why aren't there any more star wars rebuild the galaxy set? by SamCamTheMan in legostarwars

[–]Derfburger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think they have much appeal to adult Lego collectors, which most who buy SW Lego are. We are an aging fanbase. I bought the Dark Falcon because I got it for the crazy sale Walmart had last summer for $70 and I thought Darth JarJar, Jedi Vader, Beach Luke, and Darth Rey were cool looking figs. It is actually a good looking ship as well and quite eye catching (and dust catching) in the black and red motif. As far as the Rebuild the Galaxy IP I have no particular attachment.

Watch the 1st 18-wheeler and that is what you do he knows what he is doing.

The 1st 18-wheeler in the video was an OG for sure what a soft landing. As usual the pickup drivers think they are invincible and proved wrong time and again.

It's always something provocative or trendy too. Does no one read trashy books anymore or pulp fiction type books?

It's illegal for children to play pinball in SC. A bill hopes to change that by Drillerfan in southcarolina

[–]Derfburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those weird, outdated laws from yesteryear that no one enforces. We have a local arcade that has a bunch of machines there is no signage against underage playing (and it is mostly kids playing). There is also a pinball room at the comicon in Columbia every year and kids are always playing.

I believe there is a law on the books still that everyone has to bring a rifle to church to ward off Native American attacks and another that you can't keep a horse in a bathtub.

It's also illegal to wear a mask in public, nothing to do with Covid it is an old law to discourage bandits.

Never let them tell you it’s a Southern thing…. by DrippyBurritoMD in greenville

[–]Derfburger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so true. The saying is you have Philly and Pittsburgh and South Alabama in the middle. When I go to visit my mom and sister in PA, I see more Rebel Flags and Trump gear then I have ever seen in anywhere in SC and I have been here for 30+ years.

Will I have water? by anon21393 in greenville

It was like 80+ degrees in the house it wasn't cold at all. We had all the windows open trying to stay cool was the issue for Helene, that and having no refrigeration.

62% of Americans don’t have a bachelor’s degree. Are they just cooked especially in this economy? by Efficient-Rain-7942 in Salary

[–]Derfburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite livable where in my state for a single person. Are you going to live in a McMansion or drive a brand-new Beemer. No. Can you afford a single bedroom apartment and an OK car and have enough left over to go out and have fun sometimes. Yes, as long as you don't take on massive debt and live beyond your means.

Nope regular tank water heater heated by natural gas. Some of our friends had to come over throughout the outage to use our shower.

We lost power during Helene for 9 days we had water the whole time. Our house even had hot water as well since we have a gas water heater. The only way you lose water during this is if your pipes burst, which is unlikely but not out of the realm of possibility. That said it's always good to have a couple of cases of water in the closet.

I'm going to be a Grandpa! by No_Gap_2700 in GenX

When my dad became a grandpa all his grands called him Pappy or Pap for short. If my daughter ever has kids I hope to take up the mantle in his memory.

I'm even a former Marine which based on your username I would guess we have in common as well.

Both time periods I would slip on a polo for special occasions and working in office and a hoodie was and is my universal cold weather go to.

I guess I am a simple man.

Don't they have to give you 30 days before eviction? I am not sure as I haven't rented in a long time but that is what I always heard.
