I usually by the house brand of anything the first time I buy anything. Cooking ingredients, household chemicals, drugs, tools, and anything else you can think of. I have found a number of places where saving money is not worth it, the difference between organic tomatoes and the conventional ones is huge for example but if you don't care about tomatoes you may be fine with the cheap ones.

There are a few things I will spend good money on first time through. Basically anything I am not going to have a chance to replace if I don't like it. I had to replace the floors in a few rooms in my house. When we first moved in and could not afford nice carpet. It took 10 years to wear out the carpet and for us to have enough to replace it. If I had to do it again I would have stuck with the original longer to save a bit more and put in better flooring.

My dad did the same thing. It was permanently wired to his car and we loved it. We drove cross country a few times and played the entire time.

Apparently a traffic cone is the way to go. The car will just sit there until someone removes the cone.

The port never had multi-player. The original game did. I would not call that removing the feature. I am glad I don't have to wait for them to build it. I am really glad to be able to play the original. I have not had an Xbox 360 for some time now much less access to the disk I borrowed from my ex-brother in law.

For me that's great news. I play video games to relax and I find nothing involving strangers relaxing.

There was a guy I used to see in traffic who used to play trumpet as he drove. It's been more than 20 years since I saw him and I still think about it from time to time.

Eating on a dare Take a bite, we'll make it, I swear Woah-oh, livin' on a prayer

My issue is with the camera work. There is way too much camera movement and it makes me physically uncomfortable to watch.

Imagine having a political opponent you consider equal to Hitler and choosing Joe Biden as the candidate you run against him.

I just checked and every single textbook I own that contains a reference to this transformation uses an image of a sheep. Sadly all of my textbooks are in English. If I had any relevant texts in German or Spanish I doubt that they would makes this connection.

On an less relevant note one of the books introduces the idea of change of basis with a joke about labeling axes and has several different types of ax with corresponding labels attached and I find that to be a much worse joke.

Money for infrastructure and money to buy the thing.
