Chupe had a similar story on 95 I think

Doubt it

I try to make eye contact, listen to their story, and tell them I’m really sorry that happened to them and hope it gets better soon or something like that. Whether I give depends on what I have and the situation. Even if they’re lying, their life has to be pretty rough to be begging. But for the...

Found this stuff in the grocery store yesterday and it took eating tuna out of the can to another level for me

He also had anger issues and would absolutely blow up at students IIRC.

Anyone else take a class with Dr Lerner? In my memory he was literally growling and prowling around the room like a bear as he impersonated Caligula or something. Certainly extremely enthusiastic about old Roman texts

We all repeated the “if you swallow gum it’s in your stomach for seven years” myth but I’m not sure we really believed it. Definitely the Manson and wonder years ones too. I think my first CD was the beach boys greatest hits lol

Yup, same here. I didn’t mention it at the time, but your post about the Sopranos being a bit too close to home really struck me too. Took me well into adulthood to understand that so much of what I grew up hearing was just total bs. Funny story, I did the Voyage of Discovery in college (like...

I’ve been really into Le Carre the past couple of years. Read all the Smiley books and a few others, now I’m halfway through A Perfect Spy and it might be the best yet (though The Constant Gardener is great too) Phantom Tollbooth was probably my favorite as a kid. Actually, the Calvin and...

Good post, Scooter. I mostly lurk but Brasky definitely made an impression on me as well. I’ll never see a bolo tie and not think of him. If his online persona is any indication, he packed a lot of life into his 36 years. RIP.

Excluding retirees, etc., obviously.

It's a $125,000 annual income cap, right? If there are parents in that income bracket who paid for their kids' college without taking out loans, I'm fine with them getting the 10k check too.

To address the unfairness factor, just give the 10k payments to people who paid off their loans in the past 20 or so years, too (assuming they meet the other criteria). A lot of people in that group have a big wealth hole that they may never catch up from because of the sacrifices made to pay...

Wanted you to work West Coast hours but then backed off sounds like they're trying to get you in the door and you'll end up being asked to join a lot of late afternoon/evening meetings at the very least (and if you go back to Europe, it's a bigger problem).

This is not what a pro would say (including the semi-pros on this board), but I also have a very strong grip and had the same problem for years until I gave in and just started swinging easier. I used to crush irons with a draw, which was great most of the time, but I'd have 1-2 (or more)...

I didn't realize only Sotomayor had been a district court judge.

Trump is probably lying, but it is really that implausible? We had our own crazy guy with his finger on the nuke button. Now we have someone in office who is taking responsibility for avoiding WWIII, which unfortunately means that Putin doesn't have to be as careful.

I don’t like living in a post-Trebek world

Even after a loss great interview by Forbes and Mucius, clearly a smart guy. Alondes and Jake looked half asleep much of the game, whatever else happened it’s tough to win that way.

Ha, same here. I thought today was going to be my first L. Phew indeed. Wordle 229 6/6 🟩[emoji833]🟩🟩[emoji833] 🟩[emoji833]🟩🟩[emoji833] 🟩[emoji833]🟩🟩[emoji833] 🟩[emoji833]🟩🟩[emoji833] 🟩[emoji833]🟩🟩[emoji833] 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
