  1. There should be an uprising on that alone. How man Salamarca de Navidad movies can an already depressed nation take? Also I saw this article over the weekend and thought it was a good/sad read. The Venezuelan City Devastated By Migration - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
  2. I'm having some trouble on how much I should keep in my HYSA. I'm putting away around $1000 a month into it, but having >$20k in a savings account at 35 seems like a waste of potential. I was thinking about just letting it sit at $20k and moving that $1000/month over to the market (401K and Roth are maxed out so no go there). Is that considered enough, or is there a consensus where it should be a year's salary or something? We just bought our house in 2021 at 3.5% so no rush to pay that off, no kids, wife works, so I'm having a hard time thinking of reasons to keep that savings growing.
  3. Well it was a school shooting so...
  4. That's probably for the best. College fund is doing great. Let's keep it going.
  5. Salsa is one of those things that I just make, it takes 15 minutes, it keeps well, and tomatillos are cheap as shit.
  6. It was worse than normal because it was also the 3rd which is when many Social Security checks come in + off of a Monday holiday. I don't blame most Surlyites for forgetting about the MAGA base. I forget about them over the weekend too when I deal with my normal social circle. Then when the doors open on any Monday morning, they come shuffling in and I'm reminded just how helpless they really are when it comes to something simple like banking. They lack many of the easiest skills that we take for granted, just last week I had one of them come in and try to cash a check that was made payable to the RNC. She showed me the mailer that she received, and it was a letter saying that they were going to match any donation that she made to the Trump campaign and the "check" was really just a prop. Her response was pretty amazing. "I already gave to him last month. Why would he be asking for more? I think he's just giving me money back for supporting him because he takes care of his supporters." There are millions of people walking around like that, but they aren't the entirety of his base of course. You'd be surprised at the number of people that seem perfectly normal that have recurring payments to the Heritage Foundation coming out of their account every month.
  7. The Book of Mormon will be there from Jan 7-12 if you want to see some show tunes in the big city before going back to whatever cultureless city you happen to live in.
  8. I've done my own research and disagree. Where are you getting your information from? Books? The Media?
  9. My wife went from having an aide for half a day to her group of 4 teachers having zero aides total due to budget cuts this year. The principal is doing lunch monitoring this year for three hours a day. It's working as intended though as my wife swears this is her last year and she's a bilingual teacher with her masters that will be replaced by
  10. Had one Friday and it was the best burger I've had from your standard Wendy's, McDonald's, BK, or Sonic type fast food. I did sub out the sauce for mustard though.
  11. Block there is fine because it was behind the line of scrimmage right? Only thing that made it a penalty was it being blindside or am I wrong?
  12. Nah it would be better if it was Modelo Negra
  13. Oh that? That's just locker room talk!
  14. The Cover 3 podcast was talking about this one and then had a good laugh when they mentioned that Georgia State didn't get a spring because their coach at the time quit after two practices. Something like "how do you take that as a player? We did so bad at practice that the coach ran away."
  15. I wonder if people on a Real Madrid message board are dreaming about retiring in Tupelo, Mississippi.
  16. Was pretty common on plates in Western North Carolina before about the 1910s. I'm assuming a lot of the country was eating black bear.
  17. You lucky son of a bitch. Oh and lol at the idea of Evangelicals leaving Trump over anything at this point. They're full on the hate machine as much as any other MAGAite.
  18. https://www.climbkc.com/underground This place is great and as far as I know the only place you can rock climbing 10 stories under the earth.
  19. Highly recommend it if you like this kind of thing.
  20. MWC found their commissioner by picking a random shopper at Target.
  21. SMU whites looking good
