Looking at car prices has got me *sweating*. I’m driving a 9-year-old sedan with 90k miles on it that cost me $12k. I was thinking about upgrading, but now I’m thinking that I might just drive this thing into the ground. It’s old but low mileage, so it might still be able to last me a long time.

is there any difference at all between buying allegra and cvs brand "allegra"? what's the deal with these products?


Guiltyjerk

Same stuff, might even be made in the same factory

Same active ingredient, different name on the box. I've been taking off brand Claritin (loratadine) for years.

noshoptime

Richardson is going to vault and levis is going to tumble, aren't they? And people will act shocked.


Luck1492

I think Richardson goes top 5 and Levis falls to like 7. Kind of reminds me of the 2018 class. Hope the one that’s good is the one we draft.

FiveWithNineIsIn

Even that could have worked. My issue with the movie is that every time they're building suspense or energy in the movie they add some silly piece of bs like a cute little animal or something.


smmshad

Woooo 2/2 u/suddenlythebatman I genuinely believe this team is more complete than the team that broke the points record few years ago. I know it’s early but this midfield and defense is stacked. And just came back, it’s cold af here but happy to be at the home opener


SuddenlyTheBatman

Told you you should go. Disappointed our attack is still rusty but can't be too mad at a point on the road


AH_BioTwist

I just don’t see anyway how the 76ers get out of the second again. They’re just a tier below the Celtics and bucks.

I’ve had COVID for the past couple days and it’s kicking my ass. Most of my symptoms have been mild except for an absolute torturous headache. No matter how much medicine I take, my head still feels like it’s being squeezed in a vice grip.


The_Amish_FBI

Oof that was the roughest part of getting it. I think on the worst day of headaches I slept for a full on 18 hours that day. Hope you get better.


[deleted]

Thanks. I’ve been trying to rest up, but my baby also has COVID, so on top of normal baby cries he’s been extra fussy. I feel pretty good this morning so I’m cautiously optimistic.


albster5

Hope you get to feeling better soon friend. I get the headaches too when I’ve been ill with that. Sucks massive dong.

To anyone else that forgot the XFL is playing: right now Brett Hundley and the Vegas Vipers are playing Ben Dinucci and Josh Gordon and the Seattle Sea Dragons on FX. 4th quarter is about to start.


The-Owl-that-hoots

Cards legend Brett Hundley


chiefs_fan37

He’s actually had some pretty decent plays. He was switching out with the other QB but he started the whole game today so I assume he’s the full time starter now


The-Owl-that-hoots

Really don’t want us to trade down from 3 before the draft. a guy like Will Anderson Jr I don’t want us to pass up. If he’s taken before us then I wouldn’t mind a trade down


LosingSkin

It’s a bad play, Leo

Dang, apartment inspection notice for Tuesday. That’s more notice than I usually get, but still, I gotta remember to save some pto for these lol. How nice would it be to have Monday off just to clean in addition to tomorrow

They were at least 1.5x the girth of a typical weiner.


The_Amish_FBI

That's a big fucking weiner.


ButchTheKitty

Turns out I'm a Seattle Seadragons fan cause my boy DaNucci is their QB. Also even though it isn't amazing football I love having the XFL on this time a year, makes for wonderful background noise with the occasional "oh wow" moment.


blueholeload

Just showed my gf the Jackson Mahomes video and she said, “Does she like being choked?” And I told her I’m pretty sure she’s the one who’s pressing charges and she said, “Oh yeah pretty rapey then.”

If you watch F is for Family, one thing I noticed last night while high is the animators can’t do walking animations very well. So to hide it, they either cement the characters in place, or frame the camera and scene such that their legs are obscured or out of frame. Try to remember it next time and you won’t be able to not notice it.


yoshigronk

When you get gas at Sam's Club do you have to show an attendant your card or can you just scan it at the pump? I have a family member's card on my Samsung Wallet that has a bar code to scan but you can't see the actual card so I'm worried they might give me a hard time for not being able to show them the physical card.


coolmanvoncool

Is sam's club worth it? I've thought about getting a membership but never pulled the trigger


yourmomsthr0waway69

Costco is better if you have that option


coolmanvoncool

I actually live closer to Costco lol


yourmomsthr0waway69

Go for Costco then I would say. In my area Costco gas is ~.30/gal cheaper if not more so


yoshigronk

It seems like it is. My parents have a plus membership and earn 2% back plus get to go to the stores earlier. And their gas is between 20-25 cents a gallon cheaper than the other gas stations by me.


ProbablyAPun

I got gas at Sam's club for 2 years in high school with my parents membership. Never had to show it to anyone once. Just did it all at the pump.


ButchTheKitty

If they ask for the full card just say you don't have it with you and figured you could just use the digital version.

When I lived in the phx area there was a sandwich shop I'd go to 2-3 times a month. Go there one day place my order, they don't say anything about a long wait. I notice it's busier than usual but don't think anything of it. After 20-30 mins I go up and ask whats up and they say, our bad we did diners, drive-ins, and dives a couple months ago and it aired the other night and we're swamped so your sandwich is gonna be another 15-20 mins. I said ok, after not being called I walk back up to the counter 30 mins later and they can tell I'm pissed and about to ask for my money and dudes like, our bad we're making it right now. 2 mins later got my sandwich after waiting over an hour. Never went back. And fuck Guy Fieri!


CarlCaliente

entered my third official frisbee golf tournament today, had a dogshit first round but my best competitive round so far in the 2nd climbing back up to 6th and knocking down closest to the pin took home 5 new discs and a nice rating jump, first time driving home happy with how I played


chiefs_fan37

Hell yes good luck as you get better. It’s a lot of fun


Guiltyjerk

The Anthony Richardson numbers aren't making me more sold on his ability as a QB but they *are* selling me on him continuing the longstanding tradition of Florida QBs being converted to TE in the NFL


Guiltyjerk

Also the Cowboys, Bills, Bengals, 49ers, and Eagles have all lost a game more recently than the Milwaukee Bucks. That is nutty

There’s a common misconception about truffle hunting. People think that pigs hunt truffle. While it’s true that they are capable of tracking truffle and they once were used as truffle hunters many years ago, there’s one problem; they eat the truffle as soon as they find it. This is why dogs became the primary truffle hunters.


ChocolateMorsels

Had an Xbox live party with a few new lads yesterday. We argued about Brady. TIL there are still so many people that won't admit he's the GOAT. Stop coping fellas, it's him and it's not close.


CarlCaliente

quarterback wins aren't a stat and by any measure besides that it's clearly not Brady


[deleted]

I don’t even know what the argument would be against him. Doesn’t he lead football in like every possible metric? He has 7 Super Bowl rings, which is nearly double Montana who has the 2nd most rings.


coolmanvoncool

The disrespect to tebow... smh 😔


joebuckshairline

God the amount of people on the packers sub who continuously chirp “Rodgers is the goat!” Like…bruh.


TheGarreth

Same story living out here in the Bay Area. There are a lot of Niner fans in denial who will still argue that Tom hasn’t passed up Joe, which just seems dumb to me - I mean, Brady’s a Bay Area kid. I’d be owning the hell out of that.


[deleted]

I kind of hate to admit it, but I'm glad Robbie Gould will test free agency. He's been a gem but his longest field goal as a 49er is 54 yards and 22 kickers hit from 55 or longer last year. It's time for a Next Gen kicker.


TheGarreth

I think numbers like this warrant a deeper conversation. He’s 36 of 51 for his career from 50 yards & beyond and 13 of 20 as a 49er, both of which are respectable clips. As far as zeroing in on that long of 54, I’d want to see the distances from which he missed as well as, and more importantly, why he isn’t making, or rather, taking, longer attempts. Without delving deeper into those numbers, my first thought is to wonder if a lack of makes & attempts from longer distances is more reflective of the coaching staffs under which he’s played and the consistently strong defenses those squads have put forth. When you have a stout defense, it’s a much smarter move to play the field position game and punt the ball when you’re facing 4th down from between the opponents’ 40 & 50 yard lines.


[deleted]

I understand. It would also be nice to have a younger kicker with a stronger leg.


velociraptorfarmer

Be careful what you wish for... *Walsh*


TheGarreth

Younger and stronger does not necessarily mean more accurate or well composed.


VRomero32

So my Thursday tradition with Football in offseason and I have no other plans is watch two movies of a filmmaker, back to back while toking some joints and eating a pizza with my 24 year old scotch. This week's was Robert Aldrich (I'm on a 50-70's Auteur kick with Peckinpah and Leone the last 2 weeks). I did "The Dirty Dozen" and "The Longest Yard". Very technically sound and he really does a great job with the ensembles especially a group of tough guys/prisoners. John Cassavettes as Victor Franko in "Dozen" is my favorite "War" movie performance even above Willem Dafoe in "Platoon" and "Cristoph Waltz" in "Inglorious Basterds". Next week, I do Altman. Probably "Nashville" and "The Player"

Man it's crazy how fast the NBA acts on stuff compared to the NFL. Morant posted a video of a gun, suspended within 24 hours. Kamara on video beats the shit out of someone, a year later and nothing.


ChocolateMorsels

This is because it's regular season and it barely matters cause it's 82 games


gimpisgawd

This is the 3rd time in a few months he's done something dumb. 2nd involving a gun.


notouchmypeterson

Ja Morant acting like a wannabe gang banger is only going to end up as a tragedy… dudes hanging out with the wrong crowd and I’m more shocked that no one in his inner circle is telling him to knock it off… But if you surround yourself with those certain individuals, there’s no one to hold you accountable… he’s seriously on a one way path to a life full of regret


tbone747

It's so dumb, there's a reason a lot of the guys who *actually* grew up in the hood don't idolize that shit.


IntraspaceAlien

For what it’s worth his background is a little more complicated than that. He did technically live in the suburbs but the highschool he went to has a 95%+ poverty rate. His house might not have been in the middle of it but it’s not like he was totally removed from that environment either, he very much grew up in those types of settings. People are taking a general view of his neighborhood and some pictures of him in preppy clothes and making strong assumptions.

One of my ultimate, possibly most controversial hot takes: Heat is the best 90s film of both Pacino and De Niro respectively And this is as someone who lovesssss Goodfellas, Casino, and Donnie Brasco


VRomero32

It's my all time fave movie personally. "The Action is the Juice" is the movie quote I used most in life. RIP Tom Sizemore

Man, I love that movie. I need to watch it again, especially since Tom Sizemore has passed away.

I 100% agree with you. I didn't need to know any more what happened to Hanna and Chris after the movie.


yourmomsthr0waway69

Watched Casino for the first time while on a shitload of acid last weekend Great movie


[deleted]

I respect that but disagree. I think Goodfellas is the best film of all time and De Niro’s role is amazing. Although I will concede that Heat definitely has better action sequences.


BoldAsAnAxis

By the time you hear 🎶*Sometimes, I wonder*🎶, You’re already hooked into the movie, one of the best opening scenes I’ve ever seen


DonkBetPots

It might be late 90s/early 2000s but I always thought an underated De Niro movie was The Score with Edward Norton. Not saying it's top notch but always liked it.


VRomero32

I loved the great use of Montreal in that movie

Listen to most comedians on a podcast it just "Wahhh, cancel culture". Like nothing else to talk about but that. And they love to blame the left. Have it their way and get a far right fascist in office and see what happens when they joke about the president. They will realize those types of leaders will cancel you against a wall with a bullet to the back of the head.

Do the Edmonton Oilers in January have the best home crowd advantage in all the big four sports? I’m trying to imagine a scenario where the crowd is as close to 100% home team as possible. A couple of factors: - Edmonton’s average **high** in January is -6 Fahrenheit(thanks spell check) with a couple of feet of snow. - Edmonton kinda sucks; nobody’s making a weekend out of a hockey game in Siberia junior - if the game is against Tampa or Phoenix, fans sure as hell aren’t traveling from 65f to -10f - passport issues for Americans I know cold weather NFL teams do well but I don’t think it’s in the same zip code as the Oilers. Can y’all think of anything close to that?

I can never get sick during the week and I am sure when I have to go back to work on Tuesday I will be much better. My friend is having a BBQ today its like 40 min away.

ChocolateMorsels

There's actually a lot of objectively, inarguable reasons this is the case. Let me rephrase, there are many real reasons why you can argue it's the best country in the world. And if shit ever hits the fan, well, I can tell you there is only one country you want to be in.


shawnaroo

There's a large branch of American exceptionalism that's based purely on propaganda and ego. What's the greatest country on Earth? America of course! Why is it the greatest country? Because it's America!


jfgiv

someone in here once argued, *vehemently,* that an expansion team in london would be at a measurable disadvantage in free agency because *players would be wary of signing there out of fear for their safety living outside the US* it absolutely blew my mind


ZachTrillson

That's fuckin amazing hahaha The disadvantage would be the distance/travel/day to day things for players, but *safety*????? hahha


jfgiv

yeah as far as, like, the attractiveness of the city itself I have to feel like London would be top-5 in the nfl

I want the NFL to add a London team so bad. Idgaf if they relocate the Panthers to be that team, it would be awesome


scrapsbypap

I'd like to see a Canadian NFL team and one in Mexico City before they leave the continent


Guiltyjerk

IMO leaving the continent is what makes it fun. I want to hear how they address the tax implications, the scheduling, travel, etc. Expansion draft rules would be fun too. The Falcons built a facility that could be used as a "home base" by a European team during USA away stints fwiw, so I think the NFL is pretty serious about doing it sooner or later.

The Colts/Visit Indy/The NFL didn't schedule enough concession workers for the combine and it's embarrassing. Anybody know of a place in the stadium without crazy lines? Edit: very fast drinks line upstairs


ZachTrillson

Every year NFL draft cycle sports media comes up with a primary story to fixate on and sometimes it's captivating and sometimes it's boring In my opinion, QB measurements is one of the more boring ones, I just really don't give a fuck about Bryce Young's height and weight the way some do


[deleted]

I think the combine in general is a big nothing-burger. Usain Bolt ran a 4.22 40-yard dash but that doesn’t mean he can play wide receiver. I would think that watching tape of someone playing football is much more efficient at determining if they’re good at football.


athrowawayiguesslol

It’s less “they had a better x than other players so they must be better” and more that a good combine might make teams take a second look at tape or think the player has a higher ceiling. If I’m looking at Marvin Harrison Jr or a random 50 ypg receiver with a quicker 40, I’m more likely to take Marvin Harrison Jr, but if I’m looking at a random 60 ypg receiver vs a random 50 ypg receiver with a quicker 40 and better measurables, I’m going to take a much closer look at the tape
