    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    I haven't read these, but got the audio based on this thread I found the first book a difficult listen. I'm not English major, but this came off as childish. Not the RPG part, but how the story was told. They dialog was overly informative? Like the writer didn't know how to the the story. By...

    Deathstalker (2025)

    Beastmaster is (or was) on Amazon prime. Fantastic movie, I think my balls dropped when I was in the theater watching it. If you watch it on Amazon, their algorithm will suggest hundreds of 80s campy movies.

    despite their best efforts, intel still sells a ton of chips. amd and qualcomm are increasing market share sure. but any other company in the world that executed like intel wouldn't still be #1 in their space. i can see intel regaining control of the wheel and pushing them out, again. intel...

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    There's a list of super wealthy who have crazy roths. Even if the money goes in, taxed at ~50%, they can buy these limited access stocks. I think Mitt Romney has one worth millions.

    MMO players are all about min/maxing at their core. except those that play healers and get carried. I wouldn't be surprised if former MMO players are doing better than average

    Retirement... (i.e. what are you going to be after you've grown up)

    It's a spectrum. If you're making good money but still drowning in credit card debt, Dave Ramsey is right for you. If your only dept is maybe a mortgage and your savings rate is over 23%, Dave probably does sound crazy.

    Like others said, very much yes. The biggest thing is living on less than you make. There's a bunch of good YouTube channels that might motivate you; Dave Ramsey, Graham Stepan, The Money Guys. Will give you a rounded view on how to think about money.

    My grandmother died about 20 years before my grandfather. During those 20 years, he volunteered almost daily at the Hospice that my grandmother went through. My dad is 75 and still bills about 30 hours a week as a CPA, more in March and April. He plans to see off more of his accounts and...

    I love fucking with spammers too, but I don't do it for very long. I read, again on the Internet so must be true, that a guy fucked with a spammer one day. Most spammers are spoofing the number they initially contact you with. So the spammer used that guys number the rest of the day. That...

    there's a water dispenser as well. if i don't open the freezer side while it's refilling whatever ice trays are inside, i don't see or hear the water. it's not spraying, far as I can tell. there's just a trickle down the back and it pools at the very bottom. my guess is it takes 2 or 3...

    My fridge leaks water, sometimes. It has a through the door ice maker. Even it's refilling whatever inside to make more ice, it must be filling too much. Water runs down the inside back and fills below the bottom shelf. After about a week or so, I need to remove that ice it is starts leaking...

    I've come to terms that everyone (almost) in Hollywood is a liberal. It is they aren't, they keep it quite or accept their career will be limited. I don't look to actors for advice on how to be healthy, run a business or a govt. So shit they say I basically ignore. But if they bring that...
