    Household Major Appliances

    My last two have been French and I have liked both. Ice tray in the freezer isn't a problem for me because I am not a fan of ice in my drinks.

    Are Rogue Exiles going away in this one? EDIT: CW said Auto-battler which means POE TFT.

    No doubt, I am actually talking more about flippers, distressed homes, and investors who bought on ARMs.

    I know this is not great for the stock market, but my wife and I are cash heavy and looking for real estate to invest in. This may have been the best news we have heard in awhile because it means increased tightening of lending requirements and less people in the market which means desperate...

    Beach Honeymoon Destinations?

    I second any of the Excellence resorts, we were at the Riveria Cancun one last May and it was great. Dreams Tulum is also fantastic but it is almost 2 hours from the airport so be sure you have private transportation to and from the resort. The one I we have been to the most (and enjoyed the...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Suicide, has to be. Especially after her 17 year old son did the same thing a few years ago.

    Now we have found the root of your problem; it is your massive disdain/jealousy of anyone YOU see as an authority or "above you." I know your exact type because my own father is the exact same way. He worked his whole career as an electrician and refused put forth the tiny amount of effort it...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    It's been a long time since I looked at 5e but for some reason I remember base fighter specialized in longbow could fucking tear things apart because of damage bonus, attacks of opportunity, and feats.

    I am being given a business

    Do you have a plan this time? Last time you had a pretty unfortunate accident that took you out, but you at least know the cost of equipment and expenses for a month. You sound like you have a well paying job so now is the time to sock away every single bit of money you can in order to cover...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Fuck these people, indeed. Influencers, for as much as I hate the term and most of them as people, were the first wave of the new type of media and advertising that was not beholden to the same giant corporations. This was their first chance to break away and truly start to be something...

    MLB 2023: Houst*n wins, America loses

    Our household is new to MLB fandom and while our kids were watching the Astros/A's game yesterday my wife asked me how much Kyle Tucker makes a season; this is the game after he had a 3-homerun outing and has just been excellent since we started watching a few years ago. So I go to look it up...

    I always respond to this by saying "then go get your own mortgage." That shuts them up pretty quickly.

    I understand that, you understand that, but it seems like people keep trying to tell us how residuals work like we are idiots. Streaming changed the industry and now the model for pay has to change, and not just tweaked here and there with new terms.

    Barbie (2023)

    That dance fight video reminds me of some Zoolander shit and makes me more interested in the movie, not less. You, however, are an autist that does not understand humor and cannot form connections with actual human beings. You make up for those shortcomings by trying to be edgy and...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    It is funny that this could all be solved by both sides agreeing that each work is separate, gets paid a set amount of money for set amount of work, and that nothing in that work can be reused without a new contract for the new work. But the greedy motherfuckers who run the studios want to be...

    "Hrm, we already have pre-roll ads that make it AIDS to watch or switch streams....how can we make our platform more cumbersome to use and take longer to actually see content?" Sounds like a winning fucking strategy, these idiots.

    You are aware that the Yaun is still carefully managed to float with USD, right? So even if the Saudi's accept the Yuan for oil it is still trading in USD until China removes that float. Do you have any idea what would happen to the Yuan if they did remove that float? The day that happens do...

    You are being the problem again. It doesn't matter how good you are at the job if you are the one that causes problems and drama every goddamn day of the week and has to remind everyone of how good you are. Your boss is already looking for your replacement because anyone "reminding" them of...

    The issue with eSports is that they are trying to make it too much like real sports. I have really enjoyed watching the LoL worlds for the last few years but I don't think you could make me cough up money to go see it in person because the players are just playing and I'm watching a screen...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    This is an example of a perverse incentive and should be discouraged, not encouraged. These studios know approximately the worth of each of these people inside of a movie or show; they should have contracts that last a year (or season) and pay them a set amount for the time they work and then...

    Barbie (2023)

    I think Ryan Gosling is pretty good in movies but damn the deadpan way he talks through all that stuff makes me think this movie is going to be funny. Him playing the role as a *literal* accessory to Barbie sounds like he is going to get the best jokes and plotlines. I'm not going to see it...

    My second baseman with laser arm and hover propulsion instead of legs was undefeated. Best upgrade because you would catch people stealing second and if it was close they would just fight my most upgraded team member. The secret was that the hover jump attack was OP.

    Sure thing, Mist. Exactly what I would expect from someone losing an argument because of shitty takes. Next time maybe you can find someone that agrees with 90% of the dumb shit you say so you will feel like the "argument" is worth it.

    No, we live in a society where keeping up with the Jones' makes everyone think that they need more to spend more and our public education is so terrible that they would rather try and get every kid eating free meals and talking about 'inclusivity' instead of teaching them life skills like...

    You are looking at this from the lens of someone who views the people with money as somehow evil for taking almost all of the risk in these situations. We already have a class of software developers that get residuals for their code.... they are called fucking startups. Why don't software...

    Do you know why I know that Twitch as a company are hypocritical POS's? I watch a few OG MTG streamers, two LoL TFT ones, an OG Binding of Isaac streamer, Lex Veldhius (poker), and a variety of smaller retro and speedrunners. No female streamers because they are just not very entertaining (or...

    Ruffalo has Sound of Freedom on his mind when he makes these comments. His indie Trans-man-fleeing-red-state-for-abortion drama is not likely to garner the same grassroots groundswell. I would love for him and his ilk to all try it so we can watch them rage on Threads as they go broke...

    I don't understand how the answer to this question is not "absolutely, YES." There are very few things I think would be better than increased energy, mobility, and will to just go do things.
