  1. I think you'll like it. I got one for the family and one for a friend a few years ago. We pull it out at gatherings and it gets a good amount of interest. We also go overboard with that 'gliss' stuff.
  2. A staggered re-set with this team would work great. If one of Burnes/Woodruff were gone, you've still got a top-tier rotation but now you can hit a little better. $40M contracts only highlights the fact that if you're not a big-spender, you better develop-and-trade. Is this Milwaukee team really a World Series contender or is it one of those who would consistently fight for the playoffs (especially being expanded) but never get much further (The Utah Jazz or past Houston Rockets of baseball)? Or is the trade market for big stars just generally depressed these days because of the money that's out there? A team likely wouldn't trade for Burnes unless they had at least a chance at extending him, and how many teams out there could realistically do so? Five or six? And especially when it's just a few teams competing against each other for the big-time FAs, is it really better to give up your top prospects in a trade or just sign whatever top SP is on the market?
  3. Wouldn't a silicone ring take away the need to remove it to do any work?
  4. I'm pretty anti- gift card, but I did give the parents a coffee of the month club a year ago and they really like it. I think the mother particular likes getting a new present every month.
  5. For a good while now I've been tempted to just jump in a day at a time and play these dips. Oftentimes they're predictable enough you can see a bump coming, things go up maybe 8% over a couple days, and then fall again. But ultimately I remind myself that things are never that simple and I should probably just avoid that stuff altogether. In February of March of this year I remember reading a few articles from long-term, successful crypto guys who said that most often a crypto investor totally misplays his first big bull market, but by that second big bull run they've learned those necessary lessons and it's all much more successful for them. I certainly played my hand poorly that last run-up, but it does make me pretty optimistic for the next one.
  6. Boy I could really see Rodgers going any direction at the end of the season. If he wants to play again but he thinks the Packers aren't a SB contender, maybe a trade would be tenable without the fans giving him the Favre treatment. Though my guess is he plays another year with GB. And if so, wouldn't Love's 5th year option be really expensive? To trade Rodgers to Tennessee you pretty much have to take Tannehill, and that's a pretty awful contract. Though if Rodgers wants a trade, I'd guess he'd be able to choose his new team and GB would just get what they could out of it.
  7. So have we hit the bottom yet or is there more to go? My thinking has usually been that the regular market has another fall in it and that Bitcoin will hit around 12k, but that we'll probably have a short little bump-up before that. The trap for all for folks who may have took long positions when it hit 15k. But I'd also hate to sit here and see Bitcoin hit 40k and I'm still out of the market. Largely I base it on what Jerome Powell will do. There's speculation that he'll pull back on the rate hikes going forward, which certainly would push a lot of growth.
  8. I like both of those ideas. And especially considering a new mother pretty well never thinks of herself and only the baby for even a moment, something baby-related even though the gift is to her, personally, would be just fine. And no doubt any opportunity for her to just get away for a couple hours and close her eyes would be appreciated, too. Or hire someone to come to the house just to do some basic cleaning or laundry for a few hours, since usually the house becomes a mess and there's little time to clean. One time I lacked money but was temporarily living with my brother and their little kid and I just made them 20 freezer meals to make things easier.
  9. Kirstie Alley (replaced Diane on Cheers) died of cancer at 71 yesterday.
  10. Jimmy Garoppolo has a better career QB Rating than Joe Montana. Obviously one is still the better QB than the other, though I think it still speaks to your point.
  11. I guess it was some hip contusion for Pulisic and he said out of his hospital bed that he'd play this weekend. Sure was hard to listen to the game on the radio when you don't know the players. All I could do was listen for an Arabic-sounding name and go from there.
  12. How good can you possibly get at anything when your #1 goal is to not screw up? I feel like that's been the front office's and coordinators' mindsets for a good few years now. Don't get creative on offense because Rodgers will do it all for you. Same as playing 15 yards off on a 3-12 because you're too afraid of giving up the deep pass.
  13. I'm lacking an idea for the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law. Thought of a home coffee roaster, but they basically kinda already have one. Was gonna do a steel poster for the brother-in-law but they don't have the wall space. The BiL got one of those google smart speakers for the car, but so far that's it. Also don't know for the 6-8 y/o nieces. Was thinking of some inflatable sumo balls but I read that they pop, plus they're expensive enough to be for both of their birthdays, and little kids don't tend to like that.
  14. Good number of years ago now, but I've heard foreign players being thankful that the US has so many other sports or else nobody but the US would win any soccer matches.
  15. Brewers don't have the payroll and riches to be sending another team money to get rid of a contract. And even if the Brewers could send $10M/season off with Yelich, what are you picking up for that leftover $16m--basically a player of Yelich's current ability.
  16. Like your username.
  17. Unless Rodgers whispers to Gute that he'll be retiring after this year I don't see any reason to give Love any time. Just no point in it. However Rodgers plays he's going to be the starter and you're not going to pay him $50M and pick up an expensive 5th year option on Love also. Plus it's more than just Love who needs to see work, but all the young WRs who need time working with Rodgers, too.
  18. I didn't get the promotion. Kinda thought I would. Though I guess considering I only wanted the position for the money and didn't really want the stress, maybe it's for the best. Also didn't get my bonus pay because the new policy is if you just have an interest in the promotion, that disqualifies you from the bonus, which is asinine. They made one person run an entire park for six months because it saved them money. It's no wonder everyone in the Division is looking to leave.
  19. SBF should be in jail and there needs to be an investigation into everyone involved. But of course neither of those things will happen. Boy with Bitcoin invented to be a workaround to bank fraud and government fraud, all its actors sure seem to be doing the same thing. Sure wish there were some kind of fiat on-ramp to using a dex, though. I'm still all in cash. I don't think you can look at the crypto market without also looking at the real market. Now that the elections are over I wonder if Powell will tackle inflation a lot more. I tend to think there's one more big roadbump ahead, although BTC at 16.5 sure is attractive, too.

    Pizza

    I'm indifferent to mushrooms. Can't really taste them. But will use them fairly often because they're good for you.
  21. If that happened it would be an interesting decision the following year. Do you keep him because he got you to playoffs, or do you replace him because he's totally unqualified to be an NFL coach?
  22. Was I supposed to be rooting for the team to lose for a better draft pick, or rooting for them to win just because? All game I had no idea what I was supposed to be hoping for.
  23. Lions could still ruin all their hard work by drafting a stinker of a QB. And they're going to have to trade a good lot of draft picks to move up into that #1 or #2 spot to get either one of them, even if they're comfortable enough with the bigger project QB in Levis. Houston and Carolina need one, and probably the Raiders also go QB if one is available. I had no idea that Fields set the QB single-game rushing record last week. Apparently he's really starting to turn it around and become kinda decent. Usually as soon as he left the pocket he ducked his head and was going to run, though now he's been keeping his head up and still looking to pass.
  24. Gute trying to have the best of both worlds by drafting Love and then extending Rodgers, instead of choosing a direction for the team and actually sticking to it. Then they don't trade Love yet hire coordinators who are more "don't mess up" guys than they are high-ceiling guys. I can understand the gamble on Adams (though a Rodgers extension should have happened already if you were going that route), but then they should have mortgaged their future to get a better WR in here. All the decision-making has been contradictory. Choose one direction or another, because trying for both has gotten us the worst of both worlds.
  25. Still my favorite Brewer, still absolutely jacked, and still married to a member of En Vogue. If I found out the guy is actually a jerk it would be pretty crushing.
