Thankfully, not a lot going on this weekend. Getting my taxes done tomorrow afternoon, but that shouldn’t take long so I should have a lovely weekend of mostly doing nothing of significance to anyone.

Gloryhammer comes to mind immediately. Battle Beast, too. And offshoots like Brothers of Metal and Unleash the Archers.

There’s so much good stuff nowadays.

Exactly!

Power metal. Most people seem to think it’s too cheesy.

Probably ‘Surrender’ by Billy Talent.

Honestly, my own. Meyers is pretty good, even if nobody knows how to spell it.

Being that I live in Texas, it’s been really tough for me to worry about anything but over here. But you’re right, we’re certainly not the only place dealing with this kind of shit. Apologies.

Unless you’re any color but white, or any gender but male.

Water? I want a personal bathroom.

Just remember that cats don’t really learn from negative reinforcement. You’ve got to reward the behaviors you want from them with treats. They don’t have the cognition to associate punishment with the action they were just doing, they only see it as an attack of some kind.

Not this guy! Been (slowly) paying mine down.

I ditched Amazon because I worked for them for almost two years and saw how they treat people. They care about nothing other than making as much money as they can and spending as little as possible to do it. They work people to the bone because it’s cheaper to have them quit and just hire someone else than it is to keep ‘em around and have ‘em eventually ask for a raise.

Believe me, I’m aware. Not gonna stop the idiots from trying.

Man, do you think I’d still be here if I had any choice? I’m broke as hell, and the situation in this state isn’t making it any better.

Please no. Some of us live here and like the US as it is. I would appreciate a change of state government, though.

You did a thing, didn’t consider all of the consequences, and are now worried about saving face? You said yourself $200 isn’t a big deal for you. Just give her the money, Christ.

I recently tried to find the same thing and came up empty. What worked best (though with noticeable shortcomings) was simply making a spreadsheet and comparing prices I found online for the stores I could think of. What I found is that it takes a lot of time, some places don’t have their prices or even all their items on their websites, and that sometimes you end up spending a little (or a lot) more now in order to save money in the long run.

BUT. I also found that some things are consistently cheaper at certain places, and that if you bother to track individual items over time you can start to paint a pretty clear picture of what stores will have the cheapest items. Like, when it comes to chicken breasts and ground turkey, I’m going to Aldi almost every time. But for canned goods, my local H‑E‑B tends to fare a bit better, and is a good second choice for ground turkey.
