Adding ice is over-rated. It dilutes the drink and takes up space in the cup that could otherwise be the actual beverage. With enough ice you barely get any drink.

What kind of drink? Ice is water. Better to have more water than sugar.

You marked the Magneto thread didn't you Vegy?

While he's grossly out of touch, lots of Americans did get a lot more money than just the stimmies. There was the pause of student loans which put hundreds back in the wallets of some. Rise of the child tax credit up to 3,600 for 2021, meaning that most families got that amount for EACH child. The small business loans that were forgiven that MANY GROSSLY misused to buy luxury items. Think my neighbor used it to remodel his home.

Of course, that money's gone by now and with the start of student loan payments plus inflation, many people are worse than ever.

The people who hate stimmies really hate that families got extra stimmy based on how many kids.

In Nevada, we've got lizards that eat the bugs, including big spiders, and they're much less creepy.

Go lizards. You the real ones.

You have them in your house? They will leave little poo pellets. I had one get in somehow and had to get him to come out of hiding. Tried to catch him in a plastic tupperware thing but he got through a tiny hole into my couch pillows. Luckily moving them around he jumped on my pants so I just walked outside and got him off.

I can feel why people are absolutely terrified of spiders now lol, dose fuckers are fucking FAST and creepy

They will protect you from other bugs. Actually if you see the big spider it probably means you got other bugs or it wouldn't be there.

Guys, the excess money refers to people spending less on consumer stuff during Covid, not the stimmies

But didn't everyone buy up toilet paper?

Maybe the best way to explain is imagine asking an old man about a war that took place back in the day.
Will he care about the month distinction? Or will he say it was 30 years ago when technically and pedantically it was 29 and 4 months ago?

Why would we be rounding? You generally don't sound unless you have to for a specific reason.

That is how humans do it.
See this article

Entering the Fifth Year of the Coronavirus, Where Does Long COVID Stand?
Much has changed since the World Health Organization first called COVID-19 a pandemic four years ago today. As the U.S. enters its fifth year with the coronavirus, vaccines are available and have been updated to more closely match the spreading variants.

or for instance FF7 anniversary of 25 years was in 2022

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VII_25th_Anniversary

But 2022 was pedantically NOT the 25th but the 24th

It came out in October 2, 1997 internationally and September 1997 in Japan

But if you rounded, then yes 2022 was the 25th year

Why round? Because it is easier to count the years: 0 1 2 3 4 5
That is 5 numbers

Than to count the exact days and divide by 365 where we find we are months beyond 4 years making it 5 years since because we went over.

pazzy posted...

Which would mean that it's not 5 years. And we are not halfway through 2024. We are almost halfway.

There's nothing pedantic about respecting the actual time clock.

4.5 would be rounded by the rules of math, unless you were trying to be exact

If you are being pedantic perhaps, but we are halfway through 2024

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has been widely criticised for suggesting that average Americans are doing well financially despite rising inflation and stagnant interest rates putting a strain on household budgets.

Dimon sparked outrage with comments on The Wall Street Journal podcast, "The Journal." Dimon, whose net worth is estimated at 1.67 billion ($2.1 billion) by Forbes, stated that consumers "still have excess money from COVID."

Downplaying concerns about the economic impact on everyday Americans, Dimon told interviewer Emma Tucker, "The consumer's in pretty good shape right now." However, last month, Dimon himself predicted inflation would stay high, potentially harming the US economy in the near term.

"The consumer has, you know, unemployment under 4 percent has been there for two years. They still have excess money from COVID," Dimon told the podcast. He further noted that the US spent a whopping 4.78 trillion ($6 trillion) during the unprecedented pandemic.

"Through various means and various programs, they're still spending it down," he noted. Dimon went on to claim that "housing prices are up, stock prices are up, and jobs are plentiful." Unsurprisingly, he has been catching flak for those comments.

Not to be that dude, but I feel like this is why we have climate change now lol

Might be. Like the idea of filling your walls with razor blades doesn't even make logical sense to me. What must these people have been thinking. Maybe they had no idea where the slot went and thought it went to the sewers? lol
What if when I poop it doesn't actually go anywhere but I don't know that and it is supposed to..

This was to dispose of the blades because they didn't have a better way. So they just dropped them into this slot that went nowhere but into the walls.
People today with older houses might find a stash of razor blades in the walls.

Lets take it back to the early 1900s. Typically, men would seek out the assistance of their local barber for help keeping that facial hair tight. (Today, its not unusual to see barbershops offer straight-edge razor shaves as a novelty, but of course, that was the norm back in the day.) But in 1903, Gillette forever changed the way people shave by introducing the at-home double-blade razor. It was, as they say, the best a man could get.

As medicine cabinets were installed directly into walls, manufacturers added a tiny slot in the back through which shavers could dispose of their used blades. The blades would slip through the slot and then cascade down into a gross little pile of disposed, used blades, and sit there for decades until it inevitably became someone elses problem.

I bet youre thinking what I was thinking: Why couldnt they just throw them in the trash? The issue involved the use of trash itself. These sharp, used blades technically were biohazards, and could not be tossed away with basic refuse. In the 30s and 40s, many households would burn trash and fertilize their garden with ashes, effectively blocking the possibility that the blades could easily be discarded.

Later on, razor blade production kicked into high gear, and by the 1960s, blade companies were able to produce longer-lasting, more effective at-home blades that could withstand multiple uses. Further, as fewer families were relying on their own gardens for produce, herbs, and plants, tossing the occasional dulled blade into the trash became no big deal.

By the mid-1970s, the inner-wall disposal of razor blades was all but eliminated as Gillette faced a new competitor: the French company Bic. Bic introduced a lightweight, totally-disposable razor option that resembled the razors many of us know today: thin blades, plastic handle.

it follows the final fantasy method the sequel is its own setting

it isn't the same world as the first?

Haven't played the sequel yet (is on backlog) but is the issue people have with it that (Legaia 1 spoilers) there is no Seru?
I mean that is a huge part of the game the pokemon catching aspect

I wish Lego would focus on their own sets like back then, but alas, money is in the franchises.

They are remaking old sets at a high premium actually.

What I love about Legend of Legaia is that was from the era where I bought games blindly just from browsing the games on the shelf and looking at box art.

That game came out in March of 99 and I got home from the military in May of 99. Three things I remember about that year when I first got home was picking up Legend of Legaia blindly and also Lunar Silver Star Story Complete blindly and later in the year getting Suikoden II. What a year!

I was (and still am) heavily into RPGs and loved stuff like this back then in an era where there just seemed to be gem after gem. This is the era when SquareSoft was releasing hit after hit after hit and other companies were stepping up and there was sooooooooo much good stuff in the PS1 era.

I watched the commercial and asked my mom to buy it for my birthday. I didn't even know it was an rpg. If I recall I think this is the first time I got into turn based RPGs. I had tried some out before but didn't like them.

sony owns the IP

WHAT!?!

Then why haven't made a new one.
I thought for years it was in IP purgatory.

That seems pretty stupid. Steam exists for a reason and that reason is to not have to do things like this.

Yea that would be cool but who even owns the IP now or who was the guy who would make the spiritual successor?

Elon is trash
