    am i crazy or are the elementary kids trying to trick or treat earlier now?  we generally shut down our block as we get a large influx of traveling trick or treaters (cars tying to drive down the street with tons of kiddos is no bueno) but they blocked it off at 4pm and the bulk of the kids on the block came around at 4:30pm.  At least let the sun think about setting ffs.  

    In my hood: Toddlers and younger elementary kids go early before or at dusk-- older elementary and middle school go in dark and go hard until 9:30-10pm. High school kids are non-existent.

    Still a better outcome than Oz.  

    The obvious question if you are a handler and/or strategist— why not substitute an able-minded Democrat and make the stroke concerns, whether valid or scare tactics, moot?

    While it is not clear who or what is to blame, the fact that so many disordered people can influence the culture is cause for concern.

    It's true.

  4. With the advent of Slack (or Teams, if you are a heathen), I have noticed emails are more specific, serious, and formal. With that being the case, it's way easier to be a Zero-Inbox guy as well as using email for important/CYA/documented communication purposes which is also why there is a 24 hour SLA on a reply. Maybe 48 hours if you are 2 pay-grade levels or above me. Otherwise, you had better be responsive or else.

    Edit to add: If your company doesn't use a messaging solution and still only has emails for all communications, your job sucks and is backwards and the technology, usage, and culture has matured enough to where you own the blame for still working for the backwards company.

    read a story this morning where Adidas' statement lead most to believe that they own ALL of the Kanye designs. Kanye cannot take them to another shoe manufacturer. It does sound like he owns the rights to the Ye trademark but not much else.

    In a sense, he was an Adidas employee (highly compensated) and he was just kicked the curb.

    I heard this as well and that Adidas was going to move forward with selling the produced merchandise that was designed and made, just without the Kanye logo(s).

    Now, whether anyone wants to buy them for intrinsic value, e.g. without the Yeezy label, will be a fabulously interesting case study and one I'm looking forward to. I'm curious how inelasticity works in terms of celebrity/logo names, etc. especially with the legacy fashion houses, but this will work.

  6. Y’all counting Kanye out but he will be back better than ever. It’s the Hollywood way. It might take a decade or two, but he will be back on top, just you wait.

    Hopefully he gets the help he needs to facilitate his comeback though because he clearly is in need of professional help.

    I'm 55 and I think tik tok is awesome. Tons of hysterical and informative content. Plus girls shaking their tits. Privacy? Get fucked; nobody cares. I could have everyone of your ss numbers in 15 minutes if I gave a shit. There is no more Privacy. Calm yourselves republican and libertarian squares.

    Yea I'm old and think TikTok is hilarious. That said, I only see reposted tiktok videos because I'll never download that chinese spyware, nor will anyone in my family.

    We had them installed last month.  We love them.  House is orange/white on Saturdays and blue/white on Sundays.  On weekdays we've had Halloween colors up this month.  The sales guy made a mistake on the pricing but they honored the quote he gave, so ours came out to about $24/lf.  Apparently the peaks on our roof are close to 40', because they could barely reach them with their 32' ladder.  No way in hell I'd hang lights up there so the cost is worth it.

    I got a quote for $8k. Seems high.

    A thread for all those purchases you've made that were game-changers and you can't imagine life without them.

    I'll start with TSA Precheck. I fly 4-5 times a year and it's the best $85 I've ever spent.

    What do you got?

    I like the precheck because I don't have to take my boots off or my belt, but the last dozen times or so I've flown, the wait and line was actually longer in the pre-check than the general boarding which sucks.

  10. Pretty good ending; still team Green because I like Aemond the best. Interesting to watch him cross that inflection point from boy to man and it not really be his intention or choice. I do have a sneaking suspicion that he’s not going to be man enough for the obvious, and eventual main event card “Aem vs Daem” but I’m hoping youth will prevail. Everytime I get over my latest grievance of Dameon he does something like choke his wife that makes me remember why he is a horrible person through and through. 
     

    For me, this show is Westworld for me in that there was not enough firepower or splash or sizzle to keep me interested or caring for the next 24 months or however long it takes to shoot and air S2, so I’m sure I’ll quickly forget the plot line and have to watch a recap before watching season 2 out of convenience and mild curiosity when there is nothing better on….like I watched Westworld s4.
