Anything Goes 21: Sears Tower has a big cap hit

[Kurtosis]

... can't tell if that's a good dream or a nightmare...

Clearly a nightmare.

Wally World FTW

I don't mind Walmart.
I actually have a lot of dreams about being there... that is kind of weird

Are waiting rooms ever not awful?

Are waiting rooms ever not awful?

I technically work in a waiting room.

Wooo, I only use my actual office for about 1% of the day! At my office's reception desk the other 99%.

They're why ipads were invented.

Was bored so starting browsing some condos/homes in the San Diego area... and I gotta say, I'm awfully surprised a lot of these places aren't much more than they are. This is awfully depressing to look at. I would have honestly thought the prices for some of these units would be double what they actually are.

Same with Portland, for that matter.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

San Diego, the land that rageaholics hate because there's nothing for them to rage about and they know it and that makes them angry.

Other than the Chargers and Padres, I mean, but eh.... weather more than makes up for that.

Passing the Illinois bar exam apparently isn't a good indicator for intelligence. An attorney, over the course of the day....

- Couldn't figure out how to set up an account to receive an encrypted email from us (email included a giant, impossible to miss [register account here] button),
- Upon arriving at a time when I wasn't at the front desk, couldn't figure out where a closing was taking place, despite his closing being the only one taking place in the office at that moment, in a room immediately visible upon entry to the office, where his clients whom he met before were already sitting in clear view of the entry, and with a giant placard saying that his closing was in a particular room immediately visible upon entry to the office, and
- Couldn't figure out what the bathroom passcode was despite being one of only two pieces of information on a separate board that he previously looked at to find out our office's WiFi info (the other piece of information on that sheet).

Sheesh, c'mon people...

Took my daughter to Frozen on Ice on Saturday. Can't remember the last time before that I was at the UC for a non-Hawks game.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The newest Game Grumps episode just referenced Jon, the first time they talked about him since he left the show almost a year and a half ago.

The sky is falling.

I know that most won't get how big of a deal that this is, but it is, haha.

What's everyone's favorite podcast?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

The only podcast I really listen to is the Rooster Teeth podcast.

 

[Kurtosis]

I used to listen to the Ricky Gervais podcast a lot. Karl Pilkington GOAT.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Reminds me I still need to finish An Idiot Abroad at some point.

I'm not gonna tell you how I know this, but I have it on very good authority that the Illinois bar exam does not test individuals on the items you described.

I'd think that an intelligent person wouldn't have issues with them either, though.

Passing the bar exam requires endurance more than it requires intelligence though.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Passing the bar exam requires endurance more than it requires intelligence though.

Bar exam needs some tweaking then, too.

What's everyone's favorite podcast?

I just recently started getting into podcasts but so far I like startalk with neil degrasse tyson, screenjunkies movie fights and HarmonTown, which is done by the guy who created Community.

Also anyone on here listen to Serial?

I tried to get into it but it just frustrated me knowing there was no definitive answer at the end.

You have a passcode for your bathroom?

 

[Ben Grimm]

Agreed. Same with Law School. This may sound fake, but I know a guy who graduated from a top 10 Law School, passed the bar in 89, and is now working as a Nurse's Aide for $9 an hour. Character, caring about things beside self and $, ethics, intelligence, personality, professionalism, and treating others well are also important to success.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Blame the building management.

A lot of buildings with multiple tenants per floor have setups like this.
