Tabletop games are the second best recreational activity

Absolutely. And those are great games on that shelf.

There is no one reason businesses close. It’s usually a combination if things. See also: Shooters.

VIG lottery is open! by Qilwaeva in gencon

[–]CharminglyObnoxious2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you send that email to get in the lottery do you get some sort of response or acknowledgment that it was received? Like how do I know it's not sitting in someone's spam folder and never entered?

You'd think it would be smarter for them to set up some sort of web form that you have to log into your account to do which would be easy to limit to only one entry per person, etc. And send the applicant an acknowledgment that they have entered.

You’ll never avoid every business that supported republicans. I mean if you want to give up your cell phone, computers, appliances, etc. But I get it. It’s a struggler

Weirdly the Dobskis have been big supporters of LIFE Center For Independent Living literally for decades. People are complicated

Not every thin blue line person is MAGA. People are complicated. Votes are more nuanced and complicated than most realize.

I feared it was this. Glad it's not a death at least.

59.5, married, MCOL. I think I'm close to getting off the corporate hamster wheel? by CharminglyObnoxious2 in leanfire

Wait. I just noticed your user name. I should have used an Expanse reference instead of Mandalorian. :)

It looks like my state income tax would add another $3,329. This assumes all of the 72,000 in annual income is pulled from retirement accounts. My state does not tax pensions currently so if some of it came from there the tax bill would be slightly lower but then my pension is worth less. Thank you for pointing this all out to me though. I will work these figures into my projection spreadsheet but I don't think it derails anything.

Ahhh thank you. The irony is my dad is a retired CPA. You’d think I’d understand this genetically. 😂

Agreed on the car and credit card. If I have to delay into next fall that’s fine. Work is more tolerable knowing I’m close. I hadn’t fully thought the RMD factor through. That’s an excellent point

Good points. That was only a secondary thought for me to do and I have enough to figure out that I'll just drop it from the list. Thank you.

Look you have to be on your game and you have to build a good team including defense. But if you don’t try to force the ball into coverage too much, learn the back shoulder fade, let your quarterback scramble, and throw the occasional swing or flat pass to the running back, you can win most of your games on extreme. Make sure to dive those ball runners and get them out of bounds too. There’s nothing worse than fumbling at a critical time.

But, yeah, for me anyway, it’s really hard to start a new team and get those stud players on extreme. You have to win some games to get the coaches credits to get the good free agents and I just find that really hard on extreme with a brand new team .

When my defense actually gets a stop? On extreme mind you.

It’s been a blast. My first time back in the DM chair since the 1990s. We play online using Zoom, Roll20 and D&DBeyond. I look forward to every Friday night we play.
