  1. Wife and I just got back from seeing it. Ill echo others here in saying it was fantastic.
  2. Last night, my family went to see the Dallas Symphony orchestra and John Williams 'Night at the Movies.' For the E.T. score, apparently after Spielberg gave John the final cut of the movie so he could lay the music over it, John became frustrated because of the various changes through out the editing process and he couldnt get the music to fit with what was happening on screen. Spielberg pulled him aside and said to get the music exactly the way he wanted it and give it to him. Then Spielberg recut the movie to fit John Williams score.
  3. Home insurance premium increased exactly 75% for me this year. I am not exaggerating. This is unheard of. I have no claims on the house. Is everyone else getting the same? I am in the DFW area. @C-Man Is this what you are seeing? Am I getting fucked in the ass for Florida Louisiana and California company losses? Farmers told me insurance premiums are based on the state only, not nationally.
  4. Worst day of the year. Nothing comes close
  5. Let's see how November goes but this election unlike any other in our history will tell us who we are as a country. Its all out in the open now. Regardless of the outcome, we will get what we deserve. That much is true.
  6. We are in the process of redoing our grass. Our St Augustine just cant handle year after year of the drought and 60+ days of 100+ temps without constant watering which I refuse to do for both conservation and monetary reasons. I live in the DFW area. I want to use a seeded grass and want to water once a week. Which seeded grass can we use? What is the best way to plant it?
  7. DFW has hit 90 degrees and above 8 times in Feb since records began to be tracked. We will be hitting that 2 times in the next 2 days blowing away the record highs. Fuck this shit. 10-DAY WEATHER FORECAST TODAY 2/26 94°67° Mostly sunny and hot Mainly clear; breezy late 0% TUE 2/27 90°40° Very warm with clouds and sun Overcast, cooler; windy late 3%
  8. Yea I'm looking for the 2024 blast furnace thread because I have some problems with you people and now you're gonna hear about it. I see a high of 88 in dfw next Monday, which last time I checked was still February. I already told my wife we are xeriscaping if we have another summer like the previous 2.
  9. I always thought the best time to have life insurance was when you were making all your money. After you have made the bulk of it, you don't need it anymore. Life insurance in my eyes was always money for my family if I didn't have the time to provide it for them. Now it makes no sense for me to get it. Plus I've seen too many 48 hours mysteries to ever get more than a few 100k on a policy.
  10. My wife always makes fun of me when the Notebook comes on how we always end up watching it.
  11. For me this is indirect vs direct. People blamed the violence in video games for school shootings which may or may not be true. Sora is directly assaulting truth as we know it.
  12. Not the same at all.
  13. Imagine how happy the entire nation of North Korea is going to be winning every world cup from now on. Great times.
  14. Immamac, you are giving the human race way too much credit. We are not smart enough to live with this technology peacefully. It's not tin foil hat, it's one of the final nails in the coffin.
  15. Yea for the next few weeks you are probably right. Now say the same thing 10 months from now when version 3.0 comes out, let alone 5 years down the road. I will say I'm happy with this tech for the new video game I'm making. Cut scenes and what not.
  16. We had a significant % of the population who believed in porn rings inside a pizza hut just by reading some texts and taking it for gospel. Now they will get first hand accounts from Joe Biden on exactly that.
  17. I just looked at the recent state polls of Wisc Penn Mich Georgia and I am not encouraged at all. Inflation/cost of living is a huge Biden problem where most voters either dont care or dont want to understand inflation was due to COVID stimulus, war and other supply chain issues. As a country, we absolutely deserve everything we get if Trump is elected again. My only hope are the polls this cycle arent accounting for Swifties and young pro-choice women much like the 2016 cycle didnt account for hatred, racism and fear from a significantly larger percentage of white people than previously thought. Hoping the 18-30 year old crowd votes in greater numbers than ever before is a record Ive listened to many times and we all know how that turns out. "Heil Trump" I guess. As a white male, Ill put up the good fight in 2028 when only our votes are counted.
  18. Enjoyed the game. No meaningful football until August. Always a gut punch. Nfl draft, march madness and the Olympics to hold me over.
  19. Here we go.
  20. Game is getting good
  21. For me thats why doing something and making at least a little money per year is enticing, post retirement. A 5.5% return vs a 6% return is huge over 40 years. Same with inflation assumptions. To mitigate that risk and offset the difference, making 5k a year putting out Youtube videos for olds seems kinda cool for me. Or renting out a house for the summer, or dog sitting, or something that makes your projected retirement curve infinitely more appealing. When I do my numbers, I normally default to a 3% greater return than inflation and usually settle on 2.5% inflation and a 5.5% return on investment. Right now my curve gives me peace even with multiple adverse scenarios.
  22. Wife and I watched this a couple nights ago. We liked it. I have a new found respect for Lionel Ritchie after seeing it. Dude had quite a 24 hours that day they made it.
