  1. My legislation would require a non-compete to include a severance package that covers the time until it expires since the employer is blocking your right to work.  Either let me work elsewhere or pay me not to work. Your choice.

    This was me with math in HS - taught mainly by coaches.  It wasn't until grad school that I realized it's not a great mystery and is actually pretty interesting and applicable.  

    We ended up getting a tutor. That's the best $50 a week I've ever spent.  It's been so successful, we're just going to keep the tutor for AP Calculus next year regardless if she needs it. A side benefit is that the tutor has taught her really good study skills.

  3. I think those critics were hoping for more of a backstory, and maybe some politics.

    It had a ton to say about war photographers. I think most viewers may not realize it’s a movie about that and not war.

  4. Good flick, and even the title is FAFO-ish.

    If you haven’t seen the director’s cut, find it. It’s a completely different movie but somehow even more bad ass.

  5. My wife thought it was meh. A lot of her older stuff was slowed down or dropped a key so she could sing it. She said Madonna looked like a toddler struggling to walk in mom’s high heels. Just own it. You’re almost 70. Put on those Sketchers. My wife left at 1:10 but didn’t know if there was an encore after that.


  6. Yeah…we’re going to tomorrow’s show. Sounds super fun.

    Although now the wife and I can plan on a nice, late dinner. Then get to the show around 10:00, dressed pretty damned casually and comfortably.

    My wife texted and said she came on at 10:20 and it was hot AF.
  7. My wife is at the Madonna concert.  Apparently, Madonna doesn't allow venues to use air conditioning and she hasn't been hitting the stage until 10:30-11 every night.  Her shows have been regularly ending between 12:30-1:00AM.  It's like she doesn't know her fanbase goes to bed at 9PM.

     

     

     

  8. Waterloo Records had 20% off of all records this weekend.

    I filled some gaps in my Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam discographies, found a copy of the DJ Kicks: Kruder & Dorfmeister album, and picked up the new Kim Gordon and Hermanos Gutierrez albums.

     

     

  9. I guess we decided to abandon the attacking profile that won the last two games and just play Wolffball passing in our half until we give the ball away at midfield.

  10. This was excellent. If you expect to see motivations in the movie, you will be disappointed. All you know is that there’s 3 sides (that we know of)…US, Western Forces (CA, TX) and Florida Man. That’s it. We are not given anything about any side’s politics. They talk about some bad things the President did but there’s no context given so you don’t really form an opinion about him either.

    I can see Dunst getting an Oscar nod. Everyone was excellent in their roles.

    The ending is MAGA’s wet dream.

  11. Mine went up 15.1%. WTF.  I guess the two new constructions on my street that went for $2.1M in the past year fucked up everyone's valuations.

    My improvements increased almost 50%.  There have been no improvements.

    Hopefully Pro Tax can fix it.

    Record release party at Empire Control Room Thursday.  Look for the internet dad.

    You should hide your Sabbath and Slayer records from your kid.  That new song is heavy as shit. Good stuff.

  13.  

    IIRC, he’d also given his son a pair of those same shoes in the same size. His son was a chef with his own set of knives he took to and from work. Both his shoes and knives disappeared. He also blamed Nicole for the marriage breaking up.

    If there’s one person OJ would protect, it’s his kid.
