    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I've been divorced almost 2 years. My X made almost the exact same as me. I keep the house, she walked with half the equity. With almost the same mortgage payment and just my income, I've increased my savings/ retirement rate from 6% to low 20%, few months ahead on my mortgage and an actual...

    couldn't agree more. i would go further that rewatching almost the entire 'set' of movies (skipped what I can't get via netflix/disney+ and CM), there's just so much tied in. so many statements from Cap and IM that are refrenced in the final 2 Avengers. rewatching it all, while I would love...

    Austin, Texas

    The Drag just isn't the same, Einstein's arcade closing just defines what it's become. not that i went in there for years, it highlights my view of the area. It's hard to make bad BBQ. Texas has a mix of styles, some places have a vinegar sauce, some places don't really smother while it's...

    Amouranth looks off for 2 reasons. her eyes are funky, maybe too close? not quite down syndrome, but there's something weird in her expressions. 2nd, there's a fat kid in there dying to get out. w/ how much moving around she does, her lower body isn't that tight.

    I'd take Mizzyrose over Kay any day. Kay's fake boobs look like no fun, too new to do anything with, too fat apart. Mizzyrose's belong on youporn. Both have voices that are annoying, but that's easily resolved

    I think the selloff degree isnt justified, but I expect the fear to continue. Look back at lcd, ram and hdd shortages and how it impacted tech stocks. This time, its everything. Wedding dresses aren't getting made cause the silk isnt coming over now.

    Disney needed new IPs w/ the coming public domain that will happen to Mickey Mouse & Co. They weren't wrong to gobble up available IPs, they just sucked at making Star Wars profitable.

    In 10 years, self driving will be automatic transmission. Only a few specialty, expensive, cars will offer it. Expect cities to be installing sensors for cars to talk to in 5-8 years. Self driving cars will never hit a red light.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    when I bought my f150, it was considerably cheaper than a similarly spec'ed ram (pretty much base + 4 doors and V8 over V6). The Chevy was closer in price, but i didn't like the interior at all on the Chevy. I love how Ram built tool boxes into the body around the bed, but it's a crazy upgrade...
