Tom Selleck's commitment to Magnum PI prevented him from taking the role of Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Reply to comment by Tech_geek23 in Traditional Savings vs HYSA Savings by Tech_geek23
There are advantages beyond monetary for doing so. I use Schwab Bank for most of my banking, and it is linked to my Schwab Brokerage account. My e-fund sits in the brokerage account, invested in a money market fund. It doesn't pay quite as much as the better HYSAs, but if I need to make an emergency payment it's simple to transfer money between the two accounts.

Do the math on how much you really will make at Ally vs Chase (based on how long you expect to keep money there and how much money you will be keeping on deposit). That will give you a fairly solid number with which you can decide if it is worth the convenience of having everything at Chase vs the extra money you would get at Ally.

Reply to comment by DedTV in Three seconds of audio could end up costing Fox $500,000 by blaspheminCapn
There was a local radio station near me that used the sound of screeching tires to announce their traffic (on the 8's) broadcast. Every time I thought there was some car careening into me.
Of course, I stopped listening to that station.

The one I want to see is the Agents of SHIELD spinoff Most Wanted. Still hoping that one surfaces someday...

For all its faults, She-Hulk subverted this beautifully. A character showed up that we were supposed to remember, and Jennifer calls it out to the audience and forces a "previously on..." segment.

You may be the most badass soldier in the army, but when your daughter says "ride the tricycle", you ride the tricycle.

Reply to What movie you saw has the longest length? by -Rhialto-
"1900" -- six-ish hours or so? There are longer movies, but that's the longest I've ever seen and sat through in a single viewing.

Like I said, watch the show. You are railing against a thing that the show is not.

With all due respect, you have absolutely no idea what you are writing about.
Watch the show, at least one episode, then come back and write your manifesto. You're way off.

Kim Stanley Robinson's RGB Mars trilogy. I'd make a 10-episode series out of each book; 30 episodes total.

Reply to How to go about loaning to a friend by TooHonestImAfraid
> Needs 7k. Offered to pay back 1k per month for 10 months.
That's an absolutely usurious interest rate. No way would I charge that to a "friend", or even an enemy.
> Should I take a loan asking for $10.6k back after interest/fees (over 24 months) or use my emergency fund?
Neither. Don't borrow money to lend it out, and don't dip into your e-fund. If you don't have enough extra cash on hand to make this loan, don't do it.
