  1. Had a discussion a couple of days ago with my brother - he follows this way more than me, as he was a HS girls coach, and we both agreed that Iowa, while not trying to lose to Nebraska on Sunday, tried not to have Clark score the points in the Sunday game but rather when they were playing a home game.
  2. fify & for the surlyites
  3. you forgot to include the global implementation of said legislative restrictions; and the ability to enforce those who do not follow the rules. And a manual backdoor to pull the plug and inactivate AI from spreading. When do we thing the real life August 29, 1997 will take place?
  4. Had a notice pop up and it says season 2 to be released this fall. I hope it is with the 2 year wait
  5. Scottie -3 after 2 holes, so what is that a 45 alert? I'm going to back of and start the 54 alert !!! Jinxing Jinxer Justifiably Jinxes
  6. my quick math is that 22.5 hours is about 1 light day, so yeah just under 1/365 of a light year. So 1 light day, is about 50 years at max sustainable human speed (historically speaking) Sadly, Starman is in orbit and was not on an escape trajectory
  7. honey? - sounds like something a serial cereal killer would do
  8. lol - take my $9.95, I want to subscribe to your newsletter
  9. never look back dude, never look back
  10. I thought you always want to play defense first, then you know what you have to do the win or to tie. If KC had the ball first, and they score then Shanahan doesn't kick the shorty FG in OT; and KC doesn't know that they have 4 downs every series to get the first because it is score of go home. But then what would I know - growing up as a Lions fan, and then becoming an Oilers fan (fuck Bud Adams) after college.
  11. RIP Carl for the win - well done 👍
  12. or Phuc
  13. My only comment is I would be a little concerned working with someone related to the bolded comment. Do you know how this investment would have performed if the indexes did not go up, is it a leveraged investment, do you know how much commission she gets from these complicated structured investments. Don't be lulled to sleep because it worked this time. As the famous money manager Ron Burgundy said - 60% of the time it works every time.
  14. OP - how about an update, there are lots of recommendations here, some better than others. I didn't read them all, but I have a question - how much are you contributing to your 401k, can you reduce it (temporarily) to only getting the maximum match amount (always max out the max - nothing beats "free" money). Pay down the debt, then take the payments (plus what you were in debt) and increase you 401k contribution to the max allowed. Also, if you can qualify for a 0% balance transfer to another card, I would do that at the same time - it will cost you about 4% of the transfer balance, which isn't great but beats paying almost 30% interest. But you have to find a solution that works for you, that you can manage financially, emotionally, and with support and agreement with your spouse. I think there is value in Dave Ramsey, and the living a less expensive life and being debt free; but if you are reasonably good at maintaining your finance why not keep cheap debt and let your money earn for you. Right now I have 3 outstanding debts, home loan 3.75%, car loan 4.15% and a nominal balance on a 0% CC - I could pay them all off from my emergency cash account but that is earning 5.2%, so why lose money on the paying off cheap debt. This debt will all be paid off before I retire, and it isn't affecting my life style. Good luck with your journey Poko
  15. nailed it Potgieter shoots a 59 today, same course, and he did it with a bogey. Cole goes 62-67 to get to T5
  16. This ride up sure is fun - but remember the ride hasn't ended. Please keep your hands and feet fully inside the car. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
  17. I don't know, I knew a guy (let's call him George) in the early 90's, worked as a consultant for an Environmental consulting firm I was at for about a year. He was hard to reach, cell phones weren't really out and no home phone at his apartment, he said he was Army Ranger who had served in Nam (red flag....just wait), son was a Navy Seal, George would stop in the office a couple of times a week to see if we needed him for any work, sometimes we did, sometimes not. But he did have a pager, so we asked him if we could page him when we had work for him. His answer was that it really wasn't his pager, after some badgering he said it was a DoD pager. A few months later George told us he wasn't available to work for a few months, that he had been called up to go back into the military. I saw him for the last time about mid-1991, he was just back from Desert Storm and his story was that he was part of an insertion team that went into Iraq (he wouldn't say where) and that their job was to laser paint targets for the bombs/missile that were coming in. I have not idea what ever became of George, but he'd have to be about 80+ by now, it could all been a hoax, but I believed him. Very interesting guy, very rough around the edges, but seemed like straight shooter if you were straight with him.
  18. Holey Shit - I just realized that this is gonna end up just like TxTow posting shit about rock throwers. Nicole - thanks for the updates, and we look forward to your trial
  19. Yup - today Aldrich Potgieter, playing the putt & chip course put up a 28 on the front side but only has 2 birdies and a bogey on the back so he needs to step it up to shoot a 59 or 60. and Cooper Dossey put in a 29, Someone is going 60 or under today, Update - Cole Hammer T4 at -12, 3 holes to play
  20. Only SPY matters - because you can't buy a share in the S&P 500 btw SPY is currently $499.64
  21. beat me to it Also OP needs to post in a quote so the long-cat post isn't taking up the whole page - but awesome story
  22. Here is one of my missed opportunity stories - I first heard of Berkshire Hathaway in 1986 (it was trading about $2,600/share), by 1989 I had a little money (maybe $20-25k) and BRK had risen to over $4,000/share. I thought that was crazy for a company that didn't pay a dividend, held a small(ish) group of investment is dissimilar companies but had well written public documents (annual reports, proxy, etc). But I didn't by a share or two - alas each share of BRK.A is worth about $600,000 today. Ah yes the one that got away....I feel like I'm telling fishing story
  23. Just play the game We are all sick of the hype, analysis, Swift, Purdy v. Mahomes, halftime show, etc . Play the fucking game and sadly let football end for the season (sorry Rock)
