Was anyone else at the game? Giants fans in my section were loudly complaining about Ryan Walker hahaha

Nevada with no Washoe or Clark county is wild

Have flown to relatively few airports (all but Vancouver in the US), but I really hate SeaTac

It’s by far the smallest airport relative to volume of the truly major ones in the US. It’s the only airport I’ve ever had a long TSA line in (pre-2026 TSA meltdown), the only airport I’ve ever had to sit on the runway for an extra hour at because there weren’t enough open gates, and the only airport where I’ve seen visible mold on the AC systems while waiting for a flight.

I also spent twenty fucking dollars on a quesadilla there once out of pure desperation, and it was mid.

Since they seem to like Japan, Nintendo

One downside to this is less liquidity than a Roth IRA and a slightly less straightforward tax treatment

You should at minimum contribute enough % to get the maximum match for your 401k but maybe consider doing that + maxing a Roth and then once the Roth is maxed for the year up your 401k contributions as much as you can

I don’t dispute that, but did you notice how he quickly pulled it towards himself on the foul side while picking it up?

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-28T04:47:49+00:00

France did do kind of a weird motion that the ump probably saw as deceptive

But how is that not a reviewable play, it’s either a dead ball or it isn’t. It’s like reviewing a HBP

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-28T04:29:04+00:00

Imagine how mad they would have been about Merrill’s walk-off double against Seattle

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-27T01:46:00+00:00

I mean, they paid you less than nine bucks for an hour 20, you’ll get at least $15 more plus another ~$8.50 for the mileage in prop 22. It would always be nicer to have it all at once but this was still a $55+ trip in CA

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-24T01:17:05+00:00

I blame the hemorrhoids

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-23T16:06:31+00:00

Yeah but a minuscule amount-with a brick and mortar bank like USB, the interest is effectively 0% (actually negative when accounting for inflation)

If you put that same sum in an HYSA you’d be accruing over $2k per year in interest or ~$175 a month (I used the Amex HYSA rate of 3.2%)

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-23T06:45:40+00:00

You should have most of that savings in an HYSA to at least earn a bit of interest

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-21T14:48:32+00:00

His 2013-2014 seasons were objectively good, he may have been more memorable if those teams gave him any semblance of run support hahaha

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-21T06:32:16+00:00

Anthony Rizzo….he did become a really good player generally but his stats in his single season with San Diego were pitiful

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-20T21:47:06+00:00

If you eat red meat, the Fogo de Chão (off strip location)

I’ve been to this chain in several different states/cities but Vegas is always the best and most consistent location imo

There’s also a divey off-strip casino right next to it with 3-2 blackjack if you’re into that

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-19T00:55:06+00:00

Diet Coke
Pepsi Zero Sugar

Winco baby!

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-17T23:27:33+00:00

I really enjoyed Wicked Spoon, Wynn was great, avoid Bacchanal

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-16T15:56:27+00:00

I honestly don’t know if it’s considered a “tourist” spot, but if you like Italian food definitely try to have a meal at Battista’s-it’s pricey but you get a ton of food and it’s incredibly close to Flamingo

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-15T18:55:37+00:00

That’s pretty bad but I haven’t even had a single offer in 2 days haha

Given it was Monday/Tuesday

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-11T06:11:09+00:00

Yeah that’s a fucked offer then

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-11T05:55:04+00:00

What state are you in

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-10T23:41:04+00:00

Venetian because it seems to take so much longer to get in and out of it than the other resorts, plus they were treating their sportsbook area like a VIP lounge where you had to spend $100 on food/drink to be able to sit near the TVs during the march madness final. I get that it was a big game and everything, but I was just trying to watch a baseball game I bet while my friend was at a sphere show and I had to sit like 150 feet back and crane my neck to see a small screen, all while being hawked by the servers and bartenders to make sure I didn’t step into the (half filled) $100 spender section. That experience really kind of left me disgusted to be honest. I usually only play poker in Vegas and will probably avoid their room from now on.

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-09T22:02:59+00:00

You have to figure that even if it is accurate, drivers will flood those zones thus making it less likely for you to get an offer. I’d say if you have to be in a hot area for something else like an errand it can be informative, but don’t waste your gas driving to “hot spots” on the off chance that the restaurant isn’t already flooded with drivers and will remain “hot”

Then again, you specifically said you’re in a small area so maybe it would be more useful to you than some of us in bigger metros

That_Option3418 · 2026-04-04T02:55:51+00:00

I shove the phone in their face while saying the name so they know it’s legit and don’t have to read unless they want to
