  1. Just got notice that my house in Allandale dropped 14%. Houses here are still selling in 2-3 weeks so it’s crazy to see that big of a decline.
  2. The only promise MAGA gives a fuck about is normalizing their hate. Promise kept.
  3. I never watched it either and tried to a couple of years ago. It was so dated, I couldn't get into it. I bailed before the end of the first season.
  4. Totally forgot that we unexpectedly got the new Avatar trailer in front of F4. Looks like more of the same overblown CGI that’ll be forgotten an hour after it ends.
  5. So, we got the MIL's 401K and IRA moved to inherited IRAs this week. We decided to put $400K in SPYI and enjoy those monthly dividend payouts. We are still waiting on a check for the balance of her state pension. No idea what that amount is but it will be invested in SPYI also. I was wrong about the taxes on SPYI. Dividend disbursements from an inherited IRA are treated as ordinary income instead of qualified so the taxes will be at our regular rate. But, found money is found money. We also just sold her paid off house. We used some of the house money to pay off my car and will buy my wife a new car since her mom said to use some of the money to replace her 2012 Sequoia. The balance is going to our brokerage account and will be invested in VOO. It's crazy to think about now being completely debt free, outside of a mortgage payment, and getting an unexpected $4,000+ boost in monthly income. TLDR: Inherit some money to get your finances in order.
  6. His pedophile attorney probably just instructed him to plead those 3 to any questions to cover his bases.
  7. This was good. It does not feel like a Marvel movie and is definitely its own thing. Much less action than is typical so some may find it a bit boring.
  8. Meh. The average Texas isn't even aware there's a Texas Supreme Court.
  9. Absolutely. A former coworker was in the Longhorn band in the early 80s. To this day, he is still known as Chief Yellow Hands for letting the seniors piss on his hands during freshman hazing. He will take that memory to his grave.
  10. Here's a tip once you get your financial aid package. At CSU, my kid got her merit scholarship for $12,500/year with her admissions letter. But, when she got her financial aid package, she got nothing else even though she'd done the CSU scholarship application and the Engineering Department application. When we were there for orientation, I had her schedule a meeting with the scholarship coordinator in the financial aid office. She went in on her own and asked if there was anything else they could do for her. She talked about how she wanted to lessen the burden on her parents, why CSU was the perfect fit for her, etc. A great BS session. They said they would look but no promises. About 2 hours later, she got an email with a renewable $2,000/year scholarship. TLDR: Have your kid self advocate for more money after financial aid packages are sent out.
  11. My MIL passed away in June and hospice gave my wife a pamphlet on the stages of death that was disturbingly accurate. Granted she was bedridden and had dementia so she was further along than Trump but the thin skin that would tear on touch and bruising from a mild breeze were signs death was 3-4 months out.
  12. Interested in how they hide 11’s fun bags this season or if they decide releasing them in the wild is the correct move for ratings.
  13. A few days ago, I saw a tweet by one of the big MAGA influencers that said that while raping kids is wrong, as Christians they should forgive Trump and keep voting MAGA for the good of the country. If hi res video of him raping and murdering a 3 year old was released, it'd probably increase his support a measurable amount.
  14. I dunno. A 12 year old kicking a raptor's ass with a high bar routine is one of the biggest WTFs in cinema.
  15. A 4.0+ weighted GPA nets you the $12,500/year Green & Gold Scholarship. You have to keep a 3.0 to renew it each year. My kid got that one and another $2,000/year renewable scholarship through CSU. She got the same amount at Mines but the tuition is closer to $50K/year. Didn't get a damn thing from CU. GPA range Scholarship amount per year Percent of tuition and fees the scholarship covers* 4.0+ $12,500 36% 3.80-3.99 $10,000 29% 3.60-3.79 $8,000 23% 3.40-3.59 $6,000 17% 3.30-3.39 $4,000 12% 3.20-3.29 $2,500 7%
  16. I don't get why you don't just destroy all the files unless there are some copies backed up somewhere that the feds can't get their hands on.

    This team has such a loser mentality. Let’s back off the last 10 minutes to preserve that 0-0 draw in the race to the bottom. That’s great.

    Uzuni couldn’t score on the backup goalie in warmup so I wasn’t surprised he missed a tap in from 2 feet.
  19. We checked out the campus when we were in Durango a couple of years ago and it is awesome looking over the town. Two boys from my kid’s class are headed there. They are completely stoked being big mountain bikers and skiers. They’re gonna be living the dream.
  20. They got rid of the drive through mailboxes at the Allandale post office recently. There also used to be one in the hood on Greenlawn but it’s gone too.
  21. Just got home from the Alamo. This was great. If this is the direction the DC is going, it’s really the Guardians of the Galaxy universe and I’m all in. The cast was perfect. Mr Terrific stole show for me. My only complaint is they didn’t release those Brosnahan titties.
