Hmm, yeah, looking at the remaining players is kind of depressing. The last 3 weeks with Caleb, Malcolm, and JT really took a big hit to my "players I give a shit about" list. Andrea, Hali, and Brad are probably the only ones I'd still root for. And maybe Zeke, too. Ozzy is fun to root for, but...

Eh, it started off with a few good ones, but there is meaning to a lot of those. Like, cover corner is a guy who plays man really well. This would be opposed to a guy who plays better in zone. Or, down hill and north/south runner. Look no further than Barry Sanders for a RB that wasn't those...

I'm a little surprised by Sandra as well. She's playing quite boldly. Like, eating a jar of sugar and gloating to the other tribe members. I understand not all of them were eating sugar, but if I'm fucking starving and there's 800 calories of sugar sitting there, I'm going to be fucking livid...

Michaela is just an angry black woman. It's got nothing to do with being brought back too early, that's just her personality. And it's the reason like 95% of black women get voted out on Survivor; they can't control their emotions/anger. I actually think Cirie might be the only one who doesn't...

You're much more patient than I. I read half of that 3rd paragraph before I said "nope."

Man, Debbie has fucking lost it. She's crazier now in under 2 weeks than she ever was on her original season. She's got a chemical imbalance.

Got one that I'm not quite sure of the answer to. With recessed lighting, does the housing need to be wet rated, or just the bulb? It seems like housings don't have a wet rating, and most of what I've found says, "make sure the trim is wet rated." I used some when I did my gym install that I...

Yeah, I still don't get the rule that you can't line up across from the center. It just seems completely arbitrary. May as well make a rule that a corner can't line up across from a tight end, because reasons.

Liquid is definitely playing like shit. Lots of bad initiations or chasing kills that aren't quite there. Newbee has been pretty uneven in their games. Not sure who else is in that group besides NP and IG.

I actually have no idea what I'm talking about, but I swear I Googled it when we first moved in and read something about them being put in upside-down. On 2nd Google just now, I'm not sure that it's the cartridge but maybe the mixing valve? All I know for sure is that the handle only goes on...

I hope Ewan's accent isn't as distracting in the show as it was in that trailer.

I'd like to know as well. Is there some kind of scenario I'm not thinking of that would make betting on the local team somehow worse than any other game?

Ha! I got that once too. I can't remember what I was buying, but I'm like, "Do you actually want me cutting this shit with a hand saw here?" Seems like the liability on that wouldn't make it worthwhile. I also mentioned before that we just had new counters put in. I had bought the faucets...

Maybe this will mark the point where we finally stop pretending gambling and steroids are going to ruin the NFL, and acknowledge that they're something that will be ever present (and easily arguable that they're essential) to professional sports.

DAC Newbee vs Liquid is a hell of a game.

Side shop keeps becoming less and less useful.

I don't think Sandra has any chance of winning. No one is going to vote for the only two time winner. Plus, she's basically no threat to win individual immunity, so it's definitely possible to get rid of her later. I enjoyed the twist of first telling them two teams go to tribal, but then only...

You got lucky.

I'm just looking at your picture, and that faucet looks like it'd hit your lower back, not your ass. I guess I was hoping for an MS Paint.

I don't understand how bidets like that work. We had one in the palace I lived in in Iraq, and it just looked like it'd be disgusting to share with another person. Do you straddle the bowl and bend over? Like, how the fuck does that thing clean your ass? Or is it a "use your hand" kind of...

If your investing horizon is longer than 10 years, just get in now. Whatever volatility is in the market now will be irrelevant by then. Time in the market > timing the market You should also remember that something like 75% of the time, the market is trading within 5% of an all time high. And...

Going to make this a separate post. I think I mentioned before, but we were pricing out counter tops a while ago. We ended up getting them finished Monday, but it was a huge headache (although not so bad in retrospect). Long story short, the company was shit at keeping us in the loop which...

The other day we had a roofing guy come by to our house to try to sell us on a new roof and getting our insurance to pay. I told him my deductible was $10k, and I wasn't interested. He then told me that I should lower my deductible for $250, wait for a windy day, and then file a claim and he'd...

The goat thing is strange, because I've heard for past seasons they get briefed on what local flora/fauna they're allowed to eat. I guess maybe goats weren't on that list?

What's the item build for a support Weaver? Brown boots, wand, and straight into agh's?

Bummed about Caleb. Feel like he was entirely a casualty of an early merge. Although, he may have been on the outs with Sandra for all I know. And speaking of Sandra...what the fuck? 8 days and she's ready to say "Fuck you, baby goat!" I mean, I eat meat and all, but that seems like a pretty...

I don't pay for hats, but that Jugg arcana is fucking hot.

Yes. I was giving him motivation to stay the course in retirement. Does it hurt seeing a 30% drop? Absolutely. But if you're only going to sell off 3 or 4% of your portfolio in a year, it's only that 3 or 4% that gets hit by the full drop. And if you spread it over a year, it becomes even less...

Just think about the fact that you're not going to be selling a significant amount in the downturn. Most recessions are very short lived. Even the 2008 one bounced back most of the way within a year. So if you have $8M and we have a 30% decline, how much are you actually selling to survive...

That's...what I was saying. I think, if I understand what you wrote. As indexing gets bigger and bigger, fund managers will actually be able to finally make money again.

I wish people understood that it's possible to beat the index, but almost impossible to do it over an extended period of time. If a financial advisor is telling someone that it's worth their 1% cut because they can beat the market, a little critical thinking would tell you that if they could...

Mineski with what I think is probably the biggest throw I've ever seen in a pro game against TNC. Everyone but Alch is dead, and he tries to man up against the enemy team. What. The. Fuck? And then TNC has a bad high ground aegis push, but Dazzle graves an Alch illusion on their counter push.

It's crazy that there's a big winter storm. It was like fucking 88 degrees here today.

Only about 15 minutes into that, but it's infuriating. I want to punch every single "expert" they've had on there. I'm also tired of this romanticizing people have of pensions. It's like people think pensions have been the standard for hundreds of years or something. Pensions were around for...

They still charge $5 for HD? That was one of the biggest jokes for a television provider that I've ever seen. I've been without for 3 years now and I don't miss it one bit. Usenet for TV/movies, Netflix for "I don't give a shit" TV (which used to be Food Network or HGTV), and over the air for...

The teams have had so much change over recently, so I don't know who does what anymore, but I'd say the teams that are more focused on team fighting (especially early) will benefit from the recent changes. So that probably eliminates most of the Chinese teams (farm, farm, farm).

You mean you jinxed it. Asshole. Way to go!
