  1. “Geiger counter enthusiast”? I was nerd as a kid, but really wandering around park department buildings looking for radiation? “specialists” arriving, but going to get a Geiger counter, dishwashing gloves, and broken mop handle ? Good thing they called the pros.
  2. Not subscribed. Been a few years since I’ve done a re-watch Has this site done a best drama series ever debate thread? 16 years later The Wire is hard to beat, but I’ve excluded the 5th season on all my rewatches which probably influences my opinion.
  3. A) somewhere Steel Shank is tipping his cap and thinking about laying pipe. B) what’s with the pixels? Removed someone else’s insta/twitter watermark?
  4. ^Not sure if sarcasm font? The awards are a joke regardless, but they do look back across some time period. So the 2019 winner is actually the 2016 Tundra and the 2016-2500. But it’s all based on consumer survey, so the guy who’s annoyed enough with his 3 USB port cup holder light to be bitching = the guy with a blown head gasket at 500 miles. Customer satisfaction and dependability!
  5. “You fellers have a coffee cup and a couple napkins? ...ah shit, don’t mind me I’ll just use this dead soldier for a spitter. *thunk-thunk thunk*” Do it for Rex!
  6. I go with “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence off God to discuss the oldest open action item 2018-52.4, Bob’s Group’s TPS Report PEN15-55378008. Bob, I think there was an issue with accounting on the PO...uh...let’s see...8675309...that correct?” Who gives a shit? I’m not wowing anyone with my intro here. Let’s get down to brass tacks, so we can all do our jobs and get back to fucking off on the internet.
  7. In. Loved the novel. Liked the original movie. The Texan turned out to be good-natured, generous, and likable. In 3 days no one could stand him.
  8. Then you can look forward to NAPE 2: Summer Boogaloo.
  9. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!? You little piece of shit!
  10. 140 went down with her. 266 US dead in the final battle. Battle of Santa Cruz Islands
  11. I own a smartphone. I make more than the median income. I’m saving at a rate more conservative than the 4% rule. I put away more than 10% of my salary towards retirement +”savings” +kids college. I had more than 1x my salary in retirement at 30, not including general savings or an emergency fund. Without googling the latest information I’d wager I have more in my 401k and Roth than the median American twice my age. I’m not the problem... I’m not saying don’t own a smartphone, but if you can’t make ends meet, maybe don’t make fucking phone payments @ $25/month for the rest of your life to AT&T or Apple. Rock an iPhone 7 for a few years and use that extra cash for some bonds or simple ETFs. At 70 years old no one is going to care that you had face tracking bitmojis before your neighbor. Most Americans have “lifetime savings” that are multiples of their weekly take home pay not their AGIs, that’s scary as fuck to me, and I’m the prepared one.
  12. “Oh no my cellphone bricked, now I won’t have access to my budgeting app or my financial institutions’ app where I enjoyed comparing expense ratios on various bogglehead ETFs” said maybe 3 in 300MM Americans ever.
  13. Fidelity used to include in their mailer this stupid chart plotting age vs 1x 2x 4xSalary, etc that drove me nuts as a young man. Start work at 23 or 24. Save 10% and you’re already behind having 1x your salary at 30. That doesn’t account for what will likely be the fastest wage/salary increases later in your career. That being said 10%, maxed employer contribution, should be the minimum LOE. If you’re like most Americans and don’t have at least 1x your salary saved by the time your in your mid 30s you’re living beyond your means. It doesn’t get any easier when you have kids, a house, etc.
  14. Dinner at the Y always leads to banging.
  15. Obviously carriers’ roles in warfare have changed over time, but that was the last US fleet carrier ever lost in war.
  16. Mom post before and after bikini bellies - twitterverse explodes that she’s starving herself, should be spending her workout time with her baby. Trainer or dietician posts before and after photos - instagram blows up that they looked fine or better in the before. Fat is fabulous and big is beautiful. They’re contributing to unhealthy self-esteem and body shaming. CrossFit couple posts sweaty selfie to facebook. Comments go viral that she looks like a man, and he shaves his chest like a gay boy. Etc. The common thread is society is dying and people say dumb shit online which other people react to by saying dumber shit.
  17. I drafted up a sketch of your mom like one of my French girls. Wearing a necklace...only a necklace.
