I always thought that was the whole reason why she chose the avatar. Given that this is a ww board and all.

Don't want it to go on forever though.

Thoughts on getting people to give 3 answers per round and giving them 1 strike if any/all of their answers are incorrect? (3 strikes total)

Happy to hear suggestions of how else it could be run.

Yes please very keen

Haven't read about it in a while but the one thing I sorta remember is if you're prescribed opioids once your chance of becoming addicted is something incredibly high. Like 20%.

It seems terrible. We're regulated to our eye balls in UK & the NHS governs pretty much everything about what is prescribed. Seems to have protected us from this.

AND is it true that it was worst in all the poorest most dilapidated places? Is it still happening?

I think it was bad in Appalachia. It was decently big in the 2016 election, At least around where I am.

Not huge news online, though.

Derwipok still sheeps a little but in general he doesn't post very much these days. I also miss the old crowd. Pyromaniac I remember as a comic genius and a really good guy, I think he was an English prof out west at Texas Tech iirc.

I would recommend getting an LG OLED 65" or bigger TV from Costco.

Buy a TV stand from Walmart. (I would also say go buy a wall mount but you don't have the tools to install it).

I had a 35" TV for 25 years. I bought a 75" as my next TV and would go bigger for my next one.

Regarding the remote, just use the Netflix app built into the tv and chromecast from your laptop for everything else.

You can buy the audio receiver and speakers for your birthday or next Christmas.

Are you going to go full 10k bed yo with your TV or is this going to be more of a let's see how it goes before I lay out the big money experience?

The OLEDs are great but not for cheapskates (like me).

They might even set it up for you, dunno. Some places offer that option.

Personally, I'd go to Costco and look at them, I did that at Sam's when I bought mine.
