  1. I probably wouldn't since my son was born when I was 24 and I have no idea if this is a divergent timeline or not. But, in the past, I've thought about this kind of situation way too much for a normal person, (but only along the lines of a one-way, Days of Future Past trip to my younger body), so I'll play along. Because my parents redshirted me in kindergarten, I was a sophomore at TCU when I was 20. 1. You can recover from your less-than-stellar freshman year, you just need to learn how to study and how to write. You can best learn the latter by reading as many Bryan Garner books as possible and taking the advice to heart. The former is best achieved by doing your assignments as soon as possible and using the syllabus to get ahead. Use your knowledge of later course work to formulate questions for class and office hours. Learn the Pomodoro technique for regular studying. Yes, that's P-O-M-O-D-O-R-O. 2. Drinking is largely a waste of money, though scotch can be very nice. Don't bring alcohol to girls, especially underage ones, hoping to get some. You don't need it. If she needs it to fuck you, she's not really into you. You won't lose anything by not fucking her. And avoid drunk girls. Having a clean record and conscience in 20 years is worth it. Why? Think Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas but worse. 3. Don't take German and prob & stats with (blonde girl you've known for ever who, unbeknownst to you, is a newly enrolled freshman). Take Chinese and Calculus 3 with your buddy. Her ex transfers in next year and she is unavailable by the time you figure out she might have interest. Plus the study of vectors in Cal 3 sets you up for a better time in prob & stats, mechanics, and electrostatics. Buy Div, Grad, Curl, and All That, since you suck at Cal 3. Take symbolic logic under math, not philosophy to help fill out your hours for the math double major. 4. You're not fat, just a little overweight and out-of-shape. Here's how you cook and eat. (Ten minute digression.) Here's how you work out. (Another 10 minute digression.) 5. Following up on the last issue, you have a disproportionately long torso and wide feet. (Five minutes explaining clothing and shoe sizes and what actually looks good on you.) 6. (Ten minutes explaining various health, physical and mental, issues and maladies.) 7. (Ten minutes naming names.) Your future wife is X. She's at school at Y. She'll get a job at Z school after school. 8. (Ten minutes talking about career and academic interests and goals.)
  2. How about the Iron Bank hired the Golden Company to betray Cersei? It would be a better fit in explaining the Iron Bank representative's comments about slavery to Cersei. The Braavosi do not deal in slaves.
  3. She's tired and wounded. She was fine sneaking around until there were too many dead and she was spotted. Once that happened, well, a short, tired woman won't always be able to out-run the dead. That's when the panic set in. After a breather, she got over it.
  4. My extended family uses group texts. Two of my cousins, female twins in their early 30s, cannot figure out that they should check the recipients before clicking send. They just find the most recent group text with some of the needed participants, type, and hit send. It doesn't matter if it isn't relevant to half the people on the text.
  5. Her body looked a lot like the body from her rocky beach nude photo shoot. It also looked CGI. Regardless, the combo of the childlike face and the hot bod was quite disturbing. “The dead are already here,” seems like foreshadowing. I’m thinking Jon goes Azor Ahai on dead Dany.
  6. YouTubeTV will now have HGTV? Guess I won't be able to get rid of it once my wife finds out.
  7. I have: 1. Amazon Prime 2. Amazon Drive 3-4. Nintendo and Playstation subs. 5. YouTube TV. 6. Apple Music. Twice a year, during the Xmas and Summer breaks, I re-sub to Netflix. While GoT is running, I re-sub to HBO via Amazon.
  8. If I have problems with my Zenni glasses, my optometrist will check them for free. If there's an issue, Zenni has an easy return policy that I have used more than once.
  9. It's land so it's not depreciable. It doesn't sound like stock in trade. It also doesn't sound like it was used in a trade or business. So it would appear to be a 1221 capital asset. You're probably thinking of 1231 gains treated as capital for other types of assets.
  10. If it is all capital gains, invest the proceeds in a Qualified Opportunity Zone fund.
  11. It is currently unborked for me on Safari/iOS.
  12. IOS Safari now works, but only in landscaped mode.
  13. She should have received a notice by now is a key point. If her finances are so disorganized, there is no real way to tell what is going on without pulling her IRS transcript. If she won't owe, it might be better to extend 2018 and then hire someone after April 15th to look at her transcript and file her 2018 taxes.
  14. Here are some screenshots from this morning and last night.
  15. Yeah, it is intermittent now. I’ll post a screenshot tomorrow if it’s still doing it
  16. iOS Safari site is borked. It looks like it is the score thing, it compresses the post text to a single, vertical line.
  17. You can take 179 on a residential rental, but just for 1245 property, not for HVAC. That was one of the TCJA changes.
  18. I was surprised that they didn’t look her up and find out she was Gordon’s ancestor.
  19. My wife is a teacher and we've been binging The Wire, which is the first time she's seen it. Yesterday she told a student "to stop acting like a corner kid."
  20. I use Waze to take my kid to school. It's only a little over two miles, but it allows me to avoid traffic jams along the usual route. Sure, that's only once a year, but it's better than him being late.
  21. It is the CEO of a packaging company. See page 36.
  22. It is still unresponsive if I'm logged out. If I log in on mobile via the button at the bottom of a thread, the menu starts working if I tap on it. IOS 12.14, iPhone 7+, Private mode enabled on Safari.
  23. Signing in is borked in IOS again. It was fixed, but now the sign-in menu on mobile is non-responsive. I have to click into a thread to sign in.
