I've noticed that the important things in life have really started to come down in price...
Two years ago vs today:
Gas—
was: $3.50/gallon, today: $1.54 (just filled my tank for less than $18)Car Insurance—
was: $1,500/year, today: approx. $1k (got married etc)Rent—
was $920/ month (didn't include utils), today: $792 (includes all utils)Weed—
was $60 / 8th, today: $35 / 8th (same stuff... if not better)The only thing that's really gone up in price is eggs. I recall getting a dozen organic for about $2.25... now I can't find them for under $3.50.
- gas is always crazy cheap just before elections for some reasonscarabin
- do you get in a lot of accidents, 1000+ is high********
- none... has everything to do with where I live / what we (wife and I) drivePonyBoy
- gotcha********
- so in other words, you drive nice cars and live in the hood********
- not nice cars—just live in the city—I suppose a rural dweller as yourself might refer to it as 'the hood' :) $1k is not that expensive btw—just good coveragePonyBoy
- you're in NH... yes?PonyBoy
- i live in boston, moved last year********
- car is newish and i live in a high crime area, insurance is still less than yours somehow********
- premiums seem to adjust based on region... google 'east coast vs. west coast car insurance'...PonyBoy
- ooooh I'd love to fill up on these prices, my fillup is about €60 and lasts just 350ml. Germany... But It was €90 a few months agomekk
- auto insurance $2.2K here -- no accidents or speeding. men in 20s looking at 3-5k because canada.Gnash
- That's insane********
- weeplol @ those prices.
weeplol @ my life.
ffs, why do I live in London again?detritus - Actually, having just done the math - you guys pay a fuckload for weed over there. I thought that would be cheaper? What sort is it?detritus
- weed is free in canadaGnash
- best of the best, detritus... this current batch of blue cheese is quite tasty... so $35/ 8th is pricey in the UK? Cuz that's crazy cheap over here.PonyBoy

Have to get about 800 sqft of hardoowd flooring done before we move in March. The tongue and groove stuff, no nails or gluing. Anyone here done it themselves? Easy or not worth the hassle? (It would be a good excuse to buy a rubber mallet and mitre saw).
- depends on the base floor. wood base or wood floor on cement? what surface? ground floor etc. weather conditions ei. climate locate.yurimon
- there are these things to consider before you make a choice. each material is prone to weather conditions., humidity, shrinking, expanding during the seasons.yurimon
- is it prefinished wood floor? or raw wood floor you need to stain?yurimon
- you know the wood needs to acclimate to the environment first right? It needs to sit in the space for weeks before its even installed.imbecile
- is it 100% hardwood or a laminate?Gnash
- ^ 3 days minimum, don't need weeks to acclimatizeGnash
- it's easy if you have the right tools. chop saw is good. you can use a regular hammer if you use a piece of the scrap flooring as a buffer.Gnash
- if there's no nails or glue it's likely laminate or engineered HWGnash
- bamboo, concrete floor, almost certainly needs a sound-damping underfloor, no nails (into the concrete) allowedi_monk
- it's really not too difficult. once you get started it's pretty basic. you'll need a chop saw, rent it from Homedepot unless you're doing more remodelling.Gnash
- (congrats again on the purchase)Gnash
- all the different manufacturers will have install vids like this:
https://www.youtube.…Gnash - note that some floating floors need to be glued between the tongue & groove (not to the floor)Gnash
- if you're not nailing or glueing it's much easierGnash
- Glue in the grooves isn't a big deal, as long as I still get to whack them with a mallet.
(Thanks)i_monk - You guys pretty much covered it, regular hammer and a cut scrap with the groove still on so you don't smash up the tounge. Nail them down through********
- The top of the tounge and the nails will all be hidden by the female part of the next peice. That way no heaving and no creaking. Buy a single miter small chop********
- Decent brands make them for short money. And don't forget, the floor doesn't have to fit to the edges perfectly, the baseboards can sit on them so pull off the********
- Baseboards first and give yourself some wiggle********
- ^ ya, they should absolutely not fit right up to the edge. the floor needs room to expand. A floating floor will buckle if tight to the wall.Gnash

Learned about the bar-tailed godwit today. Nine fucking days. Non stop. Yukon to New Zealand.
The bar-tailed godwit breeds in Alaska and Siberia. When the cold season approaches, the shorebirds stage in the Yukon River delta and take flight. Next stop: New Zealand. That’s 7,000 miles, the entire length of the Pacific Ocean, without stopping — the longest migration for any bird. Scientists established the migration route using bird bands, although satellite tracking devices were used to confirm the birds don’t stop flying the entire nine-day journey.

"The Day the Clown Cried"
Jerry Lewis produced and finished a movie about a clown whose job it was to entertain children who were interned in concentration camps, before they were executed. Lewis locked the movie away and it's never been seen by anyone. It's held by the Library of Congress and will be publicly screened in just 10 years!- dear lord it's going to suck. good thing he, and all his friends, are deadGnash

I dreamt I was playing PS3, in the game I was driving a shoe
Someone should make a racing game where entire car park consists of shoes
- My suggestion is that no, no they shouldn't.********
- this is a great idea! imagine nikes vs leather shoes vs espadrilles...
...also great packaging possibilities.uan - sport shoes = sport cars
slippers = bicycles
rubber boots = busesdrgs - If you have dreamed of PC gaming, mods would have made it possible :/mekk
- My suggestion is that no, no they shouldn't.

You're not high until you think the "oven ready" beep is the beep telling you the food is done, then you realize you didn't set the timer, so you guess it's been about 15 minutes, then set the timer for another 15 minutes only to return to the kitchen after that beeps to find that the food was never put in the oven in the first place.

- infected yourself with a blood-sucking parasite:
https://en.wikipedia…Gnash - blue inhaler works a treat though - never had a medicine that is so effective with zero side effects...fadein11
- Had it all my life. Exercise, cut alcohol, and reduce inflammation with diet. I went from using my inhaler 1-3 times a day to not having used it for months.IRNlun6
- A lot people moved (far away mostly) to places in a much higher or lower altitude, such as 4.000ft+, mountain area or near sea-level, islands etc.mekk
- I've heard people say Breathe Easy tea provides good relief of asthma symptoms. http://www.tradition…********
