  1. Ridiculous call on Miro for game misconduct. These refs are an embarrassment.
  2. Might be the softest goal he’s let in this year.

    Chinatown

    Chinatown came out the same year as The Godfather II so I don't fault it for "only" winning one Academy Award. Chinatown is a phenomenally good movie. I use some variation of "Forget it, Jake -- it's Chinatown" line all the time.
  4. Another whistleblower shining a light on the 777 and 787 models. Wonder if this one "offs" himself before he gets to testify. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/09/business/boeing-787-whistleblower/index.html
  5. The missus and I are headed down to the game tonight. We got some lower bowl seats at a nice little price. I haven't been down there without parking in quite some time. Anybody have best tips on parking? Not looking for free but also don't want to spend $100 to park in the Lexus Garage or whatever is right next to AAC.
  6. Good luck! Downtown still seems pretty sleepy to me but I'm only down there one or two days per week these days.
  7. Not sure. I'll make a mental note to ask him next time I see him.
  8. Umbrella isn't normally something there's an issue with unless the insured is especially risky due to notoriety, etc. What carrier do you have for home and auto? $3400 for $3M seems excessive -- do you have a lot of underlying exposures (youthful drivers, boats, jet skis, large auto schedule)? I don't quite understand what you mean by only two carriers writing umbrellas in Florida now. All our carriers would have umbrella policy offerings.
  9. Good friend is an ER doctor. He was telling us a story the other day of a female patient he saw who was taking Ozempic and hadn't shit in six weeks by the time she got to him. She's dead now.
  10. Golden Corral in either Abilene or Midland, can't remember which West Texas town I was in to cover a HS basketball/volleyball regional tournament, was perhaps the worst 'culinary' experience of my life. Drunk-ass photog who was out there with me suggested it.
  11. We watched the first episode of the Synanon documentary last night and it was kind of boring. Made by one of RFK's kids. I've never heard of Synanon before this documentary. Some online reviews said it takes way too long to get to the crazy stuff so I'm not sure I'm going to bother with the last three episodes.
  12. I love The Prestige. Want to turn me into a blubbering mess on the couch? Cue/queue up the last 20 minutes of Interstellar. Great movie.
  13. Absolutely. Win the division to avoid the COL or WIN matchup in R1, win the conference to start a conference finals at home and added bonus of G7 if it goes that far. Definitely want to finish with as many points as you can so you have home-ice against more Eastern teams if you make it to the Cup Finals.
  14. Would you say that Trump's DJT profits have been ... ... eclipsed?
  15. Goddamn that "nothingburger" was fucking spectacular. We are right by Love Field and had a great view of totality for about a minute and then the sun/moon went behind the clouds, became halfway visible soon after (led to some cool visual effects) and then we caught the last minute or so unobstructed. I'd go see that again in a heartbeat.
  16. Yeah, just looked at that. No way for us to pass them in RW without getting the required four points that clinch no matter what anyways so four points is indeed the magic number to clinch the division. The Stars need any combination of four points in the last four games (VAN has five) and we clinch the Central and the West. The magic number to clinch first in West is six. The President's Cup Trophy would be gravy.
  17. At a doc appt at Presby Dallas and seeing a little blue in the skies! C’mon, baby!
  18. The one from last October isn’t remotely close to what this one is supposed to be like. I can’t speak to 2017 since we weren’t in the path of totality but my parents went to Tennessee for it and they said it was pretty amazing. There are people who chase things all over the world. Pretty sure it’s not a “nothingburger.” I just hope the clouds cooperate.
  19. Head-to-head doesn't enter the picture until the fifth tie-breaker. https://www.nhl.com/info/standings-info/tie-breaking-procedure
  20. That's what I came up with as well but might actually be three depending on how the tiebreakers shake out. I think the first tie-break is regulation wins and I'm too lazy to look that up right now.
