Technology Connections over here like: IT'S CALLED A WATER HEATER!

... you know why. --

You can retire at any age you want lol. Most people didn't live in their means nor did they save for retirement starting at 18/22. This was possible 30 years ago. These days? Not so much.

It doesn't mean you can't leverage it way better than most though. Starting a Roth IRA saves more money than even paying off your house loan in half the time. That's saving an extra $70,000 for most. Putting into retirement early triples that lol.

Compound interest via stock/bonds is a bullshit money generating hack made up by rich people to get richer though. The poors literally get their dregs from riding on their coattails then acting like they invested well. Nobody wants to admit that you should be able to retire indefinitely by what amounts to hoarding above a certain dollar threshold though lol.

These may be enjoyable to peruse. Michigan has good maps. Colorado. Just tick Congressional, Sort by state, Final Maps then scroll down and look for graded ones.

Beats?

Almost everything on the internet is just imitation.

Community made canvases sound great for almost any major website to me. I'm down for it.

It's like asking Republicans for their list of democrat sex offenders and getting 7 total. Then being presented by a website with 80 pages full of news articles of Republican NatC groomers then acting like it's a both sides issue lol.

There's a reason why you have to dig so hard for Democrats lmfao. They aren't a party packed to the gills with people like yours lol.

And my blanket!

I see the Russia shills and trolls have finally started to move on from reddit now lol. LarkinDePark, Yogthos. RIP.

That just means it's a 4th dimensional left handed stove.

Any Metroidvania is great. Almost any 2d game is great. Newer intensive 3d games are nice but the battery goes quick.

The only issues I've had with the hardware is the pointer finger placements for the triggers are hard to use both on the same side if you use a game that makes use of both a lot.

I do wish I waited a year for summer sale though. The 20% discount on the antiglare screen would've been cheaper than the mid tier I bought. I game way more outside now though with my toddler son when he plays in the yard. The mirror reflection is killer sometimes.

Yep. The reality of what all of us were taught in US History and Civics classes is very different from the reality and has been since we learned about it.

It's much harder to keep people in line when it's all run on house of cards in good faith lol.

I think that every day until I realize 1/3 of the population would still vote for him without a second thought. It's been far beyond sad and pitiable for years now.

Now it's simply malicious and a direct threat to every single one of our lives. The other 2/3rds need to start treating it as such.

I've been using KBin for a hot minute. The only issues I still get regularly are errors when trying to vote on stuff. It's normally because I need to relogin but my Firefox browser still shows me as logged in due to I think cache issues.

I expect some problems but the community is still growing steadily so I'm staying for the general stuff and will give reddit some traffic here and there for niche shit. I'm still adblocking, using old reddit, and everything else I can to make myself useless I including deleting my content regularly.

Considering the Supreme Court's entire schtick is the arbitrary definition of a word's meaning by the sitting justices... I'd disagree.

They can literally change the definition of a law at a whim. It doesn't really matter at that point what the law even says unless it's lawyered up specifically to remove their powers. Even then, don't expect the conservative justices to go down without a fight lol.

Milk Chocolate White Chocolate Dark Chocolate.

Milk chocolate is the best of chocolates when there are no extra additives on it's own.

Dark Chocolate as much as I hate it, IS better than white chocolate on it's own.

White chocolate without any sort of flavor enhancers is just so damn bland. However, it's just like eating salt on it's own. Gross by itself, but delicious with something else to go with it. White chocolate is a catalyst. Milk Chocolate is a treat. Dark Chocolate goes in the trash. I'll begrudgingly eat it if I have no other better chocolate around lol.

The only people I've ever seen like dark chocolate are people who hate themselves, take scalding hot showers with the heat of a thousand suns, and enjoy starting their day with black coffee. AKA, people who had no self esteem as a teenager until they forced adult habits on themselves before they were ready rather than admitting they like 'childish' stuff. Cultural masculinity is so weird.

For once OP has a truly unpopular opinion and it goes in Memes instead. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not only that but Trump had the ability to really cement himself as one of the greatest economists ever during covid by riding on a Democrat's economy pre-tax cuts... He got ahead of Covid pushing 'HIS' vaccine through... then did a complete fucking 180 killing by pandering to an ever growing, deluded, extremist base.

Instead an extra 319,000 people died when this was published in May, 2022... due to vaccine hesitancy, lies, and Republussian propaganda lol.

It's wild seeing the mental gymnastics they have to go through when Democrats end up agreeing with them on something. Meanwhile Biden has done so much work on one of the most evenly split governments in United States History by working with a whopping 15? sane republicans across the aisle.

Reminds me of the stepson who recently took apart an old MadCatz Gamecube controller. I was telling him it's probably rusted inside so don't expect too much. He opens the actual controller and the insides just disintegrated in front of him lol.

He tried to salvage it for another two hours but that thing ended up right in the garbage can.
