Thing is, Epic is SO BAD that I’d rather pay full price elsewhere than get it free through Epic. Sure, they’ve hosted a lot of great games in their giveaways. But to take advantage, I’d have to use Epic. Ugh.

You might want to recheck your math.

.2 cents is $0.002

40000 * .002 = $80

that doesn’t mean we hand drivers licenses to incompetent or irresponsible people.

Judging by the way people drive in my city, that’s exactly what it means :(

Clipper chip all over again

Finished Crossbows, an excellent tome on the history and construction of crossbows (and as a bonus, siege engines). A friend suggested it during a conversation about D&D.

Also Witch King by Martha Wells. Fantasy. Very different from the Murderbot diaries. Very good.

I sink, therefore I…

Am not a boat.

How much jelly do you heap on there?! I always figure a thin layer is plenty.

TBF I mostly eat PBJ toast, so the gobs of jam effect isn’t something I have to worry about

I make PBJ toast for breakfast a lot. Spread peanut butter first, then jelly, eat slices separately.

On “running late” days, I used to make it into a toast sandwich & eat in the car (WFH now). I’d still spread the toppings on both slices out of habit, I think.

Never drink and derive.

Do you want more allies? Chasing away reluctant ones seems counterproductive to me TBH.

You know, I had one simple request

Glam doll! I haven’t been there in ages. I should pop over there this weekend.

I think I know the pizza shop you mentioned. I don’t remember its name, but it’s a little hole-in-the-wall place near the MIA.

The prevalence of loans makes me question that standard. Lots of people have big mortgages and big car payments, but then it all comes crashing down with one layoff.

To me, the line is more like, enough saved to never need to work again. Even that comes with levels, though.

Keep the same housing?

Move to rural Mississippi?

Be able to upgrade to the nicest house in your city?

You can have the savings to “retire” to the sticks without being anywhere near “rich” IMO. Unless - did all middle class kids in the late 1900s qualify as rich?

Seward neighborhood? I used to work at Franklin & 22nd - near the Pizza Luce. That was before you lived here, though.

Now I live near Minnehaha Falls.

Same. I don’t use GPS to figure out how to get to my buddy’s house for game night, I use GPS to figure out which way traffic fucks me over the least amount today.

Yeah, probably. It’s a little tempting to say that if you can’t afford a yacht, you’re not actually rich. That might be too rigid as a divider, IDK.

Wait. Kitkat is Nestle?!

Nooooo!

🎵 I’m a Java girl in a Java world…

Sadly, JavaScript breaks the cadence :(

I might have problems there when I do get to retirement. Normal budgeting is one thing, but health insurance throws all my numbers out the window!

Did you live in Minneapolis or a suburb?

Winter of 2013-2014 was pretty brutal. I’m not sure about 16-17 though.
