  1. 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.
  2. Contractors and architects have a love-hate relationship. In this case, I hope the architect drops dead. And the contractor that is building the damn thing? I hope we are banned from working on anything Federal for the next 20 years until the stench goes away.
  3. Boring buy and hold investor here. I bought the stocks for the kids earlier this year. 1 share each of AAPL, NVDA, AMZN, MSFT. BRK.B, VOO, WMT. VOO is up 13.6% since June. AAPL is up 44.4%. This stock market is nuts, but I'm enjoying the ride while it lasts.
  4. We fly on China Airlines (actually a Taiwanese carrier) and EVA Air. Flight are just as cramped, but the flight crew in the bourgeois cabins were professional and probably 7s at a minimum.
  5. www.Amazon.co.jp
  6. … and there’s probably a vending machine in Japan selling pajamas previously worn by a teenage girl. The ones with piss and cum cost extra.
  7. We had my wife's family over for dinner on T+1 (my side of the family comes on Thursday). I forgot her uncle and aunt both went to A&M for grad school so they were rooting for Aggy. Being 70+ YO Taiwanese immigrants, they didn't care too much about the game, but just stared at me when I proposed a toast after the 'horns won.
  8. At least he has sunglasses on. That CD would put a nice gash on his face if it flew at him. There's a reason workers on construction sites wear a full face shield when using a chop saw.
  9. Past performance not indicative of future performance aside, Sainz has done pretty well at Abu Dhabi the past 4-5 years while Albon has not. I'm a big fan of Sainz and wish Ferrari had stuck with him, but he seems to be happy at Williams and James Vowles seems like a good team principle hiring good people around him. /teamawesomehair
  10. Been looking at odd shaped guitars lately. Should I throw away $260 on one of these? Firefly FFDB aka cheap Chinese Firebird knockoff https://guitarsgarden.com/collections/fffb/products/new-firefly-ffdb-electric-guitar-sunburst-color-1 There are solid color ones for $199.
  11. Anyone think Sainz will have more points than Albon at the end of the season?
  12. We have a lazy susan on our dining table (how asian of us). My son spun it real quick and a glass container flew off shattering on the floor. He said he wanted to see what would happen if he did that. *dumbass* He already felt bad so I didn't give him any more grief. I did however take the opportunity to teach him about centrifugal forces. I may talk about about rotational velocity during dinner tonight.
  13. Nope. East coast business units that do work around DC. We on the west coast are libruls are not fond of that decision. Starting construction without a full set of documents isn’t out of the norm. On most projects we work on these days, the drawings are broken into different packages, eg foundations, site, structural, architectural, etc. But you at least need the architects to “freeze the backgrounds” so other designers can get to work. If they’re still working on the concept of the plan, then yeah, that’s really strange - and will be full of changes leading the project to miss the schedule and being over budget. On projects like these; assuming there’s stone and custom materials, you’ll want to order materials far in advance. Any delay in material releases means the schedule moves right. So yeah… we’ll probably end up with a federal building with plaster and clad with hardy board.
  14. One thing that’s missing from BF6 is hardcore mode. Also, zombies.
  15. /humblebrag Might as well have said Consuela messed up and she’s being fired after she does the dishes tonight.
  16. Sydney Sweenie has weird eyes, WNB.
  17. Superhero

    Getting old sucks

    Did a 5K Turkey Trot with my kids this morning. Not a good idea since I haven’t run in over 2 years. My cardio was fine, but my left leg and hip is sore sore sore. I used the massage gun for 30 minutes, now going to pop a few advil and sit on the couch until guests arrive.
  18. Pretty damn good.
  19. Apparently no close relationship between the two of them. Looks like Karoline's brother knocked up a Brazilian tourist. He took custody of the kid when they broke up, but the woman stayed plugged into their lives. Anyhoo... fuck ICE. https://www.wcvb.com/article/karoline-leavitt-family-connection-ice-arrest/69547219
  20. Beat me to it. It was on Amazon Prime and I must’ve watched it 3 times. Great premise, script and acting. Too bad it wasn’t marketed well and did miserably. Box office was < $20M.
  21. That video’s gonna come back to haunt him when he runs for California governor.
