  1. Scientific studies show serif fonts are easier to read in print (while sans serif easier on screens). Also that a ragged right edge (unjustified) is easier to read.
  2. That was one of the hilarious things about A Man In Full. Charlie Croker's yacht was called "First Draw," referring to the first draw on a construction loan.
  3. Given that we're approximately the same age, what was the FCA bullshit? It was really a student club, faculty sponsor was a coach, so it was kind of a nothing at my HS, but most of the jocks dabbled in it. YL was sponsored mostly out of a PCUSA church, so it was pretty milktoast, too. It was only later that I learned it had some darkish fundagelical origins and undertones.
  4. Well, the thing is, like Young Life, there was a vague notion among high school kids that it might be virtuous and that a lot of cool kids were doing it. But very few of them were actually very devout. Same kinda deal with FCA. Like Bozo said, kids that age are trying on costumes. This might result in quite a few more R votes from 18 year olds than otherwise.
  5. The first time I saw "Dance The Night Away" and The Mavericks on RDS or whatever, I thought it would be a Van Halen cover. And I thought that might be pretty spectacular.
  6. Finding a way to deal with the real estate is worthwhile, because it is a "titled asset" that doesn't have many real good workarounds. It's a hassle to deal with and may create a less-than-ideal title for subsequent sale. TOD/POD is as simple as any. Doing something similar is worthwhile for any bank accounts or IRAs, even if relatively small in amount. Other than that, you don't really need anything else. Competence is something of an issue with anything stepmother has to sign, but it is particularly acute with a power of attorney. Assuming there is anyone (heirs other greedy sumbitches) to contest anything.
  7. Who is this Gary character?
  8. Got that Octavia Spencer vibe goin.
  9. Is this just trickle-down from Thiel or does Stanford and the Silicon Valley have a systemic problem?
  10. Surprised they didn't bust out my personal favorite, "coal burner."
  11. Do you see that your own chart shows that inflation is on the rise again in 2025? Despite continuing distancing from the pressures of Covid?
  12. UU's financials. https://utahutes.com/documents/2025/1/21/FY24_NCAA_Revenue_and_Expense_Report.pdf tl;dr Revenue 109,793,853 Expenses $126,835,478
  13. I recently learned Dwight may be a shithead, but here's what he said back in October.
  14. Yeah, ostensibly the revenue for the vultures comes from licensing and marketing and shit. But where it's likely to come from really is ticket prices, concessions, and shit like pay toilets.
  15. Yeah, we wish stupid racists would be ashamed and quiet again. How bout da?
  16. What "conversation," you fucking idiot. If you want to put pull up bars, squat racks and kettlebells in airports just fucking do it.
  17. Wow, damn. Knew he was illin and got a nice note from shithead Dwight about being unable to continue their tour. RIP.
  18. Dennis, I'd like you to think about having to use a different restroom or sit at a different place in the restaurant or bus. Or being forbidden to go to the state university, or buy a house in a nice neighborhood. Or have to pay a tax to vote or pass a test.
  19. Liar liar pants on fire. For clarity, China bought 14.1 million metric tons more during the Biden Administration than during Trump I, mostly because of Trump, See 2018.
  20. I guess I have to give myself an incomplete. I hated cassettes, except for making "mixtapes." The thing we or I did with cassettes mostly was tape songs off the radio or make compilations from LPs. I quickly became familiar with their deteriorating fidelity and mechanical finickyness and wasn't about to pay for a cassette if an LP was available. I do recall buying a cassette of Big Audio Dynamite II's The Globe album because they were out of CDs. I don't think I ever paid for a download and surely have no idea what was first. In my defense, I tended to download things I already owned for use on an mp3 player.
  21. And, there's a pretty decent likelihood that all the tariff revenue goes poof in the next few months.
  22. They talk about TP as if it's the Boy Scouts or MYF or something. For fuck's sake it's a political organization. That's the other thing about Kirk, he was nothing more than a politico and a lightweight at that. Not even a George Will or Wm. F. Buckley. Also, I think there are 1A problems with this. Big-time, bro.
  23. Well the part about sinking stateless ships is an overstatement, if not flat wrong. Such vessels can be boarded and seized, which doesn't usually invoke sinking. And,, your Whaler is probably state-registered, so it's not stateless. Stateless ships usually present a different problem because the nation of registry provides the law for a lot of aspects of the crew, like wage/hour, human rights, etc. But it is true that unregistered ships sometimes get used for nefarious purposes.
  24. A few cheeseburgers and bowls of fettuccine Alfredo.
