  2. No worries, my field also invokes 21 CFR.
  3. For my own education as a parent, what's the rationale for cracking down on jewelry? I could see anything with real value being a problem, but most cosmetic crap seems pretty harmless.
  4. Volt is hopefully up on that Bossa Nova life though.
  5. Yeah, the arrowheads they use for hunting are much more damaging than anything you've probably seen people target shooting with at archery contests or whatever. I don't hunt deer, but I grew up kind of immersed in the culture of it.
  6. You wouldn't believe the number of deer in my suburb. They literally just passed an ordinance allowing bow hunting in people's yards here to try and cut down on them.
  7. In PA, Columbus day is mostly observed as a holiday on years it coincides with the first day of deer hunting season. My kids' daycare is closed though.
  8. He's an investment banker. I don't know him that well, but tax mitigation is probably second nature to him already.
  9. I just had a life experience like something out of a Monopoly chance card: "A long estranged uncle contacts you about his will."
  10. I always enjoyed the caged heat of the politics threads. Best place to sharpen ideas is where you can argue them with people looking to stick around and have a conversation.
  11. The soundtrack alone is reason enough that people need to be watching Fargo season 4.
  12. I've seen that building, yeah. It's down by the Strip District, which is all little shops and produce stands and restaurants, awesome place to shop but super close quarters and really shitty for social distancing. You can actually fire up Google Street View for 33rd and Penn Ave, and head down Penn a bit to see Hulk and a version of Wolverine: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Penn+Ave+%26+33rd+St,+Pittsburgh,+PA+15201/@40.4600668,-79.9710293,3a,39.2y,275.48h,91.19t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szfuv1rhtfu1zQbvUHdgxcw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0x8834f3ca08e4d791:0xa79690d2c1edca58!8m2!3d40.4615683!4d-79.968786
  13. I never have any idea what to say at funerals. All my best stories about people usually involve them in some sort of context the other people at the funeral aren't necessarily going to appreciate. My own mother, we didn't have a funeral for. But here's the story I wouldn't have been able to share. So one year when I was a kid my big Christmas request was to get the 4 player adapter for my NES, because I already had a couple of games that would work with it and often had a bunch of friends over at the same time. And my mom, not being a technologically inclined sort, didn't fully understand what I was asking for and went into the local Toys-R-Us asking the clerks for foreplay. That's it. That's the story.
  14. They were alright. Decent chain option, but there are almost always better local places around. They were one of my little brother's first jobs though, so I had a minor sentimental attachment.
  15. Might also want to inspect every stripper. Just saying.
  16. Yeah, I just mean that if you seal up the windows too early in the year and the cooler sucks, you might just turn the house into an oven. On the other hand if the cooler is good it might actually help keep the heat out, so who knows.
  17. True, but as renters that's probably not in the cards.
  18. Ah, yeah not much you can really do then. You might hit up a hardware store and get some of those winterizing kits with the plastic heat shrink to go over your windows. That might help or hurt with it being too warm at night though, depending on the AC situation.
  19. We just dropped $11k getting a new furnace and central air. Finally put that stimulus money to good use.
  20. If I'm remembering who that was, he has serious health issues with his eyes that he's discussed publicly before. It might be worthwhile to reach out to him directly and ask what changes would be helpful (even if you have to do it over on SRK).

  22. My new fun game is trying to figure out who was who under a different user name on SRK. Hi Cosplayers!
