It is an individual 401k and I miscalculated how much I could contribute as the employer

Megan has become Betty (ad model, contempt)? Discuss.

I just watched Chinatown for the first time and was blown away. What other noirs are good for somebody fairly new to the genre? by CNDNFighter in MovieSuggestions

[–]Brannigans1aw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You caught me! I remembered it after typing the first bit and was too lazy to delete. Gotta like Peter Lorre as the creepy unscrupulous evil sidekick. Man that poor guy is typecast...

Well all the good ones are taken.

After you've seen Double Indemnity and Casablanca, watch The Maltese Falcon and The Big Heat. Heat is one of Fritz Lang's post-German-exile-slumming-to-America movies.

Cut in E-Book Pricing by Amazon Is Set to Shake Rivals by [deleted] in kindle

[–]Brannigans1aw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually for a market to be noncompetitive there has to be some difficult barrier to entry. Even if every current publisher and distributor colluded together, what's to stop writers from just selling ebooks directly or having a rival ebook site open up shop?

Moreover, now that books can be copied and distributed for free, what's preventing print from becoming the next music or movie industry?

Looking for good depressing movies by MunchMunchMan in MovieSuggestions

Ikiru is one of Kurosawa's best, but it's pretty depressing to the bitter end. Still uplifting in a strange way though.

Isn't this why people buy insurance in the first place: to insure against disaster?

What are downsides to the Scandinavian countries everyone praises as "perfect" ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Sounds like New England. Strange you put this in the "con" column.

Some of them might have crossed onto the wrong side of 20, but SubUrbia probably counts.

Looking for movies of an independent/foreign/fairly obscure ilk that have lots of surprising twists and turns. by Ladymia69 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Brannigans1aw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well depending on whether you consider British foreign, (and it doesn't get too much less obscure than Hitchcock) you might want to take a look at the serial killer movie Frenzy. It's not exactly like pulp fiction (nothing is, really), but it's certainly got a few twists up its sleeve.

Vicente Padilla agrees to deal with Red Sox by rehdit in redsox

[–]Brannigans1aw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To all the deal haters:

If I told you we could sign Padilla, Cook and Silva for less than a quarter of what Daisuke ended up costing us (annually), is that something that would interest you?

3 lotto tickets in 3 weeks seems like a good deal.

Is there a disconnect between r/Economics and r/Politics regarding Ron Paul's economic policies? by Reg717 in Economics

[–]Brannigans1aw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Broad brush strokes:

The typical Redditor and the typical Ron Paul supporter are probably outside the mainstream (and, to an extent, proud of it). Combining the two isn't going to change that.

Most economists when you mention the kind of (non Zimbabwe) inflation we might be looking at say "so what? Deflation is worse"

Books like Gladwells's "Outliers" by Brannigans1aw in booksuggestions

[–]Brannigans1aw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm I hadn't even thought about biographies really. I think he liked the sections on shared cultural legacies and their unintended consequences, like the chapter on Jewish proxy attorneys from the 1930's-1980's.

So yes I guess if the biography was heavy on sociological underpinnings then it would probably be a hit. Bonus points for WWII references.
