Mine was only $440 but I did buy it a few years ago. I didn’t have to build it, but it didn’t come with any sights or optics.

Where I live, if you don’t have a car or access to one you are worse off than if you’re living in your car. Most of the homeless in my area have cars they live in.

I’ll say it again. Elevation can go up or down. Lift is up. It’s bloody English mate.

I don’t really know what a flat is supposed to be. We speak different languages anymore.

Nah, Ive lived a couple of years in places that use C but that is nowhere near long enough to fully rewire your brain. I’ll be thinking in F til I die
- Comment on Winter is coming 4 weeks ago:
C is more accurate? Please, please explain that one to me. And don’t use the BS about water boiling or freezing because neither happen a precisely 0 or 100 where I live anyway (or almost anywhere)

Nah, we can adopt metric but I’ll never quit using Fahrenheit.

They have a nonstop line 80% of the time they’re open.

There are tons of businesses near my work (next to a middle school and a high school) that have a posted no backpacks allowed rule on the door. Mostly because of shoplifting, and sometimes there is a pile of backpacks outside the door and a bunch of kids inside when school lets out. But there are probably many reasons they don’t want to carry a backpack when they don’t have to.

Yeah, Jack & coke is great, but my drink of choice is a quality bourbon neat, and JD isn’t up to the job. I don’t hunt for the super rare or allocated bourbons, but there are some pretty good bottles that are always on the shelf.

I’m in a state where you can buy weaker alcohols (under 22%) at the self checkout. But many times I have waited over 10 minutes for someone to come over and check my ID. Just standing there with the orange light flashing and there are four other orange lights flashing and the self checkout line isn’t moving at all.

I have an old toaster oven that has a really weak convection fan but it moves so little air it is nowhere near an air fryer. The timer doesn’t work anymore and it’s ugly but I have another timer and it just works. I don’t own an air fryer and I’m not going to buy one until my toaster oven dies.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 1 month ago:
If your rent is that low you’re clearly not in the US. Why would people with rock bottom cost of living need higher wages? Sounds like you’re living like a king compared to bthe working class here.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 1 month ago:
It’s still $7.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 1 month ago:
Uh, no.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 1 month ago:
You couldn’t be more wrong. I make less than I made 25 years ago, and I’m not even close to minimum. Jobs around me mostly hire at $11-12. Maybe $16 if you’re a welder or something.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 1 month ago:
I’m in a state where minimum is under $11 and yes lots of people earn minimum. I moved out when minimum was around $4, I made maybe $0.15 over minimum. I had two roommates and we lived in a really terrible neighborhood but we made it work. I walked to work back then. Where I live now, walking or biking are not options. It just keeps getting worse.
