Trusting the home inspector that said the roof wouldn’t need to be replaced for at least another couple years.

Not trying to dox myself, but I also live in Missouri and have a sailboat on Carlyle Lake in IL (about an hour from St. Louis). If you’re anywhere in the area, our sailing club is doing our annual Try Sailing Day on June 22nd. Free rides on a variety of different small sailboats and catamarans in exchange for a gentle sales pitch to sign up as an associate member, take some lessons, and be able to rent out any of the club’s fleet boats or volunteer to crew for someone on the Sunday buoy racing circuit.

Do you live in an area where you can go sailing?

I have an important professional certification that I need to get renewed before the end of this week, but I also really need to get my fake soccer team on Football Manager 2024 through the 4th Qualifying Round of the FA Cup.

Exciting news, I guess, but what does this really mean? Not having to download a separate face/logos pack each year?

I’ve got a Kindle that rarely leaves the bathroom anymore, for this reason. Captive audience with a few minutes to kill? Sure, I can get through a chapter…

Don’t listen to him, moosetwin, I seen your comment.

I will go on Football Manager binges, overhauling my favorite squads and seeing them to long-term success. Then I watch actual football matches and think, “Why isn’t Dick Johnson starting at left back?” and have to remind myself that Dick Johnson doesn’t really exist.

I enlisted in the Army on Sept 5th, 2001…that was an eventful week.

Don’t really know, I’ve never talked to any of them.

There’s a part in Dante’s Inferno where Dante sees a guy he used to know in Hell and he’s bummed out, but his guide Virgil says, “That guy is in Hell because God wants him here. Who the F are you to question the will of God? Maybe you should just stay in Hell yourself if you think you’re so smart…” and Dante has to backtrack and be like, “No, you’re right, fuck that guy.”

/I know Dante’s Inferno isn’t technically Catholic doctrine, it’s just fanfic that became so popular people can’t separate it from the canon.

I am a project manager and I too don’t know what I do all day.

Exiled Kingdoms on Android.

All 20 novels in the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brian.

/never had the heart to read the unfinished 21st book.

I purchased something that didn’t require any follow-up but they still asked for my phone number and address to put in their system. The cashier and I had an awkward moment when I found out that the 5 digits I had given him wasn’t a valid ZIP code and I had to think of a different fake one on the spot.

You’re assuming GRRM knows where he intends to go. Or more importantly, how he intends to get there.

Tuyo! My wife loves these. She’ll make a big plate of them, then tear them apart with her bare hands, dipping them chunk by chunk into a small bowl of pickle brine. When she’s done there’s nothing left but a pile of eyeballs and lips on the plate.

I just assumed that 21 other things already existed.

It’s only one extra number.

If you want to fully explore the lore of the series (and spend months/years doing so, probably) start with Zero, then Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 (the remastered, extended editions of 1 and 2) then 3, 4, etc…

If you just want to hop in to the modern day, start with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. It’s basically a reboot of the series, new main character, new combat system. The game should key you in on any important stuff from previous games that you need to know.
