I'm with turbo on this one. Maybe because we're from the same generation? Just turn on the TV and click to 31..and the Brewers! Also my eclectic taste in sports, so the niche channels offered get utilized often. This reminded me of how my parents used to call me from Milwaukee when I lived in Chicago and tell me to turn on 31 because a local highschool game was on. I would have to explain that the channel was local to Milwaukee only, and even if it was a national channel the numbers were different in different areas. The extreme example of the generational thing.

If you stick with just season 1 of True Detective you'll love it. Started this last night, and I'm absolutely hooked after 1.5 episodes. Is it truly best to just stop after Season 1? Are there any redeeming qualities of 2 or 3? I'll go against the grain and say that I thought Seasons 2 and 3 of True Detective were both pretty good. As good as the Wire, no. As good as Season 1 True Detective, no. I think these seasons got a bad wrap just because of how high the bar was set. TD episodes 4-8 were the best TV I've ever watched, and that includes recent viewings of The Wire, Sopranos, and Better Call Saul (& some BB refreshing). If TD Season 1 never came out I feel like Season 2 and 3 would be pretty highly regarded.

Living in Chicago, and now LA, I have been able to watch the Brewers for free the last 2 years because I get a free MLB account through T-Mo. It's been awesome.

The Wire has been on my to do list for ages, have just never gotten around to seeing it... So HBO is currently free? No, a selection of HBO shows are free. Here is a link: https://www.hbo.com/hbo-news/watch-hbo-free-no-subscription My wife and I also enjoyed Big Little Lies- it was pretty intense. We plan to watch Sopranos next.

My wife and I are finally binging The Wire. We have HBO, but just so everyone knows, a bunch of their shows are free right now online.

Why would you be saving for retirement while working to establish your emergency fund? Or were you comfortable having less than $10k as your amount? Just curious. I'm guessing we are around the same age. Our generation will have been hit by two massive recessions while trying to start families and get our lives in order. My family is in a really good place at this point in time, but man has it been exhausting. I don't think people should have to be as frugal and financially educated as my wife and I have become. Yes, we did it through hardwork, but I don't blame anyone else for not also doing so. FWIW, I'm 37, own investment property, have been maxing 401ks and IRAs for 7 or 8 years, have taxable investments, and still do not feel financially secure.

People like me who own rental property and have to pay that mortgage, whether my renters pay their rent or not. Don't you have a safety fund in place to be able to weather this lack of income?

The S&P 500 crashed, what, 30%? The question is if that priced in all the damage to come. I'd say it really happens how long this lasts. I think that drop priced in a significant shelter in place order. If those restrictions are eased and another wave of this hits, I think there is going to be another drop.

I completely hated Ad Astra and I can't remember why but I hated it. Having your plane land and missing the end is probably the best possible way to watch Ad Astra.

Yes. Well, more like you as an individual are no where near the top of their priority list, unless you actually get the job. My 2.5 year job search consisted and being ignored and flat out lied to by HR people. Funny enough, the two places that actually hired me have had great HR departments. I think a big part of it is that when companies downsized, they often let go the HR people who actually knew what they were doing. Now the HR processes are being put on technical people who are too busy with their day to day work to follow up or even conduct a proper interview. At least, thats the way its been in my field, though I have been lucky enough to be employed the last 3 years.

Don't tell your employer anything. Take a day off, that's why people have vacation time.
