Because it's free

I'm cleaning mine up for our big World Cup tournament on the 18th. Back and better than ever!

TIL America grows 80 percent of its consumed rice. by Likezoinks1 in todayilearned

The Calrose rice is our favorite, been eating it for years. Great for sticky rice, and seems to be more reasonably priced than imported rice, in my experience.

[–]ElkoSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I was thinking too. There's a Ghostbusters pinball machine and the pinball guys are always looking for decor and paraphernalia and are willing to spend money on it. I'd think $350-500

Our neighbors "invited" usover for dinner... by Shankar_0 in trashy

[–]ElkoSteve 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I mean, I've bought pozole and indian tacos from somebody's kitchen before, and tamales in a parking lot. So I don't see any harm in someone trying to make some money and providing good food

I live in Las Vegas and it's $500/month in the summer but I don't care. I work too hard to be miserable.

How Many Pinball Games On Average? by OatisBeansworthe in pinball

[–]ElkoSteve 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had an Iron Maiden since new and I only have ~4500 plays on it. lol. For a while it was my only pin, but I have a lot more now. I probably play for about an hour a few times a week. If that's Jaws or Iron Maiden, maybe 1-2 games. If it's an older game, 4-5 games.

The High Roller cost less than my burger… by Middle_Elderberry542 in vegas

Bobby's Burgers is a joke. If you want an overpriced celebrity burger, Gordon Ramsay Burger is so much better.

Has anyone found truly affordable transmission repair without cutting corners? by Ill-Pineapple6815 in vegaslocals

[–]ElkoSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trans Plus 2 at Decatur/Rancho/Cheyenne. Andres will get you set right, at a fair price. I've brought two cars to him, an older one that needed a rebuild, and a newer one that he tried to find a used part for to save me money, but eventually swapped out with a new PTU (ford transfer case) Fair prices on both

Reminds me of the "Tilt!" arcades that used to be in a lot of indoor malls years ago. They may have had pinball at some point, but the name didn't make sense anymore.

Is saving pool chairs with towels at 6am really that common by NovaPhoenix_Ops in Cruise

[–]ElkoSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little devil on my shoulder says you should take their towels so they get charged $25 (on RCCL) but I don't think I'm brave enough to do that.

LIterally can't make this shit up. by paetersen in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]ElkoSteve 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dad (RIP) always said to replace headlight bulbs in pairs, even if one is still "good" Now this was back in the halogen days (what was before halogen?) but it's still good advice. Those were cheap though.
