    Watched the first episode. Man, what a fucking bizarre show. The first 15 minutes especially was just a "what the fuck is going on here" reaction.

    The Bear

    I really feel like we'll look back on this show as one of those ones that would've been perfect had it just been a one-off season and that by trying to milk it they destroy the entire thing. I hope I'm wrong, but this just doesn't seem like it'll be as good the 2nd go around.

    Maggie Moore(s) (2023)

    Well glad I watched the trailer and saw the entire plot. Saves me 90-120 minutes.

    Buying a bed.

    We bought a Costco mattress (despite not being members) a few months ago. It's cheap and we sleep great on it. Better than pretty much all the expensive mattresses we've bought in the past. The only exception being my wife worked for Harrah's for a while, and we were able to get one of their...

    $103 billion difference. Holy shit. Those are some next level accountants they've got there. Must all be diversity hires, because anyone looking at that balance sheet would've had their head explode. I mean, I only took a handful of accounting classes and I can't even believe that number...

    But shouldn't that wash out the next day after the option either expires or is exercised? Meaning the volatility just gets delayed a day? And...wouldn't the extra buying to cover also be...volatility?

    So market is dropping today because 0DTE was helping absorb the volatility? That doesn't make sense to me, but I also have no clue how this shit works anymore.

    The thing about Florida is, the humidity sucks in the summer. But it sucks in the summer for like 2/3 of the US, too. The only difference is that Florida's summer is slightly longer. Like, 2 months extra out of the year. Complain about the bugs and shit if you want something to complain about...

    It's government getting involved in risk management. There's probably a reason LLPA's were super high on people with shit credit. This is fucking up the models of anyone giving a mortgage with government interference. I'm sure nothing bad will come of it though, right?

    Yeah, they put down sod for our new build. Almost a year and a half later and I'm still trying to get grass to grow. Granted, they were dickbags and left the pallets of sod sitting outside for about a week. That shit was super dead. Finished installing a sprinkler system myself about a month...

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Can't decide if I even want to pirate this one. I've only watched Shang Chi, Black Widow, and Spider-man from phase 4. I really do think I'm just done with MCU completely.

    7 Days to Die

    I loved 7 Days to Die. Over 500 hours into it. But I really started to loathe the developers sometime, shit, maybe like 5 years ago at this point, where it seemed like they had a contempt for their players. Base building was awesome and it was fun figuring out ways to outsmart the zombies and...

    Wife and I were both at 820+ for a while. I ended up with an uncollected medical bill I didn't know about which dumped me like 100 points. Got it taken off and it was still around 800 afterwards. Literally no idea why though. We don't do anything special.

    DOTA 2

    Weird that it's still part of the 7.0 update and not a brand new 8.0 one. These are vastly larger changes than the last big one with the neutral items and whatnot. I stopped playing around that time cause the game got weird. But I mostly just watch it to kill time every now and then anyway.

    Not to derail this, but I'm trying to figure out what the fuck kind of movie theater plays a new release for a week and then drops it?

    Barry

    This season seems very artsy with all the weird quasi-flashback/losing his mind stuff. It's also seeming a lot less like a comedy. Noho Hank is the comedic factor, and after last season I don't particularly find it charming anymore.

    Why limit yourself to 5% per day? And $30? Think bigger. Why not $10,000 and 7% per day?

    All you have to do is have $30 and get a measly 5% per trading day? Where do I sign up? And why is she so simple minded not to scrounge up more than $30 for this scam?

    Party Down

    Really disappointed this was only six episodes. Felt like it was finally regaining its footing only for it to be over. I'm hopeful that the cameo in the credit sequence means we get more. I imagine all the people involved enjoy it since they went through the trouble of getting it started up...

    Trillions in new money printed over the last three years. What, you think the welfare class got most of that? And corporations can only do so much stock buybacks. They're probably shoving it in banks because what the fuck else do you do with it?

    Unstable

    I generally completely dismiss Netflix shows, but I like Rob Lowe. This one is him and his son playing a father and son. At first I was a bit put off because it's one of those shows that just bombards you with witty dialogues and comebacks. I was trying to come up with something to compare that...

    Considering he's the lead actor in the top two of my top five favorite movies (BTTF and BTTF2), I'll watch. I always liked Doc Hollywood and Secret of My Success, too. Watched Family Ties growing up, but was really too young for it. So yeah, I'm in. I'll definitely check it out.

    We just can't sustain a decent rally. We retake 4000 and then lose it every few weeks now. Was really hoping at some point we could regain that August 2022 level. Not even asking for new ATH's yet.
