    real talk though: there should be a place in our world for "employed but we're assuming this is just play money because it's a bunch of 16 year olds still on their parents' dime." 

     

    not everything has to be a living wage.  maybe some "please violate the ADEA here" rule.  if you're still on the dole, you get $7.25.  If you're an adult and this is the only job around, you get $20.  this will lead to massive age discrimination, but whatevs. a 16 year old making $20 doesn't help.

    This is stupid.  Don't be so stupid.

    Fair enough. The one thing that sticks out to me is Chanel and Hugo Boss being Nazis. For my part I won’t ever give them any money and wince when I see people— especially gays, blacks and Jews— wearing Hugo Boss.

    Also I don’t like to take any Bayer-backed medicine. 

    Hugo Boss died over 75 years ago.  I'm pretty sure he's not benefitting from people buying the clothes that bear his name.

    I'm legitimately curious what write-in candidate he thinks meets every one of his beliefs. There will almost never be a candidate that perfectly aligns with one's beliefs. You still vote for the one the better fits, or even if you hate both, the one that isn't under 91 criminal indictments, who has been determined by a jury to have committed rape, and who is less likely to launch an insurrection and attempt to declare himself a dictator.   

    Putin.

    Presidents since FDR.

    Truman - finished off the Axis.

    Eisenhower - 

    JFK - Moonshot

    LBJ - Civil Rights bonanza

    Nixon - 

    Ford

    Carter

    Reagan - Showed commies we had infinite budget

    Bush - End cold war without chaos

    Clinton - Prosperity computer boom

    GWB

    Obama - Obamacare, DACA

    Trump.

    My guess is if Biden is done, he will be remembered about like Ford.  Just a dude that was there for a few years.

    I'm not sure if you're a troll or just highly uninformed.

    What’s the easiest/cheapest path to Total Wine Grand Reserve status?

    I’ve heard about ways to game the system. Buy a case of Spirits Direct wine on a certain day and get 10x points or something. 

    Generally, you're correct.  About once every month or two you'll have the option to buy Spirits Direct wine for 10x points.  You can do it on any day as long as you activate the deal on your account.  I don't drink a lot of wine, but I do give it away as gifts.  So I spend $250 (or less depending on my current point total) during a 10x deal and I have Grand Reserve and most of my gifts for the year taken care of.

    Your daughter needs to lay off the pipe.

    I don't think people are able to grasp just how unreal a number having a billion dollars actually is.

    Say you live at Texas Capitol and have a zero net worth. For every million dollars, your location moves one mile away. Make a million and you're at west 6th street. Make $2.5 million and you're now in Tarrytown.

    If you're worth just over $1 billion?

    You're in San Diego.

     

     

    If I had a billion dollars, I'd definitely live in San Diego instead of Austin.

    The fact that’s a prize winning bottle just solidifies emoji867.pngTotal Wine.

    I'm not going to complain.  I can't even find a bottle of KC12 on the shelf anymore and I'm pretty sure the days of higher age statement single barrels are over.    

  10. I had it junior year of college thought my case wasn't particularly bad.  I think it was a two-week recovery with the worst of it being the mouth/throat sores that made it incredibly painful to eat.  The doctor prescribed some mouthwash stuff that helped to numb everything, so I'd recommend you try something like that if she's having trouble eating.  Otherwise, just rest as much as possible.
