Fair point. If I hadn’t heard any comparisons of Welles to Prine or Dylan, I don’t think I’d have a particularly strong opinion about him. I generally like his politics and think think he’s a decent song writer, but his style just doesn’t really appeal to me. The comparisons he draws - and his...

I think Welles is a clever songwriter, but I have never heard a song of his I liked outside of Malaise. To me, his lyrics sound a little too much like they were written by ChatGPT. Prine and Dyla have the ability to capture the incredibly complex human condition in incredibly simple prose. I...

My biggest post-college wtf moment was realizing that in business, you “plagiarize” daily. Presenting a memo to committee for credit approval? Use the notes on the company from the prior approval package. Duh.

I was going to say - I’m sure they will funnel this into football - a strong football program is the true purpose of any large University these days. Alabama is the goal, not a public Ivy.

Trump could be found with a dead girl or live boy, and his supporters would still support him. He could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square, and his supporters would still support him. That said - he is in for a rude awakening if he thinks that his Cult of Personality will be more...

Pretty interesting video that interviews some of these teenagers involved in these robberies and home invasions:

Perhaps the wife doesn’t “deserve” to have her business fail, but I believe the business entity deserves to fail. Perhaps that’s semantics. Another way I could phrase it - I won’t be buying their beer, and I doubt many other people will either.

His wife doesn’t deserve death threats, but she probably does deserve to have her business fail. When you go into business with a partner (whether spouse or not) you assume a certain level or risk that your partner does something to cause your business to collapse. In this case, her husband and...

Yup. APR = annual percentage rate. Key word, annual. Multiply the interest rate by the balance and divide by 12, you have your interest carry for the month. As that princ balance decreases, interest carry decreases, meaning more goes to the loan balance. Works this way on any amortizing debt...

No charges to be filed. It sounds like the student that was killed was the one who initially brought the knife. The other student grabbed it during the fight.

I work remotely and don’t think I’ll ever go into an office full time again, for those very reasons.

A crazy day for sure, but things had been building for a while. He cheated on his wife with a college student, hired her and paid for her abortion. Eventually these things tend to catch up to us. I don’t feel sorry for the guy - you do crazy shit for long enough, eventually shit will hit the fan.

What a terrible situation. Reminiscent of the Tabor shooting a few years back. From another angle, WSFCS is already facing a budget crisis, partially due to dwindling enrollment and reduced payments from the state. This will likely amplify budget issues as more parents homeschool or look at...
