HS kid, got hammered, walked into IHOP with a buddy, and proceeded to vomit all over the floor and get arrested for D and D. This kid was 300+ pounds, and I need to give our staff credit, because we read him the riot act and were completely stone faced the entire time he told that story, and his punishment was swift and harsh. That said, 30 seconds after he walked out of the office, our staff all started smirking, shaking our heads, and one of the older coaches on staff (not a teacher in the district) promptly said "What is wrong with kids today?!?! I mean, when I was 16, we got drunk and vomited out of the window of my buddy's attic. We didn't get drunk and go to IHOP." Now if it had been Waffle House... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't tell you I've moved to the midlands.... It's alright. Would rather the midwest... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Does anyone use those ridge/compact wallets? If so how do you like it compared to a normal trifold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, you'll be calling a roundabout an island and not think it's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to stay around 500-700 just because I’m only going to be using it for basic internet stuff, having an iPhone obviously my first thought was a MacBook, i saw an Air online for $799.

Acer Aspire 5 sits around $550. Lenovo Flex 14 is a 2-1 laptop with touch screen if you're into that kind of thing, and sits around $450-500 Dell Inspiron 13 7000 sits around $700ish, again another 2-1. If you've got a little over 10 minutes I recommend this video Goes over in good detail as to why at the $700 price point the Dell Inspiron is vastly superior in almost every way.

D82 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Being able to pay all my bills on time and still have money leftover is such a unique feeling. I may complain about my job at times, but I am so grateful to have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, don't buy the Air. Either go all out for the MB Pro or buy something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newest air fixes a ton of faults the old air had if I'm not mistaken. But again you'd need to be shelving out around $1500 just to get decent specs on the thing. Which doesn't seem like a price bigbadbuff wants to pay(understandably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
