This is pure cringe. Not everybody loves Apple, and as others have already noted here, it’s not very convenient to receive an Apple product if you’re specifically locked into Android with every other device in your life.

I just realized there are going to be tons of kids who get PS5 games from their grandparents/aunts/uncles but “Santa” won’t be able to materialize the PS5 itself. At least most of the Xbox Series S|X games can be played on Xbox One with the same disc, but a ton of these kids hooked by the Sony hype machine are going…

Oh yeah you should give it a go with the external SSD if your PC can handle the game. I know on Xbox that load times are definitely constrained to storage speeds, which isn’t a given for all games (it can also be load-in to video memory, few other things), but I would assume the same game on PC vs. Xbox would have…

Dude I was playing the game obsessively starting from Day 1 of Early Access (I had every XP and Fast Travel board in under 24 hours), and I never had an issue with my VIP. You have to progress far enough to unlock the first player house, and then just check the map and claim the VIP house.

Ah, but it sounds like you have an Xbox One, either the original or the S. I’ve been playing on an Xbox Series X and Series S, and everything loads basically instantly. So I could get a million credits using the Willy’s exploit in well under a minute—assuming I had already racked up the skill points to buy the…

Same, but the reason I was able to get it from the Auction House was this glitch, which I learned about later. The only legit way to get it was by completing the Wet Season playlist challenges until you had enough points, but they were flooding the auction house before the season started.

You’re 100% right that you should never buy a house without getting an inspection. Yet...

I enjoy russet skins in my mashed potatoes. They don’t break down as much as the thin skins of other varieties, sure, but they taste good and add variety to the texture. I do cube the potatoes to about an inch or inch-and-a-half before boiling, so it’s small pieces of potato skin in the mash. Not sure if you’re…

I just buy one of these every March and save it for Halloween. Put it on the porch with spotlights all around and a sign that say “Take 1. First-come, first-served. While supplies last.”

I’ve never had green bean casserole, but have seen pictures that made it look appetizing. The picture used for this article, however, looks like a bunch of half-thawed frozen beans with sunburn peel flakes on top.

Actually, the origins of Mother’s Day are pretty interesting, and it wasn’t tied to any commercial marketing effort. In very brief summary, there was a woman who loved her own mom so hard that she started an annual memorial celebration in her honor, and then convinced President Wilson to make it an official holiday.

I think this is a case where MtWGA responded to an existing comment when they meant to reply to the main article. It’s pretty common and an easy mistake to make, especially on phones. Probably not necessary to be mean about it.

Some will consider this ethically questionable, so do with it what you will, but I’m of the opinion that you own that game and should be able to play it without added hassle.

Oh, just to be clear, I don’t personally have a medical condition causing any weight loss. You may have meant to reply to OP and clicked the button under my comment, but I just shared that I’ve had some serious life issues lately (some medical problems are in the mix, just not ones with a weight loss aspect), and I…

Thank you for sharing your personal experience and feelings. For what it’s worth, sending positive vibes.

This was all in Mount Olive, which is unincorporated. But we’re trying to find a place closer to the city, because I work downtown and my wife works on campus in Southside. It wasn’t feasible budget-wise when we bought our first house, but looks like we’ll be able to make something work this time around.

LOL, I don’t think many who know me would call me that, but thanks. It’s just a matter of assessing the reality of the situation. Much as I enjoyed John Wick, I’d rather not try to be him.

Sorry, that’s my brevity v. clarity thing messing me up again. I meant that I wasn’t criticizing or justifying the use and spelling in the original article. I didn’t really think you were criticizing me or my grammar/spelling. ;)

It’s never been harder to keep a lawn alive, and unless radical climate interventions happen like, tomorrow twenty years ago, this is the easiest it’ll be for the rest of your life.
