I tend to put regular red radishes in it, sliced on the julienne grater and carrots as well. I don't think it changes the flavor or texture that much, but the flecks of color in it are nice.

There are times when it would be nice if it was a little bigger. It's the secret ingredient to my coleslaw that everyone loves. I think having the cabbage sliced super thin gives it a really nice texture. The other secret is using way more sour cream and mayo than the recipes call for. If my...

I bought a fancy ass $60 mandolin once and the thing was absolutely terrible. One of the few times I've actually taken the time to write a bad review on amazon. Replaced it with this one, based on Alton Brown's recommendation...

Honestly, I can see why they would do it. In a shower like that there's no way to adjust the water temperature unless you are standing under it. Not being able to adjust the temperature during the shower would be a downside though. It would be better if the door was hung the other way so you...

Taco John's is worse. Regular soft/crunchy tacos are $2.99 there.

Any tips? I'm always trying to take a picture of the moon and failing.

Yeah, all that "management" is overrated and the fees don't seem that bad when you're paying them but when you consider what they would add up to compounded over 20 or 30 years it will really piss you off. This is definitely the case for me. I own half of a cattle ranch that is probably worth...

I would just buy a love seat off of Facebook marketplace, spray paint the words "masturbation station" across it, and have it delivered to his apartment.

I think it runs the gamut. I played EQ with a fair number of people who were barely employed or living with their parents because they were playing video games all the time, some that were stuck in the house because of some disability, and some that were on the downward spiral with drugs and...

I'm not one of the millionaires but I logged off of EQ for the last time in 2008 and haven't played a "serious" video game since. Aside from the odd time waster puzzle game on my phone I haven't been a gamer for nearly 17 years now.

Yeah, that's true. I sometimes make the mistake also in thinking that what is being posted by half a dozen people is what everyone on the board is thinking. It also stands to reason that a thread on retirement would attract people who are putting a lot of thought into that topic and lots of...

I really hate to agree with Kirun. I mean really. But this is a pretty astute observation.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said it best...

That's fine. For the vast majority of people it's a terrible way to invest your money and whether or not Burren is doing it, other people are aggressively marketing it to people who barely have anything to invest and they are getting sold on "infinite banking" horseshit that is being advertised...

Selling shitty products isn't illegal.

If he only sells to people with over $28M in the bank then perhaps he's not a bullshit peddler. Is that the case?

Later in life when you want to invest your money at a worse rate than a high yield savings account for some reason.

I don't know but I doubt it's something we need to worry about.

Whole life insurance and annuities are great ways to make money for insurance salesmen and companies that sell annuities.

They are.

I do the paying bills for everything on a credit card and then the full balance autopays from my checking account every month. I have to say though, the "free money" is pretty underwhelming. I do it now for convenience but the "rewards" are pretty much insignificant. A few times a year I get...

I think he says 15% to the 401k but he's scorched earth about getting people out of debt and paying off credit cards. I think what people are calling "insane" here is the idea that you pay off your mortgage before you start investing even if it's a low interest rate and never use credit cards...

I hope you remember to do a shoulder roll before firing at the weeds.

He's built his system for a mass audience and he's considering psychology as well as math. Sure if you are able to handle money in a rational way you could min-max and theoretically beat his methods, but it's very good advice for anyone who's not super on top of their finances and that's the...

Land value varies hugely depending on where it is. The richest person in the world couldn't buy 40 acres in Manhattan but if you are out in a real rural area almost anyone could get that much land. 40 acres is only a lot if it happens to be in a high demand area. Around here 40 acres with no...

I've I've been listening to Dave Ramsey clips on YouTube lately and some of the calls are what you expect. "I'm a single mom that doesn't have a marketable enough skill to justify the expense of day care and I have been using credit cards to fill in the gaps." but it's surprising how many...

TV isn't big enough.

You have to realize though, that you can always make the number keep going up . The question is where your life is actually better in a meaningful way. Obviously there's people with tens or hundreds of billions in net worth that are still killing themselves and buying politicians to let them...

Priest Holmes single-handedly destroyed my fantasy football league one year.

Yeah, it's not like anyone is planning to retire to working 80 hours a week digging ditches but all internet arguments have to continue until they're totally retarded.

I'm pretty sure the people who made scientific breakthroughs and wrote classic novels were working hard at them. Not just sitting around waiting for inspiration or playing golf twice a day.

That sounds enjoyable to you? Just killing time? I can't relate.

Aldarion has really cranked the blowhard schtick up to 11 the last few weeks. He's the reason I requested the "old man yells at cloud" reaction.

When I was a kid we did kind of a rotation for gifts so everybody didn't have to buy a gift for all of the grandkids. There were 3 brothers in the family so I got a gift from one aunt one year and the other the next. You were supposed to spend about $20 per gift. My mom would actually spend...

I've seen my grandfather and a neighbor make the mistake of thinking that retirement means just relaxing and having fun for 20 or 30 years and it went badly for them. Just because you like going fishing for a week once a year doesn't mean you will be happy doing it every day of your life for...

Her character is not core to the show at least. You can just say "it's a lot quieter in the house since Lou Anne got married and moved to Amarillo" in the first episode and leave it at that. Without Dale it's not the same show.

Move out of your shit hole country. I was in California for a while until I wanted to live in a house but since they aren't affordable and don't have basements in California I left.

Well they should.

The furnace is in the attic? That's what basements are for.

Seeing this and remembering Aiyuk and Williams last season makes me like Brock Purdy even more. He could be sitting out and demanding Dak Prescott + 1 million and the prospects for this season would be way lower.
