The Swamp

Signed up for YouTube TV this week and so far, I'm really loving it (free trial). Without having to sign-up for extra sports package, and leaving off our HBO subscription, it goes from $110 package + rental equipment of around $60 down (170 total) down to freaking $50 a month. That's insanity, man....

This is true. But I never played Pokemon, so I would've been Magic centric all those years anyway. And these days I'd only want to play commander if I'm playing Magic. It's a cooler format and you only have to buy 1 of any card instead of a set of 4. I played a bit of magic, but dislike the "w...

A set of Pokemon cards just sold for more than $100,000 at auction If you would have told me 20 years ago to spend my lunch money on Pokemon cards because it could by me a house when I was an adult, I would've been floored. Man, I wish my dad collected these cards and Magic cards instead of garbage...

They help check a box in an automated resume checking software to get a job you don't really want (true entry level backend computer work is about $1 more than minimum wage, and you'll be competing with people 10-15 years younger). You'd be immediately exposed in an interview if you just rely on tha...

Enoch if you pay more than $1 to actually take the comptia tests, you are getting ripped off. I get that you are learning backend stuff, and in a classroom setting, that's fine, but those tests and certifications are utter shit. As someone who has a lot of experience both working with, and hiring pe...

This only really works in dry climates, but it is effective. Fill up a 5 gallon bucket half way with water.

I can't keep up with Fortnite. First video game where I legitimately can't even play it badly, just can't keep up with the building part of it. (for anyone who's played starcraft multiplayer competitively...that doesn't count.)

I'll eat an obnoxious amount of food like that and still be hungry. I have to consciously not eat so I don't eat too much. It sucks. I'm sure I have some disease. And I'm sure my being tired all the time is wrapped up in it. But I've had bloodwork done and all the tests shit I'm fine. So whatever. ...

This is awesome work. "The Legion of Whom" is great. As a Seattle fan though, for their sake please don't compare safeties to Earl Thomas, they won't be as good. Seattle fans are going to get a real rude awakening when they realize how bad entire current scheme is without ET. (For Pete Car...

Root is a game I've recently picked up, and it is currently my favorite game and one of the greatest board games i've ever played. It's a multiplayer PvP game where each faction has a completely different set of mechanics in how they gain points. However, because each faction plays differently, if y...

I got a 26 on the ACT and with a...3.6? in HS was basically guaranteed to get into UW or WWU back in 2004. I didn't submit my SAT's because the conversion score back then was worse.

Good bit on the money not mattering anymore on the Lowe Post podcast. basically the league got richer, so the contracts went up. now guys are deciding between 200 vs 240 million vs 90 vs either 120 or 140 million. I realize to us it's all funny money, but to them, once you get to 200...they'd rather...

I've only been one one cruise in the Caribbean and wouldn't do it again. The food wasn't that good. The boat we were on was pretty big (2k people I think), but we had a small group (90ish people I think?) playing Magic: The Gathering. The magic was fine, but I felt like I could have gotten a group o...

I have it. At $40 a year it is 100% worth the price. Articles are generally good, you can follow as much or as little as you want, the only thing that would make it better is if I could just hide every Jay Glazer article in my feed.

And just kidding. They want her to take a 37% paycut. And she found out today she is disqualified for unemployment because she was fired. So hopefully she either hears back soon from the job she applied for in GJ or her second interview at the hospital here. I'm not really sure what we're going to ...

Do great players win Superbowls? Even if he is the best defensive player in the NFC the next 3 years, there is a price you shouldn't pay because of the impact on salaries you can pay to the rest of the team. Between the contract and lack of rookie deals the danger is not being able to fill in with ...

Can't really recommend building your own. The price difference for what you care about is almost non existant. Just be super sure you are buying a unit that can upgrade memory (usually you can tell by pictures of the motherboard and the specs), and spring for at least a 256GB SSD. get an external dr...

If you don't like sauteed or caramelized onions because they are overpowering, someone can't cook. I would rather have caramelized onions than 99% of candy.

I mean I strongly recommend trying to learn either in the middle of nowhere or downtown where you can never go faster than 30, but other than that...lots of really stupid inattentive people drive every single day. I have faith.

I think it depends on where you are going to school. For Washington/Seattle area going to UW or SPU or Seattle U, no you don't NEED a car. For any place even a little more out of the way, yeah, it's really handy. I had one going to school at Western Washington University up in Bellingham. It was sup...

Maybe deserving of its own thread, but for sure worth a read. I know most of you have children who are mostly upper elementary - college at this point, but should be read.

I've played Scythe a few times, admittedly with a reasonably advanced group of gamers, and thought it was pretty intuitive once you realized you couldn't look over at someone else's personal board and see the same things in the same places. I liked it, some of the races are less interactive than oth...

Saw Pacific Rim 2. Action is better paced than the first one, feels like there is little down time between big monsters/robots fighting. Everything else is as cliche as expected. Worth seeing in theater, but if you wanted to hold out for the $3 movie theater showing I wouldn't stop you.

Went to the game last Thursday. Was a lot of fun. Only got to stay for the first and second period, but the first period was legitimately exciting for being 0-0. Will definitely go to games if Seattle gets a team. The visceral feeling of being there live is unbelievably important (like literally, I ...
