Federal income tax started in 1913.
Maybe the sister was a ghost dependent.
I know 7 million people vanished in 1987 once the irs started requiring ssns to claim dependents.

Some books are better left as books. The team adapting the book to this format is gonna have to put in a lot of work to get the tone right.

I knew Dominic West (Mcnaulty) was British going in from Rock Star.
I didn't know that, and I couldn't tell!
I've never seen Dominic West in anything else.
I knew Idris Elba was British going in, and I thought he did a pretty good job with his accent. You can kind of tell there's something off about it, but I think that they made him slightly different from everyone else - a businessman not a street guy - allowed the quirks with his accent work.

I also didn’t know Lt/Capt/Major Winters in Band of Brothers was British
No way! I caught him in Fackham Hall (hated it the show) and I thought he was faking the british accent. LOL
Finished S3 Last night. My take away is that they've done a masterful job on the writing. I feel like I got about 50% of what's going down with the city politics. Don't know if my questions will be answered in the next two seasons, or will only be answered on a rewatch. The deals happen so fast, and most of the deal goes with what is unsaid.
This sounds funny, but I'm having a major problem understanding Cignetti (Littlefinger) I've seen Game of Thrones 4 times through and I keep getting tripped up by his American accent.
Great show.

If you don't do something because the grind isn't worth it - someone else will do it. Nobody wants to hire a 50 year old. If you take your foot off the gas, you'll be sent packing and will have no prospects.
If you're an over 40 white male, literally no one in this world will come save you, or want to help you. You have to grind until you can retire, there is no easier way.

I can't wait till you get to season 4. Masterpiece
I'm imagining S4 is where they 're going to start tying a lot of these pieces together. They're focusing a lot on policics this season.
All I know is, there isn't any way Stringer Bell comes out of this season alive. The street is the street and he's trying to be all Mr. Economics. Main theme so far in the show is that the street is what it is and you can't change it.
He pissed off Omar by sending him after Avon's hired muscle.
Worst of all, he pissed off Avon for A.Having Dee killed, B. Putting a hit on the Muslim Brotherhood Brother, and C. Getting in bed with Prop Joe and ignoring his orders.
The police are basically a non-factor in this show and no one can make a difference.

I have tried this series at least 10 different times over the years because I have heard how amazing and great the show is but it has just been too slow for me to keep watching so I give up
I'm only 4 episodes into Season 3 on my first time watching, I can say this - all of the "action" in this show happens beneath the surface of what is shown.
It's not an action show, its a drama. Lots of slow burn going on, I don't think anyone on the main cop squad has even fired their weapon yet. As far as the gang shootouts, it's amazing anyone is hit at all. :lol:
You're not wrong, it's just different.

What about Frank Sobotka? I'm not hearing his name in any of this
Man, Major Valchek starting all that shite over a stained glass window. Did not surprise me one bit, old folks were petty af like that. Really impressed someone wrote that character and the actor completely nailed it.

We don’t watch a ton of series due to time, but in the past she’s really liked Battlestar Galactica, NCIS (Original and LA), CSI (Original), Firefly and Gilmore Girls
If she liked NCIS and CSI then yeah, she'd like this.
Just finished season 2. Damn they did my boy Frank bad.

Curious to see how Avon and Dee play out.
Well, that went a lot quicker than I expected. :lol:

I just watched the part in Season 2 where they're in prison and a bunch of people die because of rat poison laced in the dope.

The Wire (HBO)- First time watching

The Wire is one of those series that seem to come up whenever guys are talking about top 10 TV series of all time. For a show that first aired in 2002, I feel bad waiting this long to give it a shot. In my defense - I'm not a huge fan of police procedurals, organized crime dramas and I 100% had this series confused with the prison drama "Oz".
I bit the bullet and started it. A week later and I'm halfway through season 2. :lol:
Man, it's hard to believe it's over 20 years old. The scenes feel dated, as does the production value at times, but holy shite the writing is great. The acting is supurb, the characters phenomenal.
If someone asks me what makes it so good, the good characters do bad things, the bad characters do good things. They each pull off some brilliant maneuvers, and some bone head ones. As messed up as things get, you begin to realize the problem is the system itself.
Enjoying season 2 so far, I love how the writers layered in the dock workers and greek mob to the story. I really can't say enough good things so far.

Why are the gays of today so wussified? The gays back in the 80's could at least throw hands. I guess that was one of the benefits of being bullied their entire childhood.
He did a lot of talk about the differences between "outcome based" goals vs "process based" goals. A 10-3 record is "outcome based", wins and losses are sometimes out of your control. However a warp speed offense, an in shape defense, and an elite mindset is process based.
Sounds like his goals for year 1 are all about establishing his process and getting players with the right mindset. It's all coach-speak high level crap, but it's the first spring practice ffs.

An LSU win over that team would be a big upset, bigger than beating SC and Dawn Staley
I know nobody cares about other peoples bets, but hear me out. I put a $5 bet on LSU Women to win it all at the beginning of the season. The payout if I win is $55. LSU is in the sweet 16, and the cash out value is only $1.78. That pretty much tells you what Vegas thinks of LSU's chances.
I watched Manosphere, it was pretty tame/boring for a Theroux doc.
Justin was by far the most well adjusted of the ones interviewed, but he still needs Jesus. Living the way he does, is greed, the women are lustful, and he's very guilty of pride. Saying crazy stuff for clicks isn't the Lord's work. It's like he knows the right thing to do, but he doesn't know how to do it.

So the Chinese are taking all the pictures they want so they know how many planes are out there and where to attack. They also said on the story that our jamming systems didn’t do anything. I’m guessing they are doing this at all of our bases like they were doing in the Northeast last year and nothing happened. Why aren’t we taking these down.
Let's say they are Chinese. They're counting how many bombers are there on any given day. They don't care about the missions these planes are flying on, they just want data as to what's there.
We know they know this.
We let them fly drones over our bases because we're using them as a honeypot. We get to spy on their tech and observe their surveillance tactics.
They know we have Jewish Space Lasers - er.. anti-drone lasers that could take them down at any time.
So they know, that we know, that they know that we know.
Mickey-17 was bad, but not because of him.
He's a good actor for sure.
