  1. February 13, 2022. Mark that down as the date I actually won a bet that played out exactly as I predicted. That's rare enough that I might as well go get a lotto while I'm at it.
  2. I'm thinking of having another meeting... In bed.
  3. Watching inventing Anna. Haven't decided if it's good or not but just realized the con woman is played by Ruth from Ozark. She must like playing fucked up accents
  4. Someone said it upthread, but the ACA is income based, not asset based. So limit your realized income and you get subsidies. Basically only sell enough cap gains in a year so you look poor from an income point of view. It's not right, it's not fair, but those are the current rules.
  5. I think the Rams pass rush should feast on the Bengals weak line, so I like the over on sacks by Rams (3.5) and even on total sacks (5.5). I'm a perfect negative indicator so load up on the unders.
  6. That's a good way to get your dog killed. Moose fucking hate dogs because they think they are wolves. A dog in our neighborhood in the mountains got stomped to death by a moose in December. I think a better way to get his ass killed is leave him attached to a slow middle aged human that already had a heavy pack on him. I had him on a handless leash that attached to my belt so his best bet was not to be attached to my slow ass if a moose was coming after us.
  7. I was hiking in Colorado with my dog and the trail went around a pond just like that that had a moose just casually eating and watching us. We couldn't have been more than 20 yards from him. I got ready to unleash the dog in case it charged us so he'd have to pick one of us to chase. Fortunately, he left us alone. The funny thing is my dog never noticed him. A squirrel farts and he goes crazy but he misses a big ass bull moose staring at us.
  8. I saw that episode when he was being stalked by a jaguar and he definitely seemed spun up. Not judging, as I'd have pissed my pants. Someone once told me if a moose charges get behind a tree and do the old looney tunes cartoon trick of spinning around the tree always staying on the other side. No idea if that actually works, but it sounds good to me.
  9. Username and all that.
  10. What is this, a house for ants?
  11. I like how they initially attacked Chupac without lasers. Just use lots of brute force against the massive wookie.
  12. Was going to say this too. I describe the reacher books as Harlequin romance novels for men- escapist fantasy all of us desk jockeys wish we could be. Stroll into town, kick some asses, bang a hottie or two, right some wrongs, then move on no strings attached.
  13. So you've cheated with old hot chicks and young ugly ones? I can respect that.
  14. Roscoe would get it. A little polite but I'm willing to make exceptions. Bruce McGill is a longhorn, just FYI.
  15. Marshawn was about to beat the shit out of the guy with the bat. Also loved when the cast member lost it with Dianne Feinstein.
  16. As a Minnesota resident for the last 16+ years (and next 16 months), all I can say is fuck the cold and fuck Seasonal Affective Disorder. I think I could do the off grid life in a warm place, but damn if I could handle what you do. Maybe I'll buy a cabin in Alaska for the summer and one in Costa Rica for the winter, but after I leave here the only ice I want to see is in my tea.
  17. I just realized this week is my 5th anniversary of getting a bidet. So to whomever it was (lukeduke?) on the other site that started that thread- thank you, you changed my life. I'm planning to do some RV travel in the near future and my single biggest priority is how to get a bidet set up. I'm thinking of just threading the bidet supply line into one of those gallon sized pump sprayers. Fill it with water, give it a couple of pumps, turn bidet on, clean ass. As long as I can fit the bidet on the RV toilet seat I should be good to go.
  18. 2500 billable hours is what wall street firms expect now? Yeah, fuck that.
  19. I went in house almost 19 years ago after a few mind numbing years as a big law associate. Best move I ever made. I'm sure there are some good law firm environments that are better than a shitty in house gig, but as a general rule, in house is way better for work life balance and just general sanity. The really shitty in house gigs tend to be the ones where you have a former hard charging big law partner hired as GC who tries to run it like a law firm.
  20. Dammit, are we not doing phrasing?
  21. I'm assuming you've only been in the market 2 years because you're a young buck. If so, this is the best damn thing that could happen to you. Just keep shoveling money in on autopilot (not an advisor, not investment advice, yada yada yada). I didn't have money to invest until 1998 and by 2009 I was wondering why the fuck I'd spent 11 years automatically investing religiously. In hindsight, those 2 brutal bears were the best thing that ever happened for my retirement.
  22. "Her daughter, Bonner Acker, is an avid equestrian and works in interior design." She seems pretty low maintenance. Edit- Not sure why the hell that spoilered. Quote
  23. And everyone acted like all of them together have no chance against Icarus, when the Flashette did a pretty good job of beating his ass for a bit. Hell, I've always wondered how anyone beats the flash or quicksilver.
  24. The roidy officer is named Pullease. Can you imagine the shit he gets with that name? It was just a matter of time before he snapped.
  25. Vince was firmly rejected by the birthing person. I eventually named a dog that though.
