  1. In late '24, early '25, my BIL's advisor suggested moving out of stocks, bonds and mortgages and invest it elsewhere. He liquidated all his stock, bonds, paid off the houses and went all in on gold and silver. I don't know my BIL's net worth or even what he does, but I'm guessing easily over $10M.
  2. I'm stopped watering down my whiskies. Straight up room temperature, neat, poured from the bottle next to my desk at home (and sometimes at the office).
  3. Statement from Strava: "We are aware of an employee who exhibited extremely concerning off-hours behavior. We don't condone violence of any kind and this does not reflect the standards we expect of our team. This past Monday, we made the decision to end the individual's employment." Gold comments from Reddit: @GhostOfTomJoad What do you think?
  4. Finished the Widow Jane, now onto Abelour 12. It’s not as syrupy sweet as I remembered.
  5. This is cool though
  6. Ever consider that he might be the asshole?
  7. Sitting down at my home office desk with 2 fingers of Widow Jane 10. Trying to get everything done before I go on vacation next week. What is up with all these proposals due right before Christmas and right after the new year? Nobody's gonna read them anyway so why are we busting out asses?
  8. I don't see the "willing to blow your husband at least once a week" on the Merit side of the ledger.
  9. I'd have to disagree with that. I have a cheap ass Chevy Traverse with 3 climate zones and automatic seat warmer that turns on when it gets below 50° outside. I'm not trading my creature comfort for something out of a 2002 Nissan Altima.
  10. Footage of a Waffle House job interview process.
  11. Red Breast 12 YO. Neat. Need another distraction from prepping for a meeting tomorrow. Surly, a movie on my iPad and a nice whiskey. I'm never gonna get this meeting agenda done.
  12. Wife on a school night - watching Stranger Things with the kids until 10PM. Wife on the weekend - telling the kids no more screen time after 8:30, in bed by 9:30. Also, after the kids are in bed, she brings her computer into my daughter's room to ask if she wants something on Amazon. My stance for a while was "you have to ask mommy". From now on, I'll be the one controlling the TV remote and setting the bed times.
  13. FIFY
  14. Something something South Austin's mom.
  15. My old coworker used to call saag paneer baby shit. Because it looks like baby shit, and it would be indistinguishable coming out of your butt as well.
  16. Need back story. Lots of chatter about Nicole killing people. Feel left out on the open secret. Also, the Firefly Firebird is down to $199. Tempted, but I don't need another guitar. https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/fffb/products/new-firefly-ffdb-electric-guitar-sunburst-color-1
  17. Stroked out or choked out?
  18. My 10 YO boy is slim but is SOLID muscle. I’m 51 YO and don’t remember the last time I worked out. So anyway, he’s being doing BJJ the past 1+ year. I watch him at the gym so now I think I know king fu. We wrestled in the living room yesterday, and that boy is freakin’ strong. As he got me in side control, he whispered in my ear “dad, you need to start working out because I’ll dominate you once I get to 90 pounds” (he’s only 80 now)
  19. WTF is wrong with US boomers? Fisting? Bisexual male? Pains me to say this, but I identify more with boomers on this one.
  20. I don't understand the digital ads where it's the entire grocery store deals of the week paper. Who actually looks at those?
  21. He posts on surly, so probably more for this
  22. Buy better hangers. I’ve switched to wood hangers. IKEA sells them and they aren’t that expensive. Also. Don’t hang empty hangers next to each other. Move one of the empty ones to the end of the closet rod. Problem solved.
