Or if they have seen the move Cocktail

My wife and I both met at the tail end of college in our early 20s, we knew pretty quickly what we had but we didn’t rush things other than moving in with each other after the first year. We didn’t get married for another 10 years.

I almost feel like weddings early on can put huge stress on a marriage. Even if you have somebody paying for it all it creates a lot of crap to deal with and you can get forced to meet and deal with a huge amount of new family members all at once instead of slowly integrating into those things over time. We had to pay for our wedding ourselves so had zero rush and invited only who we really wanted to be there, and while it was a blast it was still stressful. But holy shit that limo ride back to the hotel room when it was all over is a top 5 moment in both our lives.

Home self hosted stuff is definitely the only time I usually get to have fun with this stuff. Work can sometimes involve fun problem solving but by the time you cut through all the red tape to get it anywhere the thrill is gone.

Modular synthesizer. Modulating the white noise generator with a slow LFO to create a nice ocean wave background kinda sound.

Those were truly wonderful times. I remember even around 2000 campus network security was minimal to non-existent and we were all just going wild and I learned so much.

I’m in the process of buying right now, and my mortgage is similar to my high rent and the overall cost of ownership is higher, but it’ll be worth it just to get off of the uncertainty of ever increasing rent. At this point it feels like now or never with how batshit insane the housing market has become.

GT2 is ancient but the fact that I can play it on my Retroid Pocket anywhere and enjoy a stupid variety of cars, customization, tuning and racing fun has me always going back to it.

Of all the Forza games, FM4 is pretty great and I haven’t liked any of the newer ones. I need to get my 360 back from my friend I loaned it to during Covid specifically to just play that one game. That was peak for that series I think but I haven’t played FM2.

I went to school with a girl who never wore the same outfit ever until like her junior or senior year when she got in trouble for something and got cut off. The word was she said something like “What am I going to do!?!?”

That’s far more fucked to and sick than just having kids wear a uniform. Granted most kids aren’t rich enough to have that situation even happen but still.

No but I sure have dealt with a lot a stupid decisions for years because somebody thought it would and used that as an excuse to be wildly insecure to save time.

My apartment complex has a battery recycling center at least. Best Buy near me had a bunch of bins for various electronics so at least some areas in the US have convenient places for it.

Now do they actually recycle them vs toss them in the dump? No clue lol

We stand with you, @SuckMyWang

1966 Fender Princeton guitar amplifier. Me likey

That’s amazing. And if the actual contents are even partially still in them some of those are worth something.

No

The child’s parents kill each other trying to assemble it and then child grows up to be a serial killer.

And at least since Win 10 the updates take maybe 5 minutes unless you have held them off for months.

I posted a quote from Ghostbusters lol.

But yes it isn’t too hard to game the system and get rewarded for minimal work. I had to put a shit ton of hard work in to get to that point but if I felt like it I could do minimal most days.

They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results.

5.50 for a double cheeseburger! I swear that was a dollar menu item here but that long ago.

My $200 bluetooth earbuds are adequate at best but in no way compare to my Sony wired studio monitors that cost half the price. I paid for wireless for work calls hands free.

They wireless is nice for a quick walk to the grocery store or something outside, but if I am wanting to really listen to music I plug in.
