I’ll always advocate for Terraforming Mars or Arkham Horror. There are no other tabletops like them.

The “fire Boeheim” crowd must have a really weird feeling right now, knowing that they had a coach who consistently put a number next to their name for almost 50 years, and likely won’t have that again in their lives.

Dudes a legend. It’s not just what he did. It’s where he did it and how.

The “only one title” folks are a joke and don’t respect how hard it is to win in the tournament.

Bud did you fall asleep between 2003 and 2017??

Can we just admit these pictures get crazier as time goes on, and that the weather is simply broken.

It’s the same mentality as the people who drive massive vehicles because they’ll be safer in an accident.

They don’t think “yeah, I’ll be safe, even though I’ll probably murder anyone driving a Sedan”.

All they care about is their own comfort and being able to see more, and fuck anyone else.

Wow, I thought my energy bills were bad. We have a forced draft heater on natural gas in Burlington. Our bill in December was $127/mo through Vermont Gas. 72ccf. We also had $77 for electric, which runs the fan, but I assume that’s a small fraction of our electrical usage. Our home is a 1120 sq foot half of a duplex.

Damn, I thought wood was a good idea, but that is historically expensive.

2 things I’ve learned since moving here from CNY:

1. Shop around for inspections. No 2 mechanics are alike.

2. 500 dollars in Harbor Freight tools, RockAuto.com, YouTube, and a close attention to detail can save you literally thousands.

It’s a given a shop will fail one of my cars annually for brakes and rotors and quote up 800 dollars in repairs. This is, max, 80 dollars in parts online and a few hours of work.

A different shop failed my Subaru for ball joints and wrote up a 4K dollar quote. Well, guess what? After-market control arms are 100 dollars a piece online. So, with some breaker bars and torque specs, I fixed it myself, and bought some fresh wheel bearings to boot. This literally saved me thousands of dollars, and investing in your own DIY repair skills is priceless.

This may not apply to you currently, but it’ll pay off in the future. Just follow the golden rule: if you repair it, are you comfortable with your family driving in it? If not, learn more and fix it better.

I had M&T bank when I lived in New York. It’s an okay bank, but, as a customer, you feel like just a number to them, and they don’t hesitate to charge and penalize you aggressively for a mistake. Huge bank, I’d suggest something local with people who actually care.

To add, that gizmo on your dashboard? It’s called a blinker. It’s used to alert other drives of your intentions so they can plan accordingly. By not using it, you are telegraphing a different intention, creating confusion and the potential for accidents on the road.

It’s actually a really shitty move to not use it, so just an FYI.

I have accepted that, every year, we will need to do a brake job on one of our 2 cars.

I’ve learned how to repair my own car out of spite. They can fail me for ball joints and brakes all they want, but I’ll be damned if they get a thousand dollars out of me for 80 bucks in parts.
