  1. They've done it before
  2. Yeah it'll be our leadership's second time, but we're tired of Fiserv's shit so it'll be worth it in the long run.
  3. Man we're (Credit Union) looking to change our core in the next 30 months, and our preferred choice is really trying to make the price point for hosting it offsite enticing. Shit like this scares me compared to what we have with everything on-site now.
  4. I didn't care much for The Long Walk. There was only so many pages of walking that I could take. I'm about halfway through Under the Dome for the first time and damn it's good.
  5. One my favorite reads recently https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300179040/stalins-library/ It's particularly good in its arguments for one of the reasons that Stalin misunderstood Hitler was that he assumed that Hitler was as well read as Stalin was. He even censored some anti-Nazi books from being published in the Soviet Union, thinking that Hitler would read them or at least hear about them and get so mad at literature that he'd invade.
  6. I've become so lazy that I now read the page while listening to audiobooks at the same time. Basically, the reading version of this...
  7. Well, I guess we fundamentally disagree on the function of government. Makes sense for both of us to vote our way then.
  8. Undefeated and the bad news came out on a bye week, just as God demanded.
  9. Well, I'm not opposed to taxes in theory. Why would I want to ban something that I think might have a place in our society in the future?
  10. I kind of just stopped about 1/3-1/2 of the way into book 2. It isn't bad and I really liked the first one, but I think I got Dammit Donut'd out. The world building really is enjoyable.
  11. Robinhood aint right either
  12. LGA to Tribeca was $137 last November for me with UberXL.
  13. Kentucky seems to make a ton of small errors.
  14. Getting paid either way! However, I don't think he's fired at 7-5 which feels about right.
  15. It's what we always do, even with one of the best punters.
  16. Punting on 4th and 1 from your own 45 has become weird to see in CFB.
  17. UNC fumbling on the first play was a nice touch.
  18. We talk about this yet? Gift link: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/us/bible-public-school-curriculum-texas.html?unlocked_article_code=1.uU8.YOHu.eMlg7jJCEfFY&smid=url-share
  19. My dad feeds his chickens their own eggs, just cracks them in front of them right from the nest. It's perverse!
  20. Dad said the Fried Chicken at Westphalia was on point this year.
  21. My wife told me that they're allowing people on the pyramids again, but she lies a lot.
  22. Wait can you be so into cultural relativism that you become ethnocentric again?
  23. Well of course quite a bit of the Anti-Aranda group is anti-anyone that isn't Art Briles.
