Front or back ass?

I've always known the advertised space is larger than the actual space, but it was never quite the shock as it was when I recently bought an 18TB external drive with ~16 TB usable.

Because humans have had dogs as companions for millenia? Yeah I get that as a civilized society we should probably be working toward respecting all species of animals but every time I see this 'how is it different than eating any other animal" argument, I cringe. Because cats and dogs in particular have been domesticated companions of humans for thousands of years. So we see them differently than animals we don't have that relationship with...

Yeah for higher energy bands especially, I just don't get wanting to sit at shows. I'd rather just not go if I didn't think I could stand/dance through a concert. I think it's cool when venues have some designated seating for those who need it but it's always kind of a bummer when I go and it's mostly or only seated..kinda kills the energy

Like every day or casual? Shadowlands was pretty much the nail in the coffin for me retail-wise. Have had some fun with classic the last couple years though.

Hur dur, "can only add toppings to meat burgers" Hur dur

But no toppings (lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions etc.) So a plain burger and a piece of Danish for 3.50 isn't exactly great value nutritionally. But yeah this could be done cheaper and probably could have gotten at least some store brand cheese too.

My wife and I are extremely fortunate in that we have a family friend rent situation that is way below market rent and both have decent income & no kids (yet). We enjoy a bit of light travel and go to 5-6 concerts a year and maybe one music festival. Outside of that we are fairly frugal. Don't eat out often, do most of our shopping at Aldi etc. That being said, we don't feel particularly well-off. And if we had a mortgage (minimum in our area with a 20 percent down payment) would be around $2k a month and a car payment, things would be pretty tight. I don't know how people are getting by at this point.. especially new families buying their first home and starting to have kids..
