In most of Los Angeles, $450k currently buys you an iffy 3 bed/2.5 bath with a non-permit addition on it to make it "4 bedrooms" and it'd be 20 minutes from a freeway entrance, or a 1 bedroom 1 bath condo near the freeways/cultural centers. I'm pretty glad I bought in 2003. That house Rhyno linked would be about $2m in the desirable zip codes here, and $1.5m-ish in lesser desired locations. The difference is the desirable zip codes will see 5% value loss in the inevitable Trumpcrash (assuming it follows the pattern of the Bushcrash) and the other places will lose 50+% because rich people still gotta go to work in the studios and it's good to be near them.

I've got a couple greencarded Ukrainian software engineers that work on my dev team, absolutely brilliant guys. They have endless stories about the ridiculous corruption in their country (which makes the 'corruption' the US suffers under seem like a party gag - there you only have to be mildly cash rich and the police will look the other way as you murder someone and will likely help you if you're mildly rich +1...) and while they still enjoy visiting back home now because of family they're glad to be paying the cost of living in LA because at least when landlords/police/authorities renege on deals here there's some sort of pretense of recourse. There, you're just straight hosed as they take your assets and beat you up. It's common to say the US is corrupt because we have shithead cops, shithead politicians, and oftentimes byzantine bureaucracy to get anything done - but there is a huge gulf between the two societies in reality. Good luck on that adventure, CSB, should be super interesting. Stay safe, keep a roll of cash on you at all times, and we're looking forward to the thread. I hope the first thing you do is define 'makerspace' because that sounds like the Bay Area equivalent of 'a machine shop' to me.

Raluek posted:I know that this is probably just a joke, but in case you are serious: a maker space usually has tools for all sorts of things, not just metal. Metal, wood, auto, electronics. They usually work like a gym membership where you pay a monthly fee for access to the space, and you can use whatever tools you need to work on your own projects. There is a lot of tool overlap with a commercial machine shop, but the way it's run is pretty different. Yeah, it was a joke, but it's definitely a newish concept that's unfamiliar to some because they don't live in cities/are old/whatever. Thanks for your answer though, it's considerably more concise than the half-assed one I gave my mom when she asked me a month or two ago. Someone's building one in my home town in one of the newly renovated riverside warehouses and she was curious what it was all about.

I tried watching Spectre and 45 minutes in neither me nor my wife had any idea who the gently caress any of the 60 or so people dressed in black was or what anything had to do with anything else, nor why anyone would care. I generously conceded that maybe we'd been puzzled because we hadn't seen Skyfall and everything was set up in that so we tried watching that and realized that we'd already seen it and immediately forgotten everything about it because Daniel Craig is extremely boring as Bond. bring back Remington Steele I say.

You guys think regional jets are a problem, get this: I'm 6'1" and the lay-down bedlets in most business class sections on international jets are built for someone exactly 6' tall, it's loving not fair!! (an actual issue as dumb as it sounds) Seriously though I feel you *actually* big guys, I have enough issues being 'large' compared to average sized people.

It's fiancée if you're a man and if you're talking about a woman, however either way sounds extremely fey when men say it. So maybe that's the problem.

The Martian movie was better than the book, the book was adequate but nothing like what good writing is like. It was a great outline to a real book but he forgot to write in most of the interesting parts or add dialogue that wasn't just 50 Shades of Grey level exposition. They were both relatively forgettable but exactly epitomized airport reading/long flight entertainment. I still am annoyed about the lack of shoes in Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". Like, I have at least 50 pairs of shoes in my house at any moment due to having a wife and living in the same house for 14 years. How is there going to be a shoe shortage if 1/100th of the population is all that's left? E: I watched Hacksaw Ridge last night and found it a bit sappy but still very enjoyable. Trent from Swingers acting like Mel Gibson must have told him "Ok, make it 60% Full Metal R Lee Ermey and 40% Saving Private Ryan Tom Hanks and you are sooooo money" was fun. What are people's thoughts on which is better, that or Dunkirk? Ether Frenzy fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Jul 23, 2017 |

Gee yes, there are definitely no other characters in the book and nothing happens except Matt Damon sits there by himself telling stories about potatoes. In 3 word sentences.

Holy gently caress these  that have been debunked for 100+ years are bad and wrong. You lot are inquisitive, curious, educatable (and educated) dudes. Go to your hospital and ask to be admitted to the medical library. They have tons of books on how titties and vaginas work for 14 year olds. Titties are not front-top butts and that idea is so proven wrong at this point in anthropological research over the last 150 years, not to mention human sexuality research that's happened in the last 70 years. Missionary position was not invented in the late 1800s. Have you people never seen the Khaleesi showing Khal Drogo how to gently caress like a normal person? Do you think the term "French kissing' was invented during the reign of Louis XII or do you buy that it was invented by American GI's in the 1940's thanks to them bringing freedom, chocolate bars, and... nylons? To the deprived french girls?Everything in life is down to cultural norms. If you look at the first girl you made the sex with and compared her to the next 15 or 20 bitches you be loving, you will probably identify that 75% of those girls are the same body and look archetype. None of this poo poo is genetic, unless you believe that women like the big dongs because Gorillas have big dongs. (they have tiny dongs.) For the idea that titties = buttocks one would have to find a universal appreciation and sexualization of The Tittehs but as it turns out almost all of the cultures that aren't driven by strictly imagined victorian norms (the US and the UK) titties are not sexualized in the same way at all. See: Topless beaches in 99% of european places where the English blokes side-eye titties all day, the Californians pretending to be English blokes side eye the titty 24/7 because we're smart enough to wear mirrored sunglasses, and the people from there don't even notice there is even a titty. Additionally, Africa, France, Portugal, Greece, most of the non-christian paciific, and almost everywhere else where titties aren't even a loving big deal at all. Alternately, investigate how titties are dealt with in strict oppressive regimes like Saudi Arabia. Look at Pornhub data about where the biggest purveyors of porn reside. Utah, Saudi, and Pakistan.

I have a feeling in Trump's America where fairness and decency reigns, the draft will have a giant asterisk overturning that issue. Sorry about your impending service invading North Korea, Iran, the non-homicidal maniacal portions of the Phillipines, Putin's biggest political enemy's condo in Paris, Al Udeid Air Base, California, and mainland China via beachhead landings at the same time.FAT32 SHAMER posted:A hollow win would be humanity nuking itself into extinction ok pal A fat juicy win would be most of the millenials getting murdered in the aforementioned beach landings, Gen X devising a way to kill baby boomers using ipad apps, and then eternal peace, love, harmony and prosperity would ensue so let's just quit this nuking talk.

The distinction happens wherever the winning side determines. For me it begins with the start of the vietnam war and finishes around the end of the nixon administration, that is what constitutes Gen X due to the cultural upheaval that was present through that era, socially, politically, globally via the proxy wars for communism vs Good or whatever the post-WWII american policy doctrine actually was, and then there's the whatever generation for 3-4 years who can go either way - Star Wars, did you see it in a theater? This is important to whether you're X or not but not a delineation by any means. However, regardless of your personal beliefs and mores, if you were born after Ms. Pac Man came out, you are not Gen X. Then there's millenials, who grew up and became 'of age' around the turn of the century. They aren't bad people, but Tusen Takk claims that group and he'd make a great front wave on any beachhead landing because the enemy would never be able to see him once he hit that white sandy beach.

Well, it's convenient that you weirdly young people are so diverse in your In the aforementioned 'nuking' scenario, you older Mill's will be definitely advantaged by having lived in the analogue era and pre-everything-being digital and in the cloud. Imagine trying to look up "how to make a electrical generator work" if you don't know how the dewey decimal system worked. This is for laughs and we're all hosed unless you are making 2-5 million a year. The really damaging part of society, generations be damned is all these $250k a year scrublords thinking they're rich.

It happens quick my dude. I laughed at the oldass 42ish dads of my friends, sitting around drinking Busch Light and listening to the Allman Brothers telling us all to enjoy youth while it's there like 'whatever, gramps'. It was yesterday. in 1990.
