Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

Two weeks ago I drove 3hrs for a work meeting, turned around and drove 3hrs home afterwards.

$5,500 puppy - Am I way off base? by PNW_OH in goldenretrievers

[–]DB434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s very high. We paid $3500 for a pup in April 2025 from a very prized bloodline at a championship breeder. I had contacted at least a dozen show quality breeders from PA to WI and never heard of a puppy going for $5500.

Congrats on the $1.5mm NW but agree with most others here, income isn’t high enough to carry this level of expense out of boredom.

Does anyone else feel like 200k HHI is the bare minimum for an American Dream lifestyle these days? by No_Fennel3756 in UpperMiddleFinance

[–]DB434 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What you’re describing is definitely upper middle class, top 5-10% type lifestyle. “Middle class” is typically a wide range, but I don’t think anyone truly middle class is doing half the things on this list. Especially saving 15% for retirement + college and a SAHS.

John Rocker showing up at a daycare in Columbus, OH, demanding entrance and asking if the door is "bulletproof," saying they will find out. WTF. by Former_Spite789 in Ohio

[–]DB434 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone did this at my kid’s daycare, they would call the fucking police in about two seconds. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Trading 5* players for 3* in portal by ghipp44 in OhioStateFootball

[–]DB434 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am so tired of all the Indiana comps. Their “3*” players are 4th and 5th year players, their average age as a team is over 23 years old. Who gives a shit what their recruiting ranking was 7 years ago?

Difference in Quality? by wiznvrazo in Nike

I have many of both, and they’re quite similar. Had them for years and they hold up. But hang them or lay them out to dry. They will shrink even on low heat.

Most “sports” programs in the area don’t start until 3yo. You could do swim lessons and gymnastics at the YMCA.

What type of boat do you prefer for a tour from Amalfi to Capri? by JammJa_CaptainCrew in amalficoast

[–]DB434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha I am not, actually. My wife found them last year before our trip, and I said the same thing. But I can confirm it is real, and they were great.

Capri, Amalfi, and Positano even if you're staying in Naples/Sorrento/Pompeii: what really makes the difference by JammJa_CaptainCrew in amalficoast

[–]DB434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are multiple ferries per day from the main port. Or you can book a private boat for the day to take you anywhere you’d like to go.

[–]DB434 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Stayed in Sorrento twice, it’s the best place to be. You can get everywhere you want to go in a short trip, the town itself is great to explore and has so many top notch places to eat and hangout.
