What I don’t get...what’s the point of the baby pokemon? Like I understand the point in the long run, but the way they are setup here, they are JUST as hard to hatch as their adult versions, with the lone exception (pikachu), not really being an exception due to rarity of hatching in a 2km egg. Not only that, but…

No, but if you aren’t in a city, the tracker blows chunks. It’s that simple.

I lost about 75 pounds and have kept it off. I still have a far way to go, but going an entire calendar year with no set backs makes me feel as though I can contribute to this discussion despite “still being a work in progress”.

Simple reply...your body’s got jokes and sometimes wants to scare the crap out of you, just to keep you on your toes...

Going to come back and read this more when I have more time. I typically have keep a box of bars at work to function as a snack/meal replacement on long days - keep me going if you will. My wife just grabs whatever she can get a good deal on (lots of Gatorade bars), but it would be nice to know which ones to tell…

I hate it. I like the idea, all they had to do was “reserve” the top 3 spots for the new stuff, and leave the bottom 6 spots for the old tracker. OR give us both, a Sightings button and a Nearby button. Being rural and playing this game just sucks more and more. They do something after each “Rural Nerf” to soften…

Bought to leave work so I only sped through, but most of this is stuff that I’ve been kind of touting myself. But its not even as serious as failed hardware as at least the start of the article indicated.

This felt cathartic to read. Sometimes I can go overboard and not realize it. the last change they made like this made me officially say “No More Money”, and they are getting dangerously close to me giving up altogether. I live in a “rural” area, the closes pokestop is about 2 miles down the road, the next closes…

So a long time ago, my mom hit me with the “I can’t trust you anymore” when I lied to her. Since then, I’ve avoided lying as much as ‘makes sense’. It doesn’t make sense 95% of the time to lie. Real spit, if they actually are your FRIENDS then they should get it. My friends don’t know everything going on in my…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, when you really want to budget, pull up your financial history. I will print out/excel a year or twos worth of bank statements, and categorize them all by date and purpose. Use that to average out things, then in my budget factor in those non-monthly cost like car…

Something I noticed this year, and to a degree last year has been a difference in WHAT is on sale. I did retail a couple times in the mid 00s (BB)...and often it was “great prices on ‘crap’, to get you to not get the best deals on what you actually want”. People would rush in to buy the almost free vacuum cleaners…

This is a terrific idea in practice, but in my head, as a tall person, NEVER. Everyone must adjust to me dammit. Since I’m ALWAYS in the back of the shot ANYWAYS, at least let me dominate the back. Its like Napolean syndrome, but in reverse...

ANY time I go out of town, I turn off/ignore social media. If my wife is out of town and I am home, I still do that. When I’m on my way home, I might say something mentioning having a good time leaving so-n-so, or good-byes, but I keep my plans close to the vest. Even with WORK I just say got plans. There is no…

I just don’t get it. The sibling issues. My sister and myself are 8.5 years apart, and not only was I an only kid up to that point, the next to me in age was 8 years younger than me - I had the WHOLE families attention, but it was no problem when my sister came along. I have two kids, one is 5.5, the other is 20…

While not a bet, I had a similar “design idea” when building an arcade cabinet, used (at base) (1) 2x4 of 1/2" I believe it was, MDF. However, I broke the idea a bit by using scrap wood I had from other projects to enhance certain aspects.

I dress it up with roasted red peppers and seasonings...usually paprika, fresh cracked pepper, and if possible “fresh” basil.

It’s actually 3.5, 2 for sides, 1.4 for bottom, middle, top...though sometimes you can outright buy 2'x2', so it would be (3) if those along with (2) 2'x4'.

I love what we do, I can’t say where exactly I got it, it might have been here, might have been pintrest, but I highly recommend it. We built a wooden stand for holding baskets of laundry, for dimension sake, take two 2'x4' pieces vertically, cut one 2'x4' in half and use it to form a middle and a top (another piece…

Some things are easy. Social Media, unless it is a source of income, can be ignored, at a minimum - blocked. As an adult, the only things that I’m not sure how to handle are physical threats, and property damage. call the cops...when I am SCARED of the cops? I’m a big dude, if I hurt someone, will tables get turned…

short story, went on a cruise after I graduated from college. Two of the people with my group were cops. Trouble brewed in the “club” area. They pulled ME from the bar, and had me stand right in the middle. they were trained cops - good ones, and they knew that my presence alone could diffuse the situation in a…
