She was always like that apparently; she had a speech disorder as a kid. Back in her day, I made a thread about this because I found Rousey hard to understand (English is not my first language) and asked what kind of accent she has. Sherdoggers destroyed me haha. I don't mind that she lost...

How was the last season? To me, Strange New Worlds is the only good thing to come out of Discovery. I powered through the first three seasons but couldn't convince myself to continue into the fourth. But apparently Picard managed to course correct, so I'm wondering if that happened with...

No, that was a complete braino on my part, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. It only feels like 50% haha. My real rate is in the high thirties. I used to live in Hong Kong though where my marginal rate was something like 16%, sigh.

In Canada, mortgages are only for a few years at a time. So every five years or so (or whatever the term was) borrowers end up with a new interest rate even for "fixed-rate" mortgages.

It depends on his exact mortgage, but most have yearly limits on how much can be paid directly to principle. If you have more cash than the limit there is no point in paying down any further because of the penalties, so if you made investment gains you'd have to invest them elsewhere and you...

It is mostly a good idea to pay down your mortgage but it does depend somewhat on your personal circumstances. 1) You are only going to pay the maximum amount allowed without penalty each year. That means you won't be left without funds in an emergency because only a portion of your savings...

Oh come on, lots of couples do hyphenated last names after getting married, or else just keep their own surnames. It's weird and old-fashioned to force the woman to take the man's name. No opinion on this part; I haven't followed any of the past stories. And here I think you are just looking...

I thought she was wrong about the parasitical nature of the press. The way she frames it, the press "rides the coattails" of do-ers like her husband or herself. But the relationship between celebrities and the press isn't parasitical it's symbiotic. It's the press writing stories about...

The weirdest thing to me is her Othello reference. She's obviously only done some Googling or ChatGPTing and never really watched/read the play or she would know that the main antagonist's name is Iago with an eye and not Lago with an ell. She also says Desdemona, like herself, did not cheat...

To be fair, Biden has been trying unity for his entire term (bipartisanship and a return to political norms was his entire selling point) and the Republicans have been mostly rebuffing him.

Yeah I guess if you saw those ads back in the 1990s you might miss the subtext if you were straight. Its also possible they only ran those ads in New England and the Pacific Northwest. I don't know enough about car advertising history to say. I think one of the reasons this worked for Subaru...

Subaru's marketing department didn't seem to think so...

Are the schools not in loco parentis where you live? They are usually responsible for the children in their care during school hours.

This is equivalent to saying if you rob a store but they get reimbursed by insurance then no harm no foul. If Trump overstated his assets when obtaining a loan, then the bank has a higher risk than is shown on paper and that is paid for through slightly higher interest for all other borrowers...

Can you explain which section of the law you think Oliver is violating? The way I read things (omitting sections which apply to accepting bribes): (b)(1)(A) doesn't apply because Oliver's isn't attempting to influence any official act; ie he isn't trying to influence any existing or pending...

I was curious what you meant by this part. If you use some kind of device management to lock everything down, then no platform (including Windows and even Linux) will be able to install things right? For regular consumer Macs there is no locking down. You don't need to install from the Apple...

Lets say multinational and the particular building I'm in has three floors so not huge like a FAANG but not a startup or local business. At joining I was offered a choice of Windows (probably on Dell), Ubuntu, or Mac and I chose Mac. I later added an Ubuntu laptop and those are now ThinkPads...

For the posters who say Macs were only more secure because they were a smaller target for hackers... That is part of the explanation, but I feel like you guys don't remember the bad, old days for Windows (which lead to Vista being so confirm or deny infuriating). It used to be that you could...

It depends what you mean by "engineering", but I'm in a software engineering company (from BSP up to middleware) that has Macs in the building depending on developer preference. Their lead among software developers has eroded, but there are still lots of people who like them. Not exactly an...

I don't have any opinion on the business fundamentals of the UFC or WWE, but turning millions into billions isn't all that big a deal, especially when its other people's money. That's only 3 orders of magnitude difference (ie: 1000 times more). Plenty of people start off with nothing (e.g...
