of great plenty, societies tend to grow, advancing technologically and culturally.

Infinite plenty would be a different beast and there really isn't any precedent for it. Even in times of plenty, we spend a great deal of time acquiring means of survival. If there was no need to spend any time doing that, or if the time spent doing that was really minimal, what would we spend time doing? Boredom would be an even more intense issue than it is right now.

There are blue chip stocks you could buy that give you a comparable quarterly dividend.

Bank interest is also really nice when you have that much in an account.
