    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Seems like this is to be expected during the holidays. Lots of people taking time off and vacationing and crypto, especially BTC, doesn't seem like the type of investment many people are going to set and forget. I'd imagine a fair amount of people pulled their money out while they'd be away...

    Im sure mayo on a meatball is tasty, if it isn't slathered in marinara and mozzarella.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I was just at a local sandwich place to pick up some dinner and the guy in front of me ordered a Meatball Parm sub with mayo and mustard.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Do you honestly think JJ Abrams can write a coherent, full story? The guy is an idea man. He is not a storyteller. His stories fucking suck. They start off interesting and then nothing ever happens until they just hamfist some shitty ending onto it (if he even sticks around to actually write the...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    No, the explanation for that is these movies are written terribly and everything that happens in them happens due to pure convenience. This way the writers don't have to bother telling a story that is even slightly compelling.

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    These blockchain companies are literally the next tech bubble. Blockchain is not complex or difficult from a tech standpoint but it's one hell of a buzzword now and everyone wants in. There are going to be so many overvalued companies in that space and then it's all going to come tumbling down...

    Investing General Discussion

    30 year term on the mortgage? If you have the liquidity to pay it down significantly I would just refinance to a shorter term (10yr preferably) which should also drop the rate about half a percent. You'll have to pay some fees but those would be recouped fairly quickly as you hit your principal...

    Jean-Claude Van Johnson

    Seems like a result of him spending way too much time in the sun with no sunscreen on. Reminds me of all the old ladies on Long Island who spent their entire youths tanning. They look like old leather once they hit around 50.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Well for a true, traditional pot roast I'd probably go with the old fashioned dutch oven. Not a fan of doing slow cooker pot roast and throwing veggies in all at once for such a long time. If the bigger cuts don't come out so good in the instant pot I guess I wouldn't want to throw a full chuck...

    Re-watching this movie to find subtleties and nuance you missed the first time around would be like staring intently at a donkey waiting for it to turn into a thoroughbred.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'm pretty much at the same point, though I think if I end up getting an instant pot I can just throw my slow cooker into storage because the only thing I ever really use it for is pork shoulder and chuck roast/brisket and it seems like the pressure cooker can do just as good a job in 1/8th the...

    I watched it a few days ago. Worth a watch. The ending is predictable and stupid but other than that it's got a good cast and is pretty funny.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    All of this actually sounds worse than what we got. Especially the "Snoke trained all these other guards to be as powerful as Kylo, the kid everyone was talking about having the most raw strength ever seen".

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Ernst and Young has a bitcoin ATM and has given all their employees BTC wallets. They even accept BTC as payment, for example. I'm sure drug dealers still accept it as payment. It's a money maker. Just like I'm sure those drug dealers accept USD (just not over the internet). But Monero scales...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Nah. BTC has some legitimate uses now, but the price isn't driven by illegal activities anymore. It's driven by supply/demand of BTC as an investment vehicle. It's become an asset. Monero is where the criminals have moved.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Like I said. I don't think this is solely Rian Johnson's fault. I have a feeling he was pushed to make exactly this movie. Disney owns the IP and suddenly we get what felt almost like a Star Wars themed Despicable Me. That's how much comic relief there was in the movie and how far it took the...

    I agree. This movie was actually worse than the prequels.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    No, he's right about that being pointless comedic relief. Every scene that could have been dramatic and powerful was dumbed down with unnecessary comic relief. Every. Single. One.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    There is one thing that everyone in this thread agrees on. Their kids loved it. I'm pretty sure that's what Disney wanted. They probably even asked Rian Johnson to write a script for kids, not for adults. You hook the kids and the parents have to go see it anyway AND you sell more toys.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Let's talk about some of the really great scenes from the movie. One that gave me that warm, fuzzy feeling and really put me in the Christmas spirit was Finn exclaiming that he had no regrets.... about freeing the alien race horses.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Finally got around to seeing this tonight. This was a high budget B movie. It was objectively bad. Every other scene had some form of terrible, cheesy comedic relief and it followed the TFA formula of "Here's a problem, OOOOH HERE'S A SUPER CONVENIENT SOLUTION!". Terribly written and it was...

    So you're calling your teen girl squad in to defend you? "Where are my friends who agree with me?!" Mask it however you want, it's just racism. This is not today's political discourse, this is a movie. Can you not tell the difference between the two? Racist connotation should elicit that kind...

    It's too much of a stretch because you need comic books to be based in reality?

Sorry Frenzied, you're just a racist piece of shit...

    Not any heavier than that episode of FMA where you find out the scientist turned his wife and kid into those dog monstrosities with forbidden alchemy. And that was his own family.

    Godless

    You're already asking for spoilers. The show isn't all that far-fetched or full of plot armor as your initial thoughts may lead you to believe. There are some details that are a bit silly for the sake of the story but it's not Walking Dead levels of stupid. Not even close.

    Yes dirk, like many other people on planet Earth I get annoyed and upset when someone turns their nose up at me. And I find your Facebook Housewives(tm) style of discourse to be both irritating and regrettable.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My rebuttal would be: 1) This is a concern with any relationship. How many people in this very thread have come to the realization that their marriages and long term commitments have been lopsided and unreasonable? This isn't exclusive to casual sex. Does it happen? Sure. Just like it happens...
