Amy Adams isn't up to the task. The bad southern accent doesn't help.

I'm re-thinking her whole body of work. She's just bad.

Love the indirect callbacks...the ice cream on the cheek, the thumb in the mouth, and then the Juliette Lewis reveal...all in episode 3.

That's the thing that's the most insidious. I can't prove this but I suspect whatever they bring in doesn't cover the cost of gas, maintenance, and depreciation on the car.

No but I've learned to chill. Hang out in the right lane, do the speed limit or a little more, let the rest of them fight it out.

You're not getting anywhere materially faster by rage driving on the interstate.
It's just more eshittificaiton.

Royal Bedding in Birmingham still manufactures two sided mattresses.

Or they did last time I checked.

I've moved on to memory foam. Don't buy a tempurpedic there are plenty of options just as good for a fraction of the price.

Look at Wagoneer L’s while you’re at it. The Fords are great but have about a foot less linear trunk space compared to the Suburban and Wagoneer L.


Stellantis (dodge/chrysler/jeep/ram) is one of the worst manufacturers.

100k for a jeep wagoneer? foolhardy.

Yeah...no. Not doing a car. Need a family hauler.


That includes minivans.

But our inner a-hole wants the full sized suv.

It makes no sense that we love them so much.


It's evolution. Most of the things we find hot about women tie back to finding a mate to continue our line.

Boobs assure us they'll be able to nurse our offspring
Hips assure us they'll be able to deliver our offspring.

A lot of the other things (long, pretty hair, etc) give off general "good health" signals.
My limited experience made me realize that many people will just go the way that gets them out of the jury room the fastest.

VH was at its best with Hagar...


Hagar: "I can't stop loving you....no matter what you say or do....

Roth: "I'm hot for teacher."



I'll take Roth every day and twice on Sunday. That goes for the solo careers too.

Its more like a Journey tribute band with out Steve Perry


Still worth seeing but the replacement dude has lost ability over time.

Steve Perry was one of a kind.
I saw Bruce Springsteen for the first time the other day.

Super preachy and liberal (and the setlist DEFINITELY suffered for it).

But I was surprised how competent and serviceable he still is.

I think they tuned a lot of it down.

Sounded much better than I expected given his age.

Willie Nelson needs to hang it up.
Even prisoners hate people who abuse children.

He won't last long. Hopefully.

It’s not free it just means everyone else will have to pay more to cover the expenses of the lard asses.


Remember when checked bags were free? I remember.

Now we know why.

They have weight limits for bags. Why not a limit on fatties?
Today it would be a rich white man co-opting the plight of the underserved for his own personal gain.

Been a minute since we lost to LSU.
quote:

but BCBS is the best.


Your plan is only as good as your company is willing to spend.

Teachers tend to have the best plan. I know people at BCBS...they don't even get the best plans.

It's your employer that decides benefits, deductibles, etc...again, how much they're willing to pay.
This doesn't happen to a private enterprise. Not this often. Not at this scale.

This is why government sucks. They don't give a shite about you and are terrible stewards of our money.

If SS is shut down today you eat the shite sandwich. But you don’t want to eat the shite sandwich, inevitably leaving your kids to eat the shite sandwich.


They could remove the cap in SS tax. Make it like every other tax.

That would generate plenty of revenue.

I can maybe see why they capped it, since there's probably a "maximum benefit."

But I get no benefit out of welfare and I pay into that as well.

Most Boomers will get FAR MORE out of the entitlements than they put in (SS, Medicare/Medicaid, etc). They will probably be the last generation to have that luxury.

Also, will the Boomer criticism just move to Gen X as the boomer population dwindles? We seem to be skipped right over between the Millennial and Boomer warfare...

quote:

I know a ten year old, he doesn’t give a shite about Star Wars. I’ve tried to get my kids into it, and there are simply better options for limited screen time. And it’s a big pass for them.



10 year olds aren't the problem.

It's 50 year olds that expect Star Wars to make them feel like they did when they were 6.
