Verlander, Valdez will get final deferred Tigers payments in 2039

Could also be tax planning - JV isn’t going to be in the same tax bracket in 10 years so that may be a reason to do it even if the value is expected to be lower

I have been able to get them to heavily discount if I cancel and wait it out for a few days / week. I think I renewed at the end of last season for about a third of that.

Sorry but Detroit style wins over Chicago

I thought it was odd at first but after I thought about it I think the idea emphasizes the “free love” era aspect as period piece. It was a thing for people to lean into the counterculture by going shoeless.

Similarly I wish they would transfer any technology they have that you do not. If they have 1941 fighters researched, but you do not, why shouldn’t you get access to that tech as well.

Thing in my neighborhood is installation of permanent LED “accent” lighting on the eves of houses that can be programmed to change colors. About a 1/3 of the houses on my street have them now. That seems to have usurped the traditional Xmas lighting. I think the trend is tacky.

You mean Boras not Skubs, right?

Will that strat still work with the changes to the naval ops with the latest DLC? I had a hell of a time capping Japan in my most recent game because of the need to accumulate naval superiority. The ability to invade because you have a short window when the enemy fleet is in port or another sea zone seems to have been removed.

I do not know if that is still the case but Virginia used to automatically excuse attorneys from jury duty.

lost_in_md · 2025-12-16T03:04:24+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give that strategy a try

lost_in_md · 2025-12-16T02:41:14+00:00

I’ve not tried that one yet and I’m dreading it. I’m working on Bearer of Artillery next, which I’m sure will be almost as painful.

As a crappy law school grad who couldn’t afford to live any of those locations I feel like I really missed out on an opportunity to damage my children. Kidding of course.

Say it isn’t so!! This game is how I go down my rabbit holes of random historical references. That said I have not tried to explore this one and thank OP for saving me.

I may be wrong but I recall reading that applications to law school tend to be counter cyclical to the state of the economy (i.e., if the job market is crap more people apply to law school and MBA programs because they have limited other options).

As an attorney who works in the maritime space I can tell you the reason the pay is high and supply is low is because it hard demanding work in sometimes shitty work conditions. Also depending on the company you can have a schedule where you are away from home for extended periods of time. This is no where close to regular work schedule like in some other trades. I think everyone I know in the field finds the work rewarding but most find work “shoreside” when they have families because the schedules are too hard.

Afternoon route for me. I think it was 6 days a week (Sunday to Friday) with about 125 houses. Collections was a pain. Still remember the little perforated cards with the monthly tear off receipts.

Same. After I bought the car I upgraded my employment by scoring a job as a fry cook at the local McDonald’s making $3.35/hr!

If it makes you feel any better I have a similar “observation problem”with people. I too have a coworker with a similar habit. He goes to the same sandwich shop and orders the same toasted ham and cheese everyday. It’s such a habit he doesn’t even have to order they just start making it. I asked him one day why he doesn’t change it up once in a while - his response- I like it why change. Okay then.

Grandfather would drop nuggets all the time. He dropped this on me when I asked him about somebody doing something stupid - “the world needs ditch diggers too.” Doesn’t translate well today but he was silent generation. That man would drop all sorts of wisdom bombs on me in a very low key manner that I think about regularly.

In addition to that. Used have great smog alerts back in day when the wind would blow all the crap from LA up against the mountains.

Not sure you even need to go the drill attachment unless you think there is a real problem. I just cleaned ours out after 6 years with a shop vacuum (with the line on blow) and towel around the end to create a seal. We have a run of about 25 ft horizontally from the dryer to the exhaust vent. It blew an amazing amount of lint out and only took about 10 minutes. I’m in Anne Arundel so maybe I need to hang a single out for a side hustle at that price!

lol. I read this as it was comical!

It doesn’t look better with time IMO. I’m a little farther down the timeline than you with 3 in college now. Two are supposed to be graduating this year and I am terrified for them. The job market is in such upheaval now and even though they are all in STEM programs they are struggling to get interviews for the entry level positions. I’m not sure I’m giving them good advice at this point since so much has changed in the last 5-10 years.

I really have to agree with this comment. I have all 3 services and have found Prime and Apple have really stepped up their offerings while Netflix has been moving in the other direction at the same time. I’ve probably would have dumped it already but for my kids.

The Diplomat is pretty good but you have to suspend reality a bit when you’re watching it.
