At a $110K per astronaut, recruiting new astronauts can be expensive... You just have to crank up 'Major Tom' on the stereo while saving their arses.

Donk, as a player of minecraft, I'm surprised you haven't given KSP a spin. It's been called Minecraft in space!

BTW, how's your 'The Witness' progress coming along? There are so many good puzzles designed into that game. A true game software classic.

That's in Kerbal dollars. In the game, you can launch a rocket for a quarter of that.

Put down that phone and Pokemon Go game. You aren't supposed to be getting healthy exercise while gaming. Get that PS4 set up and plant your ass in the sofa like a normal gamer!

It's last year's model but still a great price for all the features.

damn, i should have bought this right away. but i was too distraught at the time. bad poker session.

the price has gone up now. i'll probably buy the 16gb with 2gb ram version. it's much cheaper. i don't need 4gb ram.

im almost undistraught enough to buy it.

right now im the poorest i've been in a while, and my expenses are the highest they've ever been.

if i go on a big downswing right now, i'll have to make a lifestyle change.

Here's the 64gb version for $220. They have it in both white and black.

No tax makes it a similar value.

If that's too much phone and you want to save money, you can probably find a sub $50 phone for hangouts and uber.

You know what nobody makes anymore? Casseroles. Think about it, when was the last time you had a casserole?

literally three or four days ago

there's a lot to be said for a dinner that you can make well in advance, shove into the oven on a timer, and forget about

the main things I've learned are:

1. lamb > beef > chicken >>>>> pork
2. a healthy tot of worcestershire sauce improves basically any casserole
3. parsnips are a disaster, don't do it
4. if in doubt add more garlic
