  1. This makes complete sense when I put myself in those shoes as well. Imagine getting your hands on this and the bombshell and emotion and, frankly, the importance and inflection point type ruling. It's a generational bombshell.
  2. Politically speaking, and more specifically looking at mid-terms, how is this in any way helpful to the Republicans? Game it out: 1) This leaks and people are outraged. You continue to rule as you were planning and come mid-terms people turn out to vote against you. Bad outcome for Republicans. 2) This leaks and people are outraged. You change your mind on the ruling because you will lose your suburban women and middle/swing voters for mid-terms. Also you might be seen as weak and waffling so you lose some of the right of center and far right support. Bad outcome? Seems like the leaker had to be someone who didn't want the Republicans to have good outcomes for the mid-terms, or am I missing something?
  3. Bear markets are where you make money. Keep dumping the same amount of money (if not more) daily/weekly/monthly-- whatever your cadence-- and dollar cost average and max everything out and in a few years you'll be ecstatic. Because TINA. Unless in a bear market versus a bull market you all of the sudden don't have access to disposable income to invest, then that sucks.
  4. Exactly my sentiments. Wandavision was weird. But it bubbled up to something that made sense and it ultimately fun and awesome and even moving in parts. Egyptian Gods having as guys in suits as avatars and then having a skeleton bird and alligator fight while a hippo with twitching ears sails a boat on a sea of sand was too Pirates of the Caribbean Disney while the action and story was not enough Marvel. Anyways, good riddance, I guess. On to the next.
  5. It's hard to not hate the Suns. So so hard. Go Warriors.
  6. This is the modern proper etiquette approach.
  7. In the Utah series the 3rd Quarter was where Mavs would turn it on and where they'd win the game. This series is where it seems the game is lost.
  8. Wait why is Luka going back to the locker room intermittently. I think I missed something.
  9. I felt the opposite for the first 30 minutes. When the first scene was the trope of the exhausted politico who has to undue his red tie and pour three fingers of scotch neat and let out a long sigh to let you know he's just exhausted from the intense campaign while watching pundits talk about the latest speech or debate, I involuntarily eye-rolled and thought we were going to get all the trope-y hits.
  10. I'm missing the running joke, I think.
  11. Braces: https://turnbullandasser.com/collections/braces
  12. Based on the series I just saw. I hope not. But seriously, I doubt Moon Knight the character has the popularity and interest as I can't imagine a lot of people stayed with this the entire 6 episodes it was so herky jerky and confusing but not in a smart and good way confusing. And the Egyptian Gods and the Egyptian God angle was lame.
  13. I'm trying to take the long view here as well. It seems like historically when there is a breaking point, either a civil war or a mass pilgrimage/exodus occurs. And we have no new land on earth so...I guess it's either Lord Elon and Twitter on Mars we go or whatever a civil war in the modern era looks like. Probably looks like a proxy shareholder fight and we won't participate but be told what happened.
  14. Am curious as well. Aside from the legacy economic powerhouses (NY/CA/Boston) from where I sit the fastest or most visibly growing economic engines and corporate outposts seem to be in the South with Texas, specifically Austin, and Atlanta (Silicon Peach) leading the way in that growth. And Miami / Florida, it is widely accepted, has become the crypto capital of USA, so interesting to see web3 companies reactions as well (though crypto/web3 has seemed to have gotten a face full of headwind recently so who knows).
  15. Anyone have any dress pant recommendations that come with suspender buttons on the inside (and no belt loops)? I guess it's a bit anachronistic for our work-from-anywhere world today, but sometimes I like to look dapper at ELT type meetings. I didn't even see any at like a Brooks Brothers where you'd assume they'd have some.
  16. Agree on confusing; not sure I agree on the entertaining part. Especially the second half of the series. Felt herky jerky at best. Didn't love the Ethan Hawke character and casting. The end credit screen went a bit of the way to helping to understand the mystery 3rd party.
  17. Saw this today and immediately thought about the conversation last week of how if liberal arts and low ROI-degrees was "means tested" for only those who could afford them, what intangibles would be lost and how fortified in privilege the benefits would further become:
  18. It's the lawyer in you. You are forgiven.
  19. Not Brisket anchoring to a position, extrapolated to an extreme, and stalling out an active discussion through beating the dead horse of making the same point over and over and over and over.... Lay out your point, which you did and it was well stated and we all agree, now kindly move on please, or at least take another number and go to the back of the line if you want to repeat yourself.
  20. At what point does the pre-life become life? Maybe that is where the consensus and law needs to be clear first, as a foundation.
