  1. My take on what would be the best way to end the series as far as the major characters go. Episode 3 - Jon’s and the night king’s dragon die fighting each other leaving Jon and the night king on foot. Jon retreats to bran and fights the night king. He wins the fight somehow but when he tries to kill the night king he can’t because there has been no ultimate sacrifice for lightbringer. Jon bran Sansa Arya Jamie Tyrion and dany make it out alive. Episode 4 - this is about their retreat and the realization that the only way the nk can die is by lightbringer. The episode ends with Jon stabbing dany through the heart to restore lightbringer. Episode 5 - battle for Westeros in Kings Landing. Both episode 3 and 5 are directed by the same guy who did most of the shows battle episodes. It makes sense episode 5 is another battle and probably in Kings Landing. Jon kills the night King who then kills him ala Excalibur’s ending where father and son embrace with their swords. Jaime kills Cersei . Hound and or Arya kill the mountain . episode 6 - epilogue. Bran goes north of the wall as the 3 eyed raven. Tyrion sets up a democracy with all nations under their own rule . Jaime is his hand. Sansa rebuilds winterfell. Arya abandons the faceless men. The last scene is Sam aka grrm sitting down in the citadel to chronicle the entire thing.
  2. I’ve never looked it up but I wonder how many takes that took
  3. Of course being a kid at the time makes a huge difference but these are the scenes where I can remember distinctly how I felt at the exact moment even decades later. The millennium falcon flying out of the Death Star as it exploded. when Sam picked up and carried Frodo. The entire sequence of the time out and last shot of Hoosiers.
  4. Don’t ever make me talk to a woman that old again.
  5. Asian with some boob. Asian with some boob. Asian with some boob.
  6. Way too many . I’ve talked my wife into canceling at least one of Netflix or prime so that’s a start.
  7. And here I thought the trump presidency was the last gasp of hatred and bigotry in this country. That decency was finally going to win out . But nope the Democrats are going to eat their young with the now way too overblown metoo movement and all the special dem snowflakes are going to be pissed off come Election Day because the dem candidate offended a random southern middle eastern heritage in a 10th grade essay . They are flipping their shit and going hard left with completely unfundable new green deals when they should be trying to win over the moderate voting bloc. They can’t get out of their own way it seems and trump is going to waltz into a second 4 year term. You think the Supreme Court is conservative now? You think blatant racism and inequality is bad now? Wait until trump get a mandate on all of it with his second term. God damn my party pisses my off. You get what you deserve.
  8. I didnt know how I would react to the conclusion today but I have to honestly say when I read the headlines my first reaction was relief. And that is speaking as a moderate Dem. Im not sure how the country would have handled it had this report concluded Trump colluded with Russia. That said, if you are pissed off, then fucking vote him out of office in 2020.
  9. Sick to my stomach . Will be the first and only time I visit this thread.
  10. It’s time to unplug the internet. The human race is too evil to handle it.
  11. If all of my loved ones have died I wouldn’t mind being shot out of a rocket ship in deep space with 2 days of oxygen and a self destruct button. If we are getting to choose that is.
  12. Keep the picture when it inevitably becomes evidence here in a couple years.
  13. "The first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, the third generation blows it and the 4th generation saves it." I always grew up hearing the "Greatest" generation made it, the Boomers would spend it and the Gen Xers would blow it." They hadnt named the millenniels yet. Like many of you I am a gen Xer.

  15. Any chance Taco Bell still has the chili cheese burrito , the chilito? I would devour those things growing up. Now they are gone. I’ve never tried to order them since . Anyone have any luck with this?
  16. Your friend shares my brain. That is an awesome story and even better way to live.
  17. Yup. For our family, 1.5-2 million should easily be enough . The best advice is to pay off your mortgage and be completely debt free before you even sniff retirement . Our family plan will have an estimated 45-60 k a year from interest / market returns alone plus drawing down our 401k and IRAs at the minimum distribution amount plus about 25-30k a year from social security. Our estimated expenses in retirement are about 20k a year in bills/cash cars/food, 10k a year in travel and 20-40k a year in health expenses even though my wife and I are both considered healthy. It is the principle in our money market accounts that we never hope to touch . That account however will be our emergency fund basically for state of the art cancer treatments only . Medicare does not pay for those until you have exhausted all other options and we will not wait that long . We see no other really reason to ever use that money as everything else should be covered in some form or fashion with Medicare and secondary commercial insurance .
  18. Initially none of them worked for me either for that exact reason. To get around it lower your household income to get to the level of your estimated retirement expenses and then bump up your savings percent to what you actually are saving per month. That will get you where you want to go.
