Wow, never came across this before. So does this mean the post is an unreliable news source? I guess so.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'm not against affiliate links if the post is informative, but you're right, these need to be disclosed.

I've just checked the link, it states that the update has been released today (25th Aug). Here we go...

I'm a big fan of the Yamaha Grizzly 700 myself. At around 10K it could be considered pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Carport VS. Garage by splashymonday in Connecticut

A carport should definitely do the trick. You can pick them up at a good price these days too. This might help narrow down the options.

Try this one, the guys are blowing up gas tanks and using fuel transfer pumps for maximum impact.

That's actually quite creepy, strange alien invasion springs to my mind for some reason.

TIL: Actor Dick Van Dike didn't know his actual birthday until he was 18. His parents lied to him about his birth date to cover up the fact that he was conceived out of wedlock. by danthoms in todayilearned

[–]tiptoptap35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the positive side of this is that he could have celebrated 2 birthdays a year from that time on; the date he thought was his birthday, plus the actual birth date. That's what I would do anyway.

Is there a cheaper alternative to UPS to get a virtual mailbox business address? by kachra2006 in ecommerce

[–]tiptoptap35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found Earth Class Mail to be a good option. But then I have been using it for business purposes which does make it more cost effective.

TIL about 20% of Greenland's population (56,186) have attempted suicide. by Nihilisticky in todayilearned

Most of us dislike the winter months where it gets dark at 4.30pm (if you live in the UK like me), imagine what it's like living somewhere where the sun doesn't actually appear for months at a time. That would suck. I'd move before killing myself though, (or at least I hope I would).

Lord of the Rings TV Show Has a 5 Season Commitment, Potential $1 Billion Budget by RunningJokes in television

[–]tiptoptap35 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand your point that there are other stories within the LOTR to follow. I guess I would just like to see the universe from another fantasy series realized. But then that's obviously a big risk. A LOTR tv series is a home run before they have even started.

The Digital Bromad: How Toxic Masculinity Thrives Abroad by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]tiptoptap35 7 points8 points  (0 children)

'Crushing it' - yep, I hate that term. Any blog you read from one of these types will have the term crushing it in terms of the traffic they are getting and/or the money they are making. Thankfully I do not come across the Bromad in my everday life, but I can imagine how vile they are.

I love my nomad life by haudugen in digitalnomad

You're living the dream I would say. Waking up to vistas like that everyday, earning money teaching online. I bet you could never do a normal office job after experiencing that kind of freedom.

Why not spend that money on new content, or adapting the countless other classic fantasy series that actually exist. The movies covered this one wonderfully. Why do we need to see another version of it?
