    Challenge accepted. So here's the real scoop. Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen got tired of absolutely dominating every skateboarding competition they ever entered. But they kept practicing, and practicing, and practicing, until Rodney pulled off a one foot Casper into a Fakie Darkslide at the same...

    From my cursory research that fund was created Feb 7 2023. During that same time frame the S&P returns are 28.8%. So, in fact, beating the S&P. 1 year is not a great barometer when comparing to something as tried and true as the S&P

    I'm trying to imagine where you live because chinese menus everywhere I've been in the US are the same as they are here in Connecticut. Like it's just one big franchise. And they all have like 80 things on the menu. And dumplings and wontons (fried dumplings) are heavily featured An American...

    Nothing new. It's in their interest to do that. It means they can slightly refurbish all their other build guides while making new "this is dead" youtube videos for views... aka actual money. The bigger the content creator the more full of shit they are

    Well, that Atlas node isn't new. Packed with Energy has been around for a while in that form for like 2 points for a long time. https://poedb.tw/us/Packed_with_Energy I've been using it since at least Sanctum

    Okay, but you have to understand how weird that is. Never saw them on a cooking show or in a movie? Never saw them on a Chinese menu? In 1950 I would expect that to be true. In 2007 though? That's kinda wild man. Especially since, presumably, these Asian guildmates of yours were explaining them...

    Diablo 2 lives on and is still amazing with Project Diablo 2. Season 9 starts April 12th. Tons of QoL and end game features. Basically D2 if it had never stopped being developed by people who actually like video games

    Do you live in Antarctica? And how was that the best recipe you could find on the internet? The pioneer woman sure does know how to make Asian style dumplings... Whatever you want to call them almost every culture has "dumplings". Filling in small pockets of dough. Ravioli is a dumpling...

    So I read your Spoiler @Slaanesh69 because I don't really care at this point about being spoiled. A lot of those elements are in the show but they kind of fall flat because of how they are presented. There is no "hook". Stuff happens because it needs to happen to advance the story. Some of the...

    That might be the case but the first season isn't illustrating that very well. Auggie is one of the worst type of characters imaginable. But from tidbits shared here by book readers it does sound like maybe D&D strike again. Even when the source material is complete they are hacks. I finished...

    Beetlejuice 2

    Some thoughts on this. This style of movie was wildly popular in the 80s and first half of the 90s. The "dark" comedy that really was playfully dark instead of tragically dark and was much more comedy. This isn't a remake or reboot, it's a sequel with a lot of the original cast unlike...

    Looked up info on the books because I knew nothing about them but now that I know they were written by a Chinese author the lazy, silly story makes more sense. Every piece of media I've ever seen/read from China was MacGuffin central. And this doesn't feel any different. Also, now that I know...

    The weird "messenger" chick that looks like The Faceless Man annoys me. Don't know if it's the character, or the acting, or the fact that she looks like a man from GoT, but she annoys me.

    Heavy exposition and physics is literal magic to most people even today. Theoretical physics is so far beyond magic it actually seems dumb. The scene with the nanofibers cutting a synthetic diamond will not hit, at all, with the large majority of viewers. It will seem like cutting through...

    There's definitely some kind of psychedelic euphoria going on with Americans at large. Mist isn't wrong that most people seem to be fine with spending while also creating large sums of debt, all while "feeling good" about it. And spending it on frivolous things. Before Covid a lot of the...

    Oh yea? Costs ~5.12/lb for a rib roast for you? K. Rib roasts are $14/lb at bottom tier Walmarts around here. You're either living next to a Cattle Ranch and know the owner, or you're full of it. But nah, none of us have ever thought of magically getting Prime Rib for 1/4th the normal price as...

    Meat prices are completely out of control. And the quality is the worst I've ever experienced in my adult life. I have a theory on this. Way more restaurants are selling way more food because of how lazy Americans are, thanks to Grubhub and Doordash, etc. And those restaurants get first dibs...

    Also, traditionally American "cheap meals" were always still much more expensive than immigrant cheap meals. Go figure people from a rich country don't know how stretch money when feeding themselves like people from destitute countries.

    Chicken with cream of mushroom soup over rice was a staple in my house. "Living it up" was a London Broil. A lot of these things aren't cheap anymore. Hipsters and cooking shows have artificially, massively increased the price of a lot of what used to be "cheap cuts". Even chicken thighs are...

    Not as bad as it seems. The wand mastery that gives 150% of spell damage gained as attack didn't stack with the same stat from the gem, so you just take that mastery now. So it should do ~600 mil instead of 1.3bil etc... should still be quite strong
