  1. Past hour
  2. Norris with some electrical issue it seems which I reckon helped Piastri
  3. That is certainly one very possible result. But then I remember that it was common for ‘sundown towns’ to exist, for kids to work 16 hour days in factories without any thought to safety. When my grandparents were alive, there was no minimum wage, so it was a routine for companies to pay people almost nothing- while requiring employees to rent their shacks and shop at their company store - turning employees into virtual serfs and hiring private goon armies to break unions - all while the employers were protected by the bullshit known as “freedom of contract”. I remember American history and seeing that the klan was so strong in the 1920s nationwide that it controlled politics in many states - and was supported by Americans to the point it felt comfortable conducting huge parades down Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House. The widely supported Mccarthy hearings that destroyed the lives of many innocent people by innuendo, abandoned by friends, who knew they were innocent, with their employers bowing to fear and pressure and black listing them, truth and the rule of law seemingly no longer mattering in the face of false patriotism that, like today, wipes its ass on the constitutional liberties supposed to protect everyone. I am not holding out false hope at all. But being a student of history, I am not going to completely ignore the other times in American history when things looked so bad that most agreed it was the sign of the end of the country. Citizens and their government were so heartless, stupid, and cruel that it was the only result possible…but it wasn’t.
  4. Piastri with a brilliant move for the lead at the top of the hill.
  5. Would be valued for more of it wasn't washed after she wore it I bet
  6. Safety Car still on the track, four laps down. Should be about to start. Now.
  7. Which still doesn't answer the question of why you'd bring a sketchy explosive back to the office. Take it out ot a pasture and shoot it with a .223 or something.
  8. Can’t really make too many conclusions on WR based off last year imo.
  9. A bunch are getting no-billed. From the Los Angeles Times:
  10. Yup, sounds like it’s just sorting the details of the add-ons. Hopefully sooner rather than later and I hope Newcastle can get Sesko through the door to expedite Isak. That announcement in the Adidas kit will hit like crack. A CB (or two, preferably) and malleable winger profile (Fofana, perhaps) + offloading Nunez, Chiesa, and Elliott would likely complete the window.
  11. Yeah, if 19-15 (6-12 SEC) gets a team an 11 seed, I'm not gonna worry about a "shitty" noncon schedule. Just win the games.
  12. Good luck with your search ... I'm not sure the person you seek is out there, or if they are they are probably an actuary working for a firm that is charging big bucks for their services. You might try some online forums like this place, but for finances. I've visited early-retirement.org and used firecalc in addition to creating my own spreadsheets, but firecalc is not going to help with your Roth analysis.
  13. I was kind of expecting one of the ICE agents to wind up in cuffs
  14. Getting ready to start now. Two laps behind the Safety Car
  15. I think everyone would prefer that you stay asleep.
  16. They acted like they were heroes for saving the day. Even though they knew the truth. Really disgusting. Definitely shades of Uvalde. It's shocking how useless PD's are at being productive members of society.
  17. Tua is basically a vegetable at this point, going to come down to whether or not he can beat out Zack Wilson
  18. I agree although it does happen occasionally where a guy without elite traits has a highly successful pro career. Personally I see him similar to Jordan Whittington who was drafted in the 6th but Moore has a slightly higher skill and a better QB.
  19. Not sure why, but his death hit me particulary hard. July of 2014 iirc.
  20. As a side note, I’m amazed at how everyone is ok with asset under management fees from .5-1%+ annually, forever. This creates huge drags on a portfolio, and the work financial planners do is relatively “fixed”. It’s one of the biggest rackets out there, along with 6% real estate commissions on $2M+ homes.
