My wife and I are living it up as DINKs right now, we want kids but not anytime soon and we're both only 30 so we're in no rush. Half the people we know are sorta miserable with kids and we travel a lot and do what we want, when we want to and definitely couldn't do that with kids.

Womp womp.

Don't care.

They're currently liquidating everything, their parent company was Chicken Soup For The Soul and they went out of business on July 10th.

LOL spoke too soon, now multiple vendors are having outages and we're experiencing some Microsoft 365 issues as well, gonna be a fun day!

Everything seems to be up and running on my end of things, though our WatchGuard vendor is having some issues so it looks like they're impacted.

Can't wait for the inevitable of Trump dropping him, then talking shit about him the rest of the campaign trail lol, they eat their own.

Ah yes, lets cause a global outage then as compensation....

*Checks notes*

Offer a $10 gift card, sounds about right!

Federally legalize and appropriately tax MJ, has the potential to be great source of tax revenue

Get a couple of the ZIVO traps at walmart, etc. They work GREAT. We have a gnat infestation almost every summer and each trap probably collects like 30-50 of them and they're pretty cheap.

A little late to the party, but just caught up on this thread.

TC don't respond to her last text!

She's either lying or it's true, both cases you don't want to be involved in that.

Move on, she's definitely not it and there's no reason getting strung up over her.

If she's got an updated Tinder bio and pics she's definitely back in the market but you're not what she's looking for and to be honest, and don't take this the wrong way, but she doesn't owe you an explanation either on why you're not it.

Yeah someone is definitely getting fired over this and potentially black-balled from the industry as a whole. Bad day to be that guy or team!

Pretty much most of our vendors are down today and my accountants cant use any of their tax applications, very fun for a Friday! Most of them will probably just be watching Netflix most of the day. Very happy none of our systems were affected but still a major pain in the ass all around.

TC I'm gonna be honest with ya, I always get the warranty through best buy but everytime I've had to use it, they come out, wind up actually breaking my tv further like either cracking the screen or just frying the thing and I wind up having to go back down to the best buy and get a brand new tv. I mean its not the worst thing, but TV repair is super iffy especially with the panels being as thin as they are nowadays

I have a pair of BeyerDynamics for audio engineering and they're pretty great.

I second the BeyerDynamics, I'm running mine off a Atom Dac/Amp stack and they're fantastic.

Lol, actually thinking $250 for flipping headphones is in any way a good deal.

Sennheisier and BeyerDynamics are two of the highest quality headphones on the market, if you're an audiophile you can appreciate them

CEMen still committing account suicides this week for this?

Saw it today, IMO the trailers hyped it up way too much but the cinematography was top notch. My wife doesn't like horror movies at all but she really was into this movie, I guess its more in line of a psychological thriller than typical horror movie, overall not a bad flick though would recommend it.

My bill only went down because I'm buying less, no longer getting snacks or things that aren't necessities. Also meal prepping now so I'm only getting the proteins and ingredients I need, otherwise I've noticed the prices of things has skyrocketed.

A bag of Doritos was damn near $6....

Me and the wife are seeing it tomorrow, haven't seen a movie in theaters since 2019 and super hyped for this.

Chick Fil A any day of the week

Popeyes customer service is just terrible, its almost a problem me being there and being a customer.

late for work today, got stuck in the Lincoln tunnel but Ill watch it later

Now that's comedy...Ba Dum Tss!

Separate accounts but we opened a joint account for vacations, etc.

Mina Lima put out a run of the books that has interactive pop-up pages and they're super fun/cool. Only goes up to Book 3 at the moment though, will probably be another 10-15 years before they finish the whole series.

Since William Schnider got his first iPhone in sixth grade, it's become an extension of his very being.

I remember me and my dad got the very first iPhone when it came out, I was probably in either 6th or 7th grade and it was still basically just a phone then didn't really do much more than what everything else did at the time just looked super cool. I don't even remember if it had YouTube, but even if it did YouTube wasn't what it is now. I can't imagine being a kid in high school nowadays with access to basically EVERYTHING in your pocket. My attention span would be worse than it is now lol.

Ummm "Not able to practice medicine during that time" they mean "ever again" right? That type of action should result in a life-long ban of practicing medicine lest he tried to end someone else's life.

Firefox is my main browser on PC and MAC, its my secondary browser for work since they really push everyone to use Chrome so I just use Chrome for work and work only. I also use Edge on my PC, its gotten a LOT better since the days of Internet Explorer and early Edge.

If pet ownership satisfies their paternal/maternal needs, then what's the issue?

This.

Some people are better off just having pets than having kids, and there's nothing wrong with that. If its not affecting your life, why should it bother you?

Do it, you can use it as leverage and also something to fall back on.

Has Joel Osteen locked up the church yet?

I really hope they focus more on the SP aspect, with 5 I felt like they knew GTA Online was going to be a cash cow, which it was and they focused on it more than the actual SP. I'm really surprised GTA V got zero SP DLC's when Lost and the Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony were some of the best DLC's that came out of that era on PS3 and 360.

Earth 2, we didn't get the memo at the end and it turns out exactly like the first one.

I love how he used the copout of "Oh I was high" never once on wacky tobaccy have I wanted to destroy/murder anything.

Everyime I play that game, I bring myself to always wiping them out lol. They're just so killable

Well he's shopping at Trader Joe's there's his problem. TJ's is just for overpriced snacks, I would NEVER buy my actual groceries there. Tried it one time and it was like $200+ never again.

I was unaware so many Japanese people were middle aged white men?

Tropic Thunder

I had a 17 VW Passat which was a great car, but the wife wanted me to get something bigger as we want to start a family sometime, so I traded it in for a 18 BMW X3

Always, its the best part.

Their breakfast used to be decent, haven't had it in years but their actual lunch/dinner food has always been overpriced hospital fare.

RDR2, there hasn't been a better looking or more alive open world game since then.

You can look into a used Sony A6100, around $400-$600 now I think, I would look into either a Tamrom or Sigma APS-C lens to pair it with

$199.99 is a bit pricey, but its Disney so I don't expect anything less lol.

I remember back in the day, collectors editions with statues were usually around like $120-$150 if I remember correctly, $200 just seems so expensive.

Look for a remote position?

I'm remote currently, even some of the remote positions I see are underpaid by $10-$20k for the job description/title, I may wind up just trying my hand at landing a second remote job as my wife and I are trying to aggressively save for a home

I'm in the IT field and it seems like a lot of companies are paying sub-par for the type of work they're looking for, I'm looking at other App Specialist/System Admin/Engineer roles and a lot of companies are trying to pay help desk-esque salaries for specialized roles especially in my region.

pump every bit of extra money into BTC and NVDA and HOLD LIKE YOU HAVE DIAMOND HANDS!

My doctor explained to me this year that liquid protein doesn't work the way we want it to/think it does, our bodies can only process so much liquid protein per hour, so if your drinking 100g of liquid protein between 8-12pm your not getting the full 100g, you'll be squirting out most of that. Best bet is to get your protein through solid means, not liquid. This was from a GI Specialist.

I found out about Fairlife lactose free milk this year and started drinking milk again for the first time in YEARS
