| Topic | Genshin Impact General 13: You get a free Beidou, Everyone gets a free Beidou! |
| IdiotMachine 08/07/21 7:28:32 PM #353 | Honestly, this game feels like a chore now. There's like no story anymore. It takes like a solid hour to do all the bullshit they added that you have to do every day (spending resin, doing dailies, doing "special events" which are also not fun, etc.). --- |

| Topic | Do people not realize that banks paid back the "bailout" in 2008? |
| IdiotMachine 08/06/21 9:12:52 PM #1 | $700 billion was given out as part of the "bailout", and the banks all paid it back with almost $4 billion in interest... do people not know this? Do people think it was just free money? --- |
| Topic | US Renters are behind $3,700 in rent, on average. |
| IdiotMachine 08/06/21 6:00:31 PM #13 | pikachupwnage posted... No shit.Well it just seems like people should be able to pay their obligation, regardless of state protections. --- |

| Topic | US Renters are behind $3,700 in rent, on average. |
| IdiotMachine 08/06/21 5:51:40 PM #6 | So states that had more renter protection basically has more people not paying, whereas states that had less, the renters found a way to keep paying. --- |

| Topic | I really want the Steam Deck to be good. |
| IdiotMachine 08/06/21 5:42:50 PM #3 | Bad_Mojo posted... Could flip the other way as well with early version ones. Become an amazing emulator for people like the PSP did. I'm excited, tbh, and I've got mine already ordered. Didn't get the December one, but got Q1Well if it has a fire-sale for like <$100, there will definitely be a niche market, but it'll eventually die since no support. --- |
| Topic | I really want the Steam Deck to be good. |
| IdiotMachine 08/06/21 5:39:38 PM #1 | But with Steam's track record, it'll have some crazy flaw, Steam will drop support on it after a year or so, and there will be a fire-sale on these for like <$100. --- |
| Topic | Why are dems held to a much higher standard than repubs? |
| IdiotMachine 08/03/21 8:51:50 PM #1 | Look at whats happening to Cuomo vs literally any repubs (hell, even Gaetz, whos a pedo). --- |
| Topic | I want to live in an RV when I retire. |
| IdiotMachine 08/02/21 5:59:13 PM #8 | Another_Voice posted... I assume itll be electric by then. Perhaps with self charging via solar or wind. And besides, even if not, fuel prices will still be like what property taxes would be if you kept a house owned; not to mention maintenance time and cost for the house (grass cutting, something goes wrong, etc). --- |
| Topic | I want to live in an RV when I retire. |
| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 8:27:00 PM #5 | Zaltera posted... The managers of some of those places are instructed not to allow in anything that is more than X years old. RV park spots are often also fairly expensive to rent on a monthly basis and even more for the higher-end spots that have nicer electric and other hookups. The gas mileage is horrendous and they are also large enough and enough work to put into a spot that you would want to haul a small car behind it to go into town or wherever else.Why would parking it for an extended period be an issue? Youll just have it driving all the time, except when youre at your destination. This is assuming auto driving RVs become a thing in the next 30 years. --- |

| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 8:13:21 PM #2 | Why would you not agree to share this? Its guaranteed gold or chance at gold --- |
| Topic | I want to live in an RV when I retire. |
| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 8:10:36 PM #3 | Another_Voice posted... A lot of people are doing that lately but the problem is that you're financing a depreciating asset. The land will keep its value but the RV itself won't (like a car), and then you have to either keep it maintained or get a new one from scratchWho the hell cares, when youre retired? That one RV is probably going to outlive you lol. --- |
| Topic | I want to live in an RV when I retire. |
| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 8:08:13 PM #1 | Sell my house, buy an auto-driving RV, and just have it drive me all around the US. What a life would that be! --- |
| Topic | I can't stop watching rekt videos... what's wrong with me? |
| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 5:59:09 PM #1 | They're so gruesome and fucked up, but out of sheer morbid curiosity, I can't stop watching them. I can't handle gore though, so I skip right past those. --- |

| Topic | How did The Rock even become an actor? |
| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 5:10:35 PM #1 | I can't remember how he jumped from being a wrestler to an actor... I think the earliest movie I remember him from (without looking it up) is that god-awful mummy movie. --- |
| Topic | I'm tired of pretending that I care about the willingly unvaccinated people. |
| IdiotMachine 08/01/21 2:51:36 PM #1 | Seriously. I don't care about them. If they die, they die. Screw 'em. Don't help them either in hospitals. --- |

| Topic | lolwtf, people pay to rent their pools? |
| IdiotMachine 07/31/21 7:35:22 PM #8 | divot1338 posted... No they arent. They havent been open in over a year. kingdrake2 posted... might be on an area by area basis. previously closed. they opened for a small time recently but when delta surged they closed down again with rental option only.I'll be honest, I have a pool so I never checked in the past. I just checked, and my local public pools are open. --- |
| Topic | Genshin Impact General 13: You get a free Beidou, Everyone gets a free Beidou! |
| IdiotMachine 07/31/21 7:34:13 PM #112 | I'm very disappointed with my Ayaka. She hits very low, like ~5kish, and takes a long time to actually kill anything. Am I doing something wrong? I sprint to make my auto-attacks become frost, then just spam auto-attack, E, and Q. Like there's nothing special about how to play her, like Childe or Hu Tao, right? I'm at level 90, 6/6/7, and pretty decent artifacts:  --- |
| Topic | lolwtf, people pay to rent their pools? |
| IdiotMachine 07/31/21 7:24:22 PM #4 | Patty_Fleur posted... Public pools have traces of semen and feces in them. Absolutely disgusting.Why do you think a private pool won't? kingdrake2 posted... it's cheaper. pools aren't open in a pandemic.Wait what? Public pools are open right now... And I agree that if you want to rent an entire public pool out, that'll cost more than $50/hr. --- |
| Topic | lolwtf, people pay to rent their pools? |
| IdiotMachine 07/31/21 7:22:53 PM #1 | Saw an ad where you can pay people to rent their swimming pools. I checked out their site, and it's like $50/hr. Do these people not know there are swimming pools you can go to for fraction of that? Like one run by a county, or run by a town? Or.... get a friend who has a swimming pool! --- |

| Topic | Do people actually fall for "rent to own" |
| IdiotMachine 07/29/21 1:19:23 PM #25 | Trill__Cosby posted... You sound dumb. Rent to own homes are the biggest thing going right now. No one is talking about fucking furniture and TVslol I've actually never heard of "rent to own" homes being big, but rather "lease to own" homes. --- |

| IdiotMachine 07/29/21 12:55:34 PM #21 | IdiotMachine posted... Let's go to Rent-a-Center and compare. Here's a sofa for $30/week for 104 weeks:Wait. That's 77 weeks, not months. So that means 1.5 years. Yea, nvm... scratch what I said. It only makes sense if you intend to rent for a few months, maybe like staging for a house. --- |
| Topic | Do people actually fall for "rent to own" |
| IdiotMachine 07/29/21 12:53:37 PM #19 | Let's go to Rent-a-Center and compare. Here's a sofa for $30/week for 104 weeks: https://www.rentacenter.com/en/furniture/living-rooms/sofas-and-sectionals/benchcraft-graftin-teak-3-piece-sectional-91102-3rfc/p/200010389 Here's a similar one; same manufacturer (Ashley-Furniture), same number of seats, same material, similar size for $2,114.99 + ~7% tax =~$2,300: https://www.ashleyfurniture.com/p/ashlor_nuvella_4-piece_sectional_with_chaise/APK-46005-R4.html?cgid=sectional-sofas $2,300 / $30 =~ 77 months = ~6.4 years. We all know furniture has no resale value. But let's be generous and you can sell it for $300, bringing the net cost of that furniture $2000. Given this, if you intend to live in an area temporarily for, say, 3-5 years, it makes sense to just rent it vs. buying it. --- |
| Topic | Any office chair brand recommendations? |
| IdiotMachine 07/29/21 12:35:25 PM #7 | Rida_Go_To_Bed posted... Herman Miller Aeron. I have one for my gaming setup and its worth every penny. Keep an eye out on Craigslist, they pop up frequently when places go out of business. Its not leather like you asked, but I figured it would be worth tossing out there.I'll second the Herman Miller aeron chairs, if you can afford it: https://store.hermanmiller.com/office-chairs-aeron/aeron-chair/2195348.html But unlike what he said, I'd recommend getting a new one and customized to fit your body. Go to a local Herman Miller store and try it out. --- |

| Topic | Is Spider-Man 3 (2007) good? |
| IdiotMachine 07/25/21 8:52:25 PM #13 | lilORANG posted... I thought it sucked when i saw it in theaters. I've enjoyed it more and more upon rewatches tho. Partly bc it looks a lot better compared to the ASM movies and also I think I just appreciated certain scenes more as I got older. Like the subway fight against Sandman is great. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Whats ASM? --- |
| Topic | Is Spider-Man 3 (2007) good? |
| IdiotMachine 07/25/21 8:18:29 PM #1 | Recently rewatched Spider-Man 2 (2004) and didnt realize just how good this movie is. So now thinking about the 3rd one Spider-Man 3: 63% Rotten Tomatoes and 59% Metacritic suggests its actually a decent worthwhile movie. But I remember this movie to be terrible, draggy, convoluted, and cringy Should I give it another watch? --- |

This working detail is considered an honor as the sentries represent themselves, their country, and their president. Why is it even an honor just to stand there and do nothing but open doors for shitty people? They're just glorified doormen. --- |
