    You people are such a bunch of fat slobs, I don’t really blame anybody for leaving. I suggest hitting the gym and maybe a shower every now and then if you would like to bring people back.

    @89th said in So where’s the Colbert Canceled Thread?: Strongly recommend watching this conversation about loss and grief. It’s what I think of when I hear about Colbert. It’s moving. I think particularly about what Anderson Cooper related about his mom about the ‘why me’ question. When Christopher Hitchens first wrote about his (ultimately terminal) cancer, he said something like the following: “ To the dumb question "Why me?" the cosmos can barely muster the reply: ‘why not’.” I had that firmly in mind throughout my sickness.

    I just sent a message to GK on FB, if he doesn’t return because of my request, NOTHING WILL WORK, unless of course @Horace sends him some fresh figs.

    I’ve never seen the latter except in civil engineering. State licensing was seen as totally unnecessary when I graduated BSEE in 1990. I remember my grandfather (BSME from MIT class of ‘28) implored my mother to make me take the exam. He didn’t realize how irrelevant it was in the EE space.

    So what kind of music? My kids watched the Trolls movie recently, which is basically covers of hits… my 4 year old son is humming Motown Philly by Boyz 2 Men… it’s a welcome treat compared to normal stupid toddler music.

    You know, seeing that Nvidia is worth more than the combination of: Apple, NBC/Comcast (all the Universal movies, too), Disney (all the parks, movies, merch, ABC, ESPN, etc), Starbucks, McDonalds, and Coca-Cola… that really is insane.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Quickbooks, WTF?: I went online to buy it last night. It’s now a subscription service at frigging $900 per year! And that’s the essentials package. The average mid tier is $1400 per year. What the actual bleep? Don’t forget about the best part. After you pay, you get to actually keep NOTHING!

    An update, evidently a technician had been out to the house earlier that day because a propane delivery guy smelled the leak that morning and warned the homeowner. The technician came out, inspected it, and told her there was no problem and specifically told her not to alert neighbors or the authorities. That technician was found guilty today of involuntary manslaughter, and is facing 10 years in prison.

    Lutnick (or Nutlick) is about as genuine as a $3 bill.
