I have one on my Caddy but only because the trim package I wanted for other reasons only came in a package with a sunroof.... It's nice in the spring and fall in Texas. But nothing I'd go out of the way to get. One downside for me is I can tell it increases the in-cabin wind/road noise.

I don't personally have issues with this idea. But at the same time it breaks some "in polite society" guidelines that are there for a reason. First, it's considered "poor form" to ask a person about : Their age or weight (if they're female) Their worth (if they're male) How many head of...

So...... Just did my initial run on taxes this year. Still needing a few minor documents on interest earned in a few side accounts and whatnot.. But it's looking like I'm going to end up owing somewhere around $7k this year. Could we move the boog up to happen before April 15th?

As somewhat mentioned. If you can foresee it, it's been priced in. Unless it's such an outlier that it doesn't have any viable prospect of happening, then it probably hasn't. But those things are so few and far between we literally call them black swan events.... They're things like "Nuclear...

Yeah, they screw up for me around half the time too.. Still boggles my mind, back in the day when I cared for my massive tanks I used to have (think 15-20 years ago) and I had to run crazy density CF bulbs to do decent plants. With this thing it's insane speed growth. Although I seem to have...

It's easy to have digestible inflation numbers when you don't count food, energy, or housing.

I've had horrible luck with shrimp. I've tried a few times ordering up batches of nicely colored ones.. They all inevitably just vanish (even though Mollies should be that aggro towards them). The only shrimp I've had long term are a couple Amano algae eaters, which I think at least are still...

Seeing people notice this thread made me figure I should do an update... That tank you saw (with the memorial jug) was how it was a while back. it had been running forever with essentially zero effort from me, and I had added those plants you saw in the back. I made one change, I added a...

Well... 12 months from now will be 3 months after the elections. So all the shenanigans pulled to prop up Democrats through the election cycle might be crashing back to Earth about then... So I would see a crash starting around this time next year being a better than zero chance.

I've consistently had sell to covers on my RSU vesting over the past 4 years and inevitably they never sell enough so I keep ending up owing. But that's fine by me since the undersell to cover meant more stock getting more valuable over the year.

Yeah, this was a solid. Then again DC has had an odd history of making pretty damn good animated universe movies, then absolutely flailing in it's live action stuff. The existence of this movie and this version of Flashpoint is what makes the DCEU, and especially the Flash movie, by...

I argue that you can't even really call the Eternals an MCU movie. It was a hail mary to try out "We managed to make a dynasty off C list heroes , I bet we can do it with Z lister's too!"

I had two flights this week for work. And this movie was on the in flight streaming entertainment selection on both. But unlike my December flights where I gave in and watched Blue Beetle.. I was still able to take one look at the poster for this movie and be effectively demotivated from even...

It was an opossum, both black and white, so I'm calling it "mixed race".

For the score/tally sheet.... My pair of half Boxer/Half pits scored another confirmed kill this last week. Not sure which got the kill, but they were throwing the corpse around like a toy at 4am...

Really, he's still the same physical strength and all. But has a much more powerful thing to throw at people. So it's an upgrade, but it's not a massive one.

Tell me you need 6 months to try to un-fuck a pig without SAYING you need 6 months to try to un-fuck a pig...

Had a chance to play for a couple hours on the stress test. First time in and playing. And the Stress Test realm/server setups didn't have the starter tutorial so I had to figure everything out on my own.... With that said, still had a good time, got beaten up some by hail until I figured...

They also want a confiscatory wealth tax... Which assets outside the normal banking sphere could potentially inoculate you from to a degree.

Gold isn't as horrible an idea as silver. For it to break even you only have to go up 5% in value rather than 15%+ for silver if you're buying 1oz rounds.

But if you're looking for physical value stores there are several that don't start you off 15% behind and are also less than easily taxed when passed along. Hell, buy rare collectable guitars, books, etc.

OK. Completely tangential question here, and not even relating to stocks but still involving "investments" Is there ANY real rational reason for someone to ACTUALLY fall for the nonsense they're pandering to the olds to buy physical silver as an investment? I was looking at buying silver, but...

This is close, but in the current post-dot-com-boom era the dance looks more like this.. (saying this from having watched multiple startups go through this cycle) Brilliant people come up with a brilliant product They hire enough sales people with enough sense to build a business model around...

I can attest to seeing this first hand. Middle managers spawning supervisors below them and continuously needing to improve processes which inevitably means hiring more underlings... The company I work at just did a sweep or reorganization and did away with an entire swath of middle managers...

I just take a simpler approach...

This was from an article I read, apparently the conditioner relaxes the fibers of natural fabric such as linen and cotton allowing them to relax and stretch back out to their original size. Once I took it out of the washer I simply put my feet on the bottom of the robe grab my hands at the...

Right now we're around 1 year past the in laws hitting this phase (grandkids were all adult/late teen and not coming over much) so they downsized into a little place.... And I'm starting to hear stories from the MIL which tells me she's missing having a yard for their dog, space of their own...

This is true. But I think we've established this is solid "Stop letting those pesky details stop you from enjoying the show" material at this point.

What are you saying. Kevin Hart needs to be in the next Tron movie.. .as a compression algorithm. Roll with the name Gzip. Or make him the compression utility nobody takes serious and call him WinRar.

Update because I know you people truly care about my robe life.... If you have a cotton/linen item which was shrunk by putting through a dryer... Put it back in the wash on warm, don't add detergent, instead add around 1/4 cup of conditioner (yes, like you use on your hair). Let it run...

At one point I regularly walked to the Wendy's near my work to have lunch multiple times a week because I could sit in that sunroom/solarium area they all had in the sun to eat, while also being in air conditioning because.. well... Texas.

Today my jimmies are being rustled by the downfall of a PERFECT FUCKING ROBE. For x-mas this year @Mrs. Haus got me a new house robe. I've always been picky about robes, to the point I at one point had three robes. One thin linen, one flurry microfiber (for morning warmth), and one terry...

For the Dallas locals...

Yeah, I have a couple friends who are born/raised Detroit people. Dyed in the wool Red Wings/Lions fans.... You'd think they had each just won the lottery talking to them last night. heh And yeah... Jordan Love is the real deal. The Packers have had the most phenomenal possible luck in my...

So... Not to be outdone by their parent network putting a whole playoff game behind a paywall, the local Dallas NBC affiliate cut off the Rams/Lions game with 1:50 to go in the the quarter to cut to BREAKING WEATHER NEWS that a suburb or two north of town were experiencing some light, dry snow...

Nobody remembers that game because NBC put it behind a $6 paywall and that was enough to keep most of the viewers away..... Which I suppose does say something.
