    Two thumbs up. Perfect blend of comedy / horror by not taking itself seriously. I didn’t catch until after that the old lady and coked up stripper were same actress.
  2. I’m old, pushing 50, had a torn meniscus snipped out last year. Went to work next day, walked without crutches in 2 days. Was lightly jogging in a week. The hardest part recovery wise is from the cocktail straw sized hole they probe into your knee to find what to snip. But its not like a torn tendon that can get reinjured from trauma, it’s just snipping out little frayed edge which triggers the pain.
  3. I’m surprised at all the shitting on unlimited PTO, especially with WFH or partial WFH becoming more standard.
  4. Saw Jeff Tweedy at The Paramount last night and man were they ball busting strict on masks inside plus vax proof to enter. Had dinner across street at Perry’s and zero masks or fucks were given. Strange transitionary time we’re in.
  5. We’re three weeks in, so in the honeymoon period, but really like it. I used to do a lot of road biking and have done various boot camp, gym, cross fit, etc memberships, but being so busy with work and kids the convenience factor is the shit, especially WFH a couple days a week. The breadth of classes beyond spin should not be overlooked. And the camaraderie of doing live classes makes up for a lot of the boredom of just riding a trainer. Watched the second half of horns game last night while having a simulated ride through France on the monitor and 45 minutes flew by. Stock wise, I wouldn’t think twice as a reason not to buy. They skyrocketed during covid and it was not sustainable. They have far too many active members for someone not to swoop in be it Amazon, Apple or private equity. The new CEO was the CFO at Spotify and Netflix which signals how they are thinking about digital and growth. He’s mentioned dropping the price of the bike am increasing the monthly subscription which is curios. I’ll plug the 30 minute HIT / Hill class with Leann as a hard and efficient quick workout. And she’s juggy. #SurlyPeloton

  7. Listening to 5/8/77, playing poker on annual ski trip, good shit…
  8. Heading to Keystone tomorrow afternoon. Annual guys trip with 25+ year stretch with same 5-10 dudes. Couple lean years with marriage and kids, but game on tomorrow. dallas and austin guys departures pulled forward to skip the thursday ice, tomorrow it is.
  9. Nah, it’s got tremendous depth and diversity of music and news. Flipping through channels 15-35 gives everything rock related you could be in mood for, old and new. Plus pro sports all through the app. And the standup comedy stations are solid. I drive enough that firing up my iphone for spotify every time i start the car is a whip.
  10. Got Tweedy tickets. I’ve seen Wilco like 10 times, never the solo stuff. #dadrock
  11. I just got the automated renewal for two platinum radios for a laughable $334, time for the annual 20 minute negotiation
  12. Similar deal with my wife. Pretty hard core athlete who didn’t ski until early 30s. It’s part of the family vibe with the kids now, but there is a lot to be said for learning to ski that late.
  13. Any thoughts on how the apple storage works with an ancillary PC? I’ve got pretty basic needs to just save “family business” docs (pdf, xls, sheets, etc) in an organized folder hierarchy that we’d create. I’ll never use a Mac for work and vice versa for my wife. And the whole family uses Iphones coupled with gmail reliance for personal and now work.
  14. Looks like for a family like ours with a combo of mac’s and pc’s, gmail accounts for work and personal and several iphones that going all in with google with their photo app coupled with google drive should let us kill drop box and apple storage upgrades. The reviews indicate the google photo apps plays nicely with apple. I’ve got a slew of old hard drives I’ve historically used for taxes, mortgage and stuff but if they ultimately require cloud backup as a fail safe measure then i think i’m ready to surrender fully to the cloud gods.
  15. Over the years the family has ended up with too many options. Drop box from the beginning for taxes, mortgage and personal stuff, then got into the Apple ecosystem with Iphones mostly for photos (with storage fees now, amplified with kids) and i’ve had a gmail address forever with minimal use of their storage. I’m looking to consolidate everything and am curious what others do.
  16. I’m looking at Lexus GX460s, 2015-17. Carvana has a few “good” pricing deals vs other traditional dealerships. Pricing aside, anyone have good or bad experience with Carvana? I saw cargurus mentioned upthread but they appear to be an aggregator like cars.com and even list vroom and carvana cars.
  17. Two daughters, two results (they are young, no surly pic jokes)
  18. Meh, 7 ct is perfect imo. Enough time to get away from work and do dinner.
  19. Greensky Bluegrass is quirky fun
  20. Tested positive 12/26. I was not prepared for the brain fog and fatigue hanging around as long as it did. Had zero panicky breathing symptoms, but felt like I was on a steady diet of dummy sandwiches.
  21. Sorry, fair point to all posting. I’ve got 20’ish years on the other side of the table. I’ve bought and negotiated acquisitions, software, audits, consulting, hardware, etc. I cringe at generic sales pitches and am the asshole who is often angry when you show up. Without anyone outing themselves, I am genuinely curious what kind of money is being brought home. I’ve got no doubt having a quota is not “fun”, but there is a lot of angst pitched here and i wonder why.
  22. Lots of generalities here. What kind of annual take home are woven into these stories ?
  23. Really good. Stellar acting and chemistry from hoffman and haim. Cooper and Penns roles seemed shoehorned in a bit.
  24. Enjoyed first few seasons, but this current one is embarrassingly terrible garbage.
  25. where did you get the 0.5% hospitalization rate ?
