  1. Another vote for Roth. I put a couple grand in each of my kids' Roth, invested 100% in low cost growth index funds. If it even hits close to historical numbers they'll have large amounts of tax free money after 40 plus years of compounding. They can pour a cold one out in my honor when they turn 59 1/2. If not, we (or they as I'll almost surely be dead) are probably all fucked and scrounging for food anyway.
  2. How do those fuckers survive winter? I live in Minnesota and it amazes me they do it.
  3. Then she probably shouldn't have asked us if we were going to make it in a speak now or forever hold your peace manner. Also this was not a huge group call where that approach made sense. Smaller group so I just responded I couldn't make it.
  4. Today on a group zoom call my boss mentioned that her boss will be in town next Wednesday and we're all expected to go out to happy hour after work. I responded that my son has a baseball game so I won't be able attend the happy hour. She went on a big guilting rant how it was just one game and it's stupid I cared that much. I simply responded with I'm sorry you feel that way but I'm not attending the happy hour. Awkward silence followed. I fucking love knowing I can walk at a moment's notice with no concerns. I might just walk in and quit tomorrow just because she was being such an asshole. I'll sleep on it and see how I feel in the morning. To me, that's what FIRE is all about. Or the FI part of it, at least.
  5. From the William Shatner school of overacting. He was in Yellowstone too so I guess he's going through a Rocky mountain rancher phase.
  6. I know when I'm illicitly moving money somewhere that I want to be sure it's safe and I can get it back, my first choice is either an ex wife or estranged wife.
  7. I think with tinder and the general hookup culture, it's easier than ever for young guys to get laid. If I could have worked an hourly wage job, played video games while smoking weed all day and still gotten laid, I'm pretty sure I might have reconsidered all that grad school debt. Tldr- back in my day we had to work for pussy.
  8. It's an excuse to put on a tux, get drunk and wait in line to kiss Harry Reasoner's ass (or whomever the current managing partner is). Not knocking Reasoner, but you'd think experienced lawyers would be a bit more subtle about the brown nosing.
  9. There's something they call golden penis syndrome on campuses. If there are only 40% males on campus, then the whole dating dynamic gets shifted and the top males are swimming in options. I noticed it when I visited my freshman daughter and commented on it. Well not on the guys having golden penises, just on the fact that I saw 2 girls for every guy walking around. She said it's compounded by the fact that many of the male students are international and that means they are there to study, get a degree and go back home. Socialization and intermingling with fellow students is not on the agenda.
  10. Yeah I saw that in episode 2. It was just an odd observation made by me in episode 1 as that's something that would usually be explained right away in situations like that where one family member has an entirely different accent. I just imagined them trying to get Walken to do a British accent, giving up and saying we'll explain it in later episodes. I'm also bitter we didn't get to hear his attempts at the accent as that would have been comedic gold.
  11. Just started it. I love how they don't even bother trying to have Walken do a British accent. Fuck it, just do your normal voice, Chris, we'll work around it.

    Getting old sucks

    Have you tried a bidet? I never had the roids as bad as you, but have had no issues since getting a bidet 5 years ago.
  13. Meth Damon killing that kid during the great train robbery was all sorts of fucked up too.
  14. My nephew goes to Rice. Nice enough kid but hard to believe we share DNA. He's all into books and math and stupid shit like that.
  15. Watching season 5. Nacho has perfected the facial expression of you've got to be fucking kidding me. Just conveys his thoughts perfectly.
  16. Just got news from my daughter at UCSB that everyone gets instate tuition for summer school. I'm obviously thrilled, but is that normal? I told her she should work at Ralph's for 9 months of the year, only go to summer school and graduate at 30.
  17. And what the hell is an old age tax? Did places used to charge seniors more?
  18. My grandmother told a story of how on her first date with my grandfather in the 30's he tried to flop it out by casually paying with a 50. Well, she didn't phrase it exactly that way, but you know what I mean. Apparently, it worked.
  19. I've worked with some badass Harvard lawyers and plenty of Harvard dipshits, too. But I've met only one competent Yale grad. Hell, I hardly run across many Yalies in private practice, I figure they all go into teaching or government work. True story from my days as a pup at big law. Get called into IP partner's office, saying I need to draft an asset purchase agreement for a client. Start asking all the obvious questions I'm gonna need before I discover that client is selling a used Ford Explorer. I did manage to convince her that negotiating an APA was not the cost effective way to go here.
  20. The sorority thread was over 20 years ago. Not that I feel old or anything.
  21. SynTex? I think it was I'm stunned, I'm pissed, it's mack brown.
  22. Well they showed the rancher finding him and presumably he rescued him.
  23. You can get an STD from watching someone jack off?
  24. So I binged all 4 seasons over the last few weeks. General comment- Beth is just an unlikeable bully. I get they want to create a strong woman role, but a strong woman is not an asshole to the help just because she can be. On season 4, they kind of dropped the whole storyline of Kayce dropping the asshole easement owner in the cattle guard. That did not seem like the type of guy to suddenly have an epiphany that he was wrong all along and should have shared the easement with the rancher. He's the guy that's immediately pressing kidnapping and abuse of power charges against Kayce and raising hell in the media and courts.
