It's not the largest deficit ever. That's a little surprising.

The ratio of debt servicing to total expenditure is probably higher than its ever been though.
Insolvency looms.

Didn't you make a bet about the debt not hitting some level like $40T during the year?

YEEESSSIIR. ... but @mega_dreamer beat out the competition (it was on Bitcoinprediction.market, and they closed down).
And it was "by July 4th."
And it won't.

Statement from my team today.
Hey is it possible to dm someone on SN? Or should we get another post going for our league to communicate?
reply
36 sats \ 2 replies \ @grayruby 3 Apr
You used to be able to DM by depositing sats and adding a comment to another user but unfortunately we don't seem to be able to do that anymore. I thought that is what the league chat is for. But we can get another post going and I will pin it if you want.

I need to just leave my team's tab open. It's too easy for me to get distracted and forget to set my lineup.

I usually go to espn to check sats and scores anyways so I just check the league when I am there but I haven't looked at it today.

Why do you have 13 starting pitchers? Haha.
This is why I wanted the lineups to be set once per week. So we didn't need to check every day to see who is starting.

I basically do set my lineup once per week. Things can get shifted with rainouts and injuries though....

Lol I get that it's a bit unorthodox hahaha. In hindsight I wish I gave us at least 2 or 3 utility slots. Can't change it now
