ate all the Oreos posted:Naw it was mostly frivolous hobby poo poo, either i'd see a cool bullshit thing on ebay (man wouldn't it be great to have an atomic clock i'm gonna buy that surplus atomic clock!!!) or I'd get it in my head that I'm totally gonna build a project and then buy a tool or some things to build it with and then they arrive and I poke at them a bit and decide that i'm not interested anymore or it's too hard and then put them in the closet forever. I've at least managed to repurpose a bit of the stuff in other more practical things and i'm sure i can eventually find a use for most of it but yeah. I think you would very much enjoy seeing this Apparently Samson also has an instagram now.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:sad story about loser with LOL-obsessed wife I think that the repeated takeaway that we continue to see over and over in these cases is a really simple one: if you don't want anyone to gently caress with your money, manage it yourself. Yes I understand trusts and relationships blah blah blah but it's really just a matter of not allowing this variable into the equation in the first place. At the very least shared accounts should be monitored by both parties. Homie could have caught onto his wife's habits since like, day zero if he was also checking into their shared savings regularly. Granted, their situation is still BWM lite, as the amount that the wife pissed away on other smelly nerds is a pretty trivial sum and I'd say this is a pretty minor form of "spousal deceit".

Barry posted:How come it's not 8BR, pleb? We looked at a house twice the size of the one we bought on something like 3x as much land. It was nice, and the price, for what you got, was great (even considering the caveats I'm about to lay out). However, it was a foreclosure and while the bank was going to do any needed repairs (which weren't extensive, it's not like the previous owner had taken a sledgehammer to the walls), all the appliances had been taken out and we'd have been on the hook for that. In addition, there was an unfinished barn on the property, right up front, so we'd have either had to pay to get it finished or pay to get it taken down. We could have afforded the mortgage, but between the cost of replacing all the appliances, doing something with the barn, furnishing all that space, and the associated utility costs, we decided not to go for it.

More rooms in my home dwelling = more loving surface area for me to keep clean, free of critters, keep presentable and decorated, etc. Extra storage space is stupidly overrated by we Americans to an insane degree (though I am not a fan of them microhomes either!) Do note that I am childless so that is certainly a factor but still, people could toss out 80 percent of their possessions with zero detriment to their (still empty) lives, the last few years I've really enjoyed a less is more approach to my living arrangements (cept for my super gaming PC yo, 60 fps or bust) There's also higher utility costs, etc but I think y'all already touched on that KingSlime fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Apr 24, 2017 |

KingSlime posted:Extra storage space is stupidly overrated by we Americans to an insane degree (though I am not a fan of them microhomes either!) Not just you Americans. My former manager used to tell us about his former boss at the bakery he used to work at, who he referred to as an "absolute loving, dripping oval office", a accurate description based on others who have met him have also said. He bought a $1m property on one of those 100% mortgages they were throwing around like confetti a decade ago, featuring five bedrooms and two garages, after his wife told him to, and is constantly aware that the slightest increase in interest rates will lead to him being foreclosed on. He was also in my local newspaper a while ago, baffled why he couldn't get baking staff, and the ones he got soon quit. (The reason for this being stated above, which was obvious to everyone apart from himself.)

You're doing it wrong, if you buy a big enough place then when it gets gross you just lock the door and move into a different room. With enough rooms you can do this almost indefinitely!

really though from my tiny anecdotal sample, all of my friends use their "extra space" to keep clutter they never ever touch, as a secondary closet for the girlfriend, or a room for the cats literally no one I know that owns a decently-sized house is doing anything good or useful with their extra bedrooms aside from additional loving scenarios and zones i guess

Hmm I guess the idea of a home office is appealing but my home office is literally any computer with internet access! So I couldn't justify bothering with all that since my PC is in my bedroom anyways, but also can't write off any portion of my apt for taxes so I just don't get why my childless friends insist on moving out far away (making their commute hell) into giant homes that are mostly empty (it's been a trend for my social group lately). It's like after a certain age a lot of people feel the need to transition into a house. Most of them are renting too, so it's not like they are getting *house equity* or whatever The cat room was pretty chill I won't lie

therobit posted:Almost certainly of horse. It is a delicacy in Tohoku, Japan.vI only got one chance to try it when I wss there but it was the beginning of my stay there and I was not adventurous enough and thought there would be other chances. A year un when I tried to find some I was told it was seasonal and not on the regular menus, anr after that my wife had a baby and I sort of fogot about it. I deeply regret not eating raw horse when given the chance. yeah i think that was probably just the area/restaurant you went to. being sashimi you'd need a fresh source but it's not like horses themselves are seasonal lol anyway horse meat is really, really delicious and everyone should try it.

I lived in the middle of nowhere, so probably in a big city it could have been different.

i can also attest to the fact that horse sushi in japan was the most tender, mouth-watering, best sushi i've ever had. it was at an all you can eat + all you can drink restaurant, so the pieces were just in the middle of a huge plate of sushi and they were super bright red. i thought it was just tuna, ate it, and the girls at the table giggled and told my japanese speaking friend it was horse.

He is right about seasonal availability of some foods. Japan just does that with a lot more stuff. Really though go to France and a decent restaurant isn't serving onion soup in August so probably America is the strange one.
