  1. So frustrating when one half of the team (offense) lets down the other half (offense) you want to see then win or lose as a unit
  2. Cant believe texas never learned to not recruit placekickers with big hair
  3. Well, atleast we got the batted ball out of the way
  4. I wanted to get a set of Dominos to play with the relatives and the local Target-style store only had these and oh my god it is some cheap shit i mean not only is it a hollow lightweight throwaway, the fucking backside has different numbers from the injection molding or whatever so you can literally just memorize what dominos other players have from looking at rhe back
  5. she hot tho?
  6. The 1 thing I don't understand about the Apple world is it's supposed to be a creative-centric system, yet there's no simple paint app. Microsoft has MS Paint, and then there's a KILLER 3rd party freeware called Paint.NET, and there's a free web-based service called Photopea that's an eerily good replica of Photoshop. But on Apple...nothing. I tried getting a popular software called Pixelmator and that thing never fucking worked.
  7. continuation of my gripe with Outlook: in the old monthly calendar, you could click on a date, and drag out the timeline for the calendar event. like if you were creating a 2-week long vacation entry. now you must click on a single date and fill in the time manually. in-fucking-furiating.
  8. Times are tough in professional sports
  9. One of the Collison brothers of Stripe, which processes about 1/5th of all online transactions using old-money, made a good analogy after visiting Vegas for a business conference. He said on the veneer, people look at Las Vegas and they see mindless gambling and overstuffed buffets. Beneath the surface, there's a tremendous amount of real-life, consequential business being conducted. (Vegas is often the #1 convention destination in the world). And this is pure coincidence, but literally today I'm having to diagnose a big cross border payment that's 2 weeks overdue, because it involves 3-4 banks.
  10. I think this guy would have received much more public sympathy if he was a convicted felon, pedophile, and in the midst of swinging a skateboard at someone during a riot.
  11. i have to say these videos are false advertising. i knew my ears were clean, but watching those videos made me think there may still be goop in there. i q-tip religiously despite the popular notion that it just 'pushes wax deeper in'. so i went for a deep ear cleaning on vacation this year and all they pulled out were a few small flakes of white wax and stray hair. it was pleasantly ticklish though.
  12. Its the other guy, who thinks gelsinger is an MBA because anything bad that happens is because of business or public markets.
  13. i discovered theres such a thing as a whistling arrowhead and now i want to shoot peopl ..err.. things with it
  14. Another knee-jerk anti-capitalism screed turns out to be just shooting from the hips. Many such examples.
  15. The abstracted bottom line is theres a bigger demand out there for mortgage loans than just from the mortgage lenders, which creates competitive pressure resulting in lower rates for borrowers. Because conversely if nobody wanted to take the risk of holding real estate debt, nobody would want to give you a mortgage.
  16. 1. Some investors want the investment return of a mortgage, but aren't structured or licensed to originate loans. So the loans become packaged in commoditized product and sold around to these people who are pension funds and endowments and insurance companies etc. (See Mortgage Backed Securities or Collateralized Mortgage Obligation). Also different financial institutions are always looking to balance their risk profile or liquidity level, so this is just 1 type of debt asset they hold vs treasuries, junk bonds, corporate bonds, etc. 2. It's a financial product, so it gets packaged into whichever way the market demands it. Sometimes they mixed riskier debt with safer ones to reach an target risk profile. Often now they package like-debt together, because people seek it. Like people want a basket of mortgages from a certain geography because they have a mandate for that exposure, or that location has lower interest rate sensitivity due to local laws or whatever. Can I get a beer too?
  17. Im surprised neither of them ascribed it to climate change
  18. It’s somewhat of a dream of mine to be a public hero by fighting off terrorists with a tusk of a Narwal
  19. They actually copied the Rolls design As a concept, it actually looks really really good. But also, as a concept, basically only 5% of that aesthetic is actually ever going to carry over in production
  20. POTUS #9 William Henry Harrison had the worst opening to an inauguration speech in history Which is probably why he died 31 days into the presidency
  21. Actually i changed my mind. You should tell the IRS your cost basis was $300k/btc so you can claim a capital loss deduction.
