I mean, Victor pissed himself. That was something?

Not going to watch this video, but I made a post a few weeks ago just throwing out a hypothetical similar to that. That the Garden of Eden could exist in an alternate plane, and the "knowledge of good and evil" is essentially conscious thought. They were exiled into the physical world we know...

I got bored way faster than most of you. 21 hours in, I think I haven't picked it back up in a week.

My guess is they're at a point where money doesn't matter anymore and this is purely an aesthetic choice. As far as granite though, while we've had them in the last two houses, I don't really love it. I mean, it looks decent, but it's still kind of a pain in the ass to baby it. I've all but...

Guess I missed that. Should've given her a retarded dyke mullet if they wanted me to notice a chick's hair being different. That's way too subtle for me. Know your audience, people.

I probably should've just waited to watch once the season was over. This type of show is way too frustrating to watch week to week. Just little things like the cop who, despite finally putting on regular clothes, still wears a fucking belt with a radio on it that does nothing, or the people just...

It's pretty funny to consider they would've been right around the corner from EA. But it's definitely not a red flag or anything that they're completely redesigning the game suddenly.

Mobs leashing seems like a massive change. Basically flying in the face of the "super punishing old school mechanics" so many of the diehards seem to want.

It's both an age of the player phenomenon, as well as the time period the game came out. You'll never recapture 1999 era internet where everyone wasn't so connected like they are now. Several people have mentioned it over the years in this thread, but you're talking peak instant messaging era...

That doesn't sound like a good omen for the movie. Basically they don't think it holds up on its own, with just phase whatever the fuck Marvel bullshit behind it, so we're going to go back 7 years to the last thing that was interesting to support it. I don't think most movie fans will...

And here I figured she was acting like an asshole. Turns out that's just her personality. Her "everyone is raping little girls" and "don't trust any men" schtick is so obnoxious. Anyway, I meant to say it in my last post, but the conclusion to season 2 just felt like kind of a letdown. It was...

Honestly, the whole character was weird. They basically made him an incel.

Yeah, made me want to just play kick/hat/snare for a week and just see what happens.

Yeah, it's got some issues, and the woke stuff keeps creeping in, but it's one of the best dramas of the last few years by a long shot.

Well shit, it's unfortunate Tom Cruise won't be involved thi...oh wait.

Right, but I don't liquidate my entire portfolio when we need cash to live off. I do like $5-10k at a time. So it's an extra couple hundred dollars. Not nothing, but over the long term also insignificant. It's why I always say, even after you retire you still need to stay in equities. If you've...

The other day when the market broke even on the year, I asked my wife if we needed more money yet. She said we still had a month or two. I considered liquidating some, but boy am I glad I waited (not that 2-3% is a huge difference).

Appreciate it. Will have to look into the land equity part as I've never seen that. It makes sense, just something never seen mentioned on construction loans. I guess maybe cause most people don't own the land they're building on?

Probably why Abiotic Factor felt so refreshing. Check it out if you hadn't. Probably still on Game Pass if you've got that.

Dang, that seemed to come out of nowhere. So if you don't mind me asking, what's the summary? $850k or so at 6.5%? Assuming a construction loan? 1 year? I'm assuming everything as far as blueprints had to be finalized?

Many people have said it at this point, but even if he did finish this next book, who cares anymore? The window of me giving a fuck about these books passed about a decade ago.

Plenty of real people are pieces of shit.

I guess I meant more from the perspective of ones I had watched of his, which is Black Rabbit and Ozark (although I don't think I completed a season of either). It sounds like this one has gone off the deep end even further.

I hadn't had any complaints about the game so far, but I was in Scholastone and doing the main quest where you "use axiom force to remove the unstable core" and holy shit, what the fuck? Who came up with this? Even looking it up, it still took me a while to figure out. In fact, I think it was...

Personally I feel like anything natural is pretty timeless. Including granite. But then again, I'm not really a trendy person whatsoever, so maybe I'm way off base.

Shit, just came to post that. Came up on my recommended and I had no clue what it was.

I'll caveat this with I haven't watched this yet and only read this thread to see if I should, but this seems a lot like Jason Bateman's MO lately. Just shows about total pieces of shit. Like he's either trying to absolve himself of some personal guilt, or admit it, or live out his deepest vices.

Yeah, it's pretty strange. But then I have to remind myself that the market still averages 10% a year, even with world wars and depressions. Yeah, usually that's because they bounce back *after* those events, but I think I still underestimate just how much momentum the market carries to new...

Yeah, enjoying it so far. Nothing really remarkable about it but it's funny enough for us to keep watching.

It's funny, I'm 7 and a half hours in. I still don't really know what I'm doing, but there's some severely addicting about this game. I can't put my finger on it at all, but it's good.

Absolutely, although I've only recently realized PTSD from 3 deployments kind of fucked me up and made it difficult for me to connect to people, leave the house in general, and be sociable. It's been hard to cope with realizing that the last 20 years I've essentially had no real friends outside...

C'mon man, he was "wildling extra" in a single episode of Game of Thrones. They don't get much more celebrity than that!

Did some quick reading, and basically every article says that spring predictions of El Nino are laughably poor, and you really have to wait until August or September. That basically these are just more "climate models" predicting doom and gloom.

Do you need the money in the next 6 months? Do you expect the market to be higher in the next year or two? If no to the first, and yes to the second, why would you exit the market? Do you know something that everyone else doesn't? Otherwise you're gambling on maybe a few percentage point...

I don't think I'm at the point where "work on your camp" is an option yet I guess.

Finished up the other games I had and went ahead and bought this yesterday. 3 hours in and I have no idea what I'm doing still. Game looks amazing though. And it's definitely got its hooks in me. I'm resisting looking up any information on it, despite the fact that I feel pretty confused by...

That's exactly what I was talking about. Everything always leaves out the earth and moon hurtling around the sun part. Which makes the entire prospect insane to me. Thanks for that.

That's kind of what I was also wondering about. I've got to say, if I were an astronaut that's putting an awful lot of faith in the math of the guys who plan the mission. Miss the moon's orbit and off into space you go.

Anyone got a good link to an explanation of how all of these moon missions actually work? I was really thinking about it differently today, and I was thinking I always see little graphics of it where it's on 2 or 3 planes, and essentially we just shoot a space ship towards the moon, do a loop...

That was us. Retired basically November 1st in 2021. Think we took a 20-25% haircut just 3 months into it. We've recovered and then some, obviously.
