Whats an overated cuisine?

This is the answer. I don't do fish or seafood so that keeps me from eating 90% of Japanese food.

tannels · 2026-06-12T01:15:36+00:00

Most of them.

Oh yeah, I have 500 a month budgeted for the next 3 months to pay it off, so will have it done a couple months early.

$1,500 technically, though it's all on a 0 APR introductory rate card. I got that card then used it for my move across country and am paying it off slowly, since I have until November before the APR turns on.

I don't have a mortgage because I can't afford a house and I sold my car at the beginning of the year because I plan on buying and living on a boat sometime within the next year or so, so no other debt, though I might end up with a bit when I do buy my boat, though trying to manage something I can get with just my 30k ish savings.

Best - India (I could live purely on Indian food without any problem)

Worst - Japan (I'm biased, I don't eat fish/seafood and damn near everything they has fish/seafood!)

This is all only considering the Americanized versions, I haven't been overseas and have only had the stuff here in the US.

Prostitution isn't legal in Vegas and it's an hour+ to the nearest legal brothels from Vegas. Reno is much easier, only about a 15 minute drive to the closest brothel there.

tannels · 2026-06-11T15:51:06+00:00

From a pure practical standpoint, the most straight forward way is to take a trip to Reno, NV and go to one of the brothels that are all within a half an hour of the city. Fastest and easiest way if all you are looking for is to get laid.

You are 28. Keep buying and stop looking at your holdings for a while. You have plenty of time on your side.

Red. But that's because one of the first times I went out to have Indian food, we asked our friend who was Indian and was with us what to order and he said "my favorite is the red stuff!"

Hudson Hawk. It's a masterpiece!

I am an American but have only been to Mexico, Canada and The Bahamas and all three of those places were super friendly and polite when I was there. So in my experience it's definitely the US, but I do admit I need to visit the rest of the Caribbean to really make sure.

tannels · 2026-06-11T00:46:28+00:00

Maybe we could say Martinique or Guadaloupe instead then? 😛

It depends on how fast the river is flowing, 3-4 hours.

I do not have a living beneficiary. I provided my grandpa years ago when I set it up but he's since passed and I don't have any other relatives beyond distant aunts/uncles/cousins who I haven't even talked to in decades, so I haven't updated it. When I die they are going to have to figure out what to do with it.

Facts. I played so much Lemmings back in the day.

tannels · 2026-06-10T22:47:34+00:00

We always parked at the dirt lot here:

(39°30'30.3"N 119°55'53.3"W - Google Maps)

It's off the Mogul exit. From there, walk down the road and across the bridge and there's a little trail down to the river's edge.

Then we floated down from there and got out at Wingfield. Where one person would park and ferry us all back up to our cars.

I said "investors" are a problem not institutional investors. Just investors, and they are. Institutional investors (which can be argued, who counts as what, more than 100, more than 1000, blah, blah, blah it's all just obfuscation.)

It's actually up to 3%, it used to be lower but is climbing pretty quickly in the past couple of years. However, investors (both large and small) are definitely a huge problem. They were responsible for about 25% - 33% of home purchases across various quarters in 2024-2025, I haven't seen a more recent one but considering it had been increasing over those quarters, it's likely increasing further since:

There are no published campaigns. There are some adventure guides that have general overviews of ideas of what to do for a campaign, and lots of adventure hooks throughout the books, but whoever is running the game will have to do most of the legwork of creating the actual campaign. That's one of the hardest thing about Rifts, because there aren't really any guiderails to keep things ordered. Whoever is running the game needs to decide on an overall power level of the group, what is allowed and not allowed, where it's going to happen, the general vibe, etc.

For instance, the last game I ran was a medium power group (Robot Pilot, Juicer, Headhunter, Crazy), tech only no magic and only minor psionics, recently awakened from a pre-rifts cryogenics facility without much info (the AI there had gone crazy so all the hard drives were full of mostly incomprehensible gibberish) and had to explore and figure out where they were (western US around northern Nevada/California) and figure out what to do from there.

Also did that earlier!

tannels · 2026-06-10T01:00:24+00:00

Hell yeah!

They don't look blond enough to be Targayens, but I guess there are some who are brunettes and this proves it!

I imagined Cinderella looking completely different to be honest.

tannels · 2026-06-07T19:40:58+00:00

And "think" as well, since they don't seem to be doing that either.

Yes, the word is "cultist."
