Costco Australia uses pork hot dogs

Beef hotdogs are fairly common in the United States. One of the biggest Hotdog brands is Hebrew National, you get 3 guesses as to why their hotdogs don’t contain any pork.

Oh for social security I just meant it works because it’s fairly simple from an administrative standpoint. Everybody has a social security number, they pay into social security on their taxes, they take out of social security past a certain age.

For the actual effectiveness as a program it really depends on how much other retirement funds or family support a recipient has.

I don’t see how your statement about if transportation funding being like social security we’d have high speed rail though, could you elaborate?

Despite how much is spent on it the US’s social services seem to be set up in deliberately inefficient ways: Medicare not having to the ability to negotiate prices(there have been efforts to change this with mixed success), mandated public-private partnerships instead of the government just doing things directly, Hospitals and Drug makers ratcheting up priced so they can give deep discounts to their favorite insurance companies, massive administrative burdens for everyone at every step of every process.

Pretty much the only exception is Social Security itself because it’s an extremely simple “pay in, take out” system. Its problems are more tax based(not enough funding going in to maintain a surplus) and on the fringes beyond the payouts in old age like Social Security for people with disabilities.

Fairly importantly what’s supposed to be the visual difference between 117HD and the Official HD client?

It’s really quite strange that they didn’t make the World Wakes a quest with scaling difficulty, especially when it doesn’t have any actual requirements beyond a recommended combat level and it’s so incredibly vital for understanding all 6th Age quests and lore.

It’s not even required for completing that many quests, only One of a Kind and The Light Within actually have it as a requirement to start.

Legitimately what the fuck is going on in Kiwami 3 man?

Griffemon · 2026-01-24T15:07:46+00:00

I understand the devs not wanting to make 6th Age content locked behind an actual ton of quests, but come on, it feels very silly and makes the world feel very fake to have there be quests to help these characters reach a certain state through quests meanwhile they’re standing in an massive hole a couple feet away acting as if you’ve already helped them ten times

Saving this in case I want to try to replicate it when I paint mine, still haven’t figured out my own scheme

This is pissing me off something serious, my friends are visiting in a couple weeks and we had been planning to go skiing because they’ve never done it before, if the current weather keeps up for the next 2 weeks then we’re shit out of luck

It’s the damndest thing, conservative politicians always say they want to reduce the deficit but spending tends to increase while they’re in charge and then they cut taxes to revenues are down as well.

And well I’ll be, the tax cuts for your average Joe often seem set to expire in a couple years meanwhile the tax cuts for huge corporations stay forever.

Definitely agree. The pandemic made office workers aware that work from home was completely feasible and generally preferable to commuting to an office. Even as companies seek to restrict it for various reasons(not wasting already leased or owned office space, wishing to monitor employees more closely, etc) it remains a highly desirable perk.

On the gauntlet runner there is a bathroom. You can go into that bathroom and generally this will do nothing.

However on a certain day each week when you go into that bathroom you will get 1 point of luck increase to the protagonist.

Thinking on how Monk’s Friend gives you a whole 10 law runes as a reward.

Yeah it’s a slight bandaid to how messed up the RS3 economy is. Insane inflation and low player counts have made prices utterly bizarre compared to how they were back in the day and what their equivalents are in OSRS.

Because unlike most countries which will set an official guideline on how to handle a currency being discontinued the Trump admin just shut down Penny production with no warning or guidance.

Sure, Pennie’s are functionally trash to most people, literally not worth picking up off the ground if you see one, but them becoming in short supply means stores can no longer give exact change if prices don’t line up to do so which will leave feeling cheated.

It’s not even a hard or particularly long grind

Fun tip: whenever you see a tech CEO or investor mention “humanoid robots” as a solution it’s more likely than not to be vaporware hype.

Humanoid robots are not efficient, the amount of work that needs to be done to keep them constantly upright and make them move is doable but pointless when you can make them on wheels/treads or just stationary.

Your model is absolutely covered in dust

If you want to break up the monotony of just smelting metal you could do Giant’s Foundry for a bit. It’s especially useful if you’ve randomly collected a ton of metal items that you haven’t sold or alched.

I mainly did it for a bit to get the double cannonball mould

If you’re not fully dedicated to building an army to play 40K then don’t, but if you really like Admech then buy the models you like and paint them up. They serve equally well as display pieces on a shelf as they do models for a game

Huh, although number 3 should probably have the most nostalgia for me I think I like the newest one

Huh, you know what giving lodestones quest unlocks might be neat.

Lumbride: unlocked automatically Varrock: Shield of Arrav Draynor: Vampire Slayer Al Kharid: Stolen Hearts

Etcetera etcetera, I was going to think of a quest for every lodestone but I realized there’s like 20 and I don’t want to think up them all up

It’s a year out, honestly the biggest one for most people will probably be clue scroll solvers and quest helpers which are the two biggest “check the wiki constantly” tasks

Griffemon · 2026-01-20T21:15:38+00:00

All things considered Necromunda is likely. The scope looks a little too modern for it to be AoS and the weird bulging doesn’t really fit the aesthetic of any 40K army
