I need to get back into Last of Us. I loved the first season & love playing the 2nd game. The story is great for setting up great game play. Not so much a TV show. Also Bella Ramsey tries to play Elle with a teenager attitude that’s not in the game.

The girl playing Abby was considered for Elle, but she was too old for the younger Elle of season 1. She would have been a much better Elle if she was just a little younger.

why Cassian and his girl are on separate planets.

*spoilers -kind of*






She left so he wouldn’t give up the rebellion for her. When she left she had some info about the future that we didn’t find out until later.

Elon is the CEO from Jurassic World who thought he was going to bravely save people by flying a helicopter & immediately crashing it.

Salina now having daily morning flights out to Chicago, Denver, & Houston and nightly return flights from those 3 is elite.

that flight to Denver is hilarious. It stops in Hays. I have legit been on it with only five other passengers. They had to assign people to certain seats to make sure the weight was distributed safely.

That’s the Hays flight? I need to flight track that tomorrow.

Is it that Great Lakes prop plane thing or legit passenger jet?

Legit United SkyWest. CJR-200s. Before you had to collect your bags and recheck if you were connecting through. Not anymore.

With my parents retired, they are pretty much open to going anywhere, anytime. I’m curious if there is a good place that shows the cheapest business/first class flight deals? Just opened end date/destination, here are cheap business/first class flights.

I'm not sure how many destinations ita matrix lets you put in but it might be a good start

I had never heard of this. This is great.

I can’t find it, but someone tweeted:

The Pope stayed alive just long enough to tell JD Vance he didn’t know crap about Catholicism then felt his work was done. That’s a level of hater I aspire to.

LMAO he really wanted to meet the pope

https://x.com/FionaSmall/status/1913697239689548188

He did get to meet the Pope for a few minutes, then the Pope pawned him off. That’s funnier to me.

Dax nobody on this blog was praising Biden for his handling of the situation in Palestine. In fact pretty much everyone was very critical of it. I do not accept your dubious premise please shut the eff up about it

If hell is real then Anthony Blinken, Matt Miller, & Vedant Patel are going to have flaming fire pokers up their asses within 3 seconds of dying. So yeah, I too reject Dax’s premise.

Is that Paul F. Tompkins?!

Yes

I love that man so much.

I still think Paul F Tompkins would be the perfect person to play a parody of oscar Weber.

Should I rewatch any of the last season of Last Of Us or just jump into #2?

Just jump in. They also have a “last season” at the beginning of this episode.

The episode starts with a 2 minute scene right after the events of last season, then it jumps 5 years.

The little nods to things in the game, but not fully in the show (like to dog employee of the month).

My parents loved their first Viking trip but subsequent ones have been problematic.  Viking changed some ports late on one.  They also did one in Europe where the river was too low to have everyone onboard so Viking would bus everyone between ports and then they would board to eat/sleep.

Except for the low river one, I think they've generally enjoyed Viking for European trips and had bad experiences with them in North/South America.  I guess I'd probably see when the river's low season is before booking one.

This is a good point. They would rather do Ama that Viking, but they want to go late summer, early fall. That’s the worst time for low water. I might push them to do a Mediterranean cruise instead.

They’re also open to any cruise that they might find a last minute deal & they need to wait until July to make sure my mom is good to go. This may work out so they can wait to see if there’s any last minute deals & can see if water levels start dropping. If water levels are low they can just abort until next summer.

My parents did the Viking Rhine cruise from Amsterdam to Basel a couple years ago for their first over seas trip.  Absolutely loved it and still talk about it frequently.

A coworker of mine is on his first day back from doing this exact trip on Ama & loved it.

My dad got the Viking catalog last night & wants to do 7 different ones.

My parents have never been over seas. They’ve been to Canada, Mexico & Caribbean cruises, but never over an ocean. I’ve finally convinced them to do a European river cruise. I’m trying to plan it for them now. It’s a lot of fun.

Please tell me that’s not the judge in the dude’s deportation case

Amy Comey Barrett, the conservative supreme court justice that voted with the liberal justices against Trump’s ability to use the Aliens Enemies Act. She was the 4th no in the 5-4 ruling.

I bought some NVDA and FXAIX today but I still have a lot of cash sitting on the sidelines.

Just waiting longer dump it in?

I have my eye on NVDA but they could pull it back to mid 70's pretty easily.  The headline risk right now is just nuts.  Current overall pullback is not too concerning yet but if it gets to 17-20%... they will crush everything.  Hope oil keeps getting killed.  WW has the right idea.

I’m terrible at this stuff. I buy Vanguard stuff, but also go back & forth on “Do I buy $10k of P66?”
