I'd like to see stats to back this up, but I thought chess had exploded in popularity lately. But, lets face it, it's an esoteric hobby - just can't compete with popping a Schlitz and watching Nascar.

As always. BTW, just read an article about his Liege performance. The hill he got away on he held 530 watts for 4.5 minutes (8.2 W/kg). Jaw hit floor.

Tadej is at -450. Geraint is next at +450. I think we can safely assume everyone will have Tadej on their team, so he essentially doesn't count. I wonder if there has ever been a more prohibitive favorite. He may well win by 10-15 minutes.

I try not to have a zillion lines of quotes. Sometimes this board moves text around in weird ways when you edit. Not intentional.

He has said all along he wants the double. With Vengegaard in real doubt for the Tour he has a good shot. IMO right now if he only did the tour he'd pull a Lance and win by 7+ minutes. The spring classics have been ridiculous. MvDP and Tadej have just torched the fields. The only one that...

So ridiculous you just have to laugh at stuff like this. Funny enough I have no idea if I signed a non-compete. My area is so specialized I'd only really be of big value halfway across the country. I'm afraid to even ask HR that question - talk about a red flag. :lmao:

I am struggling mightily to see how a non-compete makes any sense at all for a nurse, pediatrician, x-ray tech., etc. For some reason this reminds me of this case (the restraining order on at will employees was an abomination - that judge should have been removed from the bench.)

This is tempting. I'm greedy, but damn that's a pain in the *** to track and keep straight.

I served on the opposite - civil trial where a "hurt" lady sued her own insurance company after an accident. It had everything - shyster doctors, multiple chiros, outrageous damages. I was 18 at the time and one of the claims was loss of consortium. When we got to the jury room one of the...

Liege Bastogne Liege tomorrow! Also - this guy has all the skills.

Calls from my kids freak me out as it's unusual (they typically text). A vision of a mangled car and my kid calling from an ambulance drifts through my head - I call right back.

You may have gotten pretty lucky there. Fidelity tends to be pretty good. I have Empower, as well (they're fine, better than some worse than others).

Well, you have to be lucky enough to have Fidelity as your 401k provider for that to be relevant. To roll the opposite of normal, IRA to 401k, is possible. Just like the rule of 55, though, the 401k plan has to allow it.

:scared:

No it's not. Conservative journalists dominate in radio and a lot of streaming venues (independent YouTube channels, etc.)

A good start would be not to hire a CEO that believes in rejecting the influence of the most influential civilization in the last 2000 years (i.e. "white male westernized constructs"). Completely asinine - such ideologues should be instantly rejected in news journalism. Yet they are lauded and...

I know, right? All the favorites - Teuns, Pidcock, Hirschi. Sideways raid/sleet at 40ish degrees for a while. Oof. Totally unexpected winner, but man Stevie Williams was shot out of a cannon on the last part of of the last climb.

The hegemony in charge of NPR evidently didn't like this, so they suspended this author and he has just resigned (I'm sure he was told to resign). Reason #439 why most of the large media newsrooms have lost the American people.

30ish years ago. Not too far off.

Personally I disagree with 3. I think it is the best option, in general. Three caveats - what are the fees in the current 401k (or new 401k)? They usually suck compared to ETFs. Does the new 401k allow for partial withdrawals at 55 (if you need this money and will retire at 55)? What are...
