Comment on We built our house for LAN parties in ~games
wundumguy Link ParentI've been thinking about this comment today. I think it's natural and evolutionary to envy someone who has more than us. And that's okay! It's partially what drives us to work harder and do more...I've been thinking about this comment today. I think it's natural and evolutionary to envy someone who has more than us. And that's okay! It's partially what drives us to work harder and do more to better our station.
But it's also important to be thankful for what we have, because chances are, if you have a roof over your head and food in your fridge, you're in a pretty good spot. There will always be the hedonistic treadmill, and we need to find ways to avoid running on it.
I'm grateful you're able to change your perspective before you wrote this comment, and like others said, you should really be proud of yourself to be in that kind of headspace.

From what I've read, target the "Outstanding" level, which aims to stay just under the inflection point where high-end price gouging sets inCame here to say this.

Comment on How well do you cook? in ~life.men
wundumguy Link ParentSimilar story here: I'm a guy whose mom cooked 95% of the time growing up, and I've carried the torch into my family.

Tonight I'm making a stir fry where I just cut up some boneless chicken thighs into a frying pan, toss in veggies, add soy sauce, and cook til it looks delicious.
Easy stuff is great, but I'm passionate about smoking meats. That came out of nowhere because my mom was always cooking Italian food.

wundumguy LinkOne of these comics is titled "wundumguy." I can't find it. There's ~800 of them, and the text isn't searchable. Good luck. Lemme know if you find it.One of these comics is titled "wundumguy." I can't find it. There's ~800 of them, and the text isn't searchable. Good luck. Lemme know if you find it.

Comment on The online sports gambling experiment has failed in ~finance
wundumguy LinkI voted to legalize gambling in my state years ago because I thought, "I should be allowed to bet on a sports game if I want to, why not?" I did it a few times, lost a couple hundred bucks, and...I voted to legalize gambling in my state years ago because I thought, "I should be allowed to bet on a sports game if I want to, why not?" I did it a few times, lost a couple hundred bucks, and never did it again. I thought things were basically fine.
Then I read an article in Men's Health that put into perspective that things are very much NOT fine. The survey results especially made me reconsider my position. People spend a LOT of money that they could spend more wisely elsewhere.
Makes me wonder how much legalized sports gambling is affecting people who complain about the economy and inflation.

Comment on Donald Trump US tariffs would increase laptop prices by $350+, other electronics by as much as 40% in ~society
wundumguy LinkHow about the fact that tariffs make up a negligible part of the government's income. It almost doesn't matter. 80B of 4.47T in revenue. That's 1.78% of our country's revenue...How about the fact that tariffs make up a negligible part of the government's income. It almost doesn't matter. 80B of 4.47T in revenue.

wundumguy Link ParentTrailers are the answer. I paid Uhaul <$500 to install a tow hitch on my Subaru Outback, and now I can rent a giant trailer online for ~$15 anytime I need it.Trailers are the answer.
