- Comment on Deficit Between Minimum Wage and Annual Cost of Living of US States (OC) 5 days ago:
As I was looking at it, I was thinking it could definitely be that based on the extreme cost of housing on the west coast even with a $15 min wage. Interesting and completely unsurprising graphic, thanks for creating it!

Is this federal minimum wage, or state minimum wage?

EXCEPT…for when your computer teammate jumps in front of you while you’re shooting and accosts you for it, then a second later they literally mow down a bunch of infected by shooting through you with no consequences.
So I have to knock it down to a 9.9/10

Zelda: Link’s Awakening on the GameBoy Color in the mid-90s. I got to the second temple, and was totally stuck - to progress I needed to learn to jump, which I inferred was in this temple, but I just couldn’t figure out where it was.
Wandered all over the available map, which of course was constrained due to lacking the jump skill and other story-driven tools. Nothing.
Finally bought a game guide, which explained to me that I needed to bomb a wall in one room in the second temple to progress. It was indicated by a small crack, a staple in Zelda games but invisible to me in my first experience with the series.
The cherry on top was that by that point, I didn’t have any bombs to break the wall, and I recall that I didn’t have the ability to buy or acquire any and had to restart the game to progress past the point where I was stuck.
After that point, Zelda: Links Awakening became one of my favorite games of my childhood. It is hilarious how much frustration it caused me before that realization.

Damn it, Tecate is my favorite beer. I’m sure Kroger will have raised their prices tomorrow already.

I got notified of it in the first quarter of last year.
I had already switched insurances because all my providers stopped accepting UHC because THEY WEREN’T PAYING THE FUCKING PROVIDERS
