  1. Bought Battlefield 2042 for $3 off of Steam. 5 minutes into the game and I all I can think is WTF is this shit. Still fun though, but the next Battlefield better be something closer to BF3 or BF4.
  2. Tell that monster I need about tree-fiddy
  3. People who wear over the ear noise canceling earphones when they’re out walking on the street / on a trail. There are people on bikes and some coyotes at the regional park. You’d think they want to hear what’s going on around them.
  4. I think… maybe this?
  5. That was / is my plan if RE prices aren’t too too crazy around where my daughter goes to college. Our house will be paid off before she goes to college so the $2500/mo will go towards a condo. A 2 BR so she can get a roommate to help pay the mortgage.
  6. You can use Google sheets which pulls in real time stock quote. That way you don't have to manually type them in. =GoogleFinance($A12,"price") <-- A12 is the ticker symbol.
  7. I'd prefer mayo over ketchup if it wasn't so fatty. Parmesan cheese is also a good option, but also unhealthy. But then again, you're already eating fries, which isn't healthy in the first place. Yet I crave it fortnightly.
  8. Painters will move furniture around. Forgot I also painted most of the inside of the house along with the renovation, and the HOA made me paint the exterior. We've probably put $200K into this house in the past 10 years.
  9. Might as well add a 7th and name them after this nice family.
  10. Careful what you wish for. MIA might point the camera somewhere else.
  11. ¡Snek! on a MFing plane https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/snake-plane-delays-flight-australia-123398058
  12. I spent part of my childhood in South Africa during the 80s when racism was still an institutional thing. My sister and I attended an otherwise all-white school. Towards the end of the school year, we had substitute teacher was trying to control the classroom, and for whatever reason called me a chinaman. I stared her down, pointed a finger at her face, and told her in a calm voice that she better not ever call me, or anyone else, that ever again. The classroom went quiet. She started crying and left the classroom. Being discriminated against (even when I was amongst "my people" in middle school) sucked. The 2 other memorable moments were when a drunk guy started cussing at me and telling me to "go back where you're from" when I was riding a bus in Germany; and a redneck college kid spat at me my freshman year at Texas.
  13. That belongs in Holy Shit videos. How TF did so many mosquitoes get into the tent? Edit. Yup you belong in the box of shame.
  14. Soft and feels like nothing.
  15. My financial goal for 2025 was to hit $4M in liquid assets. If the market stays static from here until the end of the year, we should be cruising past that number by the early fall. Looking towards the end of 2025: Increase my 401K contribution % to absolutely, positively make sure I reach the $31K. I probably don't need to, but getting there faster never hurts. Stop renovating the damn house. In the past 4 years, we've redone the kitchen, replaced the windows, and renovated the upstairs baths. Everything looks great, but it'll be great to stop writing checks as well. I need to set up auto transfers from savings to my brokerage account so it doesn't just sit there in cash. After our bonuses last month, we have a pile that's being lazy and needs be put to work. The plan is still to keep working until my boy finishes college. With any luck, we should be in the 8-digit range by then.
