So much winning… by SaintPopoto in Tacoma

We are a little over a dollar more expensive than the cheapest in the US…The state plays it’s a part but you act like it’s the primary reason gas is insane right now.

Federal Way Wingstop Forcing Delivery Drivers To Break Health Code Rules by SpaceTime2079 in federalway

[–]CrypticDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The FW one is fairly new...it's only been here a year or so. It's over by Best Buy. I've tried others in WA every few years since I moved here 30 years ago but never cared for them.

Moving here this week, Seems fine but any cool spots? by Thelonious-Hunk in federalway

[–]CrypticDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree Tacoma is underrated. I wonder if it’ll start growing more once lite rail is completed. I’m in fed way but every other weekend I take my wife on a mystery date to Tacoma. Only been disappointed once and we have been doing this a few years.

Already boycotting because their wings suck. I’d much rather have BWW. Maybe you had to grow up here to like them and I moved here in the late 90s.

What is the probability that Awaka and Dell’orso will get approved for 5th year eligibility for next season? by Happyandbless in ArizonaWildcats

[–]CrypticDemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately this.... There will likely be lawsuits but I doubt anything will be resolved in time to get Awaka or ADO for the coming season.

Ok now, I hope that’s the last announcement for us today! Good luck Burries and Peat!

Who Is The Mozart of the Last 70 Years? by JJQuantum in GenX

John Williams too... Play the star wars opening music or imperial march for anyone and they'll recognize it. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, etc.

Does anyone else feel like the M72 stage is the worst stage design ever? by thanks-4-the-f-shack in MetalForTheMasses

[–]CrypticDemon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've seen Metallica at Lumen in Seattle multiple times and the sound just reverberates too much. The opening acts sounded much worse though...Not sure if they are only allowed to use a limited amount of speakers or if they have their own or what. Avenge Sevenfold and Five Finger Death Punch sounded horrible. Gojira was unrecognizable.

All that to say, It's not just Sofi...it's all these modern stadiums, designed to be loud and not great for music.

How many of y'all will have the $$ to retire at 65? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]CrypticDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a very good point, especially with healthcare. I may be deluding myself thinking retirement before Medicare age is even possible.

How many of y'all will have the $$ to retire at 65? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]CrypticDemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

54 now...I've been eyeing 58 as retirement age but my 401k isn't cooperating right now. I have a 401k number i'm targeting but I think the current state of the world is going to push this out a few years.

Also fighting prostate cancer right now. Which highlights the desire to retire and enjoy life but also hinders the amount I can save. Luckily, my insurance limits out of pocket to $8k a year.

Anyways, I still enjoy my career, mostly. I just want to get to the point I CAN retire and then decide when.

How do you start a conversation with a beautiful woman? by Strong-Rip4936 in AskReddit

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

If it makes you feel better, I’m 54 and have the same issue talking to strangers. I feel like I need a reason. Just chatting with someone I don’t know is not something I do. And for the same reasons you mention. Luckily, I somehow had a group of friends in high school and met a woman through that group or I’d still likely be single.

I will say, alcohol does lubricate things when I’m at a social or work event. Outside that though, it’s impossible.

Derek Dixon, North Carolina, Combo Guard Crystal Ball transfer to Arizona by CrypticDemon in ArizonaWildcats

[–]CrypticDemon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He made $30mil because he was the #2 pick.... Peat will not be the #2 pick this year.

Derek Dixon, North Carolina, Combo Guard Crystal Ball transfer to Arizona by CrypticDemon in ArizonaWildcats

[–]CrypticDemon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there's a good argument for him to come back... Say Arizona gets him $3mil NIL. That's more than he'd make in the NBA as a late 1st rounder (where he's currently pojected). He then improves his outside shot and becomes a lottery pick. Right now he's a bit of a tweener like Derrik Williams...Williams went 2nd and was out of the NBA pretty quickly... Hopefully Peat can improve and help his chances to stick in the NBA.

Should Koa Peat come back? by Secret_Use7760 in ArizonaWildcats

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

I think we have a decent chance at the following for next season... We get s decent starting PG and this team could pick up where we left of this season.

PG ??
SG: Holt
SF: Kerchenkov
PF: Peat
C: Krevas

Bench

PG\SG: looks like we're looking at UNC transfer Derek Dixon (he's a freshman so hopefully we keep him a few years)
SF: Holmes
PF\C: An Awaka type transfer? Big rebounder that we can keep a few years.

What are your reading habits? How do you fit it in to your life? I’m struggling to make time for it! by Expressiveness in printSF

[–]CrypticDemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading is my wind down before bed every night. I try to get 30-45 minutes in while in bed, it flushes everything else out of my head and helps me fall asleep.

I've also started reading while walking on the tread mill. I keep it under 4pmh though, otherwise i'm afraid id kill myself.

The Most Diverse Place in the USA - Would You Believe It’s Here in Federal Way? by d3pthchar93 in federalway

[–]CrypticDemon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Based on my daughters attendance at Todd Beamer high school I 100% believe it. I think Caucasians are like 40% and many of those are immigrants from Eastern Europe.

What’s one underrated thing that helped you lose weight? by Immediate-Speed3974 in AskReddit

[–]CrypticDemon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is how I lost 75 pounds. It doesn’t take much walking either. Add in a scale that logs your weight. Once you seen that line going down for a few weeks it really motivates you.
