  1. All I said was the original article only had one witness account. As soon as someone mentioned there was another article that had multiple witness accounts I said he should go to jail. now I know why so many people have you on ignore.
  2. Yeah that would be a huge difference. Of course he should go to jail then.
  3. FYI you posted the ESPP shares not the RSU shares. Those will be grouped a difference section either right above or right below.
  4. Yep - do what is best for you and your family. If you prefer company A give them a chance to match. Worse case is they say no.
  5. I am mainly responding to the stupid title of this thread, no one has walked free. If those other people collaborate the story then he will go to jail.
  6. There were two airlifted. 4 remained on scene. Not one of those four could give a statement? Maybe they did and it’s not reported in which case the cops fucked up. But they fact that it wasn’t reported is significant (or maybe they gave conflicting statements which is also significant. We just don’t know at this point). this board constantly complains about cops and their actions. All I am saying is if the only two statements are the driver and the one cyclist behind the accident. Then I think the cop did the right thing by just filing a report and letting the system work.
  7. Whatever. The only witness statement you are going off of is one person who already had a gripe against the kid. if there was even a single second witness that backed up the first I would agree. But that’s not what the article says. right now it’s he said/ he said either multiple people hurt. Maybe the dumb take is accepting the first thing you read without asking questions and just joining the lynch mob.
  8. And he may still be charged. What does arresting him on the spot do? didn’t this happen 2 days ago? Why not let the evidence play out before saying he is “walking free”
  9. The way that story is written I don’t think you could have arrested him on the spot “Ferrell says a black diesel pickup truck slowed down near him and accelerated to blow smoke in his lane. Moments later, Ferrell claims the pickup truck tried doing the same thing to the other cyclists riding ahead of him.” While a extremely dick move, I am not sure slowing down and accelerating is a illegal move, and that is all the witness claimed. There may be a case for reckless driving and endangering others but just from this article it seems far from a slam dunk. With out hard evidence of a crime this is just a accident to the cop and should let the investigation play out. just reading it I could see the case of the first cyclist being pissed off about what the kid did and in a rage blame him for a accident that happened minutes later. I know this is surly but those sure are fast jumps to conclusions y’all made.
  10. I assume store bought gnocchi? Do you have a brand you like?
  11. My wife stopped working at 40 and I am 3 weeks away from retiring myself at 45. We both had very good careers in the tech industry but we also started saving and investing early as we got raises we did not spend most of that money instead kept saving with the goal to retire early. I have two girls under 10 so I know what my mine focus will be for awhile, but after that who knows? What I do know is I am three weeks away from having the full independence to do whatever I want to do next. For example I am currently using up a little bit of my vacation left and am posting this from the Maldives….things are looking really good from here.
  12. I am curious on what the remedy for this situation is. I mean you can’t move your house?
  13. Pretty much this. It doesn't sound like you care that much about the money and more want to be fair. So just average the 2 numbers and call it a day.
  14. Yeah. I forced quit the app a few times and got it to work.
  15. Every trip to Vegas is really this no matter how you dress it up.
  16. That is awesome, I remember being able to buy custom shirts there with the iron on letters. We had some creativity with that one.
  17. delayed again https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/1/22652704/top-gun-maverick-mission-impossible-7-delayed-covid-19-delta-concerns-theaters-paramount
  18. Consistency is the problem. When the fries are done right they are crispy and soft on the inside. Bust since they are all different sizes you never get a whole batch that are good.
  19. There has been a few posts in various travel threads but I don’t think we have one for Maldives yet so I think it is time we started one. I have plans to go later this month and there are a few others who have trips upcoming @Biff Tannen Travel there is a journey we are flying from AUS-DFW-DOH-MLE once you get to Male you either take a speedboat or a puddle jumper to your resort (most resorts in the Maldives are on their own island). I am going to stay at https://www.conradmaldives.com which does have a under water suite (we are not staying in that). Plans right now are mostly just to relax although I do want to do one fishing trip just to mark “Fish in Indian Ocean” off the list. Who has been? Any tips?
  20. Opps...the houses are 1:15 hours apart.
  21. We took plunge on a lake house about 10 months ago, it is a 1:15 minutes from our house door to door. This has allowed us to use it very frequently, I do wonder long term how much of that will wane with time, non-covid times, and my kids (9 and 6 now) having more and more extracurricular activities. I will say, it has become a very relaxing place for us. We can go on a moments notice and once there we feel very removed from our day to day lives.
  22. I had it in Japan as part of a shabu shabu meal
  23. sure, why not? I have eaten horse so I assume its not that different.
  24. I have a reoccurring dream they start to offer jalapeños as a topping on the spicy chicken. It must be what heaven is like.
