  1. Moving in there. Going to treat my current home as the investment property.
  2. I just got the "cleared to close" notification for buying my grandma's house in Salt Lake City. Yay.
  3. Don't worry. It will definitely be delayed. We'll get Top Gun 3 before we get Top Gun 2.
  4. He's sorry. Let us never speak of it again. Will Smith Apologizes to Chris Rock for Oscars Slap: ‘I Was Out of Line and I Was Wrong’ T.CO Will Smith has issued an apology after slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.
  5. I see. But I enjoyed his all night roast of stuck up snobs that year. Best Oscars ever.
  6. The greatest deliberative body in the world (The Academy) is about to convene a special confirmation hearing for Ketanji Brown Jackson to ask why she's so soft with black on black crime.
  7. I know this part of our forum is generally a bit more lax with the nonsense and whatnot. And boy, there sure has been a lot of it. But this forum will not be broadcasting Q nonsense even if its summarily spanked with reality afterwards. So, any post past this one promulgating that particular brand of nonsense is going to be removed.
  8. My point was more that I think everybody in the audience could connect "Rata Alada" a million different ways immediately before Batman did in the movie.
  9. My man you need to start searching. But also ask for a raise commiserate with the job you're applying for since you're "too valuable" to move to that position. My certifications are all developer certifications on the Salesforce platform.
  10. Cruz yelled at airport staff in Montana because he was going to miss his flight to DC to ask this nonsense. He was delayed by a day and still got to ask it.
  11. Minor spoilers. Nothing too deep with the plot. What I didn't like: it seems like there were a lot of reveals that made each previous reveal meaningless. It felt kind of repetitive in that regard. And the like, main Riddle... Batman aka the world's greatest detective took that long to figure it out? Lol okay. What I liked: Literally everything else. Pale, fuck the sunlight, moody, shut in recluse Bruce Wayne? Hell yeah. Nobody is ever going to guess that he's the Batman. Hands down the best version of Gotham City on film. And it's not even close. It felt like something out of the comic books for once and a character in its own right. Batman Begins was the closest to that feel but this one blows it out of the water. Fuckin' Chekov's Batmobile? Fuck yeah. Its reveal was so well done. Totally contrived and lingering on people's faces way too long? Yeah. But I don't care. That whole sequence was great. The original score was great. I guess another minor complaint was the millionth time they needle dropped that remix of "Something in the Way". Lost its effectiveness IMO. But in general all the music was really effective. I can't believe how awesome Colin Farrell is in this, either. Just amazing what that makeup could transform him into. But at the same time it felt very much like him in his prime. More please. The fighting and choreography was really fun too. And brutal. Like you typically imagine Batman to be. And I love how much of a myth Batman is now that we don't need to revisit his origin story and we still get an effective "first" installment. As a matter of fact, we can call into question his origin story. All of that wrapped in a Noir serial killer detective story. Which I mean I read people say it borrowed a lot from Fincher. I think that's true. And I think it worked. I might make the time to go see this again in theaters.
  12. My career started in tech support for a software company where documenting bugs for software engineers kind of introduced me to that world. I started learning a proprietary language and platform on my own while being on the same company's implementation team. I obtained some certifications. I built things with what I was learning and that's how I started doing what I'm doing now. So what you've outlined above is exactly how I made the transition. And my degree isn't even in CS. So it should be definitely possible for you my man.
  13. Fire and Blood is the Old Testament of Westeros. Some fun violence and adult themes here and there interspersed with lots of "and Xerys begat Yerys and Yerys begat Zerys".
  14. It will be interesting to see what the flight recorder says. Those scenarios would all involve the aircraft spinning quite a bit which we don't see at all in the admittedly brief video. Plus, the speed of the descent just makes it seem like somebody was trying to bring it down. Just terrible tragedy no matter what the root cause is, though.
  15. There's some brief footage of the plane right before impact. I would not be surprised if there were some sort of foul play because planes don't just nosedive like that.
  16. Chinese airliner crashes with 132 aboard in country's south NEWS.YAHOO.COM A China Eastern Boeing 737-800 with 132 people on board crashed in a remote mountainous area of southern China on Monday...
  17. Oh wow. That's the same Rafael Cruz who said that stewardesses and pilots randomly come up and hug him for being such a hero about letting people spread a deadly disease in a tightly compressed space where they're all using the same air circulation system. I am shocked.
  18. idk it seems like maybe other justices also have some legal experience that Jackson might not have.
