    Yeah, that sucks. I feel for him. 69 years together with one person, how could you possibly imagine life without them? That's why deaths are so frequent after the fact. The other person tends to give up.

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    Was this an origin story? If so, how does it compare to say... Doctor Strange? With my family life returning to good graces, I'm no longer going to see this tonight. Or probably at all for a few weeks until there's a time that I have availability that doesn't impose on anyone else.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have no experience at all with photoshop, but I do know they have a transparency setting that allows you to start off a project with a transparent background, then building from there to make your picture.

    Nope. When I moved out here and stopped taking the pills, I also took the "scrubbing" treatment to make sure it was all out of my system. All of the Ultrasounds are also showing a healthy child, so no fear there.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm trying not to make any excuses. I'm trying to lay down the facts as I see them. And it isn't that I'd be crushed by 24/7 medication for pain. I was on weekly injectable in PA for my RA called Orencia. It was great, but horribly fucked up my sperm. They actually tell you that if you ever...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I picked up a book not long ago called Ratio about a month ago. It has to do with cooking, telling you the proper ratio of ingredients to use for almost any dish to have it turn out tasting decent. To be honest, I still haven't even looked at it outside of a second ago to read the cover. I'll...

    Help Wanted Pricing software as a service

    Take Quickbooks for example on their pricing structure. You pay a flat rate for 1 user (some companies do fine with a single user). Others pay a higher amount for 5 users. The next jump is 20 users. You discount each user for multiples, but people are willing to pay. The company I was at...

    Not for nothing, but I put a lot more weight on what MG says than anyone else in this thread. She at least puts out the female perspective. As guys, the rest of us always miss shit that female insight picks up on. In regards to both Cad and MG, yes. I DO have Multiple Sclerosis. I also have...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    So after reading all of your opinions on the situation this morning, you've given me a different perspective. I've known that I haven't been pulling my weight, financially, but at the very least, I am an excellent father. My wife has told me as much. Anyway, I have a few interviews today and...

    I'm not going back to PA. Hawaii is now my home. There's no way I'm cutting my daughter and soon to be son out of my life. My daughter is everything to me, and I can only imagine the son will also be. After living out here, I've learned that I have the gift of gab. I'm also always...

    So, I just finished episode 9 of the series. Goku has officially become a "Super Saiyan God". And what this means, is he's gone from black hair to yellow hair to RED HAIR! Oh shit, he's a fucking ginger now. It's time to Smear the Queer, Beerus.

    This movie bothered me. The subject was fine, and I enjoyed the cartoon when I was younger. But something about the audio during the entire movie really put me off. The impression it gave me was that the movie itself was shot in complete silence. Everyone "mouthed" their words, but never...

    Cars 3 (2017)

    From the initial trailers, I thought this movie was going to have a sad undertone. It was pretty harsh seeing the crash happen like that as well as the movie. It really gave the impression that the movie would be about McQueen getting repaired and working hard to get out of his own way to...

    What to do after an accident? Beyond car repair...

    First off, I've never been in a lawsuit as either the plaintive or defendant. As such, starting one over an accident has never even occurred to me, so I don't have an answer. You were in an accident, you didn't win a lottery. Don't sue unless you legitimately medical help that hasn't been...

    I've never watched this series, but you guys (and a non-board friend) talked about it enough that I'm giving it a shot. Started back at episode 1. I'm on episode 5 now. It's dumb, but I don't mind. Very "dragon ball" in that regard. The cat dude is fucking up Bulma's birthday party right...

    And I just watched the finale to DanMachi Sword Oratoria. Overall, I liked the series mostly. The stupid elf was annoying, but I tried not to let that block my overall view of the show. And it appears that some bad shit in happening int he world for future seasons of DanMachi. I wasn't...

    Regardless of the scemantics of the deal between the two companies, that's really great for Tom Holland. Talk about a huge gift he's been given. I'm sure he'll do everything possible to make it work, so it's just a matter of Sony and Marvel having a solid agreement.

    The finale of Seikaisuru Kado & Tsuki ga Kirei were both pretty good. Kado went with an unexpected conclusion, but I liked it. Maybe not as much as the overall season, but it was still good. And hell, he got the "best girl" in the process. Tsuki made me tear up like a little bitch. It was...

    Sony marketing? Did they give people the wrong impression or something? I've only ever watched the first and (too informative) 2nd trailer, so I don't know what's up.

    Summer 2017 Anime Thread

    It's relatively short. 12 episodes long. It does leave room for a 2nd season at some point, but the story does at least finish telling that particular story arc. I enjoyed it, plus the animation is very unique. It's much softer than you would expect for this type of show. Maybe it's the...

    Summer 2017 Anime Thread

    Did you watch Hai to Gensou no Grimgar? It's of the style of "stuck in a game" without ever actually touching on it. Just some strange flashbacks, but it's a pretty good story. I like it a lot. It's very similar to watching a guild for how to be a newbie playing MMO's. But it's good.

    Imax tickets are now available on Fandango for opening night (Thursday, July 6th) at most theaters. So check it out. My theater has them listed, but the seating chart doesn't show up, so I can't actually select a seat & buy them yet. Good stuff.

    Ahh, I understand. You also seem to be in that gitty and excited stage of early love/lust. Is this guy someone you want to be around all day for no real reason? Just to be around him, that is? Also, what age range are you, if you don't mind me asking? 30's? 40's? 50's+? This is just a...

    I actually just spoke to my wife about a similar plan. I really like it a lot in the fact that it gives a child defined responsibility. Currently my daughter has none (she's 5, we don't see a problem with her being a kid). But I really do like the idea of how things work. She's under the...

    I edited my post to explain it more. Out here, people gamble about EVERYTHING. But the closest Casino's are a flight to Vegas (unless you're going to the illegal ones in Chinatown that sometimes get shot up...) While at work, they would always do the dollar flip bet. Usually between like 5...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    You could always go with the "draw straws" approach. Or a favorite, dollar flip. The 3 of them flip a dollar in the air. The one that lands with the off side up loses. You may have to do it 2-3 times, but it always works. IE - all 3 flip a dollar in the air (while standing). 2 of them...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I just finished watching the 6th episode. It has one of my favorite early scenes of the golden crown on Viserys after he barges in on the celebration and demands a crown or he'll take his sister. Then Daene responds that he was no Dragon. Fire doesn't hurt dragons. I really like that scene.
