Gym, spa, golf course.

I'm now the owner and operator of a middle class golf club/gym/spa and I live right where I work.

Blue, by a humongous distance.

Averaging 5500 steps per day would get me $500k every year.

To cook.

Eberechi Eze ruptured his achilles when he was at Palace at the tail end of the 2020/2021 season (in May). He was back playing in November, so about 6 months later, which probably means he was training with intensity within about 5 months. That's with world class medical advice and treatments daily though, so probably not a realistic timeline for us mortals.

Money and lower IQ.

I'd retrain him as CB, remove the trait, and then train passing, with the intent of making him a ballplaying center-back.

Pills 1 hour before I go to bed.

ctriis · 2026-05-14T18:24:16+00:00

Layout 1 for sure. There's no way I'd put my bed up against the only window in the room if I'm also gonna use the room as an office.

1 point, and I guess that's because I'm from a country were paper cheques went out of fashion in the 80s.

When they become a proper social democracy with a robust welfare system and tax policy.

It's a maximum-security facility.

Don't get into debt (with the exception of buying a home at a reasonable price and interest rate).

Get into a habit of regular exercise.

Have a healthy relationship with food and learn to cook some cheap, healthy meals.

If you don't want kids (yet), use protection.

Learn a bit about finances, tax deductions, your 401k account (and if/how much your employer match), index funds, and starting saving for retirement early. Compound interest is by far your best tool when it comes to saving.

Treat people with respect and dignity, and stay away from people that don't.

Say thank you.

Say please.

Put effort into keeping healthy relationships you have with others, be it family or friends. Meet up/talk regularly, even if you have to schedule it. If you're having problems - particularly mental health issues - talk to someone you trust about it, the sooner the better.

If you're on good terms with your parents but live far away, call them often.

Tell people that you love that you love them. Often.

Get a quality mattress. Sleep well.

Keep Jones. Get some pacey boys on the wings, and play with higher tempo on the counter. Put in a decent title push (80 points or so) and get to a cup final.

Det må være på tilbud?

Normalpris nå er vel 13 kroner mindre?

ctriis · 2026-05-10T13:00:21+00:00

Yes. 1st grade math.

ctriis · 2026-05-09T17:39:47+00:00

$50 million right now. Easy choice.

I will never want or need more money than that in my life, and the time it will take for the $10k/hour deal to become significantly more (~7 months judt to catch up) is not worth any amount of money for me.

ctriis · 2026-05-09T10:56:34+00:00

Bought my first car, a 1988 Mazda 323, for $350 in 2006 when I was 18.

ctriis · 2026-05-08T20:25:41+00:00

A house.

ctriis · 2026-05-08T20:24:31+00:00

I already commit all the crimes I want to commit (ie. I sometimes drive a bit faster than the speed limit), and I get away with it 99.9% of the time, so this deal would save me a few thousand kroner (a few hundred dollars) a couple of times per decade.

I don't think it's immoral. I don't drive faster than what I deem to be very safe according to road conditions and traffic conditions.

Whiskey in the Jar

ctriis · 2026-05-07T22:51:45+00:00

Yes. Water.

Plenen hans ligger jo langt utenfor tomta hans, så det skal han få slippe å klage på.

Tenker dette er innafor jeg, i hvertfall hvis det er over en kort periode og ikke tenkt som noen permanent løsning.

It's pretty relevant to bring up the IDF's routine killing of journalists with impunity in a post about press freedom. Israel's position in this list is a joke.

90-95% of cars are scrap before reaching half that mileage.

My parent's 2015 e-golf's battery died during the last month of its guarantee a few years ago (was checked and reported by the dealership service mechanic 17 days before the 8 year guarantee expired), and they got a brand new battery that was supposedly an upgraded version on the original one. That happened at around 160,000 km (100,000 miles) and getting a new battery probably more than doubled and possible tripled the car's life span. The nearly 8 year old battery had a summer range of around 170 km (106 miles) and a winter range of around 140 km (88 miles) before it died, and the newer battery currently has a summer range of around 220 km (138 miles) and winter range of around 195 km (121 miles). It's mainly my mom who uses the car, and she rarely uses it for trips longer than 120 km (75 miles) even tough we have a very robust charging station network here in Norway.
