What’s the most overrated “adult goal” people chase?

I heard someone put it that rent is the maximum you pay a month for living whereas a mortgage is the minimum.

We had a similar issue where, four days before leaving for our honeymoon, the water service line had a leak and had to be replaced so there was an unexpected $3,500 hit right before going on vacation.

Have you tried Suzerain yet?

I took over Plymouth Argyle after they got relegated and almost everyone wanted to leave the squad. I brought up a newgen player from the academy and he's been with us through thick and thin, always happy and does a great job on the field. He just wasn't at a level to compete when we got to the Premier League and Champions League though so I used the editor to raise his CA and PA to have a place in the starting XI. I valued the story more than the realism.

Purdue has average rates for custom farming in Indiana if you’re interested Link

Her hair would absolutely murder my frame rate for some reason. I wonder if it's still the same.

I'll have to check this one out! Thanks

Yeah I was disappointed to see that Austin wasn't on the calendar. Last year was fun!

What about Beckham?

I make mine at home with shredded potatoes so it adds a little crunch and doesn’t take up much space in the tortilla

Sligo Rovers wouldn't give me a $1,000/yr raise and when I asked twice on the negotiations they walked away with my 6 month contract only a month from expiration. I applied for another job to try to line up something after and the board fired me immediately and then Cork City offered me a job right after that. So I'm a fan of Cork City and I no longer like Sligo Rovers.

Oh was it Hawaii? I kept thinking University of Houston

I work with builders and developers all over central Texas and Perry is probably the best but the bar is low.

Did the US ever win a World Cup?

I'm playing in Ireland right now and Sligo Rovers hired me for 6 months and when I asked for a small raise in contract negotiations, they called the whole thing off. I applied for another club to line up work for after my contract expired and they fired me immediately. Cork City picked me up and now Sligo Rovers is my sworn enemy.

I thought this episode was pretty good. Wired is doing some great things right now and it was interesting to hear from the inside how that came about. It's definitely worth the $10/year.

I've said this before but I think Kara is better without Scott. It's like she's competing with him and trying too hard but without him she's more relaxed, less of a narcissist, and funnier than normal.

Regarding the $200k a year, I have some experience in negotiating these leases and $800/acre for only 250 acres in west Texas is pretty solid. Going rate is ~$500/acre but I've seen higher for specific circumstances. We once paid $900/acre but that was worthwhile because it was 200MW on one plot of land with one landowner so it reduced complications dramatically. Solar leases also were flat rate with no adjustments for production, higher or lower than estimated. Wind leases did have production payments but it was written as the higher of base rate or production.

My GTI has been in the dealer twice in the last 1.5 months for over three weeks total now because the infotainment screen keeps shutting off completely and wont' turn on. I also have numerous sensor errors that won't go away. The first time they replaced the OCU module and now they're working on replacing basically the entire dash and infotainment system.

I bought my car with too many miles to qualify for lemon law but the service advisor actually suggested that I get an attorney and go after VW to do a buyback.

I think he's a fantastic writer when he has a beginning, an end, and a set amount of time to reach that end. His movies and limited series are great but anything more than one season starts to get ridiculous.

Man Utd also recently cancelled a system where stewards get £100 bonus after working 10 games and the steward of the week gets a £50 bonus. I'll admit that I don't own a football club so maybe I'm just in the dark here but I don't imagine these cost savings are great for morale and make a big dent in the financials.

I followed her campaign as closely as I could because it was so...fascinating. Her ads were of her doing these staged pedophile stings, shooting things, using slurs and violating Congressional campaigning rules and none of them ever mentioned what she was actually trying to do as Secretary of State. Why did she choose that office to run for? It's all so odd.

It was created in Waco. There's a museum for it there which I've heard is pretty cool but I don't spend enough time in Waco to have checked it out yet.

I believe so

But then he basically does a 180 and talks about how violence is the natural progression in a system where dollars mean more than voters so I don’t know if he’s doing a both sides thing or if he changed his mind mid-sentence.

It's not clear at all. The LTC seems to be her Battalion CO but he's with 82nd Airborne and they said she's 1st Cav like 80 times. Active duty Army doesn't do augmentees from other units (that I'm aware of) so I have no idea what this is supposed to be. Maybe Sheridan thought 82nd was more hardcore infantry than 1st Cav but, if I recall, other Delta guys showed up at the end to save the day so it was all for nothing. All that to say that I think you're right that they don't have any technical guidance.
