    That trailer looks a lot better than what I expected, to be honest. I'm more interested in it now than I was, say, a week ago.

    Same here.  Not sure it'll be as good as Rogue One, but I'll fork over more money to Disney for this one.

    War Games is the definitive 80s flick to me.

    I think this one is better.

    It has the Cold War theme, though not at the level of nuclear annihilation, but is significantly funnier, and has the quintessential 1980s soundtrack.

    i like the food at F&D but the "you have to order your entire meal all at once" thing is a turnoff for me

    Hmm. We’ve never had to do that. We had an appetizer before deciding on our entree.  Didn’t seem like a problem.

    He was a little bitch at the end of his run, but I don’t hate the man and respect what he did for the program all in all in the earlier years. 

    About as well as I could state it.

    For you guys on Keto - I’ve been on it for a few weeks now with a nice steady drop in weight.  I read where symptoms of the keto flu may include diarrhea.  I don’t really feel bad, but this shit is getting ridiculous (pun intended).  Any advice, including surly, is appreciated.

    I've read that if you go on a Keto or another high-fat diet without easing into it you can get some GI issues.

  6. I've bought my last two houses without a realtor and gotten the sellers to give me a credit for the 3% they would have otherwise paid my realtor.  My wife and I are both lawyers, but even nonlawyers can fill out a standard Texas Real Estate Commission form contract. 

    Realtors can be helpful for first time buyers or buyers who recently moved to a city and are unfamiliar with the market.  Beyond that, I don't think they add much value.  I think they're much more valuable for selling a house (pricing, marketing, staging, etc.).
