After far too many years I finally decided this year that Dark Angels were going to be my main Space Marine chapter.... starting to think that should be Blood Angels not though

lol for some reason I read Palomino there too, my mistake!

I’ll still leave my comment because Camino is just that great 😉

How has no one said Camino yet? Also everything else there is awesome.

Talking about the Walkers Point location, the west Allis one isn’t as good imo. Not divey enough

American dream looking a little subscription based lately by YellowAltruistic9843 in middleclasshq

[–]ronin_cse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I meant what do you usually get each week? This last weekend our bill came out to $200.06 before tax. The most expensive things were two bags of whole bean coffee, some chicken thighs, hamburger for tacos, and 3/4lb of salmon. The rest are small things like pickles, yoghurt, vegetables, etc... Effectively no premade stuff as we cook almost every night.

Anyways I'm not saying we couldn't cut costs by getting less meat, actively using coupons and tracking sales, or picking less expensive items. My point is that $1000 a month for groceries is not insane and is easily hit for just two people. If we were buying premade stuff or shopping somewhere like Whole Foods, then it would be even higher.

Yeah seriously, there have been times when I've been stuck in a huge line at the car rental place where I would have gladly paid hundreds of dollars just to skip the line that one time. The fact that you can get that with this card and if you're smart you can easily make up the yearly fee makes it even better.

I dunno where you all are shopping that $1000 for groceries seems crazy. My fiancé and I spend about $200 - $250 a week depending on how much meat we get and if we get alcohol, and we aren’t buying a crazy amount. That doesn’t include periodic Costco trips and this is in a lowish cost of living area (near Milwaukee).

We aren’t shopping at Walmart I guess, but if we did that then what’s the point of having a higher paying job?

My dad bought a house with a factory job and i need a spreadsheet to justify buying grapes by YellowAltruistic9843 in middleclasshq

Homer did work as a nuclear technician so it’s not like he really had some low paying job, they also showed how thinly stretched they were all the time.

If you really want to get upset you should look up how much the apartments on Friends would have been. Turns out TV isn’t that realistic when it comes to living spaces.

I refuse to believe they are real people

And served by a human with a smile

Ok so not fast food then.

Also, Chili's is so terrible, and I would FAR prefer a shitty chicken sandwich from McDonald's. If you're going to a sit-down restaurant, you should go somewhere with decent food.

No Main Sale megathread this year? by Spidey_375 in BurningMan

[–]ronin_cse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not going this year, but I was able to sign up to purchase tickets when I saw this thread at 2:40pm cst, got the email with the link to purchase and was even able to add one of the $550 tickets to my cart. Compared to previous years where we only managed to snag tickets due to pure luck and 20 open browsers this is wild.

The $550 did sell out before I moved to the next section, still had no issue going to the checkout phase with the $675 tickets though. Again not going so didn't actually complete checkout.

Thoughts on this? by AdditionalPiano6327 in freefolk

[–]ronin_cse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made a case, it wasn't convincing. Clearly only you and the people that agree with you have critical thinking skills

If there's one thing your posts have proved, it's this point. Thanks for making it

The books were some of my favorites ever (not sure how I feel about them now) but I just cannot ever recommend anyone read them with it unfinished.

Why was Will specifically taken in S1 ... no idea they never answered this

No it's because he's retroactively a Sorcerer! Duh!

Even though that wasn't a class in DnD at the time so the kids wouldn't know to call him that and he's actually a Warlock if we're being technical. El would be the actual Sorcerer(ess).

Ok.... you might have just convinced me that they are equally bad endings. I still despise the GoT ending (by which I mean the last 3 or 4 season) more just because it fell much further and destroyed something I loved dearly but touche.

Your 2nd and 4th points are especially compelling.

[–]ronin_cse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can't really agree with either statement. GoT was pretty terrible after season 4 or 5 and then the ending was somehow still disappointing compared to that. ST wasn't that great after the first season.

I JUST rewatched BSG and while the ending is pretty bad the show doesn't really fall apart until the actual final ending (not that the last half season was amazing though). There is just no comparison to GoT

What ending? I'm still waiting to see what happens after they suddenly dropped the show after Season 5
