  1. I would hope every camp in the country has disaster planning front and center on their brochures going forward but fuck it, letting Jesus take the wheel is much cheaper.
  2. This was probably the 2nd best after the original. Low bar, I know. The first 20 minutes felt exactly like an early 90s Spielberg movie. Had all the same beats, cinematography, and music from the OG. As in all JP movies, the kids absolutely suck. No one deserved death more than Xavier and his girlfriend. Other than the big bad mutant confrontation at the end, all the dino encounters were great.
  3. I've been getting the Kamado Joe lump at Lowe's for a few years now. I used to get Cowboy but every bag started having metal and rocks in it.
  4. Tesla is a shitty automaker and that fact (unlike others) doesn't hurt their sales.
  5. I really wish they'd stop trying to make Glen Powell happen. He's as milquetoast as they come. All I could think of how much better that line "I'm going burn this whole building down" would be if the roles were reversed and it was delivered by Josh Brolin.
  6. So, I've been researching this every single day for going on two weeks. I'll eat crow and admit I am changing my tune. My MIL recently passed away and my wife inherited all her assets. Since we want to minimize taxes on the inherited retirement funds, she is moving her mom's retirement to an inherited IRA. You have to drain it completely within 10 years but can do it on any schedule you like. We are putting a nice chunk in SPYI so that we can enjoy that dividend income. We will use it to offset my daughter's out of state tuition, which aligns perfectly with what my MIL would like since she was an instructor at ACC. SPYI dividends are also qualified so they're at the 15% rate which is also nice. When we retire in 6-7 years, we will not draw our own retirement until she cashes in the inherited IRA to minimize our total income and taxes those first couple of years.
  7. What party is going to have the ball sack to do that? The Dems? They're going to save us?
  8. Agreed. Unluckily, there’s just the house, a bank account, a pension, and a 401K for assets. Luckily, there’s no debt at all. The funeral home said a week for the death certificate so closing shouldn’t be delayed at all. My wife was already a co-owner on the bank account. The 401K and any pension payout will be rolled into an inherited IRA for my wife. The timing works for our retirement in 6 years so that we could not draw our own retirement and just takes the required payout from the inherited IRA to minimize taxes that year. The title company already sent updated documents for my wife to sign. I emailed at 9pm and it arrived at 7am. They must really want to get paid.
  9. I liked it but the ending simultaneously ties up a few loose ends and is tonally WTF. It is a much smaller movie than the trailers lead you to believe. Also, after you watch it, you’ll understand why the porn parody will be called 28 Inches Later. Samson must’ve been splitting ladies in half with that hog.
  10. It was filed with the county clerk. By execute, I just mean that I have to provide a death certificate for the transfer to happen. The title company is in the loop.
  11. As durable power of attorney, my wife is selling her mom’s house. It is under contract with closing scheduled for late July. The kicker is her mom just passed away. There is a transfer on death deed that will transfer the property to my wife. My question is, can she proceed with the sale as the POA or do we have to execute the TOD deed prior to sale?
  12. Please include The Flying Spaghetti Monster's "The Eight I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts" 1. Don't be a sanctimonious jerk: Don't act superior or judgmental about others' beliefs. 2. Don't use my existence to oppress: Don't use religion to harm or control others. 3. Don't judge people based on appearance: Treat everyone with respect, regardless of how they look or dress. 4. Don't engage in harmful behavior: Don't do anything that would offend yourself or a consenting adult. 5. Don't build temples: The FSM doesn't want extravagant displays of worship. 6. Don't put people in cages: This is a more direct call to action against oppression. 7. Don't work too much: Prioritize happiness and well-being over endless work. 8. Don't censor things: Encouraging open discussion and freedom of thought.
  13. From what I've read, the manual stuffer is the way to go though. My grinder will do it, and I got a cheap foot switch to control things. So I'll probably try that first since I have it. But looking down the road, the manual route may be the way. Shitty video quality but you don't need equipment...
  14. She's 18 so it's in her own Roth. Yes, She made $9K so she (I) could contribute the full $7K.
  15. My concern is that a lot of these high dividend funds just haven't been around long enough to get a good sense of true performance. Maybe when I retire in 7 years, I'll completely change my tune and move a large amount into SPYI, for example. I just have a hard time doing it with only 2 1/2 years of data available for back testing.
  16. They should be laser focused on places like Colorado where you don't necessarily have water rights to land you own. You can buy raw land there relatively cheap when there are no water rights included. If the product performs as advertised, there's potentially a decent market there. The kicker is how much is the water output tied to relative humidity. Are the output numbers assuming Texas coast humidity of 80%?
  17. My kid got her first part-time job in '24. I didn't tell her but I started a Roth IRA for her and contributed the full $7,000. I will do that every year until she graduates college. That'll be her college graduation gift.
  18. Dividend income isn't free money. I'd rather just invest in solid index funds and withdraw my 5% a year. Funds that just chase ever increasing dividend payouts generally underperform index funds.
  19. Why cater to him? Let him leave and be left out of the decision making process.
  20. This was meh. It was the same scene recycled, what, 3-4 times? Go meet with and renege on the original deal. Offer new terms. Get denied. Something weird happens. Agree on new terms. Rinse and repeat.
  21. The school consolidation virtual open house is next week. We are all getting proper fucked with this. If you filled out the school consolidation survey a few weeks ago, there were several questions that tried to trick you into agreeing to consolidate your home school. Im sure they’ll pull out that data to show we want this.
  22. Kolaches & Klobasneks down in Shiner-Hallettsville-Yoakum are better than any place in West.
