  1. @Ghost of LL yeah the spend requirement is just for getting guests in for $0. The reason this was important to me is I fly Delta through Atl 2-3x per month and next year I will lose Sky Club, but with Amex opening Centurion in ATL, ill have another option, albeit not as convenient.
  2. Check me on this, but I think that is just to bring in a guest where there is a spending limit required. Could be wrong though. The link I attached doesnt mention a min spend threshold.
  3. Interestingly, we would have 5 ranked (according this poll) opponents whether we stayed in B12 or not.
  4. Well this solves my 2025 problem of not getting into Delta SkyClub https://about.americanexpress.com/newsroom/press-releases/news-details/2024/American-Express-To-Open-Largest-Centurion-Lounge-at-Hartsfield-Jackson-Atlanta-International-Airport/default.aspx With Delta's '25 change to Skyclub access, having the Amex Platinum will get you in free (well $500 technically, iirc). Wonder if this will ease 2024 overcrowding in ATL Skyclub? 26K square feet, in E concourse, so a bit of hike if you connect in B, but their plane train is very efficient and I usually just walk anyway, as the ATL has done a great job with the walking museums, art etc.. between several of the terminals.
  5. no doubt, like talking about a no no in the 4th inning
  6. What a market. Back up nearly 1/2 a point across the board as of 11am
  7. @Royalfan5 check me on this, but i dont think there is an annual distribution requirement, just the mandatory 'must be 100% liquidated in 10 years' rule. We came into a large ($200k+) inherited 403b and inherited Roth when my SIL passed away in '21 and we have them sitting in 2 inherited IRA accounts with Vanguard and we have not touched it yet.
  8. You've done good young man. Im a pound the S&P guy myself , in a taxable Vanguard account. Ive got you by 15 years, but a good bond fund may be an option. With rates so high right now, they are paying good dividends. When rates come down late this year and next, the bond price will go up, could sell then, principle is pretty much guaranteed if you stagger them right
  9. I am taking this one to be analogous to the theory that the scientists left on their own and froze to death or is analogous to Navarro's sister walking out into the ocean/sea to commit suicide. The Coast Guard found her body. Just spitballing here.
  10. If you want some insight to the dystopian society that is NK, read The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson. Pulitzer Prize winning book about the country. It's quite disturbing; it's a fictional book , but Johnson interviewed countless defectors, people who made it out and their first hand accounts of living under the oppression of the 'great leader' was incredible. Anecdotally, I cant help but think a lot of those musicians were taught by a kidnapped Japanese national musician, brought to NK for the purpose of teaching their specific discipline to a member of the elite who otherwise would have zero access to the resources to learn how to play. I know that piece in the clip was a very simple piece, but that's the kind of shit that goes on there. Complete chaos in that country.
  11. Walked over to our neighborhood deli for a couple sandwiches today at noon, the owner and I are friendly as its a couple doors down from our house...place is busy but not crowded, he asks me who I like in the game....having 3 teen daughters (uh, no), I playfully (and kind of hoping to trigger someone just cause) say the Chiefs b/c more Taylor Swift shots....lady ordering ahead of me lets out a huge guffaw and says how sick she is of hearing about TS. Hahahaha. The CBS tribute with Musburger was great. Grew up watching that show religiously.
  12. Hell of a CF for the Braves. Oh that was Otis
  13. nice pop for sure, i got in at $161.40 forever ago. Its been a good one to hold
  14. Yes that's correct. As opposed to staying closer to Main St/Park Avenue/ Town Lift....Park City Base does not provide a lot to do after skiing; iirc the original poster mentioned having kids. Once the Lifts close at 3:30-4, the place clears out and there isnt much to other than the skating rink. Up thread others commented that the Canyons had more to do, is newer etc..but at the base specifically of Park City, we have found it much better to stay closer to the main st for shopping , walking around, sight seeing, there is a big open Park near the library etc... we've been the last 6 years to Park City/DV before heading to Breck this year, plus it is extremely loud at the base, constant trucks in and out all night. First year we went, we stayed across the street from the main parking lot and it was very loud all night. The Marriott Mountainside looks nice, but overall IMO, there are better lodging options than the base of PC.

    Yeah but as I recall, he knew Joan always had a bit of an inferiority complex and he knew she would always view herself (albeit rich) as a whore if the deal went through. And didn’t she get partnership out of it? It’s been years.
  16. There really isn’t much to do at PC Base apres ski. Food and dining options are limited, we Stayed there once about 6 years ago with our 3 kids so we had to drive places. Subsequent visits to PC, we stayed at a condo called Park Station, it’s at the bottom of main st/park ave. Easy Walk to main st, close enough to walk to Town Lift and a very short car ride to PC base. We prefer not to drive and staying closer to the main dining/shopping was nice. Don’t have as much experience with Canyons lodging options/things to do , but looks congested. We did end ou day at canyons one day and the free bus system dropped us at our condo near main st
  17. Deion entering the College game as Saban exits is the perfect metaphor for the current state of College Football. The ethos of those two coaches could not be more different.....ethos being defined as the character, sentiment or moral nature of something. Just a perfect description of the new college football climate vs the old. Transfers, tampering, mass roster turnover, NIL, 7/8 year guys playing in to their mid 20's... when was the last time any player was academically ineligible? Saban was the old way and now Deion epitomizes the new way.
  18. That's it, that was the bit. First time I heard that I thought he was spot on. So funny.
  19. I saw a comedian do a bit on this. Its been years now, but the premise is what you describe here. He had a Seinfeld-like delivery Paraphrasiing: 'you know , in my next life, Im returning as a gay man. Think about, all i ever want is sex anyhow...how bad could it be, i get to have to sex, leave immediately, nobody gets mad. Spend my time in the gym, sit around in cafes in a bright, tight muscle shirt, no one thinks twice, they just say he must be gay. I hang out with guys anyway, watch sports all day, in and out of partners, those gay guys are on to something'.
  20. Any chance of flipping Jamaree Caldwell? IIRC he's the UH DT that is in the portal and committed to the Ducks.
  21. Love it, yeah your group is one of last of the old guard imo. Those guys from early-mid 80's were such a great group, had to be an unbelievable time in ATX back then.
  22. Catch Thursday and Aquolina (sp) for Friday; Saturday night we got a chef coming to cook after either later lunch drinks at cloud 9 or some apres ski concert, probably hang at the mountain a little later Saturday. Looking forward to it, 10 old Horns from ‘92 getting together, about half from Dallas, half from Houston and half from out of state. Going to be some tall tales told, some that haven’t seen the light of day since fall ‘88
