  1. That’s gonna be me today. Gotta do a little work, but also stayed up too late sipping tequila with friends and going out for a hike this morning. Ain’t getting shit done today.
  2. They were outside my favorite liquor store and I walked right past them. $20 for popcorn vs $160 for sweet sweet whisky. No contest.
  3. I seasoned my skillet and griddle in 30 minutes after sanding to metal. Throw on hot grill, wipe thin layers of grape seed oil, let it smoke, rinse and repeat. The photo doesn’t make it look all that, but its smoove. Bottom could use a few more layers, but I’m happy with what I got after < 30 minutes.
  4. How did he get the strap on the other side of the axle? Is he a wizard?
  5. Slightly off topic, but this thread seemed the most appropriate. So the wife and I make decent money between salary, bonuses and stock. We max out our 401ks and we put another chunk in another account. My wife and have a few nice things, but total maybe $25-30K which includes her engagement ring. I’ve always wanted a weekend convertible, but the thought of insurance, gas and maintenance give me pause. My BIL says I’m worried about those things before I even change the oil for the first time. 🤣 I suppose he’s right and I should enjoy life a bit more, and not just worry about retirement. We could probably do retire in 5-10 years if we’re willing to dip into savings, but my goal is to only live off of interest and dividends. So, curious for those of you on the FIRE path if you’re treating yourself along the way
  6. AT THE SAME TIME!
  7. She could blow everyone who's looked at the post in the past hour.
  8. I have emailed documents (from my PC) to myself, just so I can have it on my iPhone and print from it. I don’t know what they’re doing at Apple, just know they are making my life a whole lot easier.
  9. Sam didn’t make the roster. He was last person cut. The QB2 for Denver is pretty good so maybe he wouldn’t have ever gotten on the field. Maybe some team with a shitty backup will claim him off waiver.
  10. From 0:25 on Also. Tell me it's Carnival without telling me it's Carnival.
  11. My kids and I salt our food when Mrs. Superhero cooks.
  12. Y'all are welcome to move to California. Need some good alumni to watch football with.
  13. I went on a walk with my parents towards the regional park by my house. We hear someone honking and turn around to see this kid on an electric bike getting people out of his way. He rode by at 20 mph and went straight into the regional park. At that time of day, there are a lot of people there with their dogs and kids. Fucker. I want e-bikes to be banned. Period. If they aren't banned, then I hope those idiots don't buckle the straps on their helmet and ride full speed into a tree.
  14. Yeah, that looks totally safe. Boy at the 10 second mark probably learned his lesson to strap his helmet.
  15. I watched Empire Strikes Back as a kid, and could have sworn that when Luke jumped off the platform, Darth Vader used the force to lift him back onto the platform, but let him go when Luke jumped again. I was 5 at the time, so I did not knowingly smoking dope or drop acid. Weird.
  16. You could have just said Nissan. The rest is implied.
  17. Went out for lunch today to see these 2 yahoos parked next to me.
  18. When I used to sweat under the sun for a few hours, I'd jump in the shower with 2 cans of cold Meeeeeller Laht. Drinking in the shower is under-rated, and should be done on a semi-regular basis. In fact, I will move some shampoo bottles to make room for beers later tonight.
  19. In Taiwan, they actually have professional cryers at funerals. I suppose families thought the louder you cry, the more you loved the deceased person. For my grandmother's funeral, my aunts ponied up for a professional funeral cryer who wailed into a microphone for an hour - sobs, moans, "grandma, why did you have to die, etc.". It was annoying as fuck.
  20. We have a really nice outdoor space at my office. Nice enough that people will come here to take engagement, wedding, resume pictures standing in front of trees. I'm working outside because it's an icebox in my office. The outdoor speaker has played 3 Phil Collins / Genesis songs in the past hour. This makes me happy.
  21. Dog made the wrong decision. She's not that hot.
