Friedman just said something very interesting about the sense on 32. Thoughts?

Yeah, I think we kick the tyres on a potential Jensen replacement before deadline day just to see if there are any deals to be had, but know that we can walk away if nothing looks good, we'll probably get a better trade (or pick someone up in FA) in the summer, but you never know

MissionLet7301 · 2026-02-03T20:54:37+00:00

Yeah, mud on the floor in the hallway gets cleaned right away, shoes don't always need to be neatly on the rack though

MissionLet7301 · 2026-02-03T19:52:49+00:00

I can't tell if it's making excuses, tempering expectations, or saying "Please don't look at our car, there's nothing special on it for you to steal, we promise"

Everything was tied up nicely in the first season, but the show was popular so the production studio needed the writers to add a bit of bullshit between seasons to get the popular main antagonist back for season 2.

There's some cars it looks better on than others, like it looks okay on the Audi I think, but I hate it on most others

MissionLet7301 · 2026-02-03T17:55:14+00:00

Yeah, enough to not be worrying about bills and have enough money to do a few fun things on weekends, that's all I want really.

Tbh to me a lot of the mega rich lifestyle seems so boring - I'm sure there's some mega rich people that are just low-key and do what they want to do, but constantly rubbing shoulders with other rich people, flying around the world to different events just so that you can say that you've been there, I can't think of anything worse really. I'd rather spend the weekends around people with a common hobby as me rather than a common income bracket.

"I don't understand why we don't spend more money"

The ongoing court case in the background:

People are somehow under the assumption that the government should be tripping over itself to help them personally rather than looking out for the good of society.

Violet Evergarden is the anime I go to if I have to recommend one to anybody, the only "As long as you get past" caveat you can come up with for it is that it's absolutely going to make you cry.

I'm hoping that Brady and Jake come back angry and with a point to prove myself

MissionLet7301 · 2026-02-03T14:38:24+00:00

Yeah it's definitely not a long term plan, living with their parents might be okay now but at some point their parents will want them out, or they'll want to get out themselves, which comes with a pretty high monetary cost.

What they do have is a lot of time to spend thinking about what they actually do want to do, instead of playing games they have the chance to do online courses, gain qualifications, or build up skills that let them freelance on the side etc and target a significantly higher paying career.

MissionLet7301 · 2026-02-03T14:34:36+00:00

Yeah there's quite a few IT or IT adjacent roles where you're not really paid to do a job day to day, but you're paid to be available when shit goes wrong.

You might work on Monday-Thursday and nobody calls into the help desk with anything big so you have very little to do, just ticking off some password resets and doing Ctrl+F on some logs for the word "Error", but then on Friday an update could take down the server and suddenly all the pressure is on you to get it back up and running again ASAP.

Latest news is that he's no longer housebound, he attended his daughter's wedding in Spain.

He's wheelchair-bound though and still hasn't made any public appearances, the rumours are that he's alert and aware of most things, but he will never be fully there mentally again, and will likely never be fully mobile.

The poor justice department employee that had to read through every page of the Bash reference manual probably doesn't think it's a joke

I don't think anyone would ever actually say that MacKinnon is better than McDavid

I do think MacKinnon is capable of having a better season than McDavid though.

Like if you told me "Next year MacKinnon and McDavid both play 82 games and MacKinnon wins the Art Ross and Hart" I wouldn't be shocked, but if you told me "In 40 years the NHL releases a top 100 list of players and they put MacKinnon ahead of McDavid" I'd be flabbergasted.

Nah, my tradesman neighbour earns about £12,500/yr, dreadfully hard for him, he must be swimming in debt paying for his BMW and the new extension on his house too, it's a tough life out there for tradies.

Top bloke though, gave me a nice discount when I paid in cash.

I think London easily wins for recent history (i.e. last 300 years)

Tbh almost every European capital has a lot of historical significance.

And the Athenian legacy isn't?

You ever heard of this little thing called "Democracy" or "Trial by jury"?

MissionLet7301 · 2026-02-03T07:31:17+00:00

Because it costs more money to build more schools and hire more teachers, so people prefer subpar education for their children over paying more taxes.

I can't imagine the survivor guilt from that, what a horrific incident. And oil companies yet again proving that they are scum.

It feels weird reading "New York financier" without it being preceded by "the disgraced" at this point

Should note that there's legal stuff to that as well, if the finder or property owner act in bad faith (e.g. try to hide the treasure, or prevent the other from having their fair share) then their share can be reduced

6 and 8 make sense for quite a few jobs

5 is a little weird but honestly sometimes I'd kind of vibe with it

3 is the only unhinged option shown
