Of course big banks don't like it ...they want to be the only ones to monopolize the Fed's money printing scheme so they can extract economic rent/interest from cheap ...almost free printed money.....douches...

Good article about the Philly accent...
Never thought I had one till I was in Colorado and this girl said she could tell I was from Philly. My a's apparently are nasally. I do say yous guys as well...
So what does Delco think about Kate Winslet's 'Mare of Easttown' accent?

One of my favorite bands ever. And yes they played this at a show in Philly and the reaction was exactly what you would've expected.

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
Winslet's accent in Mare was good, not perfect. I feel like Evan Peters leaned a little too hard into his and it came off a bit as an impression, though it was a pretty damned good impression of dudes I know in real life.
Some of the local references took me out of the show. First, no one says a Wawa coffee. It's just a coffee. All the place names - Ridley, Drexel Hill, Bryn Mawr, Haverford College, etc., etc. I get it, you're from the area, Brad. I did appreciate Winslet biting down into a cold cheesesteak for a quick bite at her kitchen table, that's the truth.
As for the show itself, it's legitimately good @Beef Invictus, watch it. Some of the secondary stuff didn't work so well for me - i.e. the whole mysterious caller / Dawn subplot that was painfully obvious the whole time and unearned, but the main plot's resolution and how it authentically ties into the show's themes while remaining true to the characters is outstanding storytelling.
As for The Killing vs. Mare, didn't the former start to go off the rails by the end? It's been a while. Also, that series was far more of a police procedural if memory serves, Mare is more of a family drama / character study masquerading as a police procedural.
Obviously, we all have accents, but the first time I became aware of mine was when I went to college - in the same state mind you - and it was pointed out to me over and over again. Thankfully, I do not have a Delco accent, I have a milder NE Philly accent, and that only partially. My father was raised in the suburbs just across the line mere miles away but his accent is far less pronounced than my mother's. My mother's father grew up in Fishtown during the Great Depression and had the thickest accent imaginable, so that might have something to do with it.
I had a colleague from California years ago who, after a couple of years working together, one day suddenly spat out in shock, "You have an accent!" So, it's mild enough to go unnoticed for a bit, but it's there.
Dude's really driving across the Delaware for a Pat's steak and he thinks we're the ones who are f***ed up? Pffft.

It did, but what I meant was that the lead character in "The Killing" was much better and more lived in than Mare, who was a tortured caricature of a working-class (or middle-class) woman who is exhausted with her problems. The way she ate was one of the tells, but I'm not going to break that down - I'm happy to just let people enjoy it. All I really care about are our standards, which have to be higher if we hope to be given legitimately great shows.

I started watching it last night....saw the first 3 episodes. I mean it is decent so far although not crazy about my girl Winslett chubbing up for the part. I will say....her accent seems a bit staged so it is noticeable to me at least. Still not easy to do so give her lots of credit.

Plans for today, build vegetable garden, hang ship lap, hang drywall, drink.
Leinenkugel and an Acid kuba kuba cigar aren’t terrible together. The cigar is way sweeter than I like but it’s scratching the itch.

I haven't had an Acid cigar in over a decade. Hell, I haven't had any cigar in probably five years. My go-tos were Rocky Patel and Davidoff

Vege garden built, have to get a maul tomorrow to drive it down more evenly, and then the soil and plants.
Started the ship lap but realized I through out my old contour tool thing(I can never remember the name of it) and had to put that on hold.
Moved on to ripping up the ugliest carpet known to man.
it’s more orange than brown but the pic came out weird.

It looks like a giant pizza.

Those contour tools are genius. I don't need one but I feel like I should have one
