    I eat one Cadbury creme egg a year and think "Yeah, they're still not that good."

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    That would be quite a splash for Lynch/Shanahan as their first big move in SF.

    The Fast Food Thread

    My favorite easter move is to take a sweet tart chick/duck/bunny and a chocolate one and eat them at the same time. I don't think chocolate covered sweet tarts is a thing but it should be.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Damn, that's expensive. Is leather considered the toughest? Like I said, this is a ranch pickup, looks don't matter at all, but I need to do something because the seats are falling apart.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    It seems like most college QBs are not being trained to play in an NFL offense these days as the colleges are running super simple schemes that feature athletic quarterbacks and minimal reads. The NFL started to do the same but the defenses figured it out in about 2 seasons. I wonder if we...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but anybody have any recommendations for seat covers? The seats on the 2013 F-350 ranch pickup are completely trashed already. I don't care about looks, I'm only interested in what is the most durable. We beat the hell out of this thing all winter...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I just bought a 2011 F-150 with the ecoboost and it's pretty amazing. I haven't tried towing or anything, but the acceleration is pretty surprising for a pickup with a v-6. It certainly accelerates a hell of a lot better than our F-350 with the 6.2 in it, but obviously that thing weighs a lot...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Biscuits and gravy is a 5 star breakfast for sure. Most restaurants don't do it very well though, gotta make it yourself.

    I need a bag of these once a year: I like Jelly Belly the rest of the time though. The starburst ones are okay but they are all just in your face fruit flavor. I like all the different flavors of Jelly Belly.

    It was pretty obvious from the start of the thread that you weren't really taking this seriously. It's not too late, but based on your attitude, it was only a matter of time.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    I made it through the episode this week and I laughed after they discussed the issues and then cut to what Trump promised during the campaign. Republicans are so screwed on this.

    The Oscars Best Picture fuckup

    What do you have for a sound system? I had this problem for a while because I bought a small surround sound system and then later replaced the front speakers with larger ones and kept the little center channel. As a result, all of the music and sound effects were way louder than the dialog...

    The Oscars Best Picture fuckup

    It looked to me like Warren realized he had the wrong envelope, didn't know what to do, showed it to whatshername and she just saw the words "La La Land" on the paper and said it without really looking at it. Sadly I watched that and as soon as she read it I changed the channel since I didn't...

    How much income is enough?

    Yeah, I have no argument with anything you said here. Going on vacation is fine, it's just about where you prioritize it. I went fishing in Alaska this summer, although it was only for 4 days and I don't feel the least bit bad about it because I didn't sacrifice anything more important for it...

    Losing your Job

    Just go to the company website, find a picture of the upper management team, photoshop dicks in all of their mouths, and then enclose it with your resume as an example of your skills. This will guarantee you only get jobs in places where they have a sense of humor and/or hate their upper...

    Losing your Job

    I imagine Adebisi's managers being in a conference room and going "Well, we have to lay somebody off, who should it be?" and the boss says "Just have IT check the weblogs and lay off whoever has the highest message board post count." Also I made a squarespace website once for a local school and...

    Camping/Backpacking

    Unless you're a real weakling, don't get too hung up on weight. You don't want to carry 20 lbs of shit you don't need, but I think for a lot of those ultralight guys it's more of a religion than any practical reason. If you're cutting the handle off of your toothbrush to save weight you're...

    How much income is enough?

    You couldn't be more wrong. I spend every day doing what I like to do. Maybe that's the reason I don't think it's worth thousands of dollars to hike in mountains that are halfway around the world instead of the ones I can drive to in a couple hours.

    How much income is enough?

    About 20% is where I'm at too, although I was lucky enough to inherit 50% of a piece of land that is worth $5+ million and could be leased out for at least $120k a year I choose to bust my ass and live on $30k a year because this cowboy shit is just so much fun.

    How much income is enough?

    For the record, I'm not saying you can't go on vacation or ever go out to eat or whatever, you should just prioritize it behind your savings, because compound interest is so fucking effective on money you save in your 20s and 30s and so much less effective on money you save in your 50s and from...

    How much income is enough?

    Whatever you want. The good thing about it is that there will be about 20 times as much of it as you gave up in your 20s and at that point you may not have the option to work and get more.

    How much income is enough?

    It's tough to get more bang for your buck than IRA in your 20s, or better yet, your teens. You could even stop contributing in your 40s while your kids are in college and probably still come out ahead of someone who didn't contribute in their 20s and goes hard in their 40s-50s. Also, the...

    How much income is enough?

    Come on now. That corvette he bought and then totalled at age 24 was way better than financial security in the golden years. My cousin's husband works in the oil fields and he told me about a kid that worked 2 jobs there right out of highschool, close to 80 hours a week with no days off for a...

    Maxing the employer match should be the minimum level you should consider. Maxing the federal limit is a goal to shoot for.

    Yes, which gave me hope, but then he said "Our main story tonight is about Michael Flynn" and I turned it off. He did the same thing during the election. Led off by talking about how he doesn't want to talk about the election, then spent the whole show talking about the election. Someone...

    5 guys is very tasty, but also overpriced. I tried out the new one in Billings over the weekend and found it to be quite satisfactory. When Noodle immediately agrees with anything you say about food, you have to take a hard look at yourself.
