- " limited funds have hampered efforts to find damaging information about his eight known accusers." - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:28 2
  - the guy deserves a fair trial and all. but using these funds to do it is so wrong. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 11:33
  - "the fact they allowed themselves to be raped as children really undermines their credibility" - Beaker Apr 12, 11:30
- I know undermining accusers is part of the deal; but the mentions in there are just gross, in this context. - b. Apr 12, 11:27 1
  - yeah, it sounds nasty. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 11:32
- oops ... not allegedly, he really is doing it, and the insurance company is trying to stop him. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 11:20 1

Because STIS, how difficult is it to set up your own retirement fund (i.e. 401K, etc.) - Stephen Apr 12, 11:07 17
- Thank you all, I now know where to start my research. -- nm - Stephen Apr 12, 11:45
- Go to fidelity or vanguard. Open an IRA. Pick a target date retirement fund. Invest. - spamlet Apr 12, 11:15 1
  - fwiw, my company stopped offering fidelity's target date funds earlier this year, as they'd underperformed vs. other options. -- nm - b. Apr 12, 11:22

- That reminds me, I still have $500 or so sitting in my Fidelity IRA rolled over from a previous 401(k). - znufrii Apr 12, 11:09
- if you just want a traditional or Roth IRA, it's as simple as opening a bank account -- nm - pixitude Apr 12, 11:08
- Wy not an IRA or Roth IRA? -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 11:08 4
  - I don't know! - Stephen Apr 12, 11:09 3
    - Do a Roth! -- nm - lileve Apr 12, 11:31
    - traditional IRA, your contributions are pre-tax but the distributions are. with a Roth, contributions are after-tax but distributions are tax free - pixitude Apr 12, 11:15
    - it would be an IRA, unless you're setting it up through work, when it would most likely be a 401(k) -- nm - znufrii Apr 12, 11:12
- Your dad what... oh... phew. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:08 2

1993 poll: bigger post-Cheers succcess -- Ted Danson or Woody Harrelson? -- nm - pixitude Apr 12, 10:53 40
- Woody is starring in lauded features. Danson is a tv actor. -- nm - David Apr 12, 11:34 4
  - TV is the new movies -- nm - pixitude Apr 12, 11:35 3
    - Movies have night and day more prestige. -- nm - David Apr 12, 11:45 2
      - Sure but tv star versus movie sidekick is a tie. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 11:48 1
        
        He's getting meaty roles. He is one of the Bug 25. -- nm - David Apr 12, 11:56
- Woody - its not even close -- nm - Epiphany Apr 12, 11:27
- Danson --- He's worked steadily for 15 years. Woody's only rebounded within the last 3 years and on his own hasn't really sold a success. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 11:15 1
  - Woody has worked just as steadily, probably more, since Cheers went off the air. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 12, 11:48
- Woody. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 12, 11:00 1
  - The 2 Oscar noms really help the arguement. - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:22
- Woody -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 10:59 13
  - I have seen him in THREE things since Cheers. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:12 12
    - White Men Can't Jump (oh wait - we aren't polling to guess which 3?) -- nm - JenBro Apr 12, 11:37 1
      - That was before Cheers left the air anyhow -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 11:37
    - and one of them will make well over $350 million at the BO -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 11:13 9
      - Okay, ask this question 2 months ago. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:14 8
        
        Woody still has a great role in NCFOM plus Zombieland. Ted has critically acclaimed roles on TV shows no one watches -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 11:15 7
        
        You are high. -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 11:43
        
        I would question the "no one watches" with shows that stayed on air for 6 years, 3 years and 2 years (and not including Curb). -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:17
        
        Lots of people watched Becker. - Beryllium Apr 12, 11:16 1

        I may have just changed my own mind... -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 11:16 1
        
        Yeah, that was my pont with the "2 months" idea. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:18
- Bank accounts = Ted -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 10:57 2
  - he's worked steadily in TV, although not at the same level as Cheers' success. Woody has had the better movie career -- nm - pixitude Apr 12, 10:59 1
    - True but handing his wife 30 million in a divorce is something I doubt Woody could do. -- nm - Iron Spawn: T minus 2 days Apr 12, 11:00
- Ted who? -- nm - JenBro Apr 12, 10:57 12
  - CSI Ted, Damages Ted, Becker Ted, Bored to Ted ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 10:59 11
    - "Clear-eyed Ted. Sober Ted. Complete stranger Ted. Impartial Ted." -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 11:21

    - no one here ever expects sarcasm from me do they? :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 12, 11:04 2
      - You are the AntiPixie so when you post like him we do the doggy head tilt out of confusion -- nm - Bacon, via droid Apr 12, 11:06 1

      - If his OPS is 1.1 now, what will it be when he has his strength back? -- nm - David Apr 12, 10:40 3

    - Yeah, you've got another top tier team in your division, you can't keep trotting that out there with Trout in the minors killing it. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:36 1
      - I am pretty convinced at this stage, there is nothing that Trout does not do better than Wells. - groiny Apr 12, 10:38
