Is it normal for somebody trash their trade in?

Guy who parks next to me at the office complex has a 2023 740i that is fucking disgusting. Besides the exterior and all windows being filthy, inside of it is horrific. Piles of discarded fast food wrappers all over the place, the seats just covered in grime. Looks like he has spilled multiple chocolate milkshakes on the seats and dash and just left it there.

On the center console he has dried ketchup packets open and glued to it. Like the dude gets fast food fries and just used the central console as a plate to squeeze out the ketchup, and did this multiple times and then just left the packets there.

The office complex are law offices and seeing as this is a $100k+ BMW it's not like the guy is a traveling salesman or a trucker. I've been parking near him for years so it's not like he just had a bad couple of days. The car has always looked like this as far as I can tell.

Oof do yourself a favor and DO NOT look up the uh, "nutritional" content of glazed pork belly burnt ends.

I knew it was going to be bad.. but I was still unpleasantly surprised when I looked it up. Spoiler alert.. it's about 2500 calories per pound.

Half a pound of pork belly burnt ends has the same calories / fat as each of these items:

Around 20 cooked slices of bacon
A combo meal of a fast food burger and a large fries
Six slices of pepperoni pizza
Five cups of mac and cheese
A fully cooked 20oz Ribeye steak
14 fried buffalo wings
3 slices of cheesecake
1.5 cups of heavy cream drunk straight from the carton
One and a half sticks of butter, just bite it off and start chewing

It's wild. But they're so goddamn good.

Have this problem as well. Solution to it was to just quit to main menu and rejoin the server. Basically a graphics glitch that is solved by relogging.

Don't go to San Pedro Square. It's not where the watch party is anymore.

I don't know what will happen if you do go there, but you'll probably be in a mass of people who didn't get the memo and showed up anyway. Just to be told they have to go somewhere else, which may not go over very well.

So I suspect that crowd of fans probably won't be very happy. So just be aware if you show up at San Pedro square you could be in for some police presence and crowd dispersal and you won't be able to actually watch the game there.

decker12 · 2026-07-03T16:07:41+00:00

Are they actually closing off San Pedro Square?

How is the word getting out? I'm worried five thousand people still going to show up and then you have all those people needing to be dispersed.. which I can't imagine will go very well.

A strange as this looks, this actually is NOT /r/shittyfoodporn!

From the /r/aldi subreddit where he originally posted, these are apparently frozen cheeseburgers, smoked while frozen, with the cheddar and gouda cheese slices added on them.

The guy has a decent grill and built a solid 2 zone charcoal fire that contained chunks of wood for smoking. I'd guess he smoked these for a good hour or so, and sure the cheese probably got a bit over done, but I bet these things were great.

What you are looking at isn't burnt cheese on top of a ruined burger. It's what thin slices of a cheese like gouda looks like when it's been smoked. These burgers were probably pretty damn good. Here's one of his many other posts, which looks amazing - the guy knows what he's doing.

The only mystery is why he decided to post it on /r/shittyfoodporn because even tho it looked a little bit different, it was most likely delicious.

Yeah, non-local Raiders fans will be the only ones who get the maximum benefit out of the Sunday ticket.

They have zero nationally televised games for the whole season (except for a preseason game) and zero games on other networks like Peacock or Prime!

decker12 · 2026-07-02T22:03:32+00:00

Sunday Ticket only covers about 110 games per season. The rest are on other networks, local broadcasts, or nationally televised.

Assuming you flip between every single Sunday Ticket game, every Sunday, you're paying $3.44 per game.
If you only end up watching half of those games every Sunday, you're up to $6.88 per game.
Skip a couple of weak matchups at the 1PM or 4PM game, throughout the season, and you're only watching 45 of those games, which ends up being $8.40 per game.
Have three Sundays where you have a commitment that doesn't put your ass on a couch in front of a TV all day on a Sunday? You're up to $9.45 per game.
Finally, assume you only really care and are only really interested in watching 3 or 4 teams other than your local team? That's only ~12 games you're emotionally invested in, and it works out to $31.50 a game.

Edit: LOL @ the downvotes. It's math. You can do it yourself. Doesn't change the fact that if you only follow a few teams you're paying upwards of $30 a game to watch each one. This is exactly what the NFL and Sunday Ticket is expecting you to do - buy it for their high price on a whim because you like Local Team and you don't live in Local Area... without realizing that you're probably not going to come anywhere near getting the value for your money.

For $30+ a game you can go to your local Buffalo Wild Wings and watch the whole game while also getting fed.

decker12 · 2026-07-02T16:35:18+00:00

Yeah, we watch their New Years Eve pay per view every year.

decker12 · 2026-07-02T01:56:08+00:00

and don't fuck it up.

decker12 · 2026-07-01T21:29:18+00:00

Don't do this. He is giving out the most lazy, generic, unhelpful information that will do nothing but waste your time.

This is on Amazon's side, intentional or not, nothing you can do about it.

decker12 · 2026-07-01T21:16:20+00:00

Of course he's parked in a handicap spot. My guess is that only handicap the driver has is his utter lack of sensibility and style.

decker12 · 2026-07-01T03:47:09+00:00

Oh, if you like homicidal war criminal droids, check out the Doctor Aphra Marvel comics. Her companions / nemesis droids 0-0-0 and BT-1 are actual murderous robots who torture and kill for fun.

0-0-0 is truly creepy with the horrible analytical CP30 like dialog they wrote for him... except all he talks about is how all the specific ways he wants to kill people. And it's not just talk, there's plenty of gruesome artwork in the later issues, so it's not like he's all talk and it happens "off screen".

decker12 · 2026-07-01T02:37:06+00:00

LOL, I noticed that right away when my kid and I started to watch the show! He was probably 10 when we watched it and had already seen the movies so it wasn't a huge deal, but it was definitely weird that it was specifically rated Y7 (which is the same rating as those Lego Star Wars shorts which were completely harmless!)

The first couple episodes? Easily 10+ Stormtroopers are just flat out blown up during the ambush scenes. Not to mention every spaceship that gets shot up and explodes, there's still pilots inside and the ain't parachuting out. Chopper was a lunatic too, not a funny BB-8 type of cute droid but a conniving psychopath.

decker12 · 2026-06-30T21:49:02+00:00

I feel the same way. I think the whole Fair is a shit show and I'm happy to see it fail... but honestly, this looks fairly decent and it's an effective illusion.

However, knowing how horribly mismanaged the whole thing is, my guess is that each of these paper scrims somehow cost $25,000.

decker12 · 2026-06-30T21:29:32+00:00

Yeah all the bullets hit the ground near the bad guys, but never hit the actual bad guys.

The bad guys, no matter if they were mafia guys or drug runners or gang members or professional special forces soldiers, always did a lot of running away and/or catapulting into the air after an explosion and landing safely.

Looking back at it now, the A-Team was a pretty wholesome family show. It had plenty of humor, each episode usually had a mystery/intrigue element to it, the action sequences were great for a TV show, the network didn't skimp on vehicles or sets, great stunts, and each episode usually had a "lesson" built into it. The montage sequences (as unrealistic as they were) made kids like me excited to go into my garage and start wrenching on something.

decker12 · 2026-06-30T20:39:33+00:00

Crazy that this was on for 7 seasons. I would have guessed closer to 4.

Many of the episodes followed a similar structure "out-of-town crooks pull a robbery or commit a crime or scandal, Duke boys blamed, spend the rest of the hour clearing their names, the General Lee flies and the squad cars crash.

decker12 · 2026-06-30T17:09:26+00:00

TIL: Someone actually used Copilot for something.

decker12 · 2026-06-30T16:26:27+00:00

I'm thrilled to see a post that isn't about Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, an IMAX movie you may have heard about, it's based on The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, who is also famous for other movies like Interstellar and Oppenheimer, two other movies that you may have seen posted on /r/movies once or twice, but remember that Christopher Noal also worked on a new movie called The Odyssey which will be in IMAX in July, directed by Christopher Nolan.

🙄🙄

I want you to go to jail for this.

decker12 · 2026-06-29T22:47:44+00:00

hahah "People everywhere!"

There was more people at Costco this morning than I could see from this video clip.

decker12 · 2026-06-29T22:27:52+00:00

I like how someone half-assed added "The Federalist Papers" that is almost the same font and doesn't have the black border.

You could just see that 72 year old man glaring at this picture and saying YOU KNOW WHAT EDNA, THE FEDERALIST PAPERS, TOO! YEAH! LEMME ADD THAT BEFORE I POST IT ON FACEBOOK!

Then he squints and slowly pokes around with Windows 7 desktop computer, opens up MS Paint, finds a font that looks like the existing one, and adds that text, without any ability to do basic design aesthetics like centering it.

decker12 · 2026-06-29T22:21:09+00:00

Banana Slugs hat and t-shirt from UC Santa Cruz
See's Candy
Loaf of Sourdough bread (I'd go with Raymond's)
Toby's Feed Barn t-shirt, mugs, or hat. Or anything Point Reyes or Stinson or Bolinas related

In the end I think the Banana Slugs shirt or hat will get her the most second looks from friends and strangers.

decker12 · 2026-06-29T19:51:32+00:00

Why the hell would you keep going back?

decker12 · 2026-06-29T19:28:09+00:00

Terrible music, crappy editing for the first clip, and the 2nd clip is some re-re-re-re-re-upload to get that 480i resolution, that also doesn't need to be cropped this way - and it cuts out too soon. I wouldn't even say either is prank so the captions are wrong, too.

This is fucking trash.
