    The Bear

    Well, I need to be in the right mood to watch it because it's constant, frenetic anger. But that does actually change a bit in the second season and there is a lot of character growth. I'd say it's worth powering through but I can understand why someone would find the themes tired and hard to watch

    Some people will live a long time in assisted living scenarios, others will never even need assisted living at all. Some people will have paid huge sums into it because they are high earners their whole career, others will have paid very little into it at all. As a social fund it's been...

    You get your T levels tested by actual doctors, if low, actual doctors give you T injections and monitor your levels. And you feel like a fucking man again. It's not a joke, or weird, or a scam, and once you start feeling like a man again you'll probably start reinvigorating yourself with...

    The real numbers are valuable and I think contribute a lot, even though most people are shy about such things, and since you posted: Merrill Lynch is garbage and I have to actually watch my contributions manually or they will over contribute, so I try to get as close as I can to max without...

    It's a 401k so yes, bi weekly contribution Keep in mind that's starting from 0 and includes employer contribution match Starting from 0 makes, obviously, a huge difference.

    Why is anyone arguing with someone who's position is that because he beat the S&P over a 5 month period in 2024 he's proven his track record?

    I love that Ryan Reynolds is getting rich through social experiments. All the armchair experts acting like it's so simple, "All Hollywood needs to do is XYZ and they'd be printing money but they're too fucking stupid" And Ryan Reynolds is literally just saying "Challenge accepted" and printing...

    If someone asked me why invest in SPY I'd just say because it's up 90% in the last 5 years and it makes me immune to emotional stupidity. I can be lazy, complacent, or even just ignore it altogether and still make great returns with proven success over a long time horizon.

    Kinds of Kindness (2024)

    That looks kinda interesting. Pretty sure Emma Stone is a full blown addict of some kind these days. Jesse Plemons plays these kinds of roles so well I do kinda wanna see it

    Well, ya see, sometimes actors need to fit the role the writers created. This looks fun.

    Best Covers

    This might be my favorite cover of all time, because if you didn't know this was a Black Sabbath song you'd probably think this was the original. It's like a time machine

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I really like Blitzen Trapper. I think there are still a lot of bands that have actual talent for songwriting, they just kind of get lost in the noise. But these guys write a lot of really great songs. And they're mostly, really simple.

    If you sous vide a chuck roast for long enough (36+ hours) it does actually taste like prime rib. It just takes a really long time.

    So, this show sucks and does not at all "scratch that itch". However, apparently both Baki and Kengan were popular enough that Netflix is releasing a crossover series "Baki Hanma vs Kengan Ashura" that airs on June 6th. Also kinda weird since Kengan Ashura is not done yet

    The fat, and connective tissue need time to render and break down. Grilling a chuck roast to medium rare and then slicing it like prime rib is... well it's really unappetizing

    Path of Exile

    The amount of loot is nonsensical to the point you get desensitized to loot in general. When so much drops that it crashes the client, and even the server. Or causes massive performance degradation, it might be time to adjust your philosophy on loot as a developer

    It becomes harder to watch mostly because several of the characters become insufferable cunts. But Amos stays awesome at least.

    He waited until he was in his late 30s, presumably, to buy his first house, and apparently used to make even more money. That story doesn't seem real based on just those 2 pieces of information. Sounds a lot like a bait story to stir the pot on the internet.
