My stupid monkey arms make it really hard to put up a decent bench press.

lol....glad it's not just me. I have absurdly long arms. I've been getting shit for it my whole life. 

I got 225 for 8 in my glory days. Shoulder problems then surgery ruined benching for me. 

That catch standing after review is absurd.

Up there with Troy Polamalu INT against Peyton

3.1 mil to live in bumblefuck and be just ok. He is a Philly/PA native. 

It's quite a while now. 2 years after marriage you can apply for green card. After 5 years of holding green card you can apply for citizenship. Then you take the test, then ceremony, THEN you finally apply for a US passport. The final step takes about a year. Green card is fine though, you can just keep renewing. They last for 5 or 10 years.

My GF has been in the US for ~11 years and she just passed her test last week. Huge deal and a long time coming. She's not the norm though, she came via work visa.

Like I said, this is unrealistic for most. Asylum and work permit is sufficient and then you're basically in limbo until your case gets reviewed which is also a crazy long process. I know some who have been here for 7-8 years and still waiting for asylum review.

Not if they are in the process of getting their citizenship.....or if they have children that will be left behind that will need care. 

If they are violent gangs, all for it. But, not just rounding up illegals just because they are illegal. 

You mean in the process of asylum, work permit, SS number, identification, etc.

Actual citizenship is a pipe dream for 99% of these people. Residence/green card is more realistic, but that also rather far off and takes forever.

In general, the amount of uneducated comments I see thrown around regarding "illegals" without actually knowing wtf is going on is astounding.

Auto our good friends are officially relocating to Atlanta. This means we will more than likely put our house here in Ohio on the market in the spring. We will put most of our stuff in storage and move to Lake Cumberland where our in laws have a vacation home. Plan is to spend the summer there on the lake while we look for a place in Nashville. 

Have you started searching/browsing? I've been working with a few local realtors and lenders. I didn't do a preapproval yet since I just had one expire, but the realtor said the average for Nashville is ~7% which is slightly higher than what I got when running one last June. Fucking swell. 

I'm about to bail on it all, fuck off for 2 months to travel, and sign a year lease in a baller nearby apartment building in Denver. At least I'll have a pool. 

The worst is over here. I just holed up and binged all the shows. I think it got to -10 a over a few nights. 

Still doesn't compare to 2 years ago, it got to -30. First time I actually felt pain from cold.

Ok day 2. How we doing with egg prices?

I know people think I hate trump or whatever but this trump meme coin is easily the biggest scam ever in the history of meme coins. 80% at launch is said to be allocated to trump llc and fight fight fight. They could clear 15 billion dollars when they pull the rug from what I read. All on the same day he announced he’s not refunding the thousands of tickets for people who paid top dollar to attend the inauguration. He said your ticket is “commemorative”. He is a genius at grifting his own fans

I'm mad I didn't get involved. I saw it popping yesterday evening. Thought it was BS. Woke up, saw it went off even more.

In the meantime my friend made 20k overnight. Dammit. 

Or hiring. 

I only turn it on for job searching or applying. I just turned it on last week because I saw something amazing pop up. It allows you to see who viewed your profile and provide "top" jobs based on your profile/resume. Price also went up, but still worth it IMO. 

Not really, they all pretty much lead back to LinkedIn. 

You'll see posts that aggregate all remote only job boards, but they're all mediocre.

Just use LinkedIn Premium and filter by remote. It worked for me.

What’s your go to source for Roms? Googling and Reddit researching now and it’s rather overwhelming.

I’m setting up Openemu on the Mac Mini tonight.

Everyone has it figured out, didn't you know?

You guys all still want Ryan Day fired after the season right??

He has 1 more must win….then he buys 2 years from me maybe wanting him fired.

I’m on the fence. 

What a relief. 

Texas has some players. I like our chances against ND.

I also have a few year old Mac Mini collecting dust. I'm sure there's a way I can make it happen with that.

Take less money and be happy. No brainer.

If you need help budgeting a pay cut my wife is a certified budget coach and is REALLY good at getting personal budgets under control. 

Shameless plug: https://startsmartbudgeting.com/

Interesting. Does she get a lot of clients?

I'm a huge fan of YNAB. Started using it in 2019, changed my life. I didn't need a coach though, just used Google. ;) 

I'd like one of those consoles that has like....everything. But I don't know what's legit or not. 

After watching Running with Speed, I really want to play Mario 3. 

Sonic would be fun too. I was a major Sega fanboi.
