[06:14] IsambardPrince But if you want free delivery and no drive up and go minimum, you have to pay for Fresh Pass. [06:15] IsambardPrince It's not a terrible deal, you pay $95 a year and they turn around and give you a $5 coupon every month and you get double points on their store brands and an extra 5% of O Organics and Open Nature. [06:15] IsambardPrince There's some other benefits like they give you a free Starbucks coffee in the store once a month. [06:16] IsambardPrince So if you're a heavy customer, you can benefit more than you pay. [06:16] IsambardPrince There's a lot of programs like this now, and the reason they don't care that you get more than you pay is because it means you'll use them because you're paying for that loyalty program. [06:17] IsambardPrince It's basically sure you might net $40-50 a year more than the cost of the membership, but then you bring all your grocery shopping to them. [06:19] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Now that I'm not living with Mandy and it's not a lie to say I'm not living with him, I applied to get my Extra Help with Part D back. [06:19] IsambardPrince So I might get the feds to pay for my medication again and that would save me almost $700 a year. [06:20] IsambardPrince It caps what you pay to a very affordable price, which means I can also cancel GoodRX Gold.

Here the average rent is about 650 pounds a month, our mortage is 390 a month.

[06:42] TR Bot Techrights Only 1.5% Oppose the European Patent Office's (EPO) Strikes and Other Industrial Actions Until 2027 [06:43] Goblin so what happens is people who can get a mortgage like me buy the house, then rent it and make a profit so that the renter affectively pays the mortage and the landlord gets a free house.

Like, mechanically they still work, everything there still works. [18:06] IsambardPrince Despite being built in the 1940s. [18:06] IsambardPrince The Germans were pretty sadistic. They set up the gas chambers in communal showers. [18:06] IsambardPrince Some days it would just be a shower and some days that group got gassed. [18:07] IsambardPrince But the toilets worked. [18:07] IsambardPrince Now, you take Piyush's nasty roach infested building. [18:07] IsambardPrince Built in 1975. [18:07] IsambardPrince Toilets are iffy.

[18:09] IsambardPrince Then I found a pile of empty cans that said "RAID" on them in the trash in the laundry, which is apparently what they sprayed. [18:10] IsambardPrince The kind that says "Spray directly on roaches." [18:10] IsambardPrince They sprayed it all over bare floor. [18:10] IsambardPrince Like if you move a fridge and there's a pile of roaches, you can spray this directly on them and kill that pile of roaches. [18:10] IsambardPrince But it's not what you use to treat surfaces with. [18:12] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I told Piyush to hire me to combat the roaches because at least I would use the correct products. [18:12] IsambardPrince I ended up doing that.

[21:05] IsambardPrince https://pressureluckcooking.com/instant-pot-southern-stew/ [21:05] TR Bot Instant Pot Southern Stew - Pressure Luck Cooking [21:05] IsambardPrince Needed some stuff from the store, but this is not a very expensive recipe and it makes a lot of food. [21:06] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: I got a bottle of white wine on sale for $5.99 at the store that should allow me to cook recipes that call for some for quite a while. It had an instant rebate (via paypal) of $2. So really $3.99 for a bottle of wine to cook with. Not bad. [21:06] IsambardPrince There's about 5 cups of wine in there, and this one used 1 cup. [21:06] IsambardPrince A bunch of collards was $1.99. [21:07] IsambardPrince Two cans of blackeyed peas (also called purple hull peas) were $1.25 each. [21:07] IsambardPrince 5 cups ham broth, well, the jar has 38 teaspoon size servings, each one makes a cup, and the jar is $7.99. [21:08] IsambardPrince 99 cents for a red bell pepper on sale. [21:08] IsambardPrince $3.79 for a bunch of organic celery. [21:08] IsambardPrince Used an onion from the food bank and som half and half I already had for coffee, already had all the spices. [21:10] IsambardPrince So like $11.12 for stuff I didn't already have, and it made a pot of stew that lasts at least two dinners and then some for two adult men. [21:11] IsambardPrince Even if you didn't have the sausage and onion it would be 59 cents for an onion and sausage is on sale for $2.99 per roll this week. [21:12] IsambardPrince So it would have been $17.69. Call it about $18-ish for that recipe counting the spices and half and half. [21:12] MinceR organic celery! [21:13] MinceR i wonder what's in the inorganic celery. maybe metals, maybe silicon... [21:13] IsambardPrince I don't know. I always buy the organic kind because I started juicing celery years ago and thought I'd get cheap and do "conventional" celery. [21:14] IsambardPrince The juice tasted like gasoline and lawn clippings. [21:14] IsambardPrince Not good at all. [21:14] IsambardPrince Ended up spraying it back out all over the wall.

[21:14] MinceR funny, gasoline and lawn clippings are just as organic [21:16] IsambardPrince MinceR: The conventional celery from Walmart tasted like that unforgettable smell of firing up my dad's old Lawn-Boy mower (the one that took gasoline and two cycle oil) and cutting the grass with it. [21:16] IsambardPrince Until it warmed up it would run so rich you could smell the grass and the two cycle oil/gasoline fumes.
