    I have a wife who has been wanting something like this... hurm.... And they don't look all that hideously expensive to boot. We have a 15x30 enclosed patio room on the back side of our house that would give a good place for this I think. Of course, then we have the problem I actually came...

    Stargate SG-1

    In the video up there they do specifically call out to it being an "accessible" Stargate story/world for people unfamiliar with the franchise and possibly even not big SciFi people. The more I think about this the more this indicates to me it will need to be an Earth based show to be more...

    I'll admit to still thinking this is awfully bubbly. Although the tempering to that thought is that unlike the dotcom era these companies do at least have real revenue streams and cash flows. And my stock angst today has almost nothing to do with NVDA and more to do with other investments I'm...

    I just wonder how much NVDA earnings are going to swing every other stock that's releasing earnings after them. It feels AWFULLY .com bubbly to me right now, and I say that as someone who had stock options at the company I was with at the time go to essentially zero worth during the dotcom...

    Stargate SG-1

    Yeah, that seems to be my take on it too, that it will be a "new chapter" of an SG-1 style story based on Earth. When I told @Mrs. Haus about this her first question was "But who will be the bad guys since they destroyed the Gou'ald, Replicators, and Ori?" But I figure they'll come up with...

    Stargate SG-1

    I'll start off with a rating of "Tentative optimistic" since they have Wright and Malozzi involved. Calling it a "unique chapter" in the same universe, I wonder if they're going to tell the pre-SG1 universe of Goa'uld v. Ancient, etc....

    I saw this ad and had to rewatch it a couple times as I SWORE it had to be some kind of satire, but nope... real ad... real law firm... Best line : Call your favorite attorney now! He'd call you, but HE DOESN'T HAVE YOUR NUMBER!

    My chart shows it as percentage increase, his shows it on three different axes/scales which allows it to line up the trends in a different way : FRED only goes back to the early 80's for it's median household income trend. This chart shows the percentage change, not the absolute number changes...

    It's not. But the degree to which rent is outpacing median household income tells the better story IMHO... (Can't believe I'm reusing variants of this FRED chat twice in one day) https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=1NVkw In roughly the last quarter century rent prices have gone up 140%...

    So... had a medical procedure today which involved being fully sedated. Which always screws up my sleeping schedule (which is usually like a damn well build clock). So I find myself up essentially all night (managed to sleep from around 2-3:15) And this floats across my X feed.

    He lost his mom earlier this year as well, so I think there's a whole stack of things at play here. Not to mention realizing he made the most notable defensive play of the year for the Cowboys, but somehow that still didn't get him promoted to a better team. (He was the one who ran in that...

    Yeah, it's just also causing consternation because we're seriously looking at moving. Buying land out somewhere, and building our "we're going to live out our days here" place. So that has us wondering how much money we want to sink into the current house. Add into that the fact that in our...

    The starting QB on your fantasy team, the first week back from an injury, apparently breaks his left arm.... The team he plays on has their backup RB in (who your opponent this week has) and runs in a TD on the next play to put him 3 points ahead of you, and seals your loss for the week.
