Not to be macabre, but hey, the reality is we all die one day. Whether you've had a recent health scare (like me) or just want to be proactive to protect and help your loved ones, I thought I'd start a thread to crowdsource tips, gotchas, risks around this and share what I'm doing now: Long story short I had a health scare recently that forced me to face mortality. I have a young family and am relatively young (though I well into being a man according to Mike Gundy) and so the stress of dying is actually more about leaving my family capable and comfortable more than my leaving the earth. Luckily I was smart or dumb enough to take out a sizable life insurance policy when I was young and healthy, cheap term life insurance that pays out a few million. I have a bit of savings across a few different accounts. I've bought one of those "I'm dead now what" journals and started writing in all the website details, username, log-ins, etc. to help in case of an untimely demise, along with downloading all policies and files and putting them in a convenient folder and dropbox. What else should I be thinking of? I need to update my will, any recommendations there? If I have a timeframe I know I will pass within (if prognosis turns bleak, for example), should I be proactive about selling the big house they can't afford without me and downsizing and getting some more liquid for the short term? Has anyone pre-bought a funeral service? Any recs there?

In like Matt Flynn!

I had to replay this 4 times to catch it. It's like a magic trick.

Just binged this with my teenage daughter. She and all her friends at school have been talking about this. Thought it was silly fun. We are in for a Season 2 if they do it. Watching this inspired me to watch Addams Family Values and thought that was pretty good too.

Thread title is a trick question. No such thing exists as "Trustworthy mechanic". Ask this question to chatgpt AI bot and it will explode rendering the billion dollar investment into that tech useless.

Sorry for partying. Y'all didn't have to hit me in the face though.

I just voted yes to step down, looks like he is losing 57/43

Interesting, I'll check it out. I just watched the Disney Pixar film, Good Dinosaur, for the first time. I'd long heard it panned, but my son and I loved it. Best "new" Pixar film I've seen in years.

Gotta hand it to this crowd, you guys know how to make a sad situation funny.
