After 10 years of being taxed to death we're selling up and moving from the Bay to Dallas, I'm making almost the same base salary but I'll definitely miss those bay area bonuses. The job more than makes up for it though.

Apparently we can sell our place and make enough profit to buy a nice place in cash and maybe a 2nd income property, which is nice.

Going to miss the state park in my backyard, but otherwise I can't wait to move.

Shiit dude, there's your bonus.. Congrats!

Thanks, according to those online calculators it's a 35% increase, which pretty much makes up for the bonus. Also having no mortgage would be amazing

And moving to a city with a 5 x lower crime rate is worth almost as much as never hearing the word "problematic" used in a non mocking way again.

good job brah. know a couple of people who live in san fran who pay over half of their earnings to taxes and rent lol, but they stick around to get ahead in the tech sector. definitively not a city for normal people.

Brace yourself for some all out nasty weather, sometime entertaining to watch...other times, not so much.

My 4yr old nephew absolutely hates John Cena's guts.. For the longest time all he ever said was "John Cena is so mean!" And of course everybody laughs and gets a kick out of it. But finally his mommy asked him just WHY he hates John Cena so bad and he told her John threw sand in his face when they went to the beach last summer. And again, lulz were had. Now though he's getting serious about it and wants ME to go beat John Cena up for him - which kinda puts me between a rock and a hard place. I want to be the cool big uncle for my little nephew.... but at the same time I don't think I can take John Cena.

Sounds like you need to work out more.

Would've been close to setting a personal best for alcohol consumed this weekend. Christ...

Good luck with it all Halfway.

I watched 'Goin' South' Thursday night. Jack Nicholson western. Underrated af.

Also seen Owning Mahoney for the first time, great stuff

Have you tried just giving up for 7-8 months at a stretch? It's not a lifetime nor just it have to be, but just in regards to gauging a difference in your physical and/or mental state? I'm trying it now (even socially) and it's great, although I wasn't a big drinker prior.

Went 6 months without a drink in '15. I started to feel way too normal.

You mean you started having an inkling for the 'white picket fence, Swedish bride, married w/kids'' thing? Yah...def way too normal for you. Keep chugging.

Once you have no real expenses (no mortgage, limited water/power bill) and own your vehicles - the amount of income/savings you have is literally insane by working a regular job.

I am about 10 years away.

I've heard this from a meeting for a pyramid scheme.

But it is true.

Half my expenses alone come from housing.

I will never get close to my personal best, and i never want to. Not going to get into details, but i was young, and it involved a lot of Absinthe shots

edit: i do see the irony in me saying that while sporting a pic of me drinking a 3 liter beer

[gachase21]

Don't worry, I don't.

If you do please invite me to wedding.

I'd love an excuse to go there at some point.

[Mr Beer]

My experience is that it's not so much that hangovers get worse as you get older but that you need more sleep to get over them. Not enough sleep + hangover = walking dead.

As of this morning, I am an uncle.

Feels weird. Just weird, man.

Trump going in dry on fake news this morning lmao

I know, right? What I wouldn't give to get in on that amazing, VA quality FREE healthcare but sadly I'm going to have to settle for a PPO plan instead.

I'll miss out on the city re-zoning the 6 acres of open land in my back yard to build low income housing too

nah bro I'm a game designer who can only into VPL

Which part of Dallas or DFW are you in? We're moving to Richardson for that sweet 5 minute commute (after years of 90 mins each way in traffic)

Yeah, it should be a huge saving - COL aside, we won't be dropping 40+K a year on the house

Anybody here remember Suroor Sultan?

No worries mane, when I graduate with my 1337 coding skillz and your master design we can make the next Rainbow 6: Siege.


Duuuuuude we're going to be neighbors. I was living in Richardson going to UTD before I transferred out. Debating going back next semester (for several reasons), but I live in the Carrollton area.

I was looking at "active/quick use" gun safes and this one popped up.

It goes on sale July 2017.

Please tell me you met him IRL

Have you guys seen Lethal Weapon?

Overall, the show was great. I thought it was good remake and it was a refreshing show. I usually get bored with cop shows, but I tuned in weekly to try and catch it.

Due to schedule, I only caught the halfway point. I didn't see the beginning nor the finale. But, you can Prime it now, so I've been watching it.

Holy. ****ing. ****. That finale. That's probably the single best piece of television I've seen.

What an amazing cliff hanger to boot.

Season 2 looks like it's gonna be

Spoiler!

Man on Fire: The TV Show

Damn good cinema.
