Chris-

I want BG3 for ME

Apparently there’s another plane in his name currently in the air, so this might get even funnier!

@Joe it’s so back.

@Brian have you heard from your boss?

4(e) seems interestingly specific. I wonder how much chutzpah the DA/judge have…

Post pics this time, don’t be lame

I’ve started getting into the NYT Crossword; I’ve never really done crosswords before but I’m enjoying them, and have been doing a bunch since I’ve had a lot of down time at work. Right now I can complete a Wednesday (mid-tier difficulty) and can get through a decent amount of Thursday’s and Friday’s. Maybe someday I’ll be able to do a Saturday. I’ve also been enjoying the beginning of the Premier League, MW1 had a lot of fun matches. I also got my sutures out on Thursday! I can move my foot a little (up to 90 degrees) and starting Tuesday I can put 25% of my weight on it. Can’t keep me down.

No one on the West Coast knows what good fries are because of (a) In-n-Out, and (b) instead of fry stands (and slice shops, but that’s a different discussion) their beaches have taco stands, so they don’t have as many opportunities to experience what good fries should be like.

Landing in San Diego actually requires special training/certification because of that.

@stepee do you just order the entire condiment menu?

THANK GOD ITS PIZZZA FRIDAY A NEW SPOT! Got the specialty ‘Drunk Meatball’ - vodka sauce, meatballs, basil, ricotta. Absolutely spectacular, the crust was otherworldly.

I work in marketing/advertising so most of my work day is spent talking in corporate speak (which is especially nebulous when it comes to things like brands).

Yeah what’s up with that??

PAYE plans already allowed for spousal income to be excluded, but given that a number of tax credit require MFJ it's something of a false choice (and an obscenely inefficient system).

Tried to bear @ort's cross for him and all they really had in the feed when I looked were a very matter of fact article of 'These are the charges' and a super tepid bit from a lawyer claiming the charges might infringe on political speech. Who knows what the spin looks like now that more time has passed but oh my god please dude, do not go looking for it. Don't do it.

Might have to track him down on Bluesky or wherever he is to see how he's taking it.

One of the pizza places in my neighborhood not only has a fryer, but for to-go orders they puncture the styrofoam so the wings don't get steamy; they are crisp as hell and wonderful.

Sounds like you still have pizza left so you can still post pics.

POST PICS

I do taxes on a volunteer basis through the IRS' VITA program which I might've mentioned before. I'm also studying for an MBA. So maybe that's why!

This is tough. I'd go with pizza and wings because it's the weekend so leftovers are premium, and Five Guys leftovers probably wouldn't hold up well.

I'm am not a CPA but I will take your money.

Tolerance breaks are great, between pre-op and the immediate days after my surgery, and I went five days without for the first time in probably 3 years; came back to it and the highs were much more enjoyable/sustained.
