They will also be able to clue you in on aberrant behavior before you find out the hard way on a stranger.

This is the (safe) way. Friends WANT to see you connected.

If you adjust for inflation, most of these things are worth far less than what our parents paid for them. However, your symphony was $20 ($37.42) and is now worth almost 3x that.

http://www.pricecharting.com if you click on the individual games it shows you trends, sold listings (and for how much), and the prices for how much of the game you have (e.g. loose disc vs full case with instructions, box, inserts, feelies, etc). You can also price the system (filter for systems) or accessories.

Those champions of norrath games are amazing. The first one is worth about $25. A complete return to arms sells for $45. Night trap is worth around $100 complete in box. So is that symphony of the night.

Define 80s music. Glam metal? New wave? Punk? Pop rock? RnB? Rap?

Sounds like you don't like one type of music, not the musical offerings of an entire decade.

Rick Beato has done multiple pieces on how simplistic music has gotten in recent decades, so hurling that accusation at music from the 80s is a bit weird to me.

Oftentimes these types of posts lack perspective. The 80s were the foundation for many different styles of music that, with the exception of glam metal, peaked in the 90s. If you ask me, 90s music was the best generation in music for that reason, but of course none of that would be possible without the 60-80s.

Is there like a secret tomb you can locate using this note?

That's real weird. Have an xmas updoot!

They will notice less revenue. At some point it becomes more work than it's worth. What if I told you the solution wasn't binary, that you could deplatform them in increments by ignoring them?

By letting haters trigger them, they are granting these haters power of them and everyone else. Views translate to ability to sell ads, which is what keeps them afloat. Ignoring them makes them irrelevant, which is their nightmare.

Refusing to participate is the best answer here. They hate nothing more than being ignored.

Dr. Milton Mills did a wonderful TED style talk on this topic. https://youtu.be/kGDYydkvg3E

Which is why your way sucks. Matching will never happen because they aren't the same material. Plus you have to screw it into studs. I've knocked out whole sections of buckled plaster and done this. It works perfectly and matches 100%.

Checks walls. Yup, still there, buddy. Hard as a rock.

Get yourself a bucket of joint compound and a wide trowel and pan. Put a thin layer of joint compound on it, trying to push some to key through the lath. Let it dry for like a day. Repeat the process until the plaster matches the existing plaster. Using a wet sponge, smooth everything out to match. Texture with a stomp brush to match what you got, prime, paint. It's a lot easier than you think.

I fixed a hole just like that doing this.

America has a population that dwarfs both countries, so it has a larger pool of people to draw from. On top of thar, entertainment is one of our biggest exports, and everyone knows the industry is bigger here, and very well-funded.

That said, I feel like British TV is just more classic and classier. They do less gimmicky shit and stick to raw talent and great fucking writing.

I can't speak to Australian TV because I haven't seen any.

I would try to think less about who is the best and more about enjoying both US and British TV for their strengths. Foreign TV and movies in general ate pretty fantastic. Squid Game showed us Korea has arrived. The empress is very well done (Austrian). French movies are 10/10 for drama. Canada is a mecca for sci fi. Japan's animation is the best in the world. Get out there and see what the world is doing.

The thing I noticed about British actors is that they have no qualms whatsoever about hiring an actor based on their merits above their looks. They have some of the ugliest actors in the business, and some of the best, and it's absolutely refreshing. The result is you tend to be more immersed. Contrast that with the opposite approach of the "hire the prettiest, shittiest actors" where you get a lot of empty, bad shows that are easy to see the actors running lines, or struggling with crying scenes, etc.

Literally anything by Steve Roach.

You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

His life story is crazy sad.

While I totally agree with your sentiment, there's are a couple problems. First, there is a missing period. The comma should come after the "and", not before it, so the sentence can make sense on its own without the aside. I can't tell if they meant to voice this in past or present tense since they bounce back and forth. "Let" suggests past tense, while "lets" would suggest the diamond's growth is ongoing, which I think would suit it better. Ultimately, there are some poor choices in words and grammar that make this aphorism inherently more flawed than a diamond.

It's artificially inflated. The reason why diamonds are even popular is because they go with everything (no color clashing) and they are hard (durable).

Diamonds are the most common precious gemstones found on earth tho.

Looks like she was feeling pretty good.

I didn't know that, but I've also never had it fail to identify the plant. :)
