Nick Cage reached a level of Hollywood success that few can accomplish. Then he was like, “meh, I’ve already won. I’m going to go back to accepting every role that comes my way”.
Over time the mortgage payment is less expensive than it was at first, due to inflation. My rent is 3x more than my neighbor’s mortgage because they bought their house 15 years ago.
I would say that they’re worse than local hardware stores. Not only is it really difficult to get help in a Home Depot, but they rarely have any even remotely specialized. Lets say you need a specialized gasket to fix your bidet. Home Depot probably doesn’t have it, and if they do, they’ll make you search for it for an hour, and then make you buy 12 of them for $10. The local hardware store will have a little white haired dude who knows exactly what you need, exactly where it is, will explain how to prevent it from going bad again, and will sell you one gasket for 37 cents.
IKEA does this trick with the furniture they sell you. You think you’re getting a wooden desk, but really it’s two sheets of super thin wood glued into a cardboard box, or some foam.
Why would anyone want a CRT TV though? We used to prefer CRT monitors for gaming because they had faster refresh rates, but that’s not really an issue for television, and gaming monitors have superior refresh rates now.
I had a babysitter like that. One girl literally kicked my ass when I refused to go to bed, as in she kicked me right in the ass and told me more was coming if I didn’t get. Just like with Calvin, it worked. I went to bed and shut up.
So nobody thought to tell the goalie that the game was over? He didn’t hear anyone leaving the field, or the crowd dispersing? This is weird, especially since snopes says it is true.
