  1. Thank you all, I appreciate the kind words. The bond we make with these wacky dogs is incredible.
  2. Had to say goodbye to one of my best friends of the last 14 years today. Her name was Avery. At 8 weeks old she was left tied up in front of my future father in law's vet clinic. Freshly out of college and trying to figure out wtf our life would be, my then girlfriend and I decided she could stay with us until claimed (because of course someone couldn't have abandoned this incredible but insane little puppy?). She was still there for us a year later when we returned home from our wedding and honeymoon. She was still there for us another year later when we moved cities for law school. She was still there for us three years later when we packed up what little we owned and moved across the country to New York City. She was still there for us six years later while we quarantined in our Manhattan apartment during the early weeks of the pandemic. She was still there for us the next two very trying years while we tried and failed to start a family. And she was still there for us last year when we brought our son home from the hospital. She was a good dog, and she was loved.
  3. Along with the people who use the seat in front of them to pull their fat ass self out of their own seat
  4. 1. You have any receipts on the “millionaire” claim (as if that is even remotely determinative)? 2. You are arguing against yourself. Zero (0) people claimed Swift is a rags to riches story. But the total number of affluent white girls who have swung and missed in the music industry would exceed the grand weight total of the nasty ass women who allow you into their bed. I realize being a pair of fucking imbeciles is a long-running shtick for you and Helobious, but you could try a little harder.
  5. Also that having a dad who is a fucking Merryl Lynch stock broker is some kind of golden ticket. Just hysterical levels of stupidity across all topics.
  6. It seems like there is a healthy and reasonable debate about whether it was or was not the right choice, particularly given the sudden death third possession. Math/simulations discussed at the below link. But logic certainly dictates that you don’t want to give Mahomes the ball with the advantage of knowing what he needs to do. https://x.com/SethWalder/status/1757034362380362013?s=20
  7. I asked this question awhile back; someone recommended Paige, and they’ve worked great.
  8. This guy truly delivers, no matter the topic. It’s an impressive skill.
  9. Shit, I forgot about Force Majeure and Silence. Great movies

  11. It's real to me And I think the last time I looked it up, he said he didn't remember it being so harsh but that his wife did, or something like that.
  12. For those who need to know
  13. Curry with 60 last night in a losing effort, on 58/43/100 splits. Only 6 free throws. The Warriors stink, but that dude is something else.
  14. Pack your Yeti gear, wear your Oakleys, and leave the Budweiser product at home, and you should be fine.
  15. My top ten for 2023 was: 1. KOTFM 2. Past Lives 3. The Zone of Interest 4. Oppenheimer 5. Anatomy of a Fall 6. Passages 7. The Killer 8. When Evil Lurks* 9. May December 10. A Fire Of the remaining Best Pic noms, my order would probably be Poor Things, Maestro, Barbie, and The Holdovers. Have not seen American Fiction yet. *As an aside, what a mediocre year for horror, as I usually have more than 1 in my top 10. Talk to Me, No One Will Save You and Skinamarink were in my Top 30, and Sick, Huersa, Birth/Rebirth, Perpetrator and Cobweb were all ok. Scream was fine. I thought Evil Dead Rise sucked, but maybe I'm just tired of the plot.
  16. One thing is for sure, this case is going to make a shit ton of money for law firms (thanks!), because this ruling is red fucking meat for the plaintiff’s bar.
  17. I only know what the opinion said (one example is below, which is projection-related (not accounting related)).
  18. You've said this a few times, but it isn't really true (or at least not entirely true). Certainly the shareholders thought this to be the case, because that is what they were told in the proxy. And I'm just guessing the street thought so as well, although I certainly haven't kept up with that. But, management's own internal projections showed multiple of the milestones being achieved (which they were, on time), and from an accounting perspective the Board determined several of the milestones to be in the 70% band of probability. All of that aside - and regardless of the "right" outcome - this case really came down to the entire fairness standard of judicial review (which to me (an M&A lawyer, not a litigator), seems to have been correctly applied). Once you are in that realm, it's tough to win, particularly with the bad facts Elon and the Board created.
  19. I need to start a stand alone thread, but finally got around to Zone of Interest last night. Fucking intense
  20. Whoo boy, whoever this Steve Sarkisian guy is better not bring that line of thinking into the Surly recruiting forum. We were told not to question Bo Davis and his recruiting results.
  21. He was worse outside of the courtroom in the grand meeting scene. He and Leo were in different movies.
