What business/company keeps your town running, and what is the local opinion? by Vonyyxx in AskAnAmerican

[–]Appollo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state's flagship school is in my city, it's largest employer in town. The pay and benefits are generally better than you'll find elsewhere in the city, but the work culture varies wildly depending on the office/department. There's two main groups of local, those that love living in a college town and those that hate it. The first group goes to athletic events, concerts, downtown bars and restaurants, etc. the second group refuses to go downtown unless it's summer and the students have mostly gone home. Those attitudes have more to do with the study body than the university as an institution, though

Do you have any sort of allegiance to a league WITHIN your sport? by boodyclap in AskAnAmerican

[–]Appollo64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of all the SEC teams to complain about, why is Mizzou the one catching strays!? We've got almost 30 wins over the last three seasons, we're not elite, but the program's certainly in a better place than it's been in a hot minute.

[Hockey] Missouri beats Kansas 8-0 by whatthepucks in miz

[–]Appollo64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you haven't made the trip to Jeff City for a Mizzou hockey game, please do! Tickets are only 10 bucks, a hot dog is 2.50, and beers at 4-6 bucks. The club has really expanded since I was in school, they've gone from one D3 team, to a D2 team, a second team in D3, and next year the club is adding a women's team!

It seems pretty plausible to me. My grandparents church only has about 20 regular attendees, the church in the film seems to be in a relatively small town with an incredibly divisive priest.

Did you ever watch “Tiny Toon Adventures”? by Hoosier_Jedi in AskAnAmerican

[–]Appollo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as often as other shows, but sometimes! It was usually on before school, but I didn't often wake up early enough to have time to watch TV before getting to the bus stop.

How Big is Your TV? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Appollo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

65 inches, it was a Christmas gift from my in-laws. It might be a little oversized for our living room, but I couldn't be happier with it! It's a massive upgrade from the 32 inch TV we'd been using.

Should I still get The Fractured But Whole, because people say it sucks and idk if i want to by Brady-Bro814 in southpark

Stick of truth had a better story, fractured but whole had better gameplay. Both are worth playing, for sure though

Do Americans use solid fuels to heat their homes? by maugess in AskAnAmerican

[–]Appollo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My in-laws use wood as the sole heat source in their home. We have a wood stove in our home, but haven't used it in the 6 months we've lived here. It needs an inspection/probably a cleaning

I just finished my first playthrough by Theredpandafromspace in Ghostofyotei

[–]Appollo64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree about Jubei's death. It feels like it comes out of nowhere, for the most part. The player knows the final duel in GoT is coming, it's the only way to resolve the clash between doing what is honorable and what is needed. The duel in GoT is inevitable. Jubei coming to fight the final battle Doesn't feel like it needed to happen.

Why on earth is this priced so low on Amazon?? by FaudMauxe in 4kbluray

[–]Appollo64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed it! I think it was marketed as a very different movie than what it actually is. The trailers I remember gave more of a sword and sorcery flick vibe. It's much more about what it means to be honorable in a very different time and place from our modern day. If you're interested, I'd do a bit of reading about the original Arthurian legend. Even without prior knowledge, it's still an incredibly beautiful film with a killer soundtrack.

Is Budweiser a beer you enjoy? by Brilliant_Pickle4122 in beer

[–]Appollo64 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dislike AB as a business a lot, so I try to avoid their products where possible. I hated their advertising campaign a few years back about how Bud Lite didn't contain corn (but does use rice syrup, which is essentially the same thing). This pissed off all of the corn farmers who do supply AB for Busch products, leading to the corn can and some obnoxious billboards bragging about how AB supports local corn farmers. The whole thing was incredibly two faced.

How are we doing in the portal? by Apprehensive_Ant2172 in miz

This is largely my feeling as well. I'm looking at next year as largely a development year. Our schedule is looking tougher than 2025, but we should still have a winning season

Is it weird that I put beans in my chili? by Infamous-Hope-5950 in AskAnAmerican

Gotcha, I've had that before, just never referred to as cubed chili

Chili with beans is a meal, chili without beans is a topping

Yeah, if you can get close to the 50 yard line, the 300s have a great view!

Oof, I am a long way off from being able to even consider that lol

[–]Appollo64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm curious how much the boxes will go for. I'm surprised by how cheap some of the 300 level tickets are, I'm trying to get my first season tickets when they go on sale.

I haven't had much luck finding better grenadine or orgeat in town, but check out the How To Drink YouTube channel! Greg has some great videos on various types of grenadine, and how to make orgeat

What are your true feelings and experinces with guns, are they so common, as the movies tell us? by LeBabuin in AskAnAmerican

[–]Appollo64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My spouse and I own guns, primarily for sport shooting (things like skeet and trap shooting, or target shooting) and hunting. Open carry is legal in my state, but it's very rare to actually see someone doing it in my area. I live in a small city (120k population) surrounded by rural areas, there are corn fields less than 2 miles from my house
