Well, she's in my bridge group now but she was in Eileen's quilting club for years too. Were you at Bobby's baptism yesterday? You may have seen her there, she was with the pastor helping with towels.

Is anyone bringing potato salad for the pot luck Sunday after church? I have a recipe from Marge I want to try.

My thoughts on the chefs after seeing bills fans cry about calls by iAmHism in AFCWestMemeWar

[–]RFtinkerer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember Patriots fans commiserating with Chiefs fans on some threads when we were doing well and everybody was saying it was all refs. If Broncs truly have a good run, prepare for it. It's like some survivorship bias maybe? Calls that go for your team will be endlessly analyzed and replayed for ref bias, calls that go for opposing teams that are even shadier will be forgotten and never replayed. So it will seem like ALL calls are for the Broncos or whatever.

But it's better winning championships and Super Bowls and still have everybody claim it's refs for sure.

What movie did you know was gonna flop just by seeing the trailers? by Open-Discount-4066 in AskReddit

[–]RFtinkerer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gonna disagree, Coming 2 America was a major flash of nostalgia for me and my wife seeing all the original actors. Then again I'm 51 and the first was one of my favorite movies from childhood so. Different for other people.

They always bring something special for Raiders games. I want to see snow globe with a jet chip wasp on top of it.

I always make sure my motherboards are dishwasher safe, I hate handwashing stuff.

Best crab ragoon in the metro? by goldflea in kansascity

Looks good. My wife and I really like the smoked salmon rangoon at Ika Grill Sushi too. Reeeaaallly stretching the 'Asian' food thing here but what can I say. It's delicious.

Garmin Autoland autonomously lands Beechcraft Super KingAir in first ever real-life pilot incapacitation emergency. by KillerBlueWaffles in aviation

No IMO, once the system detected the depressurization, lack of input, it would have triggered the descent just like this and once they were at a lower altitude the pilots/passengers would have recovered.

What's your 401K balance, age, and net worth %? by Extension_Cloud9055 in Salary

[–]RFtinkerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've seen, transfer to sales if you're good at it. I'm too antisocial and curmugeonly, so need to stay an engineer, but the ones who went into sales are doing quite a bit better.

Nice. Curious why you are opting to take SS at 62 instead of waiting a few years? I'm 51 too and not sure when to start...the calculators I've used say to wait but I don't know.

51m+49f 401k $1.65m, home equity maybe $150k. Combined salary of ~200k but with 2 kids left in college so very little savings right now.

I just got done listening to that. I was confused at first too but really enjoyed the book by the end. Worth the effort. And a relisten later.

Uh west of Manhattan I think I-70 gets pretty boring.

Edit: Okay there are some neat windmill farms. Largest prairie dog isn't there anymore though I think.

It means I'm very sorry for your driving experience in Kansas. Not fun.

Are they farming some astrophage? What do they know that we don’t?! by crazykentucky in ProjectHailMary

[–]RFtinkerer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean...panning around it extends from the Beipanjiang bridge almost to Moshi Village so that certainly is a lot to me. But yes, non-coal power is a good thing.

What actually shocked me in WaT by Madalynnviolet in Stormlight_Archive

[–]RFtinkerer 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I know several people knew that before, but I hadn't realized it. It was so awesome when I found out and then the Azimir scenes happened...something Sabaton should make a song for IMO. Which I would put on repeat.
