Yes, you'd think. And yet it keeps going on, and on, and...
I think the grievances (fake or not) are their flippin' hobby. There's also a little mixture of "Hey, maybe we can stop whatever else is coming down the pike if we put up enough of a ruckus! Gol' durn libruls!"
I just wish some folks would stop taking the damn bait. YES, I'M TALKING TO YOU IN THE BACK THERE! WHOEVER YOU MAY BE! EVEN IF YOU CAN'T HEAR ME NOW!
As we reported on the show today: Sources at Utah tell us Utah has told the BIG 12 they do not believe they are a fit in the conference academically and believe they would lose significant dollars on the education side if they join the conference.
Grand Canyon University's equipment not loaded onto their plane so that they could play Baylor. Not to worry - the two teams' head coaches are brothers.
From Knowlton's Notes: "I made the difficult decision last week to part ways with head coach Mark Fox. This was not a decision I took lightly...." Translation: sacking a coach who goes 3-29 is a non-brainer thus a decision I was able to make.
Alternative translation: sacking a coach who goes 3-29 is not easy as I have to beg the major donors to fund his buyout and listen to their angry responses. I have no idea if I will have a job in July.
It's absolutely mind boggling to me that Cal had the bafflingly inept tandem of Mike Williams and Wyking Jones, and actually got worse at both positions...you can't even make that up.
The family can suit themselves as long as they don’t waste the money on an ecologically appalling standard burial - cremation, burial at sea, green burial, whatever; just no embalming and expensive coffin
And what little research I was able to do in 15 minutes showed that funerary practices may go back as far as 230,000 years ago (!). Nonetheless, my question stands and I suspect it is unanswerable.
Cremate me and dump me in Lake Tahoe (totally illegal but I don't care). I've told my brother to rent a great house right on the lake, charge it to the estate and just dump me off a pier.
And I think I said all this a couple of weeks ago but I'm going to keep repeating it for a while:
1. Make sure someone who will automatically know you are dead has a copy of your will (a lawyer is not good enough -- how will they know you're dead?). Make sure a kid or sibling has it
2. Set backup beneficiaries for all of your accounts, in case your beneficiary dies at the same time you do
3. Document all of your accounts and personal info and how to access them, and give it to someone you don't live with. This includes financial accounts, services such as cell phones and internet, insurance details, etc.
Sorting out an estate without any of this is a full time not very fun job.
I think this is very good advice and it obviously comes from experience. I bow to that experience with the knowledge that it is not fun.
I am looking at your list and realizing how important it is to have someones (plural) you can trust.
#2 in particular calls to mind the Exploding Turkey hypothetical. What happens if the most precious people to you are gathered together in one place and everyone dies all at once? Somewhat akin to not sending a company's senior management to a conference on the same plane.
Mrs Slug and I have told the boys to cremate us as we go. We've also started to draw up a list of places where a tablespoon or two of our ashes should be scattered.
Cremation. I have an obit written along with my will and trust. Though really I'll be dead so maybe the obit is superfluous. I also have completed TOD directives for most of my investments. (Transfer upon Death)
Once again DBD cannot be found on the main page. A victim of prejudice, ignorance, rapacious capitalism, wokeism, tyranny, lust, ageism, ANTIFA, the John Birch society, trans drag shows and going off the gold standard.
I hired Cyber Ninjas and they found that the Mustard coalition was 130% stolen votes. I've thrown out all the votes to ensure that the woke radical left don't corrupt this poll. And we'll keep voting until I get the results that I want.
How's your W4C March Madness bracket doing after yesterday?
Haven't looked. Will wait until Sun night to see how poorly I'm doing.
as expected .. not great.
took one look at results of yesterday and hopes of a payoff ceased.
Picked the Princeton win but other than it's abysmal.

It is amazing to me how fake grievances has become a full time business. Isn't it utterly exhausting for those folks?
Yes, you'd think. And yet it keeps going on, and on, and...

Knowlton is an absolute clown.

What do you want done when you're dead?
The family can suit themselves as long as they don’t waste the money on an ecologically appalling standard burial - cremation, burial at sea, green burial, whatever; just no embalming and expensive coffin
I've sometimes wondered what did humans do before there were funerary practices? Were folks left to lie where they fell and slowly disintegrate?
I assume just dig a shallow grave and cover them up? Or burn them like in Star Wars.
Ah, yes. The funeral pyre.
Even Neanderthals had ritualistic burial practices...evidence from Shanidar cave.
And what little research I was able to do in 15 minutes showed that funerary practices may go back as far as 230,000 years ago (!). Nonetheless, my question stands and I suspect it is unanswerable.
I already told my kids to just cremate me. They can decide what to do after that.
dont care since i'll be dead.
whatever the living people need/want etc is fine (or not) since i wont care since i'll be dead!
I agree but the survivors need the ritual to process your passing. And if you tell them what to do, it makes setting things up easier

Woke. It's run by coastal elites who are out of touch with red states.
Also the poll is closed. Blame the Colonel Mustard coalition.
