  1. I saw something like that under a bridge in LA. Homeless guy was walking, stopped, pulled down his sweats and started shitting on the sidewalk. He miraculously did not get any on his pants. That's the mark of someone who's done that before.
  2. Wrong. That would South Austin's mom's underwear.
  3. Looks like the "Fuck Yeah" partner knocked the paddle out of the punter's hand. Not saying he deserved to get knocked the fuck out, but it looked like a case of FAFO.
  4. Seriously. Are they fucking stupid? Who couldn't see this coming? I mean, geez, just look what he did in his first term. Muslim ban within the first month of assuming office, and he's trusted to be friendly to Arabs this time around? F.U.C.K.I.N.G. S.T.U.P.I.D.
  5. What are designer peanut butters? Call me uncultured, but give me a crunchy Jif peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Mix it up every once in a while and use honey instead of jelly.
  6. Yes they’re LED mirrors. I found them on Amazon. They have all sort of sizes. What’s cool now is most of them can change colors from warm to stark white.
  7. And a slight tangent to the renovation post above. The renovation went smoothly. My complaints on the finished product was the floors were higher than original so I need a different threshold; and I didn’t like where he put the towel ring… But I gotta tell you. If you’re a contractor, doesn’t matter how great you’re doing during construction, you need to finish STRONG. He insisted he didn’t need a dumpster after the demo work was done, and he’d just use my regular trash can. It worked okay until he left me 6 bags of trash - mainly packaging, styrofoam and the floor protection paper. I’m driving out to a landfill in a few minutes to get rid of all of it
  8. Completely changing topic, our renovation project is almost done. Just need some shower doors that’ll get here next week. The before… and after…
  9. Hmmm. Yup, let’s take that red pill and I’d marry someone who isn’t so serious all the time. I’m sure the kids will be just fine with their au pair and at boarding school.
  10. Just to clarify, go back to being a 6 YO in 1980? Or stay in 2024 and be 6 years old? If it's the first, the red pill ALL. THE. WAY.
  11. That's not the worst. I was flying home from San Francisco, and some douchenozzle put his fedora up there while 1/2 the plane was still boarding. I took it out and shamed the guy into taking back. He was pissed, but fuck him.
  12. Me, looking at a Total Wine catalog... Her: You don't need to buy any more whisky. Me:
  13. I have a Seiko SBDC051. Absolutely love the watch and it's been my daily wearer for at least the past 3 years very little external wear. The insides are a mess though. It was losing time, and would stop after <30 hours. I took it to a Seiko shop and they guy said the movement was gummed up. He cleaned it and set it to run a tick fast saying it would eventually slow down and keep good time. And for the past 6 months it's been awesome. Kept time really well, maybe gaining 10 seconds per week. But the past 2 weeks it's been gaining about 10-20 seconds per day. I know the 6R15 movement isn't the best, but what could be causing the sudden gain?
  14. Terries? Better keep 'em away
  15. LOL
  16. All the pro-Trump subcontractors I’ve talked will be holding their butts in January. NGL, our SoCal group is struggling a bit because a few projects, about $600M worth were put on hold, because… interest rates. At this point, we might as well just archive those because they probably won’t be back before the next midterm election.
  17. HR is in on the action as well. I’m a mere cog in this big machine. If the senior VPs, and occasionally the division president joins us for drinks, who am I to deny them a pour or two.
  18. Test. Trying to change my avatar to this upside down Jackie Chan. But the software rotates the image so it's right side up. Is the AI overload trying to control me?
  19. That’s great. Teachers at school teaching basic finance. Dad at home teaching them to fight chimpanzees with their bare hands. Sounds like a well rounded education.
  20. Most of the population don't understand the economy or even give a shit. The see what's directly in front of their faces without considering their futures. Lower taxes? Yay! Tariffs on other countries! Fuck yeah! Pay for someone else's IVF treatment? Uhhh... Why not? If Trump follows through with all the campaign promises, the US national debt is projected to go up $7 billion in the next 10 years. This is a lot of fucking money. Fitch's and Moody's already downgraded US debt in the past year. Borrowing more money will downgraded it even more, meaning higher interest rates needed to attract investors. Anyone thinking interest and inflation rates are going down is fucking uninformed. It'll be great for people who have money in the market, and don't have, or have debt at lower interest rates. It'll be a big fuck you to anyone who is trying to buy a car or house, expand their business in the near future. A lot of the people who voted Trump don't have money in the market because they don't know how to think ahead. I'm teaching my 2 kids about tariffs, taxes and interest rates at home. We need to teach finance and economics in school!
  21. I've membership status at Total Wine has been upgraded. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. They've taken a lot of my money the past couple of year as I've bought too much whisky. At this point, I have 20+ bottles, and would take some hard work to power through those if I drank by myself. On a mini-tangent, I've started an unofficial happy hour at the office. I hold my staff meeting every other on Friday at 3PM. It runs 'til about 4PM at which point the ice bucket gets filled and the whiskys and whiskeys starts to flow. It started with just 3-4 people, and now it's about 12 with the VPs joining as well. It's a good time to just kick back for an hour or so to unwind from the week.
  22. The AI image generator used for this picture is terrible.
  23. In short. Most people, not just American are ignorant when it comes to the economy. I'm subscriber to 3-4 economic podcasts. I listen to them in the car and sometimes at home. Other than upper upper management in my company, noone seems to give a shit about where / now things are going.
