  1. Why did you post that gif when this one was out there.
  2. Damn. Lots of great robots, androids and humanoids. If I had to pick my top 3 K2SO Bender TARS / CASE / KIPP Only reason Twiki should be on any list is because he gets to smell Erin Gray's farts.
  3. I Robot took the name of the book and threw away everything else. The original Running Man took the general premise, but the "games" completely missed the mark. The Hunt for Red October followed the book pretty well. I thought the movie was better than the book. The Shawshank Redemption followed the book until towards the end. I don't think Red ever made it out of Shawshank. I only got through 1.5 books of Foundation, but I don't recall there any reference to Brother Dawn, Day, Dusk. Those books were a beating.
  4. In case Sainz ever loses his seat, at least he's got a side gig being a hair model.
  5. We got a robot vacuum/mop during Black Friday week. It's a MASSIVE upgrade in terms of me not having to vacuum and using a vacuum wet mop. This thing also has cameras and sensors, so it's actually navigating between chair legs instead of randomly bumping around and getting stuck under the dining table. I have it programmed to clean the entire downstairs 2x a week, and mopping the kitchen another 2 days during the week.
  6. We had our office party last Friday. The office manager asked me how much booze to get for 65 adults. I figured 2.5 drinks per person, so 12 bottles of wine and maybe 6 cases of beer/seltzers. She ended up getting 18 bottles of wine, 10 cases of beer and a few bottles of whisky. There were only about 25 people... So unfortunately I'll have to take a case or 2 home with me. Merry Christmas.
  7. My sister took my dad to Lawry's for his 85th birthday. I asked him how he liked it, and he said the prime rib wasn't good, and would have preferred a nice prime rib steak instead. Can't say I disagree with him. Ribeye steak > prime rib.
  8. Yes, that's for fixing it. It's been 30+ years since my last physics class. Been teaching my kid about inertia, friction and rotational velocity. Probably getting it all wrong, but at least I'm keeping him away from a screen 1 stupid lesson at a time.
  9. Yeah, but can he play a F chord? https://www.facebook.com/reel/1691943951690195
  10. Can you milk me Focker?
  11. Can you milk it?
  12. and call it cable TV.
  13. I don't carry it with me, but it's taking a lot of space in my deposit box and in between the studs. I want that space for a gun and ammo.
  14. YouTube music thought I might like Softcult (Canadian shoegazer band), and they are correct. They're coming to LA in February and will go see them if I can find anyone that likes this music.
  15. Closer to 70:1 today. My average purchase price ratio was 55:1. I hear you about not swapping until the ratio drops even more, but the thought of carrying just 3 oz of gold instead of lugging around 240 oz of silver (that I don't intend to keep in the long run*) sounds wonderful. * Keeping my maples, libertads, Fijis and a bag of Franklins.
  16. META popped 5% overnight when they announced they are getting rid of the Metaverse. Some friends are holding onto TSLA because they think Optimus (robot) will be a game changer.
  17. Pain Lies on the Riverside - *LIVE* (Mental Jewelry) Tiny Dancer - Elton John (Madman Across the Water) Take On Me - A-Ha (Hunting High and Low) In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins (Face Value) Invisible Touch - Genesis (Invisible Touch)
  18. I've held onto AAPL, GOOG, AMZN since 2013 and they have not disappointed. At this point, I'm still bullish on AMZN because of AWS which will continue to grow. Plus they are dabbling into healthcare. I consider their existing marketplace like a WMT and not an area of continued growth. AI is not going away so I'm staying put on my small positions on NVDA and TSMC. Good points on META. I'll liquidate my 45 shares and dump it into some AI company or fund.
  19. I get the Korean dictator 18 hole-in-ones vibe from Doomlet.
  20. https://www.on3.com/news/ranking-strength-of-schedule-for-penultimate-college-football-playoff-top-25-from-weakest-to-strongest-2/ Strength of schedule for top #16 teams in CFP rankings. #15 Utah: 57 #14 Vanderbilt: 22 #13 Texas: 8 #12 Miami: 44 (10-2, lost to Lousville and SMU) #11 BYU: 35 (11-1, lost to Texas Tech) #10 ND: 42 (10-2, lost to Miami and A&M) #9 Alabama: 11 #8 Dirt Burglers: 12 #7 Sheep Aggy: 15 #6 Klan Aggy: 40 #5 Ducks: 16 #4 Sand Aggy: 59 #3 Gawgia: 25 #2 Indiana: 45 #1 Ohio State: 46 So Texas had the highest SOS of the bunch. We have a legitimate grip that we're behind Notre Dame and Miami.
  21. 11, 2, 7, 13, x, 1, 6, 8, 10, 15 12, 3, 4, 9, 14, 5
  22. My wife will empty a bottle of lotion, use the last bit of toothpaste. Because those pennies saved can go towards a pair of Kate Spade shoes.
  23. Drinking left over beer in the office fridge because we need to make room for new beer that's been brought in for our holiday party. It's 4:53 and I'm already 2 bottles in.
  24. Obviously they have not smelled my son's farts. He is truly nasty. OTOH, I don't recall the last time I heard my daughter farted.
