    Up until I was sent to boarding school, the most recent developments in music I was aware of were Pink Floyd and Camel.

    Prog rock at that stage in a young boy's life can have lasting detrimental effects.

    i love and hate meatball subs.

    1. they are tasty as fuuu
    2. those meatballs are going to be sliding all over the places and have a 25% chance of plopping into my lap once they fall out of the sub

    There's a technique.

    You gotta pinch the bread. Take tactical bites.

    I'm gettin a meatball sub later cause I always do on wednesdays but the place I go uses extra large meatballs so it's pretty manageable. You only have to keep track of two meatballs at any given time.

    Now I want a meatball sub.

    Firehouse does a pretty decent one for a chain. The Italian place near me does well, but they're really expensive.

    I used to get a meatball sub from the Italian deli behind my house for lunch everyday. Literally every day. I would come in and they'd be like, "Sam's here, did you make his sand which yet?" I was the Norm of 1920s era Italian delis.

    How does my heart still work?

    I believe I have a superhuman gene of some sort.

    Because I eat like shit, barely exercise until recently.

    And my heart rate and blood pressure have always been perfect.

    I had a sudden image of spool's and my parlor offering to rent out a room to an Austin high school's CS club for prom

    and them thinking we're insulting them by assuming that they couldn't get dates to prom

    and then I say that I didn't go to prom in either college or high school, and given that I help run a gaming restaurant I'm way nerdier than they are

    and then it turns into comparing our nerd-penises

    so basically I have weird trains of thought

    Don't...don't share this when you interview for a loan.

    Somehow the thought of that interview is very unnerving, but I don't imagine not going being an option.

    Yeah I mean, I know what numbers you're going to need to provide, but I have no idea how you'd pitch the idea in a way where your loan officer walks out of the meeting think that it's as cool as I do.
    It helps that these things already more or less exist, particularly in South Korea, they're just not very common here.

    I don't know that I am inclined to feel like something is a more exciting business idea just because it's popular in Korea, but that might just be the microtransactional PTSD talking.
    Something is a less risky business idea if there are existing business like it, even if some of them are in another country. Granted, the Korean shops are far more internet/PC-focused.

    The fact that there is absolutely no domestic competition in this market space is ultimately a point in your favoras long as you can demonstrate there's untapped local demand or a reasonable expectation for local market growth sufficient to cover your monthly expenses within say 12 months.

    The metro area's got 1.8 million people, and there's a strong tradition of doing what you like, particularly if it's off the beaten path, plus a desire to support local businesses. I think getting a clientele would probably not be too hard if we pre-market to the companies there, as well as to the colleges with students who don't have to worry about spending their own hard-earned cash on a night out rolling dice.

    Yep! I'd try to find some market research for who plays D&D broken down demographically as well as how much money and time the average D&D'er spends monthly on the hobby just to help the loan officer quantify it. And a basic marketing plan for reaching those demographics cost effectively.

    I think it's a winning idea.

    Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile in Kansas has apologized for using a racial epithet during a meeting on April 2.

    The Salina Journal reported that Gile later apologized for using the expression “[n-word]-rigging it” while discussing a repair project. He claimed he actually intended to say the phrase “jury-rigged” but accidentally sputtered out the racial slur.

    “I am not a prejudiced person,” Gile said. “I have built Habitat homes for colored people.”

    So, there's a MMA fighter named Fallon Fox who is male-to-female transgender. She fights in a women's division, against other women, and generally speaking beats the blue fuck out of them. During the acquisition of her licence to fight she didn't disclose that she is transgender, but at no point during that process was she directly asked, either. It didn't really come out until after she started fighting, and now it's created a controversy regarding her fighting other women, people trotting out the old ridiculous arguments about "men being stronger than women" and all that garbage.

    I don't bring this up to bring up this stupid non-debate into [chat], but rather to give a background on what happened recently, which is UFC fighter Matt Mitrione saying a bunch of stupid, transphobic shit about Fallon Fox and transgender people in general.

    The UFC's response? Suspend Mitrione for violating the UFC code of conduct, fine him, and force him to engage in community service before being allowed to return.
    "The UFC was appalled by the transphobic comments made by heavyweight Matt Mitrione today in an interview on "the MMA Hour".

    "The organization finds Mr Mitrione’s comments offensive and wholly unacceptable and - as a direct result of this significant breach of the UFC’s code of conduct – Mr Mitrione’s UFC contract has been suspended and the incident is being investigated.

    "The UFC is a friend and ally of the LGBT community, and expects and requires all 450 of its athletes to treat others with dignity and respect."

    This pleases me.

    Do gaming stores even survive without just completely catering the MTG crowd? The few small places that pop up around town here don't last long unless they plaster the place with MTG and stay open on Fridays till 3 in the morning.
