  1. The general rule, once you get to being an adult who can rent a car, is half your age + 7, and that's as low as you go. Obviously, one can still be in a pretty low zone with that rule, but it generally keeps one out of the completely fucking weird and creepy zone.
  2. Kind of like Watergate. People understand a burglary and attempts to cover up a burglary.
  3. Given how that story ended. I’ll allow it
  4. There ya go
  5. At least they own the “faces for radio” bit
  6. Not if you shorted it before you tanked it.
  7. Counterpoint...at least when it comes to the deep/hardened cult members and not the dumbasses who voted for eggs and lulz
  8. I mean Elon already did that.
  9. ok
  10. Feels like the plane graveyards about to get a lot more MD-11s
  11. I'm just not sure what other material numbers could POSSIBLY matter when it comes to pushing averages around. Oh, say maybe new participant entry....which admittedly they don't share here, would tend to have a downward effect on savings rate averages of the overall pool of savers. Newer/lower-income individuals, as they enter these types of plans, tend to save at a reduced rate compared to their older generation/higher-income earning counterparts. If fewer younger people are entering these kinds of plans (Gen Z in particular), then no shit, the average savings rate of the remaining pool of Boomers/Xers will go up. I'm not saying that is happening, but there are tons of things outside of my admittedly snarky first comment that could be pushing these numbers, and so it doesn't need to be swallowed as some sign of "all is well"
  12. Guess the new one is the special edition with new CGI and shit....
  13. Isn't this a rerun of a tweet from a few months back? We're already in syndication?
  14. The talk about venue selection used to be even crazier in playoff baseball. Until last few years at 5A or 6A, baseball playoffs could be 1 game winner take all or 3 game series. The UIL has since changed the rules, so all playoffs at those levels are best of 3 (except the final, which is still kind of odd when you think about it). Used to be a lot of horse trading over agreeing to 1 game, which an overmatched squad that had one good/great pitcher would of course prefer, vs the 3 game series that the better overall team wanted. All of that then threaded through the whole "where we playing these game(s)" conversation.
  15. $144K eh....They're gonna live FOREVER! and that's an average not a median.
  16. Eh they may tar and feather and string him up simply for what a douchebag he is but, and you don't have to agree with this guy, he does bring up some interesting points with respect to what he calls the "trap" of invoking the founders/framers in today's present set of circumstances (never mind the fact that well before they got to the later comment about a black man being president the technology of the present day would likely give them a coronary from the shock of it all if they were just dropped into it)
  17. Sun deep dicked the Earth?
  18. God damnit. GIVE ME ROMAN NUMERALS OR GIVE ME DEATH!!!!!
  19. It’s fairly likely that at least one them is a pedophile murderer.
  20. Looks -45 degrees
  21. Fealty to the "team" is strong and makes weak people of poor character make terrible decisions. The desire to belong to the tribe is stronger than the desire to do the right thing. See...Penn State fans, Baylor fans, Trump fans, etc etc etc.
