  1. solid gen x, my friend. born in the mid 70s. my corporate oppressors have drilled that phrase in to my mind.
  2. the voice mail scene in Swingers. so awkward, cringe-y and uncomfortable i usually just have to leave the room screaming at the char to just fucking STAHP!
  3. username checks out
  4. i think there are fake posts about dogs missing to drive traffic. no effing way this many dogs are missing. if i end up dead for exposing this, you know why.
  5. there is a lot of truth to that. i will wolf down food that I like way too fast. will never wait on a "Hey bud, I am full, you can stop inhaling this stuff" from the stomach. I listen to the dopamine/serotonin spike in my brain that says "MOAR!!"
  6. well, did not get any stud racers out of breeding this round. kept 2 so-so horses, sold a so-so horse and sold 2 stellar 40+ odds glues. That plus stud fees came out to ~.65 ETH so finally starting to grind out some ROI on this. Anyone breed the next steph curry? how did yall do with getting good racers?
  7. our house is few years short of a century old. we pretty much AC the neighborhood all summer. there was a factory rebate or Oncor rebate or something on that model that made it somewhat worthwhile vs the next lower down version. At least that's what played out in my head while hurriedly signing a contract because no AC with July approaching would suck donkey balls.
  8. That's good and looks like whatever formula they used worked to get horses to people that did not have any. Technically everyone had a chance, so a small amount going to those stables seems legit.
  9. i had a quote for whatever passes as freon these days and it was $178/lb. This was on a 20yo system so we just got new one; 3 ton 20 seer lennox
  10. here is the first data on stud fees i have seen Those are the floor prices, but if i had to guess, the floor was probably at least 50% of all listings. I think the million dollar drop was solely based on how many horses you had in the stable at the time of the drop AND if you tried to participate in the botched ECHO drop. Zero horses in stable had the best odds and it got worse the more you had. Since it's ZED, there will be a stable with 100 horses and 10 Naks that somehow got a dozen of the free horses.
  11. yeah, i checked my address and did not, in fact, win a horse. i think i had 6 horses in the stable at the time. I still have never gotten a horse through the drop. probably never will lol
  12. but did you know that Miss Minutes is also the voice of Twilight Sparkle (and tons of other animated stuff) from My little pony cartoon?
  13. that's awesome! I have 2 foals so far, but best i had was 14 odds in G-race on one of them. if the mare glitch was still working I would def snag a cover. Saving my last 2 Buterin nags to breed with my Finney if he ever gets out of his stuck race.
  14. it looks like a lot of the races are stuck. a stud i want to breed has been in a race since 8am that just sits there in the events page. all the $2.50 raced I want to get into are stuck on the Class IV page in the same way.
  15. oh one more thing I saw on twitter. If you are buying a philly, I would not do it by putting in an offer lower than the asking price right now. Scumbags could see your offer, then breed a foal, then hit the sell button meaning you would have to wait a month before breeding again.
  16. damn, was only able to get 4 covers on my stud (including one of my own) before they pulled it from the listing. better than 3 i guess. Maybe I priced it way too low at .2ETH, but it worked out to net me .33 ETH in the wallet for the 3 breeds, plus got a Z6 Legendary Szabo foal for .13. I might mess around see if i can get some foals out of my mare. Seems like the precedent for ZED fuckups is that they never go back and try to take horses away or anything like that when ETH has been paid
  17. yeah, trying to get a race is tough right now. it might be time get some more servers or something. it feels like they are running this on home PC and forgot to turn off the SETI search. my other horse, Oz and Lbs is still in limbo waiting to get into the stud farm after 2 hours this morning. Oh well, gonna race him a few times.
  18. give it 5-10 mins on seeing a foal. I never even got a successful message, but then saw my money was gone. Then later the foal was in my stable.
  19. there seems to be no limit on filly set yet. I bred mine and it looks like i could breed again. just ran out of money in my wallet.
  20. finally! delivered something earlier than expected. hopefully not a s-show. if anyone is interested i am putting my unraced Z3 Szabo, Giant Stakes https://zed.run/racehorse/1103, in the stud farm at .2ETH. Right now that's the cheapest Z3 out there. Still waiting for the horse to actually appear on the list. just listed it ~5min ago. not sure how long that is going to take.
  21. This. get a lefthanded putter and practice. Then put left-handed in situations where you would yip before. sooner or later your brain will stop choking at those distances.
  22. sweet! someone posts the fastest times at each distance each day on twitter. should see if you made it. maybe it won't last but in first right now.
  23. There exists a wage that would bring in the needed help for all these places. right now, paying that amount would piss off their current employees or take bite out of profits if they had to raise everyone's wage. Then the genie is out of the bottle and the only way to lower wages later is to fire everyone and then hire new people. They are betting on being able to get by with fewer people while the labor pool fills in throughout the rest of the year and they can hire cheaper labor more in line with what they were paying. Plus they get the benefit of crying about it and forcing State gov to cancel benefits for their citizens.
  24. down to the final race sitting with Energy Rush in a tie for 8th place. I have already raced and gotten the max 5 points so should move up with a total of 27 for 9 races. not sure if it's enough to get one of the top 3 spots. Need those above me to whiff on placing 4th - 8th. I'll at least get my entry fee back. These will be awesome when players can have more control over tourneys and stuff like that. anyway, was good to race this donkey with a purpose for once.
