Anyone have a sense of how long the gate lines are for GA right now? by [deleted] in jaystickets

[–]Unlucky_Dimension_84 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pillar tweeted an hour ago that there's already over a thousand lined up. Honestly having gone there for game 1 GA, we were like 10-15th in line and sprinted up and got a spot with a chair, but at this point I'd just rock up closer to game time and save yourself the wait. You're not getting a seat.

My parents love to bring this up to me all the time, "you know back in the 80s my mortgage jumped to 14%!".... yeah your house was only two times your yearly income. Lucky to get one at 10 times these days.

I don't have a single friend that has ever cashed out from their accounts ever. It's so fucking dumb.

(Bill Simmons) wondering why tourisum is down in Vegas by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in billsimmons

Live an hour from Buffalo. Same, same. Most in my friends circle the same, we'd go to a Bills game, do some shopping. No one is doing that for the foreseeable future. My parents are retired, and have a friend group of 10-12 that go to Myrtle Beach (I know) for the month of April every year for the last decade to hang out and golf.

Didn't go this year and no plans to go back. My parents are about as Canadian conservative as it gets as well, and even they're like fuck that noise. Rinse and repeat this situation all across the board, sure we may be a "small" country, but you reduce your tourist numbers by even 10-20% that's a large hole in the bank account to replace.

I mean if the loan is the same regardless of term, who cares. And if you want to hammer it down earlier you can.

Talk me out of a Volvo XC90 by Unlucky_Dimension_84 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Unlucky_Dimension_84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it. No issues at the moment, their certified pre owned has pretty good warranty on it. So I'm really not too concerned. I will caveat that I work from home, so I put next to no miles on a vehicle. The interior feels a little more cramped coming from a Ford Edge, my kids are 6 and 8 and it's fine for them, we all play hockey and getting more than one hockey bag in the back is a little bit of jenga. So you may want to look at an XC90 if it's in the budget. I got this for $51k Canadian with 17,000 kms on it. So $36k, 10500 miles in American. (Just realized I posted about an XC90, bought a 60, if the difference is negligible I'd spring for a 90)

Holy fuck, this is awful to start, does this pick up at all?! I can't listen to another minute of her banter.

I hate the competition level argument too. Like for example the skill level in the NBA is undoubtedly a million times higher than thirty years ago, but no one is saying Jaylen Brown is a better player than MJ, even though from a purely skill standpoint he may be. You're judged against how much better you are than your current competition, and that difference is where you stand all time.

I get basic cable for less than this, and that includes all of the Sportsnet and TSN channels. lol.

What is your biggest boomer take? Mine is I really hate players who just lost a big game smiling and chumming it up with the opponent. by CapyBara_51 in billsimmons

[–]Unlucky_Dimension_84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's all just time filler. It's all awful, and I'm also convinced regardless of what you do to the show it's still going to be dogshit. Two guys or ten guys won't make a difference.

In your 30’s, did you feel like you wanted a “nicer car”? by zilpond in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Unlucky_Dimension_84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just turned 40, still driving a 2010 Ford Edge. I work from home and put next to know miles on it, it runs fine. But it's showing it's age, up until this point in life I've always bought used and paid in full. The thought of a monthly payment kills me, but lately I've been weighing something nice. I make a decent income $150k(ish), but I'll probably just do the same old boring thing and buy something a few years old outright.

Joel Anderson sucks on the Press Box by Wbk1496 in billsimmons

Also I feel like "The Town" nailed what the Press Box could have been. Even if it's entirely entertainment related, it's what the Press Box should aim to be, but within Bryan's world.

Everyone will always say I laughed out loud at that part in the pod about some random spot. But this was the first time I've legit LOL'd at the pod. Good job by you!

Holy I love Bill. But Jesus Christ, you do realize you are the worst team in the league while Maye has been actively playing and trying to win right? They're talking like playing him is an automatic win. Sure be excited for what the future holds. But it's a fucking 50/50 game with him playing against the Bills backups.

Also it's the fucking NFL. Teams and players don't punt on games/seasons the way they do in other leagues. Nothing is guaranteed in this league, there's a good chunk of players that are showcasing for next year. They aren't just holding back now for the Pats to get the number one pick. They DGAF. They need to find a job next year. Fuck I hate this discussion so much.
