    The Expanse

    Ukerric you're batting pretty shitty in the spoiler department lately. You totally dropped the ball on the Charles Stross books in the book thread by divulging the entire plotline to a book I had just started reading. Get it together man!

    Home buying thread

    Saw two houses on Sunday afternoon. Put an offer on one of them, as it had the exact kind of interior I liked and I wouldn't have to waste any time/money remodeling shit to get it how I like. Will be pretty sweet if I can get it for $185k.

    Considering I usually use the pool at like dawn. Its never been an issue anywhere I lived that had one. Post 0430 run dunk in the pool is the best.

    Seeing some properties next week. I have a pre-approval letter that I printed out at various amounts. Going through USAA for the VA loan, and I have a Real Estate Advocate (not sure what this guy does) and a USAA 'approved' realtor assigned to me. Looking for the usual 3/2: 1. Near Schools...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My crazy latina ex is still terrible with money. Despite making excellent salary (~$100k) just like me, and to boot working in tax management/wealth management for a career. Everything is/was about money to her. The moment we broke up her finances went to shit because she is so utterly unable to...

    God damnit Aladain. This is not making me want to buy in the Austin area now. But at the same time I absolutely hate how much the Edward Jones investment account I had since I was 18, haven't put a dime in since 2009, but fucking KILLS me in taxes every year.

    After being nomadic and loving it the past 11 years. I'm going to start looking for house to buy later this year. Something 3/2 with a yard of some kind so I can do all of the cool home projects that now appear to me. It will have to wait until I get my side job off the ground and complete...

    Never read the books so I'm really enjoying this show. A sci fi show with actual plot complexity and an interesting mystery! I dig it.

    Got down to rank 7 last night playing a version of Entomb Priest (I hate myself) running 2x Entomb, 2x Excavated Evil, 2x Lightbomb, 1x Holy Nova. Shits on Secret Paladin/Aggro pretty bad. Is okay to Wallet Warrior on the rare games I don't just autoconcede to them.

    The 100

    Why did they keep John in the ManCave Fallout Shelter for 90 days? That was a dick move for no reason. Eating 200 year old food. Bleh. I'd be pissed too.

    Why would the battery be disconnected anyway, or was it actually removed? Like, what purpose would this serve? Only thing I could think of would be to make the vehicle harder to move.

    The forensics tech who collected the sample admitted to never changing his gloves (handling actual Avery DNA all day) and thus cast doubt on the sample. It never went anywhere in court because of this.

    Not sure whats available to you up in the NE. But if you can get Carnitas shoulder cut (way way better than cutting pork shoulder yourself and costs nothing) slow cooker that shit up with a bunch of cumin/pepper/onion/etc and it'll be heaven. Poblanos are my favorite pepper in terms of flavor...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Just bought a GoPro 4 Session. The tiny black cube one to replace my old one that was donated to a Texas cornfield a few months ago. Pretty nice since it dropped in price by 50%. Also had to get a special mount for it for $100. We'll see how nice it is this weekend though.

    Neither option here makes a lot of sense though. Trick her into coming to an appointment already made? It wasn't like she hadn't been to the property before. Oh, so more like. Since the docket had sister on it. She wouldn't have answered if it was from him? I probably wouldn't of. But whatever.

    Which then begs the questions. Why did he tell everyone he was meeting TH? Why did he do this in broad daylight? Are we trying to say that this is a crime of opportunity? Like the crime he didn't do in 1985?... Just to be sure, Steve's alibi was hanging out at the house with the bonfire right?

    What did you just read?

    Started reading The Laundry files after reading the short storyA Colder War. Good shit. Weird Cold War (ish) series about government agencies that are ind of like the CIA that try to suppress Lovecraftian threats caused by people using or discovering certain mathematic principles.

    Dude, this is what you are saying. So two people claim to have seen SA after he had maybe used bleach to do something for some reason. You are then equating this to factual evidence and then projecting that it must have been to spotlessly clean up the murder scene(s) of all biological...

    He said she said "connections" don't mean shit. Most reasonable people have a hard time believing that you can clean something so thoroughly (after hacking someone to death) as to leave no physical trace behind. Especially by a retard on a crime supposedly committed on a whim. Just read up on...

    Jive. Like most here, I am no lawyer. But here's the stupidity around all of your shit that you don't seem to see. The discussion here is circling around the absurdity of this case. In all aspects of said absurdity. Whether or not SA committed this crime is basically insignificant compared tohow...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    According to Mr. Plinkett. Nobody (except George) really wanted to make Crystal Skull. After whatever forces that be exist around Hollywood really pressed them into agreeing to the film.

    The Big Short: Pitt, Bale, Carrell do the subprime crisis

    Easy. Financial crimes are EXTREMELY hard to prove dude. Even low level embezzlement can take YEARS to detect. Then you have to prove that it happened. There was just so much abstraction to all of it. The real estate guys slinging loans weren't thinking beyond their personal incentives...

    Didn't even bother to google for countries without extradition. Seriously, googling, "how to disappear and start a new life" would have given them better results than take the first all-inclusive vacation to Puerto Vallarte.

    Sicario (2015)

    Great movie. Excellent visuals. Although I disliked the main character and her partner. All the others were badass though. I was like, at what point do you realize that you need to just shut the fuck up and go with it lady?

    That is seriously the most punchable face ever. Especially in that picture. Shoulda froze the whole family's assets tho. That'd make him turn up quick. Or is daddy under the microscope too anyway?
