    Home Improvement

    Today's quickie project... A new front patio on the house. Leveraging these drop and click tiles I picked up on Amazon : Front patio on our house is concrete. We're gearing up for painting the whole house so I've been sanding/stripping/prepping some and got fed up with the concrete patio...

    Doom Patrol

    Honestly, they're sticking pretty solidly to the level of "queer/diverse" that the Morrison Doom Patrol run in the comics was. But in his case it almost always furthered the story instead of being there for social awareness points. Danny was just as queer in the comics, for instance. This...

    Doom Patrol

    I think it's SuperHero burnout. Look at the decline is success Marvel is starting to see. Movies in this last "phase" of the MCU in no way outdid the phase ending with Endgame and Infinity War. And they all know it. Some will claim that it's "Oh they went woke!" but in reality they've mined...

    Doom Patrol

    Sucks to hear about the cancellation. At least we'll get a full last season. But I saw this coming, as some have mentioned we have reached "Peak Super Hero Media" and are now in decline on it. And as much as I hate to admit it, IP like Doom Patrol is the esoteric fringe comic book stuff...

    That clears up a little but I already knew about the tax considerations, not to mention on this type of title transfer the "cost of the house" is usually listed as something like $10. I'm just really trying to make sure I get the right form to submit, which are surprisingly tricky to find...

    OK, home buying adjacent question here. Bordering into something I already know I'll probably need to engage a lawyer for. The scenario : The house my grandparents bought in 1956, where my mother, uncles, and myself were all raised in, is in a living trust under my grandmother's name (now...

    I can attest to this with field research. Due to an unexpected hospital trip for a relative recently I hit the Whataburger near my house at an hour I never go in anymore (around 10pm) to get some food. Apparently the night hiring manager has a thing for chesty blondes... Possibly related?

    Am I insane that right now cash inflows I have are piling up because I can't see any smart place to put money if I plan on it being there for a year? (i.e. I'm not one of you wacky day traders. heh)

    Profiting from corporate acquisitions as a key employee

    Ah yes.... I still remember. The favorite place I have ever worked was destroyed because the guy who owned the company and was a great guy and good leader, was unfortunately also just a little too full of himself and thought he could outplay a PE firm at their own game. But as the says...

    Guessing good ol fashioned Lisinopril... In India they have what they call the "middle age man combo" which is a pill which combines Lisinopril, Furosemide (water pill), and some Statin for cholesterol. It's something like .02 a day for it over there.

    Yes, except that Musk has also initiated a huge "insourcing" and "in-office" movement. This would indicate to me that he would have whatever moderation with a pulse staffed at the HQ, not remote contractors. I do agree that he will push for a far more leaning agnostic automated moderation to...
