It would be good where I live in the Midwest. I make more than that now but even back when I was making just that I was living very comfortably.

We have a number of guys in their late 20s that in the last year or two started working where I work and they make around that. They were all able to buy houses, have decent vehicles, and a few of them have kids they support too.

So really just like every time this topic comes up I say this will heavily depend on geographic location.

This has to be a rage bait post. No one can be this spineless and handle their childrens piss bottles for him like hes The Rock.

It goes good with ham. Also there is a big difference getting it fresh at an eatery vs getting it delivered where the fruit becomes luke warm from the heat of the pizza.

I honestly expected this classic

A good chunk of my tv watching is stuff prior to 1968. Especially the stuff I grew up on as a kid. I was born in 76 and a ton of the stuff on in the 80s was reruns from the 60s and even 50s. A ton of my favorites westerns both shows and movies are older.

Im on my weekend with Mondays and Tuesdays off and this weekend I already decided Im going to rewatch The Good, the Bad and the Ugly again. Ive seen it many many times but I pretty much rewatch one of my favorite old westerns every weekend and this weekend thatll be the one. So 1966 it is. Last week it was Shane with Alan Ladd (1953)

If it wasnt for gamefaqs I honestly wouldnt even know who he was. Anytime someone here talks about a YouTuber or streamer I never know who they are 99% of the time. Its just not something I follow.

Do you do much book reading? Not like manga but novels? If yes, what do you tend to like?

I don't wear any clothes to bed, certainly not fucking socks. The minute I get home from work I take socks off and don't wear them at home at all, even in the winter. I never wear socks in the house, let alone in bed. That is for old ladies.

Until the next one, then that one will be, until the next one and so on.

This is going to be a great SCF. I'm really looking forward to it. Even as an American it is great having a Canadian team in the final. Always love hearing that Anthem. Love watching McDavid and Draisaitl and the rest play. Florida is outstanding on defense. This should be a great matchup.

Most of my talking is only done at work. With 10 million I'll be retiring and not working. I'll spend 99% of my time at home and the only errand I really run is the grocery store. While I do speak at the grocery store at the deli counter and to my local butcher when I get meat I could work around being non verbal with just a written list handed to them. For 10 million it would be a small adjustment. Super easy choice.

The type 2 diabetes cure is lose weight and it was invented in ancient rome

While this is true in many many cases it isn't always about being overweight. I worked with a guy who was like 5'10" and like 130 pounds, skinny as a pole. Damn near a skeleton and he had type 2 diabetes and had to watch what he ate and take medication.

I have known a couple people like that. But yeah 95% of the time in my personal experience people have just had to lose weight and keep that under control. It runs in my family and weight loss has been the key for each person, including myself.

Well in the old days they would check fluids, tire pressure, wash your windshield yada yada. It was truly a different kind of service.

In modern times places that still do it like I believe all stations in Oregon are full service I think its just for tradition and for job creation.

Oilers off to a great start after 1 period. Hope they keep it up. Time to put the hammer down and end this series in this 2nd period.

What's a bin store?

Overstocked and returned merchandise from retailers that typically lower income people are absolutely drawn to.

My head hurts and i have a sore throat, should i reschedule

Maybe i should

It's in your head. Keep your appointment and don't be so weak.

I think they are extremely versatile and can be used in many different ways. They are also incredibly plentiful and cheap which makes them popular. They are definitely top tier. But there are a lot of veggies I really like, especially green veggies.

I think it's called Under pressure

That would be "Got Me Under Pressure"

Iced tea is pretty much my favorite drink in the world but I never drink sweet tea. So I can't say I have ever experienced this because I have never used an artificial sweetener like that. I don't want to ruin my iced tea.

I don't notice the occasional diet soda I have being extra sweet though and I'm sensitive to sweet things since I have been off sugar for so long. Even eating a carrot taste like dessert to me because I can taste the sweetness so much.

Move. Chirp. wait 90 seconds. repeat four to six times.

Thats pretty fucking annoying if its not the master bedroom and all the areas are right next to each other.

And one of the rooms is literally an echo chamber.

Fuck this. No batteries for anyone.

Such an annoying boring "slow process" A whole 360 to 540 seconds? Gasp. How will you ever get back that less than 10 minutes of time? Much better to go make a topic on the Internet about it and devote your time there.

I listen to a very wide variety of music beyond rock but it is one of the factors of why I pretty much stopped listening to new music past 2000. I stay willingly stuck in the past. I primarily listen to the 50's through the 90's.

I was born in 76 so I really loved the couple decades before me, and certainly loved the 80's for a wide variety of stuff and into the early 90's when I was in high school. I pretty much "noped" out of music at 2000.

But I have to say even though it might not be on the charts there is still a lot of modern music doing quite well. I have friends who love Greta Van Fleet which is basically a modern rip off Led Zeppelin. They hate that comparison but its undeniably there. They are relatively new I think just being signed to a label 7 or 8 years ago. There are many others as well.

Again not necessarily on the charts but sometimes as I'm flipping though my Satellite Radio I hear them on frequently. I'm sure someone who followed modern music could pull up a lot of examples.

It's really not that hard to simply use your ears and be able to tell which one it is by moving around a bit and just listening.

It's cliche but probably La Grange. I just love the music. Also my beard totally puts theirs to shame.

So change the battery, or do what I did when I lived in an apartment like 25 years ago. Ignore it long enough so that you don't even notice it and when people come over and mention it you say 'What chirp?"

I love their music. Have since I was a kid for like 45 years. I mean hell I remember when Flash Gordon came out and was brand new. Big songs releasing like Under Pressure with David Bowie, Radio Ga Ga, and I Want to Break Free. Who as a kid could ever forget that video for I Want to Break Free? lol. Granted a chunk of their well known stuff is from a time right before I was born or right after my birth but before my memories really kicked in.

But I certainly remember a number of songs coming out and being brand new at the time. Their hits were primarily done even though they still had multiple albums there at towards the end. Still a band I love to this day.

I haven't watched Season 2 but I enjoyed Season 1 for the most part. He really put on a lot of mass from the time of like being in the movie The Ringer in 2015. He was shredded but he didn't have near the mass he has now. Reacher was 2022 so I know it is 7 years and he has worked out his whole life but it was quite a difference.

I only use The Ringer as a reference point because that was the last thing I saw him in that I distinctly remember.

I certainly love the band. On one hand I love a ton of stuff from before I was born. I was born in 76 and I like 50's Doo-Wop and the start of rock. I absolutely love the 60's and there is tons of stuff from the 70's I enjoy.

I also very much loved the 80's of my youth but there is something different about your formative teenage years in high school from 14 to 18 that just hits a little different. Especially when it isn't an established band putting out another record. For example Metallica was my favorite band of the 80's. I absolutely loved, I mean LOVED their first 4 albums and I could write a long ass post breaking down my favorite album and why but I won't do that.

The point is when I was in high school from 1990-1994 that is when their "Black album" came out. it was their 5th studio album (not counting EP's like Garage Days" and that is something completely different than a band that just explodes in popularity before your very eyes.

Sure Nirvana had Bleach in 89 but I wasn't aware of them. There is no doubt that most people know them from 1991 when Smells Like Teen Spirit and Nevermind absolutely turned them into arguably the biggest band on the planet. To see that happen before my very eyes was just different than an already established band putting out another album I liked. This was monumental.

Looking back it is pretty crazy looking at the timeline. It was Fall of 1991 when they got super popular and Kurt died April 5th 1994 in the Spring. It felt like such a big part of my life back then but looking back now it was such a brief moment. It was basically a 2.5 year window and it was over. It was extremely impactful on me, but it was so brief.

As for what they would have done? I really don't know and we will never know but I honestly think they were on the brink of major changes. Maybe a breakup? Not because of any personal conflict or the members themselves not getting along. I just think Kurt was extremely uncomfortable with fame and with how popular they got. He was frustrated with their record label. There was a lot of fighting about In Utero and the record label didn't like the album. But Kurt stood by it and they were so huge by then they could stand up to the label.

If they stayed together I think once their record label obligation was done they would have went independent. I think we would have seen a shift in their sound. At their core they were really fans of a lot of punk stuff. Specifically Cobain was really into it and it was a huge influence on him. Dave Grohl was taken to his first show as a teenager by his sister and he was really into punk for awhile.

I think we would have seen more stuff like some of the covers off their Incesticide album which seriously is a shame more people don't listen to that album because it is fantastic. Even some mainstream Nirvana fans don't know it as it isn't listed as a main studio album but as a compilation album.

It only sold like 1.4 million copies in the US which is quite a bit lower than Nevermind or In Utero. It is so good. Not just the covers but some of the actual Nirvana songs. Dive is one of my favorite songs they do. Sliver is definitely a different sound for them but really really good and I love the song Aneurysm on that album.

So ultimately I have no idea truly what we would have seen other than i know if they were still together whatever they put out probably would have been something I liked. Would I have drifted away from them like I have other bands I loved back then? It's certainly possible. It would depend on how long they were together and how many albums they put out. Maybe me only having them for such a short window is why I love them so intently?

I don't know. I just know they are one of my favorite bands and I still regularly listen to all of their music.

They are obviously making a joke. "Mandela Effect" Mandela died only around a decade ago. Their account is older than that.

Take your pick.

This just reinforces what I already know. People who are religious are easily manipulated.

I enjoy all 3. I'm actually going to be eating meatloaf tonight here at work. My last piece of it I made earlier in the week and have been eating all week at work.

But there is nothing better than Chicken Fried Steak. It is absolutely the nectar of the gods and honestly I'm not even much of a steak person. I'd rather have a good burger than a steak. but Chicken Fried Steak? Hell yes. It has been one of my favorite dishes for 40+ years now.

Also it HAS to be white peppered gravy on a Chicken Fried Steak. NOT those heathens that put brown gravy on a "Country" Fried Steak. Fuck that. Those people are so wrong.

It's funny to me you posted this because though I RARELY do this about 4 days ago I did it in my sleep and the inside of my lip swelled up a decent amount and in the past few days with it being bigger than normal I have bitten it like an additional 3 times.

The curfew would more or less be at the officers discretion

Louisiana is a stop-and-identify state, so that ordinance is not really to hurt anybody its just to stop these people walking that have no reason to be walking

I'm sure in no way will this lead to an abuse of power and certain demographics being targeted. Imagine living in a place where you need a reason to be outside and walking/riding a bike.

I hope the Oilers close it out tonight. I'm at work and will be watching the game but if it happens to go to game 7 then at least I'll be on my weekend Tuesday night (My normal days off are Mon/Tues) and at home in my home theatre watching game 7. Nothing greater than a game 7 in hockey.

But again I hope the Oilers end it tonight.

An absolute classic from my youth and the only version I will listen to this song. Not the English version.

So how did that turn out?

NES 1987.

My only disappointment was over the course of my very first weekend playing it I had already completed the game and found very little challenge in it. Still an iconic game and the music and sounds are forever burned into my head but back then most games artificially lengthened most games by being challenging as almost all NES games were super short.

That one didnt so over the years I played it very little.

Season 1 of GoT was the only one I thought was truly great. I was a book fan years before the show ever came to fruition. Season 1 you had a more focused story with less locations and characters. It had scenes that were literally word for word dialogue from pages straight out of the book.

As soon as you had to expand the story and all the characters its impossible for a tv show to be able to manage a book story like that. Characters start getting merged, changed, or dropped completely. Entire story arcs manipulated or bastardized badly. It becomes a mess quickly.

Everyone wants to complain about season 8 but that show was completely off the rails in like season 4. The reality is if youre a book reader you just have to completely disassociate what you know and take it purely for the mindless entertainment it is as a show.

Ultimately I enjoyed it for what it was. I enjoyed seeing my two favorite characters in Tyrion and The Hound brought to life before me. It definitely entertained me at times. Some characters were done quite poorly I thought but again ultimately I enjoyed it.

High Five on The Wire though. Loved that show though admittedly have never rewatched it. Only watched when it was on.

I never play multi-platform games on the Switch but the Arkham games are excellent games. All 3 games are top tier. Got platinum trophy on PlayStation on all 3.

Good job. Independence is great. I had a great relationship with my dad but I absolutely yearned to be on my own when I was younger even though my dad was at work all the time and slept when he wasn't so I had the whole house to myself pretty much my entire time growing up. Still I wanted that independence and made sure to make it happen as soon as possible.

Enjoy it.

A lease? On your "own" home?

Pretty clearly he is renting when he says lease. It is still his own place.

Panthers going back to the finals. I really hope Edmonton makes it because I want to watch that matchup and I'll be content with either team winning. I'll probably root for the Oilers for the hell of it because I like watching them.

Fuck Dallas.

I just want to say the greatest crossover is crossover thrash (bands that started as hardcore punk and crossed over to thrash metal) and the king of crossover thrash is the band Suicidal Tendencies. They have so many good albums.

Also have to mention another band that is great crossover thrash band is D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) Those two are the best examples of crossover thrash.

Nothing weird here. Just two bands I really like to talk about.

I haven't been to a hotel in like 25 years and it never happened back then but I remember reading about this recently and it seems to be quite common to charge for parking. Which is weird as fuck to me but not surprising.

I remember being so excited when I heard Sony Bend was working on a project and I totally was hoping for a revival of Syphon Filter.

I loved the idea of the Pacific Northwest setting but then when I was shown what the game was going to be I just lost all interest. I straight out detest "zombie" games. You can call them whatever creatures you want. It was a zombie game. I give zero fucks about them.

Multiple places but it was back in the 90's when I was in the Navy. Was in Palma de Mallorca (beautiful) a number of places on the mainland before heading through the Straight of Gibraltar to Lisbon Portugal and going to the Azores before heading back home port.

It was Summer and I remember it being very humid and feeling much warmer than all the places I had just come from in the Mediterranean.

Have fun.

Get pizza and eat another whole pie for dessert, then get ice cream. All the topics about them show you clearly want them. Then tomorrow go get the fajitas at the Mexican place you were talking about. You have been obsessing about Mexican food a lot too. Give in.

Well in the topic title you said Peach/Apple Cobbler but in the actual poll you only listed peach. While I love peaches as a standalone fruit I dislike them as a pie/cobbler/crisp or any heathens that try to flavor drinks with it like peach tea.

Apple i would totally be down for but a peach dessert? No. I would have to default to the banana pudding. Preferably with vanilla wafers.
