  1. I'm not a player.
  2. I bought one share of GameStop, just to say I was part of that craze. Made good money on it too!
  3. Great gramps didn't buy Bitcoin and GameStop.
  4. Is it some crazy proprietary B&O thing? (Wouldn't surprise me.) Otherwise this is a great chance for you to dabble in different cartridges.
  5. This is what you want and need.
  6. 1-2 3-4 5-6 7-8 9-0 Pushbuttons on a glossy black surface.
  7. As long as they aren't stabbing each other, you're ok. Don't beat their ass in public, it isn't socially acceptable any more, our societies are getting soft. Do it at home.
  8. Just like Omega >> Breitling every day of the week, Toyota >> Honda every day of the week, and doubly so on weekdays. Comparing Swatch Group ownership to Partners Group ownership is insane, one is a watch company from day one, with serious watchmaking staff throughout every company under its umbrella, and one is an investment firm that just...bought a hygiene paper product company, sold a cloud software company, bought an energy infrastructure inspection company, sold part of a wind farm, and bought a biogas platform.
  9. I definitely don't need more chopsticks. And pretending they're guns or swords growing up as an Asian only happens once, then you get your ass beat and quickly learn never to do that.
  10. I'm at about 30% restaurants including it when I don't check it, so 130%?
  11. Couple of the food delivery apps have a specific check box to add utensils to order. I appreciate that, since I have no use for disposable utensils and really hate the plastic waste when they include them.
  12. Why don't we own #1 instead.
  13. Minus Color is only in theaters for a week, so move quickly if you want to see it.
  14. That was definitely @Brisketexan
  15. Those are actually zero opportunities.
  16. $babaghanoush
  17. *largely (Too late to edit.)
  18. The MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) is still one of TripAdvisor top rated destinations in the entire US. The auditorium there is the best sounding room I've been in (this is not hyperbole), and they bring in a very diverse lineup of performers in all genres. Go see/hear a performance, it's truly a wonderful space. I donate every year and try to attend whenever I'm in town. The museum portion also curates some very neat exhibits for any music fan, often with some very significant instruments on loan from very famous musicians. It is also great for kids, many areas where you can play, touch, hear the instruments. Can't recommend it enough. Go.
  19. Slowly, after putting on the turn signal at least 300ft in advance and checking for traffic in the crossing lane.
  20. Also be aware that Joule Turbo up there is not actually more powerful, it just uses programming to run the heater slightly more when you first add food, trying to prevent the water temp drop from the cold food. It's large a marketing gimmick. All of the sous vide devices are limited by household wall current to 1500w output max.
  21. Buy the cheapest one you find unless you specifically want smart app functions. They're all roughly the same. I actually avoid the super fancy app ones now and prefer KISS with simple temp setting on the device, plug and go. The other thing is I prefer the stick circulators you place in a pot, vs the enclosure models that are their own container (look like a large rice cooker). The circulators you can swap containers to fit your food and can be used and transported easily. If you get serious, modify one of the flat ice chests to be your insulated bath.
  22. Yes, the reason is spite. Firefighters love when they get to do this and will take a bit of pleasure in fucking up the car just a bit more than absolutely necessary. And the Internet loves it too, so win-win.
  23. This has gotta be a humblebrag. There is so much more space for bottles and shit on that shelf.
