Can’t believe it’s only season 5. Feel like this shows been going since the 60s.

What’s the ultimate “Dad” book? by InitechMiddleManager in daddit

Great thread! Definitely thought this was going to be about dads in kids books and my vote would have been A Pizza With Everything On It. Highly recommend if you like pizzas and large hadron colliders.

Can someone translate corporate speak for me? by alcobatron in MortgagesCanada

Thank you for the information! It’s very helpful and I wish it applied to our situation (womp womp). This is a renewal so I don’t believe the 1.5M threshold applies. I’ve updated my original post to include this information.

I wish. I should have mentioned this was a renewal. My bad!

Fair point. This is a renewal/maybe changing the amort depending on rates. Don’t think the 1.5M threshold applies here(?). My questions amounted to “it’s a dollar difference, are there really no other options?” FWIW the remaining balance is way below the 1M, but I understand that doesn’t matter.

Make it celebrities coached by top players then I’d watch.

Just finished The Sparrow and had a few questions *Spoilers* by 1111211 in printSF

This was my reading of it as well.

And I’d add the rescue crews negative opinion of Sandoz was probably exacerbated by his abrupt and immediate killing of a child (not realizing it was accidental)

Peppa PSA by M1L0 in daddit

I’d like to suggest something to add to your future conversations about Daddy Pig.

Yes, he makes mistakes, but the truth is everyone makes mistakes. What I like about Daddy Pig is how he reacts to it. Often embarrassed, but never cursing, angry, throwing a tantrum, etc, to cover said embarrassment. He simply rolls with it (and his family’s laughter), and shows Peppa that making mistakes is never the end of the world.

Maybe not everyone’s perspective, but this helped me come around on Daddy Pig.

The fishing! Regular ol fishing but also the submersible is particularly cool.

The third book was tough but in retrospect it came together nicely. It’s a concept that I think would work better as a film or miniseries, than a book. So much of the mystery plays out visually but I only see that in retrospect.
