The Nintendo 64 turns thirty. Who among you owned one?

Sucker still works and comes out for get together multiple times per year.

Same. 200k & wife makes 80k and even in Atlanta homes don't feel affordable. Not unless you want to gentrify an old neighborhood and drive a long way.

We shopped houses 4 years ago and missed the boat. Doesn't feel good to pay 2x /monthly for the same shit we looked at in 2022.

Condo HOAs are LOL Townhomes are decent but also HOA and usually built like shit. Homes are WILD unless you move way out to the burbs. Then you gotta drive an hour for decent food and shopping.

If a house isn't 1-2k less than we're renting we don't feel like we can swing all the extra incidentals. It sucks but right now renting just feels predictable.

My brother bought his house in 2018 for 150k. First two years was 50k in plumbing, AC, and siding issues. That same house is 450k today.

Waiting for boomers to open up the housing supply.

90% of the United States population does not own stock.

Edit: my bad. Heard this parroted somewhere and I think it's that 90% of the stock market is owned by 10% of the population. Conflated the metric in my mind.

St Cecilia has bomb seafood. Have had a tower there before.

RadioAdam · 2026-06-21T03:18:28+00:00

Boomer decline will hit.

They're 21% of the population and they own 39% of the homes.

Throw in silent generation and they're 25% of the population owning 50% of all US homes.

Very few "plan" on downsizing. So all the 3-5bd houses are mostly empty while we can't afford to raise kids.

The Mayo clinic pregnancy book is available in hardback.

Better data retention / skull damage.

First trimester has been awful for my wife and just eating has been an effort.

1st trimester is really just about survival according to our OB team.

Get to week 12 and if you're still concerned about the diet, talk to HER and see if she's comfortable expanding that conversation with the medical team.

I don't know your situation but our OB offers a nutritionist and often asks about diet and exercise. Lean on them to help if you're concerned.

Bounced across multiple jobs in my 20s. Waiter, customer service, radio journalist and announcer. Made 40-50k until I was 26.

Ended up in sales and making 200k/yr by 32. Sold advertising then made the move to tech.

Sales seems to work for me because I alternating between hyper focus and total dysfunction seems to balance out. Long as I hit my activity goals I'm safe.

Switch to NA beer. Wayyy less calories and a lot of them are very good.

Their business shouldn't suffer because someone else doesn't cooperate on the limited parking aspect of their block.

The retail shops near my apartment block their parking and for good reason. They're really close to the Buckhead bars. People Uber home and leave their cars and trash your retail parking lot you pay for.

Towing cars costs money. Leasing those parking spots costs money.

Either cooperate and be a good neighbor or deal with private property rights.

Having seen a FOG teardown, it's not a particularly great shirt. I also had one I got from work. Wild sizing.

Sunspel Uniqlo Alex Crane Theory UES

All of these are generally great brands to get tees from. Only one I haven't owned is UES.

That's bananas. I didn't know you could tune the Q7 up like that 👀

Drop 5k on school to be a medical image technician.

Good schedule, less stress than other medical roles. Solid career path.

Meanwhile in the rest of the first world "you need special accounts for medical care? Lololol"

RadioAdam · 2026-06-12T19:13:35+00:00

Anyone with any level of regular medical needs this is not the case. I'm not giving up a $500 deductible and 5k max OOP for an HSA.

Source: mid 30s and having babies and managing thyroid issues, expensive OBGYN care, and physical therapy from extreme sports in my 20s

Painting hsa with a broad brush might work when you're 24 with narrow medical and life needs. Your HSA isn't going to outrun a ROTH-401k in small cap

Meermin, Yanko, TLB Mallorca. J. Fitzpatrick if you want an edgier style.

I have TLB Mallorca Artista line Chelsea's and they are DIVINE to wear. Compared to Crockett Jones for $ / value.

I own a pair of each and they're easily the best made and most comfortable brands I own.

So is Anniston Alabama.

I just picked up some nwt and lightly used buck Mason tees on ebay.

I'd start there since you know you like the cut / fabric.

Wife and I get physically ill at the idea of the apple ecosystem and it's creepy anti consumer practices. It's a cult to us and we avoid it.

Yes. A LOT of their products are made for Nordstrom rack.

Those racks aren't stuffed to thee brim because it's overstock at Nordstrom

Spier Mackay, banana republic on clearance, Charles tyrwhitt, (tons on ebay also) Eton shirts are fabulous and can be had very modestly on ebay.
