re: Is Briarwood still a golf course in BR? How about Fairwood?
Posted by spaceranger on 9/26/25 at 10:12 am to QB
I cant really be too mad about a new hospital and a school being built on Briarwood, but god damn would that course be killing it right now if it was still around. A real shame

havent gone to a gamestop in like 15 years. you can just buy everything directly from your playstation/xbox/PC. What do you play on? can just check out some games on the store and look up reviews and videos on youtube.

Its just leftover space dust from when stars are formed. Over long periods of time, that dust collides and clings together and may grow large enough to form planets. Asteroids are made of the same stuff, but just never grew large enough to become a planet

Saw this past weekend and still cannot believe just how terrible this was. Were there good scenes? I guess the first half was alright? The alpha chasing them through the water was as tense as it got, but at no point did anyone actually believe they were actually going to get caught by it, just like nobody actually believe spike and the mom were actually going to get killed on their journey (more on that later)
Main takeaways:
The 2nd movie ended with infected going into Paris. There was never any mention of that. All they did was say the virus was contained to the mainland UK and kept there, while the rest of the world is still okay? wtf? And youre telling me after 28 years of the virus living over there, youre dont just nuke the entire area and destroy everything?
The beginning was stupid. The flashbacks to old wartimes was stupid. The music was stupid. The priest and his dialogue was just weird. GF turned to me at that point and said "1 star so far". Didnt really get better
Why tf are we bring a 12 year old to the mainland where the infected are?? Killing for sport? how fricking dumb. The previous movies said it took 5 weeks for the infected to die of starvation, but now those fat mfrs can survive on eating worms? nobody can survive on that in real life. They didnt even explain how they mutated into different types of infected? Just here you go, accept it as fact and believe this would happen
Again, at no point did anyone believe the alpha was going to catch them.
Then, the kid just brings his sick mom on a ridiculous Lord of the Rings adventure to maybe find a doctor? When the mom already knew she was sick and was going to die? what was the point? The mom even said at the end she should have just told him. Like yeah you should have and saved us all 2 hours
What was even the point of the eric guys character? he was there for 3 minutes. Oh but he saved their lives!!! Nobody thought they would let those 2 die before they reached their destination of the doctor. Wouldve made the movie actually pointless
And the doctor. As soon as the dad said he was a wackjob, everyone knew he in fact was going to be not a wackjob. Hes been observing that alpha for a long time and just let it live??? He somehow hasnt attracted mobs of these infected to him over the last 15 years?? They were never going to kill the doctor off so the scene where they acted like the alpha was just going to end everything right there in the little cage they hid in was stupid
Then when they finally tell us the mom has cancer, the doctor just drugs the child and takes his mom out to pasture, then incinerates her body and gifts her skull to the 12 year old??? but it was beautiful cinema and he placed her at the highest point facing the sunrise!!! frickkkk offfffff
then the ending. we got some god damn parkour ninjas in fresh clothes?
I didnt even mention the baby. That may have been the dumbest part of the entire movie. How tf does a zombie lady get pregnant? an alpha? ok, then how tf is the offspring of 2 infected somehow not infected? Such a dumb scene. the zombie mother wouldnt even react to a birth and sure as shite wouldnt hold hands with a non infected person during it. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT BETWEEN MOTHERS. frick you
The dad doesnt even go after his kid and wife? then tries to act all emotional at the end once the baby gets returned to them?
And now apparently they made another one of these abominations to follow this one up? :lol: :lol:
I cannot boo loud enough

re: Plan for Wednesday at Masters
Posted by spaceranger on 3/24/25 at 12:13 pm to Eshep3
did wednesday last year
merch shop wasnt open when they opened the gates, so had to come back later. I bought a booksack so i just put everything i bought in it and carried it on my back. Not really an inconvenience at all. The merch lines go pretty damn fast. it looks like it would take 2 hours but we waited for like 20 minutes
We just walked the course from hole 1 through hole 18. I would reverse that and start on the back- lots of people head to amen corner/16 and it gets packed over there once people actually get in the gates. Front 9 was wide open first thing and then pretty much stayed that way except for holes some of the more popular guys were on
Watching the par 3 kind of sucks IMO. There are some cool spots to go sit and see them hit shots, but didnt really find sitting in one place to watch was really worth it. I walked around the whole par 3 course just to see everything and say i did it, but the main course is dead during the par 3, so i just walked it again without people in the way
Bring a camera- phones are not allowed during practice rounds

I’m one of the ones who downvoted your take, and I probably wouldn’t have if you’d stopped at “the third act drags a bit” because I’d probably agree with you. Especially if you’ve 100% the game up to that point, you’re pretty OP and maxed out by the end of Act 2.
That said, claiming the game needs less content is a bit ridiculous. Side content is always optional and 100%-ing a game is a choice not suited for everyone.
i can get behind that :cheers:

i just finished my first playthrough of the story on this game yesterday, and for $29 it is worth it
BUT
holy hell does it just drag on forever. You cant skip the cutscenes on your first playthrough apparently, which obviously doesnt help. It took me almost 3 months to beat. Theres so much shite to do and it is just so repetitive. It shouldve been about half the content that it is. By the last third of the game all the skill points and supplies you pick up are for jack shite and you are just hoping the game ends

re: What percent hold past massive gains
Posted by spaceranger on 2/11/25 at 9:40 am to makersmark1
Looked into it a little further and turns out Long Term Capital Gains tax is 0% if your taxable income is less than $47k if you file taxes as single and $94k if you file as married and joint.
Seems like if you retire/dont work/have work defer your salary, you can sell those stocks with profit up to those limits and pay $0 in taxes. Would have to be mindful of dividends/interest and any other taxable income you have, but that seems like a viable workaround.

how does one take gains from something like that and minimize the tax effect?

529 Plan: What it is, How it works
Also, per the gift tax, an individual is allowed to gift up to $19k tax free in 2025. Couples who file taxes married and jointly can gift up to $38k per year as of 2025

The money in a 529 plan grows tax-deferred until it is withdrawn. What's more, as long as the money is used for qualified education expenses as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), withdrawals aren't subject to either state or federal taxes. In addition, some states may offer tax deductions on contributions

re: Glacier National Park in June
Posted by spaceranger on 1/29/25 at 10:08 am to Crescent Connection
girlfriend and i did Glacier last August. Its gorgeous. I originally started planning the trip as staying in whitefish and going into the park for just a couple days. It quickly turned into us staying in the park every day and then only going to whitefish for a night to do dinner
Can only recommend what we did. Theres a little lodge called Village Inn at Apgar which sits on and overlooks Lake Mcdonald, that i would absolutely stay at for a night or two. Then as previously mentioned, definitely go stay in Many Glacier on the other side of the park and get a room that overlooks Swiftcurrent Lake. That stay is a little more expensive, but worth it. Finding a room can be tough, but if you check one day and everything is booked, check back periodically, as things do open up.
As far as hiking, i would check out trails youre interested in online. Lots of great reviews and descriptions of how far and difficult the hikes are. We did these-
Avalanche Lake on the east side- about as easy as it gets, but crowded
Hidden Lake from Logan Pass- easy, but crowded if you just go to the overlook. Lots of steep elevation change, but much much less crowded if you go all the way down to the lake
Highline Trail also at Logan Pass- very long trail and you can get great views only doing part of it. Hope you arent afraid of heights
From Many Glacier you can hike (or take the ferry if you get in line for a spot, we just hiked) to Lower/Upper Grinnell, which will bring you around Swiftcurrent and Lake Josephine. Grinnell can be crowded, but the hike was not particularly difficult. Lake Josephine was peaceful because nobody really stopped there, as its kind of a stepping stone to Grinnell.
Iceberg Lake mentioned earlier is supposedly very pretty, but is a very long hike. Our long hike was Cracker Lake from the Many Glacier hotel. these are something like 12 mile hikes, and ours had something like 15k feet of elevation change. You can take a horseback our to Cracker Lake, but we hiked it. You will most likely be alone on this hike, and it can be difficult to see your surroundings through all the brush, so can be a little scary. Had a bear pop out like 30 yards in front of us on the path, look at us, then just keep going.
If hiking isnt yalls thing, be sure to drive Going to the Sun Road. It gives you a very scenic view of the park. There are pulloffs at different places and trailheads, but parking is very difficult because of limited spots. I would suggest at least walking up to the Hidden Lake Overlook though. Its a bunch of stairs, but all on a wooden path and easy. Offers great views for very little effort. It was cold and windy for us so be prepared!
