You really think the photo on this year’scard is “bad”? I realize art is subjective but that is…a take for sure.

Yeah, way better to have 40 posts a day about crime and balaclavas.

No! I don't have a dog; they told me I couldn't go in without one. My wife had the same experience twice and gave up.

Go early and make sure you have every document you need.

Definitely. But the meal planning based on sale items is the heart of it, honestly.

You need to start paying attention to the weekly grocery ad and planning your meals for the week based on what’s on sale. When a favorite protein is on sale, buy extra and put some in the freezer.
I think my average for 2 is less than half yours. Primarily Aldi, with Safeway/TJs for the occasional other item.

I have lived near there for years and every time I try to go into the main gate they ask me for a pass. How do you get in?
I would guess I’ve attempted this 5-7 times and never been allowed in, so I gave up.

It really is not.
It’s open if you have a dog and a dog pass, but you can’t just show up and walk through there.
I’ve grown to find that place really annoying, I would love to walk around in there and you can’t.
I got tossed out one day last year when it was snowing hard, and people were all in there walking their dogs and whatnot, so I just strolled in only to be confronted by a security guard.

Reply to comment by MontyAtWork in Anna Faris Joins Dave Bautista in ‘My Spy: The Eternal City’ by Bennett1984
What about him makes you think he’d act like an asshole about Drax?
Everything I’ve ever seen from him in interviews shows him to be grateful to have gotten such an opportunity as a very green actor, and a desire to become a better actor and work with other genres and directors.
I’m not paid, I just like Bautista, man. I think he makes fairly interesting choices vs. his contemporaries (ie, The Rock), and I think he has actual talent.
This movie was just fine, compared to his others (it reminded me of Arnold’s kids comedies). And people like Anna Faris, too! Why is this so hard to believe?

Pretty sure no actor can support themselves entirely in the indie/art house realm. How has he not backed up what he said? He’s chosen to work with a ton of interesting directors and takes interesting roles, why does he exclusively have to do that to earn some made up credit?

Dave Bautista was hilarious in a ton of things in the early 2000s?

Given that both my mother and mother in law saw it separately and learned that fact at the theater box office...probably? I haven't seen it as a big part of the marketing push.

They made less money because they chose to sell all the tickets at a discount. The BO for that film is artificially under-inflated.

I think the success of films like 80 for Brady and The Lost City proves this is a completely wrong line of logic.
Just because the studios have convinced themselves it's true, doesn't mean it is.
People only go see spectacle movies in theaters because there aren't many choices to be made on that front anymore.

But the stuff they’re licensing is still available on HBO Max. So they’re just getting it both ways.

Do you think this conference is having their meeting in deep drug areas? He probably would barely need to leave his adams morgan hotel.

Maybe you should vote for people who value education enough to teach you how to put periods at the end of your sentences, and the difference between your and you’re.

Man, for as tough as all you conservatives pretend to be, you’re a bunch of fucking babies when the chips are down.
Too scared to visit Chicago or Detroit, and proud of it. Truly embarrassing.

It didn’t change people, it provided proof for the long held belief: “I could do this job just as easily at home.”
And for most email jobs, it is true, and the last 3 years bore this out. Now there’s concrete proof it’s true, so the argument is stronger.

Metro Center’s machine in the gate I use for work was gone yesterday, so try an entrance other than 12/G. There’s a bunch on eBay for like $20.
