  1. Not necessarily but you're going to make some carriers' heads explode. Who is your primary home Insured by?
  2. I don't get it. And the announcers just dismissed it away. VAR did too, apparently. His arms were at "his side"? Um, sure looked like he made himself "larger." But I don't know the rule any longer, I guess.
  3. Billie Eilish rendition of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” was pretty good
  4. Dumbest people alive https://www.instagram.com/reel/C04SiVFOc-Q/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
  5. Shit, either having sense knocked into him or put in the grave is an improvement over the current situation.
  6. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2023/12/politics/missing-russia-intelligence-trump-dg/
  7. Was just coming here to post this.
  8. And I bought tickets to Jenny Lewis anyways. Love her so hard.
  9. The actual video of this that Seth Meyers uses from time to time will never get old.
  10. Go figure -- more lies on top of lies on top of lies. Somewhere in his "go fuck yourself" interview he was asked about the monkeys who died during Neuralink trials. Musk said the monkeys they did these experiments on -- and later died -- died due to having terminal diseases such as cancer and whatever else. They didn't die because of the Neuralink. Well, it appears that might not necessarily be the case. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-neuralink-dealbook-comments-sec/ I would fucking love for Elon to be the first human to have one of these things planted in his brain.
  11. I need to go back and revisit but I think my favorite season was the one with Mocha Joe's vs Latte Larry's (the spite store season).
  12. He seemed like a decent enough guy at one point. His body and brain have been fried by years and years of addiction. I'm not sure he's ever had a firearm in his hands because the cops apparently told his wife that he apparently had no real clue as to how to handle the pistol he'd just bought. Update to this story -- he was transferred from Parkland to a different mental health facility in Plano. A judge has issued an order that he remain there for at least a week, perhaps longer.
  13. Wife and I just pulled the trigger on VIP tickets for this. We're headed to SLC. Never been before. Haven't seen Social D in years but not sure I can fight through Bad Religion to make this one. Would love to see her in Dallas but South Side is such a shitty room.
  14. Sure, from a liability perspective, which is potentially the most devastating part. You know how much your vehicle costs. That's the most you can "lose" on the property side. The casualty side, the liability, is the unknown. Seven- or eight-figure judgements are not unheard of, especially these days. They're rare but they can happen even IF you do everything right because shit happens all the fucking time.
  15. My understanding is that the increasing number of cat events in the last 10 years have destroyed the re-insurance market. Unfortunately, with global warming it doesn't appear that things are going back to "normal" any time soon. We've also allowed developments to overbuild in areas that Mother Nature probably never intended us to build things. Why do you say that exactly? Insurance is simply hedging your bet on having a catastrophe destroy our biggest assets, whether it's a fire or hurricane or tornado or a party guest drowning in your swimming pool. Having the proper insurance can be lifestyle (life)-saving. Are there bad actors? Of course there are -- you're going to find that in everything.
  16. Yeah, I’m working on figuring out the reasoning behind that kind of hike.
  17. I don’t do pecan pie. Not a fan. But I think Sammy’s BBQ’s is pretty good. I know their Apple pie is one of the best I’ve ever had.
  18. Go figure. Their significant others are such shitty humans, they’ve got to find others to fulfill them sexually.
  19. T'Boo pretty much covered this above. Many carriers already have depreciating roof settlement schedules in their policies. Others will be adding them. Hell, even some of the HNW carriers are doing this for roofs that are 20+ years old. Also, you're going to start seeing 2% wind/hail deductibles be the norm. Basically, insurance companies are phasing out the idea that insurance is going to pay for a new roof for every Texas home roughly every 10 years. That model is going away.
