Video Games
Haven't been this excited for a sports game in forever. I poured hundreds of hours into NCAA football back in the day.

Maybe it's my old ears, but the sound quality from a SiriusXM car unit is poor. Like at best CD quality, which sounds tinny and processed compared to Apple Music. Someone on LGP gave out their login/password info years ago, and I still use the app from time to time. App quality is a little better, ...

I still have Sirius XM....its so dirt cheap that its fine to have when I don't want to listen to Spotify or Podcasts. Ronnies post reminded me to chat them up and threaten to cancel so I could get even cheaper rates. I pay like 11$ a month and that covers both of our cars and streaming on line and h...

I plan on booking that right after I buy the 49er tickets. I checked and there are spots left in September but im sure they go quickly.Book Alcatraz way in advance. It's real tough to find a way on the island once you're in town.

Fast Food Thread
Fast food always had to pay over minimum wage to get people to work there. My memory of high schooling job life, the video rental stores and the movie theaters would pay the ~$5 minimum wage amount because they gave the kids perks and people wanted to work there. But you would get paid more frying ...

My wife wants to see the Golden Gate Bridge and other touristy things (besides going to the game). I think we are going from a Sat-Thursday (haven't booked it yet)...so we should have Sunday/Tues/Wed and part of Monday to do thing with Monday afternoon being the game.

I think my current HYSA is around there right now. I haven't seen anything much higher..maybe 4.75% but it seemed to have specific requirements.

Places to stay/avoid in San Fran/San Jose if I'm going to the 49er game? I know the stadium is in Santa Clara, but I'm trying to figure out best place to stay that will give us other places to go to the other days we are there. Japantown seems to be coming up alot as a good place to stay.

Those look like AFL/XFL/UFL uniforms or whatever.

@skullman80 Just signed the Insulwise proposal. Going to do the attic and crawlspace as well as seal the ductwork. I assume you took fed tax credit last year - did you attempt/were you successful getting any sort of credit from your utility company? Duquesne Light has rebates but the rep said folks...

Plans are forming to fly out to SF (well Santa Clara) for the 49ers/Jets home opener against the Jets on MNF. Still some things to work out but I think I can make it happen.

That first half of a schedule up until the bye should be a cakewalk. Lots of bad teams outside of maybe the Cowboys.

Don't forget to phone your in-laws the night before and ask them to watch your dog.
Like responsible pet owners we made a reservation to have Murphy boarded at camp even before we booked out trip lol.

LinkedIn is honestly 99% cesspool. Every once in a while there is something worthwhile on there, and I'm on there just to network, but overall it's a giant turd of people patting themselves on the back and making AI generated posts.

I think it also comes down to how comfortable you are with money overall and the stress that comes with that. If we were tight on money and were living paycheck to paycheck we would probably go about things a bit differently. We are very lucky to not have to live that way right now so neither us of ...

Yeah that kind of stuff is insane to me. The last thing that guy should be worried about is anything related to work.
