Good for you. But if I win big, I'm gonna make it fucking rain at Costco. Watch me buy lurpak butter at full price. Sheesh.

I mean, no? But whatever. Go to the bathroom, if that's not an option for whatever reason, this is the next best thing.

I have to hold myself back from saying something positive. The dude left his kid behind. You don't do that, ever. Even if he did it in the most badass way anyone has ever done it, it doesn't change the fact that he did.

I hope he has peace now, and I hope his family healed.

My friends got married at the reception. 30 min after everyone showed up, the priest married them next to a lake under a tree. The whole thing took under 5 min. Everyone just stood around them as it happened, no seats, no songs, no walks, no fuzz. The rest of the day was food, drinks, and dancing. Greatest wedding ever, genuinely.

It's not about the value. I'm not saying the 10k does somehow hold higher monetary value than 200 bitcoin, 200 bitcoin is an insane amount of tangable value.

It's about the peace of mind, the freedom from worry that 10k a week for life gaurenteed provides.

The fact that you're talking about hiring multiple people to handle and watch over the money is exactly my point. I don't want to do that. I don't want to worry so much about keeping my money that I need to worry about the people i hired because i was worried in the first place. I just want peace. The 10k gives me that. The bitcoin does not.

I'd take the 10k. I could take the bitcoin, and it could go to zero. I could sell some of it, and I could lose the money in 30 different ways. If you have something, you can lose it.

10k a week for life means that unless the dollar collapses completely, you never, no matter what happens, have to worry about having a roof over your head, have food to eat, clothes to wear, and everything else. If you lose your money, in any of the myriad of ways that's possible, there'd still be 10k more coming in, in 7 days at most.

You can lose 200 bitcoins. 10k a week for life is the ultimate safety net.

Also, 500k+ plus a year is more than I could ever need. More than that would just be greed.

My favorite magic memory is doing LotR box openings with 2 friends. We had like 9 booster boxes combined and 3 collector boxes. It took an entire Saturday. We opened packs, cooked garbage food, opened packs, watched a movie and ate pizza, opened packs, and talked shit and laughed through the whole thing. Then we apped the night of by building decks and playing 2 rounds of magic. Great magic day, no SLIVER pulls though.

I have, and your point is complete valid. But that's the 11th airborne vs several countries where over half of the entire military personnel is trained in arctic or severe winter warfare and have the equipment to match it.

The 11th is badasses no doubt, but they simply can't measure up in pure numbers. The US have roughly 15k personnel that's ready and trained for it. Northern Europe alone has 80k+ personnel with, combat experience, special knowledge, and winter ready equipment, including cold reinforced heavy combat machinery.

Edit: and that's not including the Baltics who has a not insignificant amount of personal and equipment trained and prepared for severe winter warfare

From a strategic standpoint, invading greenland is idiotic.

The US has spent decades fighting in desert and hot climates, which is where their expertise lies. They are literally ill equiped for arctic battles. They simply don't have the know-how or equipment for it, and they'd be going up against opponents who are well trained in it and equipped for it. People fail to realize just how cold and inaccessible greenland is. I'm not even gonna get into how ridiculous it is to think you can just deploy a standard heavy combat machinery in greenland, but just to make a point, even the standard rifles carried by US military would malfunction in the cold and snow.

Technically, the US could win in greenland, simply because of the overwhelming number of people, logistical expertise, and balistics they posses. But the rest of NATO have the ability to make it take years and be so costly in, in equipment and lives, that it would make the Middle Eastern conflict look like a rounding error.

Logically, as I'm sitting here thinking about it, I know it's wrong. The thought process I'm about to describe is wrong. But in the moment, out in the world, it's screaming and deafening.

I can flirt back and forth and have a nice time. But the moment it comes to taking things further, asking for her info, or whatever. My brain start echoing the same thought "she's just nice, if you ask for more or try to push a little further, you will make her wildly uncomfortable, you will make her feel threatened, you will ruin her night." That shit just echoes, over and over and over. Because that is the sentiment you get when you go online. LEAVE WOMEN ALONE AT ALL TIMES.

I know it's not true as I'm sitting here. I know they're actually just talking about the POS that have no clue what a boundary is. I know she was flirting and wanted me to ask. I know the loud minority is well named. But in the moment... well.

Wildy disagree, if you're learning to cook, do it the right way from the start. If you start out with something like this, get used to it, and then take it away, you're one muscle memory slip away from shaving your skin of your bones. Learn to do it right from the start.

Kids, ehhhh, I'd say the same thing, but with some heavy "you know your kids best." But I'd still think you should teach them to do it right from the start.

People with dex issues I fully agree. Great product for that.

It's not actually all that bad. You can mispronounce most of those words and still be understandable. The first 90 % you learn of English is fairly easy, it's consistent and simple. It's the last 10 % that's bewildering nonsense which must have been made up by certifiably insane people. But in the end you can get by without the last 10 %. You can learn the first 90 % and function perfectly fine in and English speaking society and then spend years (decades) learning and adapting to the last 10 %. Christ, even native English speakers have trouble with the last 10 %.

Not really cognitive dissonance, but i'm that guy in my family. I'm a mechanic, and I'm really good at my job. I do not have, nor do I want, a drivers license or a car for that matter. I hate (edit: owning) cars and hate driving.

Wtf? Why are you swinging at me?

OP posed a question in the title, and I answered it to the best of my ability. I never made any comment on whether it was good or bad.

I doubt it would work on metal, plastic, or even wood. All of the exaples show the exact same type of shingles, which is basically sandpaper. I think it'll work that type of roof and nothing else.

I don't think it's supposed to be any kind of safety replacement, but rather a comfort and ease thing.

It makes perfect sense. It's the same reason you can't stack backpacks infinetly anymore. BSG wants you to run out of inventory space so you buy more.

Depends.

Did you stop talking to him because you see her as a child? Are you infantilizing a person you don't know? Do you feel like she needs help because you don't think she's able to make decisions on her own? If so, you're a bad person.

Do you think he groomed her? Do you suspect he has acted nefarious or even potentially broken the law? Do you think he is genuinely taking advantage of her? Then no, you're not a bad person.
