  1. Proof that the sanctions are really working. Oi! You can't pahk there.
  2. If I had to wait 10 minutes, I wouldn't mind standing behind her. Tiny, black, uncircumsized. Somewhere in Africa, a pygmy is intruigued. Really? My daughter has been asking for a pair of these because they're the in thing at her middle school.
  3. Infuriating back and forth between my wife and daughter during dinner… Wife: After dinner I need you to do what you’re supposed to do okay? Daughter: What am I supposed to do? Wife: I already told you. Daughter: I don’t remember, can you just tell me? Wife: No, because I already told you so many times this afternoon. At this point, my son jumps in: Mommy, can you tell her what she’s supposed to do? Wife: No, if you’re not going to remember, I’m not going to tell you again.
  4. I’ve been playing more battle royale than any other mode lately because it’s fun AF. I’ve been fortunate with some teammates who are good to very good. I’ve probably played 10-15 rounds and have won 2x.
  5. EZ. Donuts.
  6. Behind a tree. With a she, or is it he? I will not pee into a hole, I will not pee onto mole. It may turn into a motto, but we should all pee in a bottle.
  7. It’s just gonna get stollen.
  8. Watching the game this morning, and you can clearly hear the students yelling. Give ‘em hell, give ‘em hell, MAKE ‘EM EAT SHIT!
  9. At least Charlie Kirk had a hot wife.
  10. Anyone have a live steam that isn’t on YouTube? I don’t have OTA antenna and Disney is blocking every stream on YouTube.
  11. You sound bitter. Go watch another Twilight movie and see if you feel better afterwards.
  12. From the OG home of the real housewives. Texas!!!
  13. Must’ve someone else. I could stand to lose about 5-10 lbs, but health wise I’m doing okay. The calculations you guys came up with are pre-tax. Like I said earlier, my target is $10-12k/month after taxes. Sounds like a lot; but $1k for tithe, $2k for health insurance, $2k for property tax and home owner’s insurance, $1k for utilities and groceries, $1k for auto. That leaves $3K for eating out, entertainment and vacations. There are probably things we can do without. Right now we’re doing fairly well, but between everything I mentioned above, add in kids’ stuff, we’re still watching our cash flow at the end of each month.
  14. Pulling the pin at 59 when my son finishes HS might work. By then we'll be sitting on ~$8M. It should be enough to last us for 20-30 years assuming we we keep our monthly expenses below $10K. But I also want to drink 18 YO whisky instead of 4 Roses, so working 'til I'm in my early 60s doesn't seem terrible.
  15. I was in the field 10 months and not a scratch. Went into the office and got a paper cut my first day. My request for a lost-time incident was denied.
  16. It's cheap for the state. It's not cheap for each individual county. CA has 58 counties.
  17. Look, I hate pedestal type sinks as much as the next guy, but that looks fucking hideous. Who in the right mind says I want a white wall, but can you add something to make it look like black mold is growing everywhere? And didn't anyone tell him that marble is porous and requires a lot of maintenance? Oh yeah... 'Merican jerbs.
  18. Didn't want to CR the Wives Stupid Shit thread, but my wife voted No on California Prop 50 (temporary redistricting to counter Texas gerrymandering). She doesn't like Trump and wants to see him gone, but doesn't want to pay the price for redistricting. Told her sometimes it takes sacrifice for democracy, but nope, she's pretty stubborn.
  19. username is appropriate.
  20. Not sure how many to maintain a data center. But building those things put a lot of construction workers to work especially with other commercial projects drying up. Companies that make electrical transformers, distribution panels, mechanical chillers and air handlers are going gangbusters. Those aren't quite as labor intensive as being on a construction site, but most manufacturers are domestic and can maintain or even raise employment that way.
  21. Can't get up the ramp? Say no more.
  22. Jealous of those of you who can retire early. I'm too conservative to pull the plug until my son gets out of college. By then I'll be 63 and hopefully in good enough condition to enjoy a few more decades. My dad retired at 62 and has been loving the past 23 years - traveling with my mom, visiting the grandkids and watching them grow, writing books. I don't have someone like my mom taking care of me, so maybe I'll kick it a lot younger than him.
