    Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022)

    7.5 / 10 or so, really enjoyed this. I liked the first one, agree the second was very meh, but this movie was my favorite of the three so far, primarily due to it focusing much more on Dumbledore and Grindlewald. Jude Law is great as Dumbledore. Replacing Depp with Mads is obviously a plus...

    If somebody is saving for their first house, I think its better to put some money into 401k, even max it, if company has some form of match. You get more money from your employer, and you can borrow from your 401k for part of your down payment. Some people will say "oh no... don't borrow from...

    Wouldn't look at it that way since those "8-10% inflation" numbers have little correlation with housing prices. Housing prices rose for a decade when inflation was supposed to be super low. Now that real consumer inflation is high and rates are going up it seems most likely that prices are...

    It's a battle between the insane amounts of capital that have been pumped into the economy and rising rates. You have to think the rates will start winning soon though.

    How's that? Not seeing how closing and realtor costs are going to be anywhere close to $400k... But good luck to them getting that price anyways. With rates pushing up over 5% now, getting the numbers people were paying even back in Feb is going to be much tougher.

    Hell, place I moved into 16 months ago would go for ~80% more today. If I had hit the 2 year mark to avoid excess capital gains and was single I'd be all over that to try to turn a quick profit in anticipation of prices dropping. Its hard to imagine the market is not at some local peak right...

    That makes no sense. If they're here, then they know our government knows they're here, and has known, for a long time. The fact that our govt is starting to make some information available to the public doesn't change what our govt has known or has been planning, doesn't change what the...

    Team is very deep when healthy, love watching JK play. Actually, tonight might be the first recent game I can think of where he didn't provide a noteworthy highlight. But his pace of improvement has been astounding. Hoping Wiseman can show some degree of mental improvement over last year...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Couldn't care less about Shazam - it was ok but have had zero interest in watching that movie since first time I saw it. Can rewatch even the bad Snyder movies like BvS. Not the theatrical Justice Leage, but the Snyder cut is fun to flip around in to rewatch parts.

    You're going too far in the other direction. Obviously the price of oil fluctuates regardless of the strength of the dollar as it always has. Supply and demand play a huge role, as well as the perceived impacts of geopolitics on both of those. Dollar printing obviously has some impact, but to...

    Market has already started pricing in 3-4 rate hikes. If it craters it'll be now, but wouldn't be surprised to see S&P pass 5k by end of year. On the flip side real estate has already run so far so fast, can it keep rising? Maybe.. we moved into our house 15 months ago and the price has...

    Curry is a decent player on a nice deal but overall deal is pretty good for the Sixers too... IF Harden can get back closer to his Houston game. The rules aren't reverting back, but I think he'll be a much better fit with that team than the Nets. Both teams got better, scary for the East.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    So i'm guessing you were happy to see the stadium filled with over 50% Niner fans so your team would have a better shot of winning, but as soon as one of them gets knocked into a coma its "YGWYFD" ? What a stupid fucking thing to say.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    For the same reason Brady wanted to - he grew up a 9er fan, wanted to be like Joe, and nothing would be sweeter than capping off his career with a title while wearing the red and gold. I don't think guys like this are looking at the difficulty of the division. They regard themselves as the...

    I said it half in jest. Expecting Lance, hoping for Rodgers. Its not an unreasonable hope since we know Rodgers wanted out - so why wouldn't he want to come home to a fully loaded team. Niners had the same fucking opportunity with Brady and said nah, we're good with Jimmy... Lost another...

    I'd be curious to know how they valued the parts internally.

    Gonna be interesting to see if this one looks like a good value in hindsight 10 years out. Its easy to argue that this is a good time to make an acquisition like this with excess cash because of all the inflation and the fact there are not many good places to put cash (so much already...

    I don't think this reflects some new view that AR / VR won't be as big as they'd hoped. They're probably just admitting that iOS / Android / Windows will still be the dominant OSes and its just a waste of resources to try to create their own OS for this future. Meta still investing tons of...

    Companies aren't pushing console prices higher to squeeze customers, they're doing it to break even. When you look at the power you get a PS5 or Series X vs. a PC at a same price point, either is an absolute bargain. They are taking like no profits on the hardware to try to keep you in their...

    Mostly agree, but we've seen that he can be a big part of a finals team. I think he's not as bad a fit next to KD and Harden / Joe Harris etc - more shooters there. The big thing for him to help his team to be successful is that he needs to shoot less. If he can do that and then focus more on...
