Obligatory Butters.

Finally watched Madame Web with the family. Like The Marvels, not as bad as reviews would lead you to believe, but still not a good movie. A fair bit worse than The Marvels of you were to subjectively rank them. It seemed like there was a solid base for a movie in there but they just really...

Finally got around to watching The Marvels. Not a great movie by any stretch, likely one of the weakest Marvel movies, but also not nearly as bad as some of the reviews and box office take might lead you to believe.

He's probably living in the flood tunnels under Las Vegas.

Spotify keeps turning off the shuffle on my rock Playlist.

In what should come as a surprise to no one, SEC has charged BF Borgers with "massive fraud" and permanently banned them as serving as an accountant. Links widely available on news site of your choice.

Yeah guys, there wouldn't be so many teachers sexually assaulting children of we were all more religious and trusted our kids with the priests, who would NEVER sexually assault children.

A common verbal illustration: If you received $1 every second of every day it would take about 11.5 days to get a million. It would take about 31 years and 8 months to get a billion.

My brother in law is 28 and went to EMT school recently after working several years as a ski patrol medic and paramedic. Most of the other kids in the EMT program were 5-8 years younger than him. They all called him Boomer.

I've tried the whiskey. There's a drink my wife likes it in, root beer and vanilla vodka I think. I think it's gross, like completely undrinkable in any form.

I finally, after all these years, watched The BFG. 6/10, tops. That makes it probably the best Roald Dahl movie in my opinion. I never read his books growing up, any of them, so I don't have any sentimental childhood memories attached at all. The original Willy Wonka is OK, maybe on par with...

I think we've seen plenty of examples that prove in the MAGA mind there is Trump and there is everyone else.

It's a 12 month prohibition. But the interesting thing is the final rule essentially defines a non-compete agreement as something that prevents a worker from being employed by another person when the worker's first employment ends. It's actually super generic language. That's what lead to my...

IANAL but skipping the 562 pages of preamble and reading the 2 or so pages of actual regulation has prompted a question: does the FTC have oversight of public/municipal employers? If yes, then my state's ethics law on jumping ship from a regulatory body to a regulated entity looks to be gone...

Link Oh yeah, he's doing a real good job.

Perhaps a bit off topic for this thread but maybe not. I watched and enjoyed season 1 of Invincible. I haven't gotten around to season 2 yet. Apparently season 3 is being surreptitiously animated by North Korea through Chinese front companies. Link

The thing with a bond is that it's essentially good so long as the conditions are met. Unless the holder of the bond physically gives it back or destroys it then it can still be called. My understanding is that if the AG's motion is successful then the judge will likely rule that the conditions...

Sorry, yes, I misunderstood the statement.

10 years old should be around 5th grade in the US.

Was it just my browser or did that site not actually show the names of the movies in the sideshow? Kinda hard to have a takeaway of "Ooh, I need to see this movie!" if you don't know what the movie is. Having said that, Edward Scissorhands being #2 on the list kinda invalidates the rest of the...

Finally got through Secret Invasion. I didn't think it was as bad as most reviewers said it was, but it wasn't by any means very good. I do have to commend the makeup artists because somehow they managed to make Emelia Clarke look something other than gorgeous.

I watched episode 1 of Fallout. It was OK, not great. I've played some of Fallout 4 (though never finished it) so I have some passing familiarity with the story but my wife had no idea what was going on and needed a 5 minute primer on the backstory. I'm hoping it gets better but I've seen some...

The cartoon is really good. The Netflix version is not. I can see why the show creators walked away from the project. I don't think I can point out a single change that Netflix made which resulted is a better show; every deviation was for the worse. I also found several of the casting choices to...

I finished the live action Avatar. The rest of the season didn't get any better. I stand by my 2/10.

That's pretty common around here, we get several wind- related tip overs every year.

My state has TWO, one each run by the Executive and Legislative.

Reached 120 months back in March, immediately put in the final paperwork, and today received official notice that my $80k in undergrad and grad school student loans is now $0 thanks to PSLF.

Eh, this really isn't a fraud situation, it's more like pushing the boundaries of insurance law. To begin with, typically government entities require sureties to hit a minimum rating from AM Best or a similar rating agency. An AM Best rating is comprised of two parts, a letter grade and a...

I get the feeling that the left feels the same way about Lieberman that the right does about McCain.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that this particular release had Denuvo. I just thought I remembered a Street Fighter release or something having undisclosed Denuvo. Thought it was relevant in the context of previously undisclosed microtransactions.

Isn't Capcom known for using programs like Denuvo and not disclosing that fact? Or am I mistaken?

Thank you! That essentially confirms what I was pondering.

I did not underwrite court bonds, I was mainly in construction payment & performance. The surety I used to underwrite for was a subprime surety and they charged 2.5%. The large, traditional sureties used a sliding scale that started around 1.5% and went down as the bond face went up, to where...

Doing some theory crafting and getting up to speed on newer gear and a question came to mind about the Thermaltake Tower 300 case. All of the reviews and builds I've seen use 420 rads on AIOs since the case will fit one on the right side. In order to do that the radiator is mounted with the...

Found a new Sapphire 7900xt on Amazon for $522.

As a former surety underwriter I will say that it's my understanding most of the "big boy" traditional sureties won't touch real property collateral even for well qualified clients because the legal hurdles and liquidation values are just too unpredictable, even with "airtight" contracts. As...

I tried watching Dune in preparation for watching Dune and then Dune 2. It's, wow, it's garbage. I mean, I've watched some shit movies in my time and while this is no Observe and Report level of garbage it's in the bottom tier of movies I've seen. I don't get it at all.

Gretzky is no Garvey.

Trump has so many Black men voting for him that it makes Steve Garvey jealous.
