  1. Good for y'all. I want to pull the plug ASAP and drink myself to an early grave like nature intended.
  2. Your wife trying to kill you or something? You need to do the math and get over it. With what you’ve said you have, go should be able to retire easily at 55, even living in Cali? You don’t have the college money set aside or something? I’m eyeballing HS graduation. Of course a lot has to go right in the next 10 years…
  3. I believe it was called The Social. It had the rest rooms with windows at eye level that looked at into the bar. Fucking no one is going to Nadine's. That pace has failed as Kobain's, Darwin's, and at least 2 other name's. It's got bad parking, I just don't see how it's ever going to succeed. I am amazed Porch Swing is still in business. It's looking pretty ragged these days.
  4. You should stop doing that.
  5. I got some of these years back from reading one of those "kitchen items recommended by chefs" articles that float around. They were rusted after like 1-2 washes. Expensive things should be hand washed, not inexpensive ones. Trader Joe's has a version of this. And ginger.
  6. What, no love for that POS cinnabun? What about the hookah/burger/endless stream of bars/money laundering operating right next door?
  7. Nice Derpy Cat sticker.
  8. Yeah. Powell didn't guarantee an interest rate cut in December and private equity threw a tantrum.
  9. Pretty sure you know the answer to that question. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/who-is-ian-miles-cheong-meet-twitters-favourite-right-wing-commentator/articleshow/111606114.cms
  10. A million dollars in today's world doesn't even constitute "wealth." It constitutes "I might able to retire one day and be able to eat and pay medical bills." That's about it.
  11. I'm planning on it being insolvent, but everything is a bonus.
  12. That you know about. This site has more than one "wealthy" guy, there's at least 4-5 "wealthy guys," and I'd guess probably 15-20 or more in the $5 million range. There's probably a lot of engineers and lawyers worth well over a million just based on long careers and retirement funds, particularly if we're including home equity. I think it's more like an iceburg. 80% of it is below the water and doesn't post or you'd never know about it. Someone here probably invented a Jump to Conclusions mat.
  13. What kind of Hot Sauce is it? Any analogues? Is it more smokey or super hot? Looks like it's at Whole Foods and Cost Plus.
  14. Nope I'd crush those.
  15. Ok, maybe I’m not top 5%
  16. There’s a lot of different ā€œsuitesā€ in the SEZ. We split the cheapest one, which is basically an outdoor alcove/partition with chairs and a mini fridge. And we were each given a 7 year layaway pay for our halves. the big ā€œsuitesā€ you’re probably thinking of were 10 million a pop. Don’t get me wrong, I fucking love my seats and they were a great investment for my family, but any one here who’s paid private school tuition for a kid for a few years spent more money than my seats cost my family. I’d be shocked if my net worth is even top 10% of this website.
  17. "Props to the pole" should be your new handle.
  18. It's going to be must see TV when Pimphand shows up here.
  19. Some people have just learned not to use fucking yarn gifs.
  20. But man, the Fox News "War on Christmas" segments this winter would be next level.
  21. "we're all" and "getting rich" doing a lot of work there. I'm probably in the top 5% of America, and while I'm not by any stretch complaining, the gains I've made since Biden took office, while tremendous, aren't exactly "getting rich" money. Someone posted some article in another thread yesterday or the day before that while 160 million Americans have money in the stock market, 10% of the uber wealthy own 90% or the market, or something like that. Here's an article with a link to a net worth calculator by Kiplinger. https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/605075/are-you-rich The difference, per that article, between the 5% and the 1% is staggering, and we've all seen the different illustrations of the difference between the 1% and the billionaries. The point I'm making, is I'm better off than more than 90% of America, and I'm not getting rich, and I fucking care. A lot. Because everyone else is getting screwed.
  22. Swear there's a restaurant in Austin that was on Bordain or some cooking show that specializes in brains and scrambled eggs. I'm sure some of the folks here know it. Brains and Eggs used to be a southern staple.
  23. Lets say...popular TV. Words still matter. Those voters don't fucking watch C-Span. Most of them still have fucking antennas for their TVs unless they're stealing cable from someone. I do believe that was his point.
  24. It's 3:15. For when you come to your senses and realize that the only distraction of the daily kick to your face of living in America and knowing what's coming, is to distract yourself by 3 hours of kicks to your fucking balls.
  25. Everyone will be out of work can join the military, expanding the federal government, and we'll probably invade Mexico or Canada. Problem solved.
