  1. Just wanted to point out that the SBA is quickly working through the EIDL backlog. If you haven't gotten an email from them, expect one soon. This is for the actual EIDL loan, not the advance grant. Please pay careful attention to the terms and conditions. For example, you can't move your business without SBA approval. If the EIDL loan is $25,000 or above, the SBA even takes a security interest in your business property. You can't use the loan to expand or for fixed assets. If PPP wasn't bad enough, this is another situation where you'll almost definitely need to talk to your lawyer and maybe your accountant.
  2. And just like that, a decent episode because it involves the whole family.
  3. No one melted down when I said it wasn't top five. Picking a top five is very hard for this show because there have been so many great episodes. My top five off the top of my head are (in release order): Lawnmower Dog Rixty Minutes (the original interdimensional cable ep) The Wedding Squanchers/The Rickshank Rickdemption (it was a season-ending cliffhanger, so it should be counted as a two-parter) Ricklantis Mixup Rattlestar Ricklacktica (snake jazz)
  4. Okay, so with three episodes left in the season, we got hit with another good one. (Depending on what people count as good, this would be the second or third good episode this season, after the heist or snake eps or both.) 1. For the second time this season, we get Rick committing to a really stupid bit to fuck with Morty. Fortunately, the writers didn't hit us over the head with it throughout the entire episode like they did in the heist episode. 2. Was that the second or third extended, wordless montage this season? We had one in Rattlestar Ricklactica. Are we bumping into a rule of three limit or is this going to be a new trope they eventually overuse? 3. Top five? No way, but definitely above average even for the prior seasons. 4. The after credits scene would, on the other hand, be top five. I looked it up; he'd be 95 now. The ending quip was perfect. 5. To be fair, we continue to see Beth and Jerry lacking both screen time and the apparent character growth from last season.
  5. John Ringo's book The Last Centurion from 2006 is eerily similar in some ways. We have Trump instead of Clinton as president, this pandemic is nowhere near as bad as the one in book, and no major global cooling event yet, but the similarities are there. The economic collapse and the growing rebellion against the demands of the government?
  6. You can take the basic accounting courses online through most JuCos. You have a nominal degree or certificate program, but you just take whatever (as long as you have the prereqs) and no one cares. The only problem with this route is that you may be forced to take financial one semester and then managerial the next. Then you can take fun classes like financial statement analysis. Or you may be lucky and get a place with a combined intro to accounting course.
  7. Patterson brought in his best friend, Jerry Kill, to take over the offense. I doubt he’ll have much to do with Evans.
  8. Same here, Derka. A Jerry/American Beauty ep would have sounded amazing a couple of years ago. Now I wonder how they'd get it to fall flat.
  9. Meh. That was pretty bad. They've certainly lost their edge.
  10. First ep back was good.
  11. I’ve started keeping a temperature log using my iPhone. I’ve switched to an oral thermometer that is more precise than than the forehead one I was using. Haven’t felt feverish in over a week and my temperature swings haven’t been as drastic. I’ll try to work my insurance to see if I can get an antibody test.
  12. Maybe. But maybe she was thinking no one would guess that she’d still use that or even her ex’s birthday?
  13. The SAT is once again 1600. The PSAT goes up to 1520, but the NMSQT selection index transforms the PSAT section scores into an index that tops out at 228.
  14. After letting my son skip 10th grade this year, I was very afraid that my son would do something similar, but on the PSAT that is actually used for NMSQT. Fortunately, he got a 1470 on the PSAT and a 1560 on the SAT.
  15. You bought a two year old a toy Mini Cooper and made him take the PSAT in 5th grade?
  16. When my normal body temp dropped to around 97.5 a few years back.
  17. Two, maybe three weeks back I had a slightly elevated temp after dinner, 99.1. Checked it 15 minutes later and it had shot up to 99.8. Sorta freaked out internally and went to bed early. Slept most of the next day. Not long afterwards, I noticed a post- lunch fever between 99.5. It went away not long after dinner. Soon I realized that was everyday, a post-lunch fever between 99.5 and 99.9. After looking into it some more, I realized that body temp can rise by up to two degrees while digesting. Last night I ate way too much pizza and puked it up around 1:00 AM. Since then, I’ve had a persistent low grade fever today, never getting above 100.1, mostly in the 99.5 range. Gotta wonder, was it always like this and I never checked my temperature? Or is my temple thermometer running hot? I have another thermometer, an oral one, that shows a lower temperature. Am I just freaking myself out over nothing? My pulse oximeter shows good O2 stats, so I don’t know.
  18. Tarantulas and turnips will keep them busy.
  19. They'll accept a dummy 2019 Schedule C. I can't recall if a 2018 would work.
  20. I may say it sucked, but I'm more with Drew on this. For what it was and what it could have been, the mediocrity is galling.
  21. IIRC, the interim final guidance that Treasury released earlier this week said "Schedule C", not the whole return. Not 100% sure, but I keep hearing that plenty of banks are asking for more than what is required. If you push back, they might drop it, but banks kinda do what they want.
  22. Kim's an attorney and Mike used to operate the gate at the courthouse. They've met, though she might not remember him.
  23. IANAL, but you need to discuss this with your psychiatrist. FWIW, I've gotten unemployment in Texas when I quit on the advice of my psychologist and advised my employer of such in my resignation letter. I was already on an "improvement plan" and slated for termination, so maybe they just didn't fight it. That was about ten years ago and it seriously fucked up my career. But getting unemployment was better than nothing.
  24. The difference is that the Mandalorian didn’t suck. Picard needed to be twice as long and episodic or half as long and a purer serial.
  25. Typical Clone Wars, good enough, not sure how they'll wrap it up in time, but I trust that they will and it will be ever so slightly underwhelming.
