Thanks All!

In all of human history, the greatest of great nations/empires rotted from within. Gun violence is simply one reincarnation of a social construct that is breaking within our great nation. The same example can be seen time and time again throughout history with different means. We have many other constructs that are failing as well, and all emblematic of what has happened historically (more institutions to support people than instruments for them to support themselves). I don't have an answer and I'd love to be a part of the solution. Maybe I am ignorant or incompetent, but I just am blind to what it is to try to be a part of it.

Overexposed image. Black absorbs light so cam thought it was dark as you noted. You may want to do something more than reset. I hear a lot of “stories” on bear attacks on cams, and when they don’t get it the first time, they do come back for a second shot. Surprisingly very common in those situations according to customers. Can you high mount the cam and angle down?
-
Just let it go and see if the cam updates. It updates once a day and can be seen in the Camera Details part of the app. Look to see what time it updated status. It’ll check in around that same time. If it goes an hour beyond, then the bear had a snack.

The solar panel? 79 plus shipping and tax individually.

Nothing new for a while. They are more focused on app.

This one has a battery but still using lithiums is a good ideaZ

I received the Browning RIDGELINE in yesterday. Also told I should be getting in some ATT Reveal X in near future. Ridgeline is dual carrier so I like the simplicity of that for sales and buying purposes. Just one cam to hunt down. Reveal X is doing well. Been messing with a lot of solar on it since I’ll be setting up cams for the long haul here in the next few weeks. Aim is to set them in a few states and not touch them again until I pull post season.

Like a snowball rolling downhill!

I saw that. Have to assume someone is going to be hung out to dry; people cannot be happy with the "we got it covered" mentality when in reality it was not covered at all. I bet that bang was impressive though, lol EDIT* The roof of the containment vehicle....was found TWO BLOCKS AWAY!

RSUs are the famed golden handcuffs. Love/Hate! We run through Fidelity and we have a decent plan selection. A good chunk of mine is in index but the rest is heavy into the higher risk higher growth focus. Large cap crushed it for me the past year or so.
-
Our company stock has been doing well. I have a position there too that I pretty much HODL as well - not enough to make me Enron 2.0 should crap hit the fan, but enough that it raises eyebrows for me when I see the price growth. RSUs vest August 1-15 for me this year. To the damn moon...8 new price targets released this week with 15-20% upside on top of the gains already.

Doing ok here as well on 401K. Been laying low on active holdings. Slowly adding to ETH position and REITs. Otherwise been pretty chill. Let the others have fun.

Momentum. Got trim on, and lower panels starting to be added.

Pensions fell off the popularity wagon because of exactly what you described and employers bore more of the brunt of cost for employees' lives beyond their applicable work contributions. The part that stinks is that churning those EEs out over time doesn't fix the challenges of rising benefit costs. I'm fortunate to get some inside context around benefits at our company and from what I understand that we're not unique. A disproportionately small % of participants in an employer's plan consume the overwhelming majority of money put into a plan. The subsidizing is needed to even have the plans functional. Pensions now are the frying pan into the fire scenario. I do see escalating wage growth happening for EEs so that is good, but I haven't seen companies look to reduce margins or dividends either to shore that gap up. Chase for example bumped up analyst pay 15% starting wage, but nobody asked the question where its coming from. I haven't seen a good answer there yet unless they're somehow improving leverage and finding excess capital to move into the expense side of the house. Example being - I need $200K for my expense budget. For me to get that, I need to grow revenue by $1M roughly. So where is it coming from, in these cases.
-
It'd be hard to get a firm number as it's not required released detail. Auto industry is more unique in that employee expenses are not the top expense line. In the majority of industries, EEs typically are #1, followed by benefits, etc. But in large, I did see that there is a wide swing I guess model to model and brand to brand. What annoys me is that a few places listed "administration" as being 10% of the cost of production and that is one heck of a sloppy term - that could mean alot of things and maybe even mean different things to different companies. Net margins were pretty small as I suspected but GM seems to be doing pretty well compared to where it was years ago.
-
Gross margins of 10-20%. Net margins much less; two different measurements I see for Gm for 2020 or part of 2020 and 2021 range between 5-7% net. Direct labor from what industry detail shows is 21% ballpark. Materials making up 50-60% on average.

I remember one particular Pembroke Dragon cheerleader. Ahhhhhh.......... The custom ability is pretty neat. Never knew you could do that.

There is a very big difference in western hunting vs whitetails. I suspect the financial impact to being caught will be a determining factor. Akin to some states that charge fines based on trophy status of the game. Would believe that a cam used to aid in killing a trophy bull probably going to cost five figures between the charges. I don't think it's going to be a bigger factor for whitetail hunting for some time. I could be wrong but we don't have the constraints of water holes and smaller herd sizes on larger animals...Plus most agenices know that tech integration is just the next evolution of animal control.

Six days between pics posted. He is the deer on the left in the 6/23 image. Lowwww deer density but we’ll take it.
