    The Borealis is just an Isofrane knockoff.

     

    It looks that way. Which is fine for me on this MoonSwatch. Which showed up yesterday btw. It feels a little cheap tbh, but I like it.

    I've seen a lot of racism expressed because I'm mayonnaise white and the racists thought that I would automatically agree with them.  Like I'm part of their safe space.  When I push back, they shut up.  It's not guilt, they just don't want the push back.

    I get this quite a bit too living in East Texas. People are outright shocked when they get push back. I think it's just something they very rarely encounter in their day to day.

    I will cast my vote for anyone who promises to disable pre-sunrise Blue Alerts.

    Some cop got into a tussle 7 hours away from me so I have to be screamed at by my phone at 4:30am.

    I was lucky to pull my money out in time. One of the adult kids left around $1400 in 

    I pulled 50% of mine out before I even knew this was going on, but still have more than your kid left in there.

    The latest status report from the trustee mentions the below, which I assume means anyone with funds still stuck is taking a haircut. If I remember correctly, Yotta automatically transferred customer funds held in an Evolve DDA to a Synapse FBO account. This dirty trick means the FDIC isn't coming to save us.

    I hope some motherfuckers go to jail over this. <Laughs in white collar crime>

    Any update? I heard there might be a "reconciliation" by Oct 18. no clue what the fuck that means

    I've got a decent amount of money still stuck with them. I contacted their support at the end of August for an update and received a quick response:

    Thanks for asking. According to the Synapse Trial Balance Report, your funds are at Evolve. At this time we do not have updates about access or disbursement regarding funds at Evolve. We will be sure to reach out with new updates as soon as we have them.

    I've been checking their updates and trying to read through the filings as this thing drags on. The most pertinent one recently was:

    9/4/2024:

    An additional hearing in the SynapseFi bankruptcy case was held on Friday where the Trustee discussed their most recent status report.

    Evolve Bank has stated that they expect its reconciliation to take 8 weeks from August 23 when their data collection was completed.

    To date the following distributions have been made for FBO funds of end users of all fintech companies:

    AMG National Trust: $109,270,681

    Lineage Bank: $49,200,617

    Evolve Bank & Trust: $0

    Get your shit together Evolve.

    It always seemed so far off to me, even after my daughter started her senior year of high school, and even when she graduated this past May and still had a whole summer with us. 

    We fly out on Thursday to move her into her freshman dorm.  I'll fly back Saturday morning.  By myself. 

    There's a brewery in Eugene, Oregon where on Friday evening the patrons are going to be quietly looking at a guy having pints at a table all by himself and asking, "Why is that guy crying?"

    Fuck man. You've done great if she got into a good school and is comfortable enough to move so far away. Props.

    I can still remember the day my parents dropped me off at UT and not really understanding why my mom was so emotional. I was such a fucking asshole.

  7. Man, reading through this thread and seeing dads in all the various stages of raising kids brings all kinds of memories and thoughts of the future to the surface. I've got three kids, 15, 11, & 9 years old and it just feels like it's all going too fast at this point. I really try to be present and remember that these are the good old days I'm living through right now.

    The main thing I'm trying to work on right now is saying "yes" as much as I can. Not to pleas of wanting to put off doing homework or stuff like that, but saying yes when they are asking me to do something with them. Will you play catch, will you play a video game with us, will you pull us on the tube, etc. Sometimes it's easy to say I've got work to do or whatever, but I'm really trying to say yes as much as possible since I can feel time slipping away from me.

    It guts me to think about only having 3.5 more years of my oldest living with us. Fuck.
