    So glad to live in Florida. Although it's going to drop into the upper 20's, so that sucks.

    Try taking some Tums. Or even better, something like a Prilosec. I had issues with them doing much until I did. Now they work great every time though.

    Yeah, edibles absolutely work here in Florida. Although the potency can sometimes vary quite a bit. Some will get me a mild buzz, and some blast me into outer space.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    It's a valid question for an MMO that relies on grouping though. If you're planning on waiting to buy it, it'd be nice to know if there's a population playing to actually make it worthwhile.

    Home buying thread

    In the early retirement community, that scenario comes up very often. The bulk of people find paying off the mortgage to be worthwhile for peace of mind, even though it's not the ultimate min-max option.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I like how so many posts have said the lack of light is a major feature of the game, and then every single one says "yeah, I'm picking a race that negates that." Almost like they don't actually want that shit.

    Fallout

    This episode actually had really good pacing, which seems unusual for this type of show (the big budget prime time type dramas, versus serials). It seems like so many of these shows just have a limited amount of forward moving story, so they waste a ton of time on useless shit. This was mostly...

    Pretty much exposes their lie, doesn't it?

You either charge for it and take the negative press that comes with...

    So basically a collapse is limited to the Great Depression, and the 1880's depression? 2008 recovered within a couple years.

    Investing General Discussion

    Sure. Two dumb broads saying "a market collapse is guaranteed to happen this year" is retarded. You responded saying 2020 wasn't a collapse because overall the year was up 18%. What exactly do you call a "collapse" then?

    Looking at end of year is a mistake sometimes and misses the fact that bear markets can be short lived. Like last year was like a +17% year, but you forget we dumped by about 12% in February/March. Or December 2021 through October 2022 we were down almost 25%. Yes, we recovered from the covid...

    I mean, for the most part I've enjoyed the show. I even find (usually) the mother and daughter hilarious. This episode was just something else though. And it seems they've basically abandoned anything to do with oil/gas. We're 8 episodes in to a 10 episode season, and basically the only scene...

    It seemed odd that it just so happens to be a day where a bunch of people started back at work after a long break. Guessing the infant has something like mumps from not being vaccinated and they make a way bigger deal about it than a doctor normally would.

    So I'm enjoying the bong a lot more than edibles. Oddly, I had leaned into edibles because I was under the impression they'd give longer lasting effects, but I've noticed the high I get from a bong hit can last me a pretty solid 8 hours (and honestly, I'll feel pretty pain free the entire rest...

    That's an easy trap to fall into. You think "surely the market can't go up anymore" and then you're wrong for 2 years in a row and even though on year 3 it pulls back 20% in a bear, you're behind because you missed the massive run up to it. That's why time in the market beats timing the market...

    Pro tip, start leaving massive amounts of space between stuff. Way more than you think necessary. In the beginning it feels natural to clump your shit up to save on things like belts, but spacing things out will save you tons of hours trying to move everything.

    How in the fuck did that make three quarters of a billion dollars? I couldn't even finish the clip that was so embarrassing. I thought the MCU was bad, but I guess I didn't realize how bad. Holy shit. And that's apparently one of the better ones?

    Ah, didn't realize it was just an update for 2.0 and not Space Age. Good to know. It's a bitch to figure out what's happening with the mod, even combing through the Discord. Guess I'll put it off as well.

    Funny, I almost tagged @Tuco the other day to see if you'd started a Space Age/Space Exploration game yet, since it appears to have been updated finally. I haven't decided if I want to yet. And if I do, if I want to add K2, or some other mod on top of it, for extra craziness. My one SE...

    If this show doesn't end with Demi Moore's character bankrupting the company and then having to sell all her personal assets to cover the losses to the cartel, I'm going to be disappointed. I thought the gas station was a missed opportunity for a Bucc-ee's cameo, but I guess there isn't one to...

    Yeah, so reading the comments about this latest episode, I'm going to reiterate my above post. The problem with this show is they're relying on fans of the IP with easter eggs (see, it's those things you remember!). This does absolutely nothing for someone who doesn't remember or know this shit...

    Did my spreadsheet update for the year, and our portfolio went up more this year than our best earning year of actually working. And that's gross, not net. Considering our first year of retirement we saw a 21% drop (YoY, peak to valley was even worse), I'd say things are going amazing. 4 years...

    I still haven't watched Squid Games season 2 when I heard they split it up. And then it turns out it sucked. But the reality was season 1 was pretty well self contained and it didn't need a second one.

    Pluribus

    I think your points really echo the stuff @Fucker said earlier. If this season we're stretched out to a 20 episode season, sure, throw in long dramatic scenes where nothing really happens. The problem is we got 9 episodes and those super long scenes that didn't move the plot forward make the...

    What are you playing?

    That's where my comment about feint attacks probably comes from. Sure, I could memorize every boss and dodge roll at the exact time. I'm having trouble connecting Elden Ring game of the decade/ever doing it, and people throwing Claire Obscur out the window because you had to do a parry QTE.

    What are you playing?

    So I bought it and...it feels terrible? Everything feels super clunky and slow. I'm not particularly far into it, but the combat feels like molasses. The dodge roll seems worthless, so I guess I'm just supposed to strafe run most attacks. It's odd I see so many people complain about Claire...

    If you're investing with Vanguard, there's basically no difference. The downside to an ETF would generally be you need to buy whole shares, but Vanguard allows fractional ETF shares. It's basically whether you care to be able to trade during the day or if you don't care if it's after close.

    In power armor, yeah. In regular hand to hand combat he got the shit kicked out of him. He was basically the most pathetic person there. And based on what's happened in the show, I can't imagine more than even a month has passed total.
