Anyone else watch Succession? I am fully in now. I'm all in on it as well. What amazes me more than anything else is that I thought you used to have to like or care about the characters in order for a show to be successful. In Succession every single character is an objectively terrible person yet ...

Nice and organized...saving it for later.

I have a few questions: 1) Why can't they just put "the" on all their merchandise without the trademark? I can't imagine anyone suing them. 2) Wouldn't they be unable to stop unlicensed merchandise as long as "the" wasn't there? 3) What's the money angle? There can't be competit...

Murder suicide
Poison
Drowning
Exhausion/Eaten by animals

I would vote murder/suicide. Guess is one of them was done with being on the run and wanted to turn himself/them in. Other dude shot him then himself.

Seconded. I just informed my wife this morning I'm leaving her for Jennie.

I actually did the same thing my Junior & Senior year of High School. My Mom signed over guardianship of me to a young couple I was living with so I could stay in the place where I grew up. But this was a public school in what one could call rural Ohio so it's not like there were other kids clam...

Important update: Bend, OR is pretty damn amazing. We just got back from 4 days there, and did hiking, mountain biking, water stuff (kayaking and paddle boarding), and lots of beer drinking, including a bike pub crawl. One of my favorite cities...has a little bit of everything. I could easily live ...

Not sure if this should go here or in the Trump thread but my wife and I in process of upgrading our TSA Precheck to Global Entry.

I have been in similar positions in the past. Based on my experience (although I obviously don't know the people involved) they probably won't remember your objection and if they do I doubt they will give it much thought. Running a company is a bit like being a QB in football...you have to forget ab...

Saw Spiderman Far From Home last night. As an overall movie/plot I'd rank it in the middle of the whole Marvel series. One good thing about the plot was some misdirection...it is goes a very different direction than all of the articles that were written about the story line prior to the movies relea...

I got hit with ~$5,000 charge to tap into the village sewer line that the contractor did not know about. It was the cost the city charges to run the line from the street to the house. He had never built in our town before.

We are in the process of building a new house closer to town. We couldn't find anything we really liked. When the houses had what we wanted they were huge. So far we bought a lot and have a builder. Anyone ever build their own house? Trying to make sure you don't get screwed in some way seems impos...

Thanks...I was just looking at the Schlage smart locks. The wife says she doesn't want a connected one so just being able to use the keypad will be nice until I can convince her otherwise.

Looking for some advice on front door/deadbolt locks.

Went to a place recommended in an article and it blew us away.

Do you remember the name of the place?

Thanks. This is my third trip up there. During my first trip the wife and I did Victoria/Buchart Gardens and enjoyed it. The only problem was the date...September 11, 2001. Good times getting back into the US...

I definitely plan on hitting up the Anthropology museum.

I'm heading to Vancouver next month for a long weekend. We discussed some things to do a few year ago. Anybody got any recent recommendations for food/beer and things to do?

GoodKarma

Just watched...I think you did a great job. The natural life experience/story telling approach really works for you. If you really enjoyed it I hope you keep working at it.

I can second mister d on the Bose. I have used mine daily for two years and not one problem.

I echo what Sabo said. I've been through something similar; just admitting there is a problem is a big first step. The next is talking with with a medical professional you trust to figure out how to best address the problem. It worked wonders for me...not only helping me get through the problem but ...

Seems high to me. Recent guys I have hired in Colorado seem to be about $120.
