  1. Good points. But the question remains whether Gus/Mike would think she has become a loose end--and no half measures . . .
  2. Can Kim really leave? Is she a loose end now? She may need to see the vacuum cleaner guy. Maybe that is assumed.

    Getting old sucks

    Make sure you get Propofol--the best drug ever. For most, the actual procedure is a non-event.
  4. I suppose it’s different when even your estranged husband dies, but Howard’s widow showed zero love for him in the earlier episode with the coffee/breakfast. She seemed a little too grief stricken. Also, while it added to Kim’s story line, I was surprised Saul and Kim engaged the widow at all. There would be no evidence leading back to them. The less said the better. They could have deflected her insinuations without another lie told in public.
  5. OP, Korea wasn’t a tie. The UN (mostly US) successfully repelled the invading forces. The goal was never to gain territory in North Korea.
  6. I did this as well and had very good results. Evaporation is an issue, but, as I understand it, it’s the evaporation process that lowers the water temp.

    This. I battled tennis elbow for 20 months before it finally healed. I had three cortisone shots spread over many months and the relief was only temporary. I did PT, Graston (hurt like hell), message, heat therapy, and electro. Not sure if any of those really worked or it just healed with time. I almost had surgery but the second opinion surgeon, who is also an acquaintance, talked me out of it. Tendinitis is self limiting. It will heal eventually.
  8. This right here. Spieth already has had an amazing career. What Tiger and Jack have done is amazing.
  9. There’s a cord cutter’s thread in the help forum that covers everything pretty well.
  10. On letting Saul and Kim go, I assumed Gus sees Saul as being useful (which he ended up being for a time), and while it may be hard to pin anything back to Gus, it might raise some red flags if Howard, Saul and Kim--three lawyers in a relatively small legal market, all go missing around the same time.
  11. I love to do blind tastings. The last time I blind tasted Weller SR, W12 and Weller Antique it was clear which was the Antique because of the alcohol content. But I could not tell the SR and the W12 apart. So I no longer seek out W12 and I wouldn’t pay a premium for it. Hell, SR is often hard to find. On the issue of a high quality whisky for an OF, I just use a good quality rye or bourbon I like. So long as it’s not shitty whisky, the bitters and sugar defeat the nuances I might notice in a high priced whisky. Same concept for a margarita. Top shelf tequila margaritas are crazy, but restaurants love to serve them.
  12. On the taste and smell thing, as I posted above, my symptoms were mild for the first three days. Two days after my light fever went away and I felt fine, then I lost my smell/taste for two more days. I couldn’t taste my bourbon and that sucked.
  13. I was taking extra vitamin D but the rest were new to me. Who knows if they helped because the illness wasn’t a big deal anyway.
  14. I had it last month. I've had worse allergies. If Covid wasn't a thing I wouldn't given it much thought. It started with a scratchy throat and developed into a very light fever for a few days easily treated with ibuprofen or tylenol. Never even felt like laying down during the day. Doctor told me to take a bunch of immunity boosters (vitamin D, C, Zinc, and quercetin and Alka Seltzer Cold for cold/flu symptoms), which I did, and said I didn't need the newish anti-viral meds. My wife got it a few days after I did and her symptoms were even lighter than mine. Usually she's a complete lightweight when it comes to being sick--a paper cut ruins her day. Many of my friends and coworkers and their spouses have had it over the last month or so and all have had very light symptoms.
  15. Same here. I could even tell that he only had two shots. I assumed he shot his six and just kept pulling the trigger to make sure the gun was empty.
  16. Every time I see this thread I wonder if they surrendered again. Note that I’m about a quarter French by heritage.
  17. I could have worded it differently. Shortly after it appeared on cable I tried to watch it. I couldn’t get 20 minutes into the film. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
  18. I and then II. Casablanca beats them both. I’ll never watch III.
  19. Lalo was a great character but I hated that evil fuck. I wanted to actually see him get shot.
  20. That, or maybe he just wanted to get into the laundromat to get the proof of the lab and Gus winding up there was a bonus.
  21. Did Lalo actually think that Kim or Jimmy would get access to Gus, much less shoot him? I can't imagine he did.
  22. Apparently they let the mask mandate expire in February. So five months. That was my point.
  23. Not sure when they changed, but Pitkin County had mask mandates in late January 2022 when we were skiing. Many restaurants even required proof of vaccination before we would be seated. We didn't see many masks last week--I noticed a few at the food market, and no one asked to see proof of vaccination.
  24. Even Aspen, Colorado no longer has a mask requirement.
