The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is probably useless information but it impresses me, once again, on how powerful and how versatile Robbie's GTR1 tool is. I find this amazing but you are free to stop reading at any point.

I show here two URLs that launch in GTR1 and look completely different and yet both are the same screen and produce the same results. They are each presented in their compressed forms simply to save space.

The first is the screen made using GTR1 Helper and making a blend of the SI Pro screens High_Relative_Value and VG_Horse. I ran that screen and saved the following URL:

http://gtr1.net/2013/blend.cgi?!!QlpoMTFBWSZTWSDN7...

While still in GTR1 Helper, I used that program's ability to "Copy URL" and used that to launch a "new" screen in the browser which appears quite different but, when comparing results to the first screen, is exactly the same. That second run gives me a compressed URL the looks like this:

http://gtr1.net/2013/?!!QlpoMTFBWSZTWSDN7lsAB59fgH...

When comparing the two URLs, you can easily see that they only differ slightly in their beginnings. Otherwise they are the same but they look quite different when launched. I'll leave it to the reader to make a comparison of the non-compressed URLs.
