    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I just watched Rogue One last night. That was an actual Star Wars movie. Anyone putting TFA, TLJ or any of the prequels before it must have a twisted sense of humor. God, TLJ is such a bad movie. It's so fucking bad.

    It has an audience score of 52%. The 92% is the critics score, and who gives a shit about that?

    It's not a pyramid scheme Brutul. You should read up on the tech and the purpose. You may not agree with it but that doesn't mean it's a scam or scheme. What Cad was referring to is not value as a currency. The people he was referring to aren't using cryptos as currency, they are using them as...

    I thought she was basically a direct ripoff of that character in fact. Same mannerisms. Same haircut. Same style of gibberish, child speak.

    BTC is not a pyramid scheme and it is, in fact, real. The ideas and tech behind it are solid and it is now being leveraged by financial institutions worldwide (blockchain). The value has skyrocketed because it has become an asset that people are hoarding and it will likely never be seen as a...

    The movie fell short in so many respects. There is no plot or character development at all. Stuff just happens.

    Bright (2017)

    No. Not at all. It's more like someone saying something because they just want to be left the fuck alone but also don't want people to think they are a sociopath. This movie isn't a social commentary in the least. Or if it was trying to be one it did a terrible job. The characters are just very...

    Man, this movie is a shame. It's so goddamn boring. The setting and world have so much potential and it's just a fucking boring story. Will Smith's character is so flippant that he's completely uninteresting as a protagonist. All the character does is pretend to care about social equality while...

    This isn't true. It's if your grandma wants to invest in it it's too late. It was a safe gamble in the past because you could throw a couple hundred bucks at it and just let it be. Who cares for that kinda money. If you dumped $20k into bitcoin in 2015 you were a lunatic. But you'd have "fuck...

    This article sums everything about XRP that I believe will make it fizzle out as consumer contender. Everything he talks about has to do with being a bridge currency (something only banks will be interested in) and corporate savings. EDIT: I do think it will see a significant uptick in price at...

    I agree with you that Ripple has great potential as a company and a payment protocol. But it is being packaged and sold to financial institutions primarily as a settlement system. It's not anything like Bitcoin or other cryptos. As such I don't think XRP is going to take off because it's not...

    Mayo fries are confirmed god tier. Especially garlic mayo. Also, I've had mayo on philly cheese steaks as well and it's good. I'm a big mayo fan. I just don't want mayo on my meatball parm. And I definitely don't want spicy brown mustard on my meatball parm.

    Well what do you mean? I really don't like the idea of XRP. The entire Ripple system, to a layman like me, just seems like a more secure Venmo with its own currency.

    It also doesn't use Blockchain but rather Ripple's payment platform which they are building for and selling to financial institutions with what seems like a main focus on accounting more than anything else. XRP is like some bastardized form of crypto that has none of the benefits of a true...

    Tax Reform and You

    All I know is I'm pretty sure I need to switch from itemizing to taking the standard deduction. I'm in the highest bracket so this will potentially save me a bundle of cash but I think I'm going to actually need to get my taxes done professionally in 2019 to make sure.

    Hot pastrami is a Jewish NY Deli staple. Mountains of hot pastrami with spicy brown mustard on seeded rye. About tri-tip and other "cheap cuts" of beef... only more affluent, upscale areas have places that serve it. Which you'd think wouldn't be the case but poor people probably don't even know...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...
