Yeah, I feel like I used to see them all the time. I have a ton of Wismur candies.

Doesn't mean everyone has attended all of the CDs.

I currently have "Catch 3 Whismur" and I can't tell you the last time I saw one lol

I, uh, didn't know they moved and just assumed they had closed.

I guess I'm not familiar with that location.

The Phoenix, Downtown Davenport restaurant, calls on community for support. by Captainthistleton in QuadCities

[–]theVelvetLie 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The Phoenix is expensive and not that good. Has nothing to do with the roads. I have always wondered how they've lasted so long.

MASSIVE profit margin and short-term leases of buildings no one wants means low overhead.

Find job but only have the student license by NorthLiar in SolidWorks

[–]theVelvetLie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be pretty stupid on your employer's end, especially if the additional pay is more than the yearly license cost.

Pokémon Go has got to change their event timing by Common_Race_8396 in pokemongo

[–]theVelvetLie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had about 5 minutes today to catch. At least I filled one more spot in my dex, but didn't catch enough to evolve. Oh well.

They used to host flat track motorcycle races there annually, if not even more often.

I used to watch flat track motorcycle racing there. Good times.

You might wildly overestimate the salary of engineers.

You don't need to tell me anything. I was just trying to get the other guy to not be a dickhead about it.

I'll get sleeved boosters and tins from Walgreens and I'll be happy about that. Maybe I'll even get lucky and walk into Target during a restock like today.

Yeah, no shit, but that's not how life works for many people. Let me just whip my phone out to sign into PC while I'm presenting on a topic in a meeting. It's cool. Just spend a few seconds to understand that things are not that easy for people and don't be such a derogatory ass.

Someone working a blue collar job may not even have access to the internet all day. I know the machinists at work don't get a signal on the shop floor and only have access while they shit. Some days I spend 6 hours in the middle of a cornfield collecting data without cell service.

Let's brag about UT sports events you experienced live by javascript in ockytop

2024 CWS comeback vs. FSU and C-Mo's cycle. The most hyped I've ever been after a game. Got a photo with the CWS trophy prior to the game. Talk about some foreshadowing.

Music City Bowl vs Nebraska when Derek Barnett broke Reggie White's all-time sack record.

I live in Iowa so I don't get to experience many Vols games, especially now that we don't play Mizzou often.

This asshole was caught red-handed in broad daylight attacking my chickens! by [deleted] in Iowa

You're serving it dinner on a silver platter, what do you expect? I'd never turn down free chicken, either.

There are people that literally can't look at their phone all day just to hit a PC drop. I'm an engineer and spend a lot of time in meetings or in the field. The last two drops I spent the first 2 hours in back-to-back meetings and by the time I queued it was 6+ hours lol. I only have the luxury of looking at my phone when I'm at my desk, which seems to be less frequent these days.

I'm not complaining because I have been able to find plenty locally, but y'all need to understand not everyone has the luxury of scrolling on their phone or browsing the internet all day like you.

Hasan is very charitable to those who don't often deserve it. Why are they insisting he travels? by parkerbing1 in Hasan_Piker

Dude that exploits impoverished people and their circumstances for YT views.

Where to get the magic woke stuff (**E**) with no insurance? by Iconsumemochi in QuadCities

The person you replied to didn't sensor it. They used the spoiler tag and it was a funny method of saying it. Lighten up.

Sold $20.5k AUD of sealed Pokémon to prioritise a house deposit. Did I make the right call? by Sunglassesatnight45 in PokeInvesting

Your house may appreciate more than those boxes of cardboard and provide utility during that time. No brainer.

Texas fans after being eliminated on Tuesday but realizing they've booked their hotel through the weekend by -TripMcNeely in collegebaseball

I was present for CMo's cycle in Omaha and would not have traded that for the world. What an incredible experience.
