What’s everyone’s thoughts on backing up only to the cloud? I have a few extremely important things I backup up in multiple places as well as Google Drive, but I’m wondering if you only used the cloud, would it be sufficient? Obviously if something happened to their data center, there’s a chance you could lose your…

I definitely understand. Being a homebrewer, I’ve had as much as the equivalent of 200+ beers in my house at one time. Certainly need control there. Usually I have my “none during the week” rule, or if any, just one and only one with a meal. On weekends I try to limit what goes into the fridge. Although having an…

Agreed, and happy that works for you. Talking about it (including here) helps, too.

The South Park episode “Bloody Mary” comes to mind... some people are told they’re alcoholics and powerless and have a disease.... when they really just lack the discipline of moderation. Convincing someone they are powerless could honestly lead to other psychological issues, as well as losing control easier than if…

As a SAAB driver, the main rule while parking is if you see a SAAB, park next to the SAAB. Not so much to protect the car, but more about sending a subtle “what’s up buddy, we’re still kicking!” when they get back to their car. And if you make it out at the same time, it sparks up a little convo.

Definitely understand this! And certainly not that guy. I just personally know one or two that completely cut it out, when it wasn’t necessary; but then again, it’s their decision. I think I like to just get it out there that there are people like me that went from having a problem, to being able to manage it…

Heh good point.

She’s gay in real life right? Not that it makes a difference. But for some reason crushes naturally go out the window for me when I know they are 100% not capable of being interested.... can’t explain it. She’s great though, hoping she steals the show in this.

I know we all have our reasons, but I’m curious as to why you (and others on here) need to cut it out completely? I myself have had some years of over-doing it, however instead of cutting it out completely, I simply cut back and set a limit. It might be a bit more challenging, but in my opinion alcohol in moderation…

At least with this one, I like to think they did it with a sense of humor.

Zing.

Really? My argument for Chipotle over Moe’s and other competitors is usually the meat flavor and quality. Typically I just go with Chicken, sometimes Carnitas or Steak, but all seem to be pretty tasty in my opinion. I’m no meat connoisseur, and mainly stick to Chicken or Fish during the week, but I sure as hell can…

I always see people point to the calories when it comes to Chipotle... and I agree, in one serving, that is a ton. But overall, the stuff isn’t overly processed (it’s meat, beans, and veggies), and if you can break up the portions the intake of calories is not as massive (I personally go double meat bowl, and split it…

I think it’s whatever works best for you, in your current location and industry, as well as how the market is for your type of position. I’ve always preferred being an employee, but if the time comes that going independent makes more sense, I would definitely go for it. I’m fortunate enough that I am compensated well,…

2, 3, 1. The rest just didn’t do it for me until Mega Man X came out, and I never really dug any of the sequels to that either. These were all released when I was under 10, too, so I’m not some hipster gamer looking to pick apart games for the hell of it. Just didn’t like them.

Make it a goal to get below 50%... whether it be paying off a car, loans, lowering your electric bill, or making more money. It’s certainly not easy but over time if you focus on one thing at a time you’ll surprise yourself. I was in the same spot and slowly you can chip away. Making more money obviously makes it even…

Same rules apply for brewing beer. I use a mix of distilled and spring. The chlorine can wreak havoc on flavor, especially in anything hop centered.

Pontiac G8 with manual if it isn’t already considered a future classic. You could also say Chevy SS. I love the E34 M5... doesn’t seem to have picked up as much steam as the E30 M3s, but man I love the looks of that car, not to mention the M motor and suspension.

Ugh. We’ve all met this guy though at some time or another. I usually bite my tongue and walk away.

While I’m not doing the full shave, I started cutting my own hair about six years ago. Saves money, is more consistent, more convenient, and honestly sometimes the small talk during a haircut just made me uncomfortable (depending on the barber). I do in fact have a pronounced receding hairline, and keep it pretty…
