Booze is so loving cheap in Indiana, you guys have no idea. I can get a gallon of premium rum for under $20 almost anywhere these days. And if you're okay with lovely rum like Calico Jack it can be had for like $11. ELEVEN loving dollars for a GALLON of rum. Vodka tends to run even cheaper. I got two pints of election themed whiskey for $4 each a while back as well.

That's insane, the other day I bought some tequilla and I think the cheapest fifth of 100% agave tequila at the grocery store was 17 bucks after all taxes. there are some non-100% brands for less but really, gently caress those brands.

I vastly prefer beer at this point anyway.

I get the feeling I am unwelcome in the VW/Audi question thread. Everytime I post a question, it never gets answered.

.....am I a pariah? :ohdear:

I really wanted to have an answer for you because my 1990 audi 80 was my first real car and I replaced the headlight on it about 15 years ago, but I couldn't remember how it was done.

We have several Cinetopias around here. Plush recliners and couches, ottomans to prop your feet on, a good restaurant that delivers your meal to your theater seat, extensive wine and beer menu, and you can even reserve private showings for you and your friends to have a whole theater to yourselves. It'a great.

which location is the best? i think i'll have to try this next time i'm in pdx for a weekend

A TV license has always struck me as one of the more weird things ever, though I have to admit that it apparently funds better TV shows.

But did you know the UK government had special police vans to drive around and enforce licenses?

I have no loving idea anymore. The father of that boy was dating a friend of mine's sister last year. Its like I end up connected to every tragedy in this state somehow.

why are they recording the father's reaction? what a horrible thing to play out for him in front of a camera

Also, I'm guessing that father wont win dad of the year considering that he had not seen his son in months.

Sous vide is that to the next level of buying unnecessary poo poo just to say,"Yup, that's a pretty good steak."

good thing you can do it for free, with a beer cooler and hot water

Well a good craft beer from the grocery store is going to be at least a buck and a quarter, and 1 beer a day is 365 beers a year, which isn't that many beers in a whole year. And that doesn't account for beers drank in restaurants or bars

I think if we hadn't had Baby Ulysses 3 weeks early (was due early jan) I would be on the hook to pay 3-4k but I think we might even get a bit of money back, which is great cause we paid off the defaulted student loan and the treasury won't steal our return like they did the past 2 years.

Mortgage interest is tax deductible, yes. It's not huge since it just reduces your taxable income (as opposed to a tax credit that actually reduces your taxes) and only comes into play if you itemize deductions... but you'd have to have a drat small mortgage bill to still come out ahead by not itemizing.

It's really only beneficial to people who have obscene loans, 500k and up because you can write off 25k in interest every year on the first few years of a 500k loan. The 100B annually we spend (keeping this as a tax break) overwhelmingly goes to people with 800k and up homes (this is so loving stupid). There should be a cap at 25k for interest deductions.

Why on earth would you sell something that small on Craigslist? Craigslist is a website dedicated to people who do not equate time and labor to money.

e: Oh and thieves and other people with illegal sources of income.

Cause as bad as it is, it's better than eBay.

Yesterday, I was working out in the garage and thought I got a few whiffs of natural gas, so I called the energy company.

Guy shows up, checks the meter and can't find anything leaking. I had him check the furnace (in garage) and he found that the burner unit is toast so it wasn't combusting properly.

Says it's not safe, caps the gas line and here we are, freezing our asses off now.
