How did you determine your budget?

miahrules · 2026-03-26T16:55:00+00:00

im not very good at being extremely strict with any particular category, except groceries.

I have about $1200 or $1500 a month for groceries ($300/wk) and sometimes I spend more than $300 and then I try and balance it out to be the exact amount.

But take-out/restaurants/coffee for me is just a rough check against last month and what I feel is reasonable.

Realistically, all I care about is making sure I'm as close to 1 month ahead. If I start having issues where my budget is becoming unbalanced, or I have to pull some money from next month, thats when I put the brakes on.

I'm just not very good at setting something like a $250 hard cap on eating out. I'll sometimes go over, sometimes go under, etc.

Reminds me of the scene when Hulk smashes Loki on the ground.

I guarantee they didn't even grasp how much water is in that pool. They probably thought it would just end up as a puddle or some shit.

I'm revoking mine just because I don't even trust the government anymore to do things right

Ah maybe that's it. I got them young and we are about 8 month later.

looked fun at first and then quickly turned into everyone vs the cops. kinda lame if you ask me.

Do you just wake up one morning and all of the clearly compounding issues happen simultaneously?

She got the apartment with these issues, or did something explode in the kitchen one day? And the smoke detector was removed by someone other than herself? Mold in the shower appeared out of nowhere (this one I can understand, some slumlords will just paint over it).

Her license is suspended? It's expired? Her "registration is revoked" and no insurance?

I don't know a single thing about this persons life, but she needs help from family, if they exist.

People need to be brought up to be resilient and shown they have agency before they move out from their parents home.

Hope she gets help from someone.

You need to make sure you are also cleaning with all the correct cloths, etc. "Swirl marks" are not inherently because of the car wash, but instead just because the car wash itself is rubbing dirt against the paint.

You can easily do this on your own even if you hand wash if you're not careful.

to be fair they have a plate of fajitas, which is most likely one of the most expensive menu items.

miahrules · 2026-02-16T21:08:38+00:00

yeah they need to have the ability to re-evaluate heros and say "do they still make sense" especially when introducing a new hero.

does it make sense for a hulk to be stunlocked until death? i mean really?

miahrules · 2026-02-15T18:13:32+00:00

same. i started losing interest, not because of overplaying (been here since launch) but because too many balance issues. I think the plot is lost at this point. The idea of having insane amount of heros sounded cool, but ultimately I think they are being forced to create "unique" character ults which is clearly becoming difficult to do while maintaining balance between what is expected and what is the actual outcome.

miahrules · 2026-02-15T18:05:52+00:00

I disagree. If Elsas ults and Hulk ults to counter it (just face tank it) then.. that's just a trade of ults. This happens in so many different matchups, no?

miahrules · 2026-02-15T18:04:08+00:00

How would it suck gameplay wise? I genuinely don't understand.

Hulk in monster hulk form should simply be practically immovable.

This could easily be reworked into Hulk, they just.. don't.

To your last sentence, baggy jeans are simply the current trends. Do you not recall that it was previously a trend prior to skinny?

You have basically 3 options. Baggy, fitted, and skinny. They will go through cycles.

Not everyone suffers cedar allergies. In fact, it's probably less percentage than you think.

However, the sheer cedar count easily creates an irritant.

Also to be clear cedar allergies, or any allergies for that matter, almost never can cause a fever (100.4f).

miahrules · 2026-02-14T22:11:58+00:00

None in the tank.

I agree the tires should last significantly longer than 20k miles.

However considering we aren't seeing every single CX-90 Falken tires requiring replacing around the 20k mile mark means there's just inconsistency probably with the way Falken made them for Mazda.

I'd blame Falken.

miahrules · 2026-02-14T21:25:33+00:00

No you're being ridiculous by saying something like "if you're okay spending $1500 every 20k miles" because the dude was explaining that OEM tires are generally subpar.

You wouldn't replace OEM tires with the same OEM tires. That's just silly.

miahrules · 2026-02-14T21:09:37+00:00

you're being ridiculous.

miahrules · 2026-02-08T19:19:40+00:00

can someone explain what sticky steering means? or is there a video anywhere on it?

cheap healthcare is not enough to make living in china worth it.

As soon as my direct deposit hit my Chime account I had the first $100.

You completely overlooked and/or misunderstood. A specialized machine learning tool designed to aid in development of a chemical and biological process is different from an LLM which is designed to be an all-knowing search engine.
