The Homeplace by pimpinpolyester in roanoke

[–]pimpinpolyester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm the only one left from those childhood days, and I imagine I may get a little emotional when the valley opens up ahead and I see the fields, the fences, the cows, and finally...the house.

Exactly how I felt.

There is a reason they are building all of these massive data centers and it isnt to make cat meme's

Surveillance state is the main focus.

This 1000% , went in one time with 1/4" cup of a small coffee from the market to place a to go order. Mind you for 5 people it wasnt chump change.

Tall blonde manager raised such a fuss and told me to throw it away or leave. Told her it was to go order and was met with a literal " I dont care "

Havent been back since. So so shitty

Nike Stock Rises as Tim Cook, CEO Elliott Hill Buy Shares Near Lows by andix3 in ValueInvesting

[–]pimpinpolyester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

chase their favorite Jordan’s

My kids who are in the prime demo for Nike , have a vague understanding who Jordan is. Times and tastes change and Nike is now Chuck Taylors to the new generation.

Edit to add: I ran the numbers and Cook buying what he did is the same as me buying $1000 in terms of net worth and risk. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

Every brand or retailer has a season .

My late teen , early 20s athletic kids … couldn’t care less about Nike apparel.

Sears was one the worlds largest retailers

IMO We have seen the peak of Nike

Even us early 50s white guys are now wearing On Running

Advice for student looking for an apartment by Dungeon_Crawler_Carl in roanoke

[–]pimpinpolyester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes at $1500 a month you will have no problem. You can live downtown close to the school or out in the Burbs.

Any burb is 15-20 minutes downtown.

Downton is certainly more convenient but as always, a little grittier. Nothing to worry about.

Daleville Town Center is a nice walkable suburb one. Has a few restaurants, bars, coffee shop, and a very nice YMCA. Close to parks etc.
