Agreed. I’m just a little bit younger than Bourdain and have done nothing but teach high school for the last 35 years. But between the value of my very modest house and my retirement savings even I’d be worth about 1/3 of Bourdain if I died tomorrow. I don’t understand how $1.2 million makes any sense at all. I…

It really is. At least some of it can be explained by the fact that he appears to have kept almost all of his liquid investments in cash. Still, that’s incredibly low for someone with that kind of annual income, over that many years. In addition to what you mentioned, maybe there are undisclosed assets offshore?

There were two fights. The first one was him getting beaten up by three guys. The second one happened after he chased them down, caught one, and stabbed the kid with a knife. You don’t get away with that second fight even in Stand your Ground states.

Did he get his Social Security Card back?

Anybody know what the red tag on his ear is?

I haven’t heard anything from the anti-Mo side on this dispute in a couple years. I have heard her file a lawsuit, film/record interactions with the various power-brokers to back up her case, etc.

Especially a Catholic Church. They transfer priests all the time because they want all their priests to belong to all their Churches.

Don’t know what Senate you live under, but the Senate I live under only does that stuff for Judicial nominations. The Committee Chair could block this by refusing to schedule a vote, but that would require he go on record, McConnell could block it the same way (not scheduling a vote), but a) that’s not anonymous, b) th…

If the artist did the smart thing and registered the copyright there’s $150k in statutory damages. If they didn’t they can sue for actual damages, which would probably include whatever fee Tesla would have been charged for repeatedly using the image for their own purposes.

No one’s expecting the girl to instantly integrate into her birth mother’s family. However continued contact with her kidnapper isn’t helping her, and is probably hindering her.

Their beef is very much in the working-class-guys-who-like-eachother-giving-eachother-shit tradition. The Steph/Bron beef has a litte more edge to it.

21 months for beating up an old guy, and sending him to the hospital ain’t that bad.

Don’t we have a Chrysler plant in Canada or something? What happens in that situation?

If this was anyone else there would be a mystery. But it’s Bernie fucking Sanders. Of course he’s ignoring his actual principles (ie: that a candidate he agrees with is running), giving up power (because presumabkle a son who agrees with him would vote his way a lot), and generally fucking up real life because goo-goo…

I wouldn’t be surprised if some rich asshole has made the Seychelles his “project,” donating, lobbying, etc. In exchange he’s gotten a fancy Consul-title.

I agree to a certain extent - Lebron would be joyful if he had actual support. The man is carrying the entire organization on his back. Doesn’t make his basketball any less thrilling to watch. I am a Kobe stan, but even I know Lebron is the GOAT (after Kareem >.> ). This is the NBA, not some travel ball team where…

I did S.C.A. heraldry in the ‘80s, and there were certain differences from the real world. And my memory is failing a bit.

The food pantry isn’t as bad as it sounds. It’s got a couple little things in it,like Ramen, because if you’re employing a bunch of High School kids part-time in their first “real” job somebody’s gona a) for get his lunch, b) fuck his budget so there’s no food money at the end of the week, etc.

Electrical is always fun. I’ve got a little “trust me on electrical work and your house will burn down and everyone will die speech” memorized that seems to do the trick. It helps that our store ended up with both the actual Master Electricians still working our district.

At 35 he has to pay for insurance or they get dinged by the employer mandate. That’s Federal. The real number is 30. As an HD employee, they have been absolute death on bringing in part-timers for more then 30 hours since 2015. In most cases they’ll throw you out at 25. In some cases literally. I had one manager who…
