    Scorpions

    Haha. I lived out here for 25 years before I ever saw one in person, and a lot of that time was spent in the suburbs right on the edge of the desert. Then again that streak was broken as soon as my wife and I got our first house. Didn't help that they were newer builds over old orange...

    Hawaii

    My wife and I did a week on Kauai in December a few years back and it was great. Stayed at the Sheraton in Poipu and were happy enough with it though we were actually right by the beach. We did a helicopter tour, catamaran to the Na Pali coast for snorkeling, bike ride down the road to Waimea...

    Fighting for so long in HS on my wood elf warrior and bottoming out my faction, only for it to somehow wrap around to max ally. You're damn right I grabbed an OT hammer!

    Swing by The Pig and Butcher for dinner. Place was fantastic, we went for a Sunday roast but the stand out by far was the rabbit pate. Fucking delicious. Our Airbnb was in Camden but the tubes make getting around easy as hell.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Everything about the game was great, so much nostalgia after all this time. Spent so much time early on just tooling around in gfay and crushbone. Then one day finally "getting" it and leveling up at a decent pace. That ah-ha moment when things finally clicked, that was great. Playing with an...

    Second that, Aria is great. That's our preference as well now whenever we go. That mall is really just for making your way between Aria and Cosmo.

    I'll be there for the AFC/NFC weekend. Some of the guys I work with have gone for that every year for like the last twenty years.

    I'm on that same T-Mobile plan and have used different sim cards with no impact to my plan. Although cutting one down to size works too.

    Arizona: Phoenix Suburbs.

    I grew up in the suburbs out here and wouldn't want to move back. A lot of people are moving inward once again so your cheaper housing will be in those suburbs, but the quality of life (I think) is better if you can stay more central. I've got some friends living in Coronado which is just North...

    Just got a Nexus 6P to replace my 2014 Moto X and I'm loving every minute of it. Did some low light photo comparisons with it versus my wife's iPhone 6S and we both agreed the 6P did a better job, so that was nice. My $30/mo. T-Mobile plan just renewed but as soon as this month is up I'm...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I assumed Cad's question to be leading you, a little purposefully. Essentially, maybe you're saying you're satisfied but you aren't quite. Perhaps you've fallen into a boring routine with the wife, versus the new prospect of this other broad? You didn't really drop a number or specific...

    I grew up in that area too and would be in the same boat as you if it weren't for moving over into the Arcadia area. I can believe your bike incident but on the other hand, I've only had one major problem in the last ~3 years of riding around a lot. And that's split between road biking a nice...

    Phoenix & Arizona

    Suburbs or something? The greater metropolitan area sucks, but central Phoenix is great. 7-8 months out of the year we're riding bikes to bars around Arcadia, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Downtown Phoenix. The last few years have seen a lot of improvement to the central areas as a lot of people have...

    Phoenix & Arizona

    Last year we had maybe one week like that, this year it has been 2-3. Definitely not the norm, though. Wasn't entirely surprised given during the winter you'll usually have a week where temps fall below freezing and you need to cover some plants overnight, but this year there was maybe one night...

    Oh for sure when that leaked it was another major blow to consumer confidence in them. I think their laptop success is largely because of how well the Thinkpad line was setup for them. Kind of hard to mess that up, except for me at least they eventually found a way. Three or four years back I...

    Yeah. I loved the turn Motorola took when Google took over, but felt the Lenovo acquisition would ultimately be bad. It was nice they let them continue as-is for a while (love my Moto X+1) and this next generation looks like an improvement, but this might be the end of the line for me. I'm a...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    A coworker just finalized his divorce not too long ago. They have two kids together, but the entire process was pretty rough and seemed to take closer to a year. The shittiest part about the situation? She was dealing with some mental issues and initiated their separation, and at one point...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    One is an INTJ (spoiler alert I'm almost through 2014 and that was an awful derail among many other awful derails) and the other I didn't see a type response from. Perhaps rather than debating top vs bottom, we delve into whether one or both are power bottoms?

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I was 14 when my parents divorced. It was fairly obvious to me at the time that their relationship was shit and it made the most sense for everyone if they split up. If it messed with anyone, it was probably my youngest brothers (the aforementioned twins) who were 8 at the time. I've got a...

    That's the situation with my mom. My grandparents have offered to help her get help. My brothers and I have offered. She simply refuses and as such her situation will never change. At some point you have to cut your losses, and that totally sucks, but you can't control everyone/everything...

    ^ this. I owned the original and then upgraded to the X+1 last year. Both have been great phones. I liked what I saw today for many reasons, though one major beingit looks like they stepped up their camera game big time.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Ahhh shit. I'm about 1500 posts in so things were still going well in his divorce proceedings. I suppose I'm not surprised to hear it took a turn. I don't know the particulars of their accounts/agreement, outside of the fact they agreed to mutually cover the cost of the wedding. Sucks for her...

    Only 300 posts in but committed to reading through everything, for better or worse. Figured I'd share my situation in the meantime though. My wife and I have been married two years now and things are fine. We also lived together for five years prior at the insistence of her dad. To start it...

    I'm interested in hearing about your experiences with it. I've got a Moto X+1 on T-Mobile's $30/mo pre-paid plan that gets you 100 minutes of talk, unlimited text and data (5GB LTE cap I think). But Project Fi looks pretty slick even though I'd be paying more.

    Great thread. +1 for AFI, Strung Out, The Misfits, None More Black, Hot Water Music, Defeater, Rancid, A Wilhelm Scream, Minor Threat, Fugazi and likely more I'm failing to recall now. If you like None More Black, Kid Dynamite is required listening. Jason's (lead singer) prior band. Bandmate...

    The "years of contention with no title" vs "going all in for one season for a title and sucking in perpetuity after" hits especially close to home for me when I reflect on the Suns and the Diamondbacks. Watching the Suns go on runs in the 90's and 00's was thrilling, and I can appreciate...
