I would just get a couple of ceramic tiles. To me it doesn't make sense to lug in a crumbling cement chunk. Dusty too. LOL, it will warm up eventually to room temperature. How will you cool it back down.
A cement slab!

This community here on DC has the most amazing habit of starting a conversation somewhere and ending up continents away from there.

It reminds me of the good old days when The Simpsons was actually interesting.
Every episode would open up with a premise, but it was wildly different by the end. Good, intelligent storytelling.

No cat in that room right now. Just finished with a pair of sweet black cats but they are home now. Pre-cement slab.
I am not sure if our dispensaries carry them, never looked, though weed for recreational here in Ohio is legal and I do buy it.
I own stock in a company MNMD (MIND MEDICINE MINDME). It's not exactly flourishing. I didn't buy much, just a little as a spec stock. It might take a long time to do anything or it might tank and go under, eventually.Hallucinogens such as psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and LSD are being actively studied for their potential medical benefits, especially in mental health. In clinical trials and studies the effects can last weeks after a single dose, unlike conventional antidepressants that require daily use and with the University of Alberta a big player in that space.
This whole area of drugs is very controversial especially where the gov't takes ownership legally and where costs are also controlled by their handlers, the pharmaceutical industry, or at least that what some inquisitive and knowledgably people say.
Yeah, they are called "death caps".
Is it hard to let them go when they get adopted or is it joyous that they have found a forever home?
Sorry we derailed your thread...

Yeah medical applications and companies involved at this early time are very volatile when it comes to early growth. It all all depend on successful clinical trials and regulatory approval. Yeah, it's high risk, high reward before one of these companies are profitable yet. MNMD is a prominent player, but it's a gamble and as such a very small percentage, of any portfolio under these condition should be rather small, under 5%.
I also dabble in the stock market and emerging markets I generally like to keep my eye on as well. I don't own any stock in this market. I generally trade on volume and activity and jump on the train as it's leaving the station and generally bail when the bar car closes. cheers

Marble chopping boards pushed together work. I know this because I have four pushed together on my outdoor kitchen table which in the end I had to put the ovens on because cats (not mine) kept lying on them due to their cooling properties!
I'm a long term investor (I have owned Microsoft since it was $52 a share and I bought AMD at $12 a share, plus purchased NVDA before the split) but I do some trading as well. I have had some good success with specs in the past. I am tech heavy but I have a diversified portfolio. I have made enough money in the stock market to retire in my 50s, though I chose to keep working part time as an IC. Gives me lots of time for vacations!
My squirrels like to lay belly down on the deck railing in the summer. I had read that it helps regulate their temperatures, though I wouldn't expect wood to be cool. I guess because we have so many trees and our decks are in the shade out back it must be okay.

Need to condense it down a bit first. Maybe make an acronym with the explanation in small print?
I actually don't have an opinion on that, do what suits you? I don't have cats, I have some squirrels and birds outside that I feed. Much easier to go on vacation that way.

Yeah, good for you. The main ones for me are Apple which I've owned since 2018 and Tesla, I'm a car guy since 2020 and Broadcom since early 2023 those are my strong holds, it pays the bills and then some. I also like to trade. It's also a great pass time and keeps the brain active when we get to being classified as old, like me. One of my lifelong friends works in the financial world dealing with very high end portfolio's some in the hundreds of millions of dollars, so that helps, a lot, lol. Cheers.

Yes, I bought Apple in 2016. I don't trade it. I don't love Tesla for multiple reasons. HCA (a healthcare stock) has been incredible for me.
Okay we have gone off topic enough!
