  1. My guess is that when someone flies in a private jet a few times, they don’t want to go back to commercial planes. PJs ain’t cheap.
  2. Always disliked how they had Mike eventually leaving Gloria to join a commune with one of his female students. I know that Reiner chose not to join the Gloria spinoff but you don’t have to ruin the character because of an actor’s choice. Very different from McLean Stevenson leaving MASH.
  3. Since it never went beyond bill status, you never know where it would have ended up but there were many unanswered questions. First, you can't pay insurance premiums with HSA funds. You can pay deductibles and most other legit healthcare costs but there has always been a rule that HSAs can't be used for premiums. Also the GOP had to insert language to eliminate abortion and gender transition care from HSA reimbursement. create more low premium plans (good!) most likely with shit plans (bad.) I also have to wonder that if someone received this HSA funding of $1000 or $1500, was there anything preventing someone from cashing this out to buy groceries. Yes theoretically you would owe income tax on that transaction but HSA reimbursement is pretty much the honor system. Overall I think HSAs are great tools but they've pretty much failed the original goals because Americans don't save.
  4. Seems like Nick was fairly unsuccessful with his showbiz career. He called himself a writer but his only IMDB writing credit looks to be a movie that Rob directed and it doesn't sound like a stretch that Rob made that movie happen. But maybe Nick did something else with his life as well.
  5. Rob’s other son Jake was a reporter with the Houston NBC station for a few years. If you were aware of it, you couldn’t help but remind yourself of his background when he was reporting on a road closure or standing knee deep in water during a hurricane. I believe he finally quit to follow his family legacy in show business.
  6. That was an interesting podcast by Reiner.
  7. Addicts will hurt, if not kill loved ones, if they don’t get the money they need for drugs. I’ve had stories in my family of the addict literally saying, “don’t make me hurt you,” to the person they love the most.
  8. Maybe seek out care for that claustrophobic problem especially when you’re choosing to sit up against the side of the plane.
  9. I recall reading that Charlie was 31 when he died so this pic made me cringe thinking that she must be early 30s or late 20s. Wikipedia tells me that she’s 37. Good on him for not caring that his wife was so much older than him but is his fan base aware of this fact? Most of them believe women age out around 26. They would call him a beta for not choosing a 19 year old.
  10. Always wonder how much of a living someone has when they annually appear in a couple of TV episodes, 1-2 low budget film, and infrequently in a large budget film.
  11. UM will pay for this to go away. They don’t want this in court or in the press every day. It will be a distraction even if ESPN or Barstool fail to cover it. not to mention that she could very well know about more UM secrets including other coaches who cheat on their wives.
  12. Bunch of victims here.
  13. In terms of her violating any HR policy, I’ve read that the UM employee handbook says that reporting of any relationship is the sole responsibility of the senior employee/supervisor. There’s also the story that UM was investigating this situation for a couple of months and that she denied the relationship. I do agree that puts her in a bad light but any decent lawyer could successfully argue that she had to lie to keep her job given the athletic dept culture. Therefore it’s unreasonable to expect to tell the truth. Put me on a jury and I would have zero qualms about making UM pay out.
  14. fair maps? These fair maps were completely cracking Indianapolis and NW Indiana which just so happened to most likely move the 7-2 congressional map to 9-0. Indiana is definitely a red state but even they had 40% vote for Harris. You could easily argue that 6-3 GOP would be the fair split.
  15. Winner. They will justify going back to the same people because "this election is just too important to not unify on foundation principles."
  16. @bobcat1995 Would Dad and Stepmom have problems with selling their house now and moving into a rental? I get that people want to remain in their "home" but there's something to be said about downsizing and having a landlord to take care of all houston maintenance and problems. Having $500K in the bank + monthly SS is not a bad financial step. It gives you many options.
  17. Yes. An amendment would be necessary.
  18. Presumably Moore had some idea that an investigation was underway. Is there any chance an investigation wouldn't at least give him a chance to explain his side, even as a last step before completing the investigation? Is it possible that the side chick cooperated with the investigation and Moore only found out as he was shown the door?
  19. We need to require a Congressional approval for pardons. Pardons and commutations are good in principle in allowing a President to right a wrong but the abuses are growing too much. An amendment is needed that should require the House to vote on the pardon/commutation at the beginning of its next quorum. First vote of the day. And not just a voice vote but require an actual vote. Force them to put their name on it. And no pardons allowed in the period between 1 week prior to election day and the new congress, including new President is inaugurated.
  20. Imagine the conflicts if the President gets to override a state's (governor's) right to pardon. I assume it could also mean that a President could veto a governor's pardon if the President disagrees with the pardon.
  21. Unspecified but I assume that at some point the dangers of the COVID vaccine will be read to you and you will need to sign off that you accept taking your life into danger.
  22. The best part of this failure in Indiana is that while the state senators do want GOP control in Congress, they have pointed to the bullying and harassment from Trump & Co., as well as his behavior for their rejection of Trump's wishes. One state GOP senator, with a Down's syndrome child, called out Trump's insensitivity towards people like his child. Sadly, these politicians will will most likely face consequences in future elections or be required to resign to avoid them.
  23. Wish that had been followed up with inquiring about why the FBI is unable to discover more information about the #1 threat to American safety.
  24. CNN reporting that the FDA is going to issue a black label warning on COVID vaccines packaging. The label is reserved for the most dangerous drugs that carry a high risk like opioids.
  25. I caught her interview with Tim Miller of the bulwark podcast. She struggled to put together complete sentences. I know people praise her past writing as a reporter but she was anything but forthcoming. She neither wanted to talk much about her relationship with RFK nor about how she failed to stick to journalistic standards. Um, that is the only 2 topics that interest anyone.
