I didn't have WW3 on my 2024 bingo card.

AEW is a sloppy shop with wrestlers getting injured, a pin occurring but the ref messing up the pin, the wrestler doing another move on the injured wrestler then the ref counting the pin.

Im kind of curious what the numbers are of people who were taking things that are/were inherently risky, versus those taking safe drugs that were laced with something else.

That would be very interesting.

That is an insane number. I am afraid of what this years number will be.

The Supercuts I go to is $27. I have gone there for 14 years and when I started going here the price was $15.

I was never hugely into GT, but I remember one had Oh Yeah by Yello and Turbo Lover by Judas Priest and I was happy with that.

That was 3.

Gran Turismo never had a really good soundtrack IMO.
The menu themes are fine, but I always have the in-race music disabled because I'm not a fan of remixes of 70s funk being followed by lame 2000s mainstream alt-rock being followed by leisurely classical music being followed by 1980s hair metal.

I always loved 2 and 3's the best.

Great game but that soundtrack is just beyond weak.

I went to a small chain here, Super Duper Burgers, figuring if I'm going to pay a lot for fast food it might as well be high quality.

It was, but I wasn't expecting it to be expensive AND small. The burger was puny and I wasn't full after the burger and garlic fries.

Heard the same thing about Big Macs, that they're tiny now.

Sizes have gone down across the board. Carls Jr/Hardees larges are now the size of what mediums used to be.

There isn't a nationwide Fast Food Company that raises prices for everybody. Maybe Starbucks did but that is just one company.

It was the minimum wage increase in California.

Shit's been expensive for years now, even in bumfuck nowhere. Where have you been?

Yeah it has been but there was another increase in price on April 1st.

Sushi is a HUGE no go during pregnancy.

I go to Starbucks once a week and get the same drink and before the 1st it was $6.45 and now it is $6.95. Haven't gone anywhere else to notice a difference.

$5.89 for premium here in Sacramento.

$6.05 now.

There was a total eclipse that ran right through the USA 7 years ago and I don't remember anyone freaking out. WTF changed?

This is what I'm wondering too.

I wonder how they define being able to afford a home. Is it one of those things where you're forbidden from paying more than X% of your income on housing? And what is the lower cutoff of what counts as a house? I've seen plenty of houses for sale in the five digit range, if you're ok with them being tiny, old or having major issues. Does a prefab/modular house count?

Oh hold on, I just noticed you said "home" instead of "house." You really need six figures to buy a single-wide?

Homes = Houses

$5.89 for premium here in Sacramento.

Just sad that in almost half the country people are screwed when it comes to owning a home.

Shame. I'd never heard of them in particular but dollar stores were a fond part of my childhood.

Back in the day here in Sacramento we had 98 Cents Stores and the rumor was you could buy illegal fireworks at the 99 Cents Stores

I believe that's heir first round of big lay offs too.

Hopefully no more on the way.

We just had two earthquakes in California.

Hopefully they are able to bounce back and get better jobs.

This game is so tough! I have been stuck in the prologue for 2 hours.

This is like that screaming at the sky meme but on a larger scale.

Yes, my health was better and everything was much much cheaper.

It's better for everyone to do it.

But only a small insignificant fraction of the state would use it. Ticket prices would have to be $100+ for each ticket.

The federal government should just step in and pay it, and get a small portion of the profits until it is paid off.

It would probably take a thousand years to pay off.

They need to cancel it and put the money into something else. 15 years and not one mile of track built. To think they said it would only cost millions when it was first pitched.

EVs definitely have a lot of problems from what I've read. I'm not anti-EV, I like the idea, I just want the problems addressed:

* No process to recycle and repair battery cells, so a new battery costs as much as the damn car does (apparently used EVs have been going to Ukraine b/c THEY figured out a process for it, so why can't we?).
* Lithium in general has so many fucking problems. From the sources to how toxic and hard to dispose of it is, to how heavy it is. Oh, and the fires require so much fucking water to put out, it's insane. We need better batteries.
* Because of all the weight and (supposedly?) the regenerative breaking, the tires do wear down a lot faster (which their study referenced in the emissions from the degrading tires)
* EV makers seem to have no interest in making an affordable sedan, instead they stuff them full of fucking awful tech no one (well, not I) wants to justify keeping the prices above $30K. You may consider it minor, but using a god damned touch screen to open the glove box is an atrocity.
* Insurance costs (due to many of the above reasons) seem to be very high for EVs, and apparently should be even higher but the rest of us are subsidizing the cost w/ our premiums (mine sure as hell have skyrocketed the last 1-2 years).

Unfortunately most of those won't happen.

NDAs should never be used when crafting legislation.

The first Aunt Viv was my favorite one.

Figured this was going to be about the effects manufacturing the batteries have vs ICE vehicles

It is also about the weight of the vehicles and tire wear.

I would never have guessed that.

Every episode is still so good!! I really missed this show!!

It isn't that he is old and lame. It is "the slap" and all the stuff with Jada.

It is sad to see what has happened to him. I remember watching the show back in the 90s and he was just the epitome of cool. I hope he can regain that awesomeness.

On mobile it is just a busy mess. What do you think of the redesign?

What is Foldgers? i have never heard of that brand before.

No, you explicitly did not given that you did not use the screenshot feature.

Again, don't be a boomer about it. You should be relatively technologically savvy, you post here.

When I play again tonight I will do that.

Screenshot feature exists, don't be a boomer about it.

I took the best picture I can and posted it.

My camera is broken but I am in Corel and the ground is missing textures quite a bit.
