    Cruz: "I mean do you know of any other instance where the FBI investigated another candidate for President, I mean "no" right, that's crazy" 

    Barr: "No, I do not, well except Hillary as well" 

     

    Missed that. A “but Hillary” that’s actually relevant. And it undercut Cruz at the same time. I can dig it

    Two scenarios so far are plausible. He got busted running around or he doesn't want to be on FB so she puts his name on there so he can be tagged by family for shit he couldn't care less about. 

     

    This is kind of my account. We each have our own, but I don’t log in for anything other than researching people for work. The wife deals with pictures of the kids, responding to family, and other shit that I wouldn’t do otherwise. Haven’t made a post of my own in 5-10 years. Never cheated, don’t give a shit what anybody sends to me. 

  3. Well, at this point chances go down during the day, so the earlier the better(?).  But right now it doesn't look as good as Wed-Fri.  30% chance of rain early in the day, going to about 20% by dinner time.

    My guess is you might have a few hopeful moments, but all in all this doesn't seem to be an outdoor "washout" day per current forecast.

    knives aren’t the problem over there.  everyone knows what the problem is but big media refuses to report on it.  

    Too many Brits? My momma says they’re ornery cuz they got all them teeth and no toothbrush 

  5. My dogs sure thought the world was going to end. Around 7 or 8 last night they decided there was no way in hell they were going outside. It was still fairly sunny. That was pretty unsettling. Only ended up with .5 inches, and nothing serious.

    I saw last night on NBC (national) news where a vet shot himself / committed suicide last week in the VA hospital off of Riverside.   In front of a lot of patients. 

    And the story went on to detail how 20 vets a day are committing suicide in the United States.   A day.   

    Yes, tar and feather for a thread derail but my jaw really dropped when I heard that number. 

     

    Not really that surprising if you think about it. How much would you love your job if one of your primary responsibilities including killing your clients' best friend in front of them?

  7. I normally owe a few thousand dollars. I expected to get brutally fucked this year since my firm vastly exceeded expectations, and I wasn't making quarterly payments to account for it. I get a big check at the end of every year (to account for the tax liability on my shares of the firm) that I've always had to hand straight over to the man. I don't know how it happened, but I confirmed with two different CPAs that I fell into the absolute perfect spot with regard to a few of the new tax laws. I'm keeping the entire check (about $35K) plus a $700 refund. Suckas!

    * Fingers crossed my CPAs know what they're doing!

    Taxable value/tax, yes.  Appraised value, no.

     

    To clarify TH’s phrasing so you can understand your tax bill... Appraised value can be whatever the hell they want to say it is. Assessed value is what they actually tax you on, and it’s this number that cannot increase more than 10% with the HS exemption. So if your appraised value went up 20% this year, your assessed value will only go up 10% (and your assessed value will go up another 10% next year unless they reduce your appraised value in 2020).

    Yes.  I have family that thought it was crazy when I said I didn’t want an Alexa because it was spying.  That was a couple years ago.  It’s since come out that Amazon, Facebook, and other companies are listening.  Which should have been obvious to anyone who pays attention to those companies’s business models.

    Do you also choose not to have a cell phone?

    The black hole as pictured is estimated to be some 55 million Light Years away, so the image is what it looked like about 55 million years ago.

     

    Well shit. I hope it doesn't envelope the Earth within those 55 million years. We'd really be in for a surprise.
