maybe you're able to regulate yourself better than i was, but the three years i spent as a total drunk were beyond miserable. i was drinking a 750mL bottle of 40% alcohol a day, sometimes more. i would wake up with the worst hangover you can imagine, then i'd spend about 30 minutes trying to hold down water only to puke it up a couple of minutes later. most of my work day was spent going through withdrawal and i would literally buy a bottle on the way home and start drinking in the car. alcohol was responsible for my misery, but was the only thing that gave me relief.

now i just smoke weed every day and i feel so much better

Alien doesn't necessarily mean intelligent or advanced. A notpig living on some other planet is an alien to us just as an Earth cockroach would be an alien to them.

fair. but given how we treat 'lesser' species, i bet a more advanced species would treat us the same as we treat pigs -- means to an end and nothing more.

I'm sure the experience is super sick but this video is awfu

a lot of fans were displeased with the camera work. we've seen Trey and the guys up close so many times but we've never seen Sphere before. there are some pretty sick shots of the screen, but you gotta scan through the video. 6:45 or so till the end (first one) is pretty decent.

I should check ticket prices.

they are falling. hard. tickets on CoT going for 1/2 face value been there for over a week. im sorta tempted to go back for D&C, but they've never done a lot for me musically, i freaking hate Vegas as a city, and it's gonna be hot as balls (i was there in April and it was too hot)

Netflix is pretty bad for movies. It seems like most of them are "originals", which I find to be generally lacking in quality. Prime has lots of good ones, I've just seen most all of them but I'm a movie nerd.

the best service for movies, hands down, is Criterion Channel

he weird thing about the Dewey Decimal System is that it is privately owned, meaning your library has to pay a license to use it, right?

i actually work for the org that 'owns' DDS. we charge a fee to access WebDewey, the online version. there are also print versions available as traditional books for a one-time purchase.

bigblu89 posted...
This was posed to me many years ago, and at the time I thought the 2nd option was the way to go. Put in 10 years, build a huge bankroll. You'd still be able to live off the $5k a month, but reinvest the $45k and retire with about $8-10 million in the bank after 10 years. Basically using option 2 to create option 1.

The older I get, the more I lean towards the $5k option.

Supposedly, it was originally posed as a personality test based on what you value.

If you choose option 1, you value time and freedom. The ability to live life on your own terms. You also probably value time spent with friends and family, and have a lot of hobbies.

If you choose option 2, you probably live by the motto: do the hard things now for an easy live later. You're not happy with the status quo, and you always want more for yourself.

leaning towards option 1 as you get older makes sense, our perspective on time is so much different in our 20s vs our 40s.

and yeah, that totally makes sense.

bigblu89 posted...
$60K, even after taxes doesn't go that far, depending on where you live and what your living situation is (married, kids, homeowner, etc.).

i have no kids and my house is paid off, so my monthly expenses are very low. $5k is like twice what i typically spend.

*scratches head*

You know you can retire as a millionaire in just a few years with option B, right?

five years of a miserable existence to have way more money than i could ever need, or retire right now with more money than i could ever need. golly gee, that's a hard choice.

i guess if you're someone who values a 'luxurious' lifestyle and want mansions, fancy cars, expensive clothing, etc. then go with option 1. but i'm good with my 1500 sq ft home, basic car, jeans and t-shirts and Red Roof Inn instead of penthouses.

$5k and freedom, easily. i live a simple life and only spend like $3k / month on regular stuff, so that would be an extra $2k each month to pursue fun stuff. hell yes.
