    Car ?'s

    Thanks for your feedback. I'm exploring the list of cars my wife wants. She's not towing anything or going off-road particularly. There are quite a few in the three row/midsize SUV range so its pretty tough narrowing them down unless you find a "deal" that sticks out. Do not want a "fullsize" ...

    Car ?'s

    Anyone have a VW Atlas, Acura MDX, or Lexus GX460 and can provide some feedback on why those chose it? I need to get one with captains chairs in the middle row.

    Yeah I mean that's the premise of her fund in general - invest in the future (tech) and not the past. She says indexes are basically investing in past performance and boomer stocks and not her super cool stocks of the future which she researches and knows more than everyone else...

    DIS seeing so many developers across the country making fucking bank and can't resist. Most of the shit sucks though for existing residents but doesn't mean they aren't profitable.

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    Go watch wandavision man, I thought I wasn't going to like it at all for multiple reasons. Had no expectations so I was like you in the early episode(s) but it's a really nice slow build and great payoff IMO. I'm the opposite on Hawkeye, thought it was too kiddie and they forced the chick too...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    He's the next Andrew Luck if the Bengals don't pay up, which historically they have not. Luckily Joey B is the real deal and most of the free agent linemen are probably looking to play with someone like him. At least get an indoor facility you cheap ass fuck of an owner

    As an investor that doesn't actively trade (regularly) I'd rather buy at price levels from a year ago or further back while they are temporarily depressed due to the current events. I deal with terrible stuff all the time in my profession so I don't have much emotion attached to death...

    Lost Ark Online

    I was speaking in a general sense of what a cash shop does to a game and "p2w" aspect. I don't look at reddit. There isn't that MUCH to understand. It can't be p2w because there is nothing to win, it's just a grind. so I guess yeah if you distill "p2w" down to a literal sense to apply only to...

    time to delete the board? LLR? what would everyone do? i mean isn't that the whole p2w argument though? people gaining faster to be able to acquire gear sooner and/or people being able to progress to higher gear quicker than others by buying stuff that enables that? therefore they are a...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    the target demographic for media isn't 50+ year olds, which it has never been. The oldest "millennials" have nothing in common with the youngest, ~41 compared to ~25. completely different worlds growing up as one end grew up entirely with social media and the other was part of the adaptation...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    admittedly I was surprised looking at the "mainstream" rating and stuff for WoT show. pretty well received but we all know it's actual garbage. But I guess like most things, you don't know what you don't know...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    “Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the...

    I've already written this off even though the stills look amazing, but I did a quick google and this guy is puerto rican. not a big difference... "The silvan elf Arondir, played by Ismael Cruz Córdova, is a character who’s been created for the series" Supposed to be the same race/type of elf...

    alright, watched it. had some potential for sure and good "ideas" but they basically cheesed up everything. i think that's robert rodriguez. @Xenrauk hit most of the points above. the strats were dumb, everyone grouping up in one pile to fight the pykes, mando should have been able to kill...

    Yes it doesn’t mean you can’t have fun it just means they add all sorts of bullshit from a developmental standpoint to encourage cash shop purchases. Multiple currencies and shit?please. and frankly that combined with the daily weekly monthly timer bullshit for everything has made mmos terrible...

    you are purposefully being dense. Chys's initial post outlined all the mechanics that this game is built around a cash shop, in addition to literally every other MMO that came from korea. don't worry though, someone's opinion doesn't mean you can't have fun with the game. not everyone needs to...

    What evens out? It doesn't even out. It's changing the seasonality adjustment drastically from the past 8+ periods for whatever reason, the most unlikely of which is to provide a more realistic representation of the market. It's simply changing the "rules of the game" for the data. Analysts...
