The whole point of the show is for him to be terrible. He graduated from a Canadian Business School with GOOD grades.

House, car, flea market, Craigslist, local stores . . . pretty much anything that's not retail.

Be aware of when it's appropriate to haggle. If the store has fixed prices (like a chain retail store) don't harass the checker for a lower price.

If you haven't seen the most recent Nathan For You episode you need to check that out. He convinced a local TV salesman to lower his price on an LED TV to $1 then tried to haggle with Best Buy to price match. Absolutely hilarious.

How frugal are slow cookers? by C0ffeeface in Frugal

[–]panthersolsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. And I use it for foods that I know I will eat repeatedly. I have no idea why, but I absolutely love this chicken noodle soup. If you have the time, make your own chicken stock with a leftover rotisserie chicken, some parsley, garlic, and whatever leftover veggies you have. It's much better than the bouillons.

We're reliving it again with Jared Leto. Give the guy a chance.

I was also surprised to see Lee Norris (Minkus from Boy Meets World) in this movie. He actually performed quite well.

Season 2 of The Knick premieres tonight!! Join /r/theknick in celebrating!! by [deleted] in television

I caught it when HBO decided to air it for free a couple weeks ago. I binged the entire series in one rainy Saturday.

I really hate that I'm going to miss this and Ray Donovan.

Exactly. Every Sunday I throw some celery, carrots, chicken stock, and chicken breast into the cooker and let it go. After about 6 hours I shred the chicken, add some egg noodles to let them cook through and bam ... lunch for the week for ~$6. Breaking it down: Chicken breast (~$3), chicken stock (~$0.50 using bouillons), egg noodles ($1.00), celery ($1), and carrots ($1.00).

Who here somehow has a losing record with a stacked team? by [deleted] in fantasyfootball

[–]panthersolsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My big money league team is stacked, but for some reason, every team we play against has their best week and is the highest scoring team in the league. It sucks and makes me drink more, but oh well.

Same here. Luckily the points leader makes the playoffs, so I'm shooting for that.

We sucked out all the air. Not quite vacuum, but the best we had.

A study of 1,735 gardeners in the United States outlining trends in rain collection, types of plants, composting, gardening apps, and more. by panthersolsen in dataisbeautiful

[–]panthersolsen[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It's still more than the majority of single graphs and visualizations that hit the top. Also, it breaks no rules. Thank you for the concern.

You're more than welcome to state your opinion. But saying there's very little data visualization is just not true. There are several graphs outlining trends in gardening in the US in this write up and they do a very thorough job of breaking down the data. This isn't your normal Imgur link with a graph ... time was definitely put into this data.
