If you travel so much, shouldn’t you by now have status with airlines, which would allow you to fly premium economy/first class, thus eliminating many of these potential issues?
So combined you’re basically spending slightly less for those 2 beers each than you would for a monthly cable sub. So in reality, it’s not THAT much less money. But then again, watching a big game at a bar is generally much more fun than watching at home.
Comcast was running a special in my area for $90/month for cable and internet. I have my own modem so I don’t pay that monthly fee and I have TiVo so my monthly fee for all 3 TVs in my apartment is $10 a month ($12.50 a month to TiVo less $2.50 Comcast credit).
Standalone internet from both Comcast and a local fiber provider is $60/month so I value the marginal cost of cable TV at about $40 a month.
I’m more excited at the fact that you’ll now be able to watch ESPN without a cable sub. I personally won’t be dropping Comcast because of the great deal I have where I only pay like $40/month for standard cable, HBO and Showtime, but I’m sure a lot of other people will drop their subs, leading to lower prices from cable companies. Live sports is the last thing competitive advantage that cable has and once that’s gone, those subscription fees should plummet in an attempt to keep their subscribers from cancelling.
It wasn’t anything too major (a coffee table, a spice rack, a bed frame). We have good furniture as is and we just moved in together in February. Once we actually buy our own place, we’ll go with real furniture and throw away the IKEW shit.
I went to IKEA with my girlfriend a few months ago. We had normal discussions about what we want to get, accepted each other’s points of view and compromised on what to get. When we got home, I started assembling stuff while she brought me ice cold beer every now and then. I think I have a pretty solid relationship.

Fair point.

How much do you guys pay each time you go to the bar though? If a cable sub is like $70/month, that’s basically 6-7 drinks.

Overall, this is a great move for everyone.

Unless you have definite proof, stay out of it. Otherwise, he’ll take her side and you’ll be out a friend.

And no, I’m not trolling. This actually happened.
1 order of Michelob Ultra? I didn’t know that Duda was a fisherman.
I dunno, in some cities this can be a 10 mile drive in traffic.
There’s a blowjob joke in here somewhere.
I think that your awful opinions are probably why you don’t have friends.
Seeing Green Day tomorrow. Super stoked for that.
Shit movie but the actual Pearl Harbor bombing scene is amazing. Put that DVD to great use to show off my sound system circa 2005.
The new iOS*
Venmo’s great, but it has tons of security issues. Can’t wait to be able to pay people directly via Apple Pay when the iOS comes out
There’s a reason that the saying “one tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor” came to be.
One of the*
I don’t think so. There’s a pretty wide consensus that The Wire is of the greatest TV shows ever made.
