Any water we drink here in Vegas gets filtered through our fridge. We don’t drink anything coming out of a faucet.

It's more than that. It's the laundry (you can feel it in teh clothes), shower (you can feel it in your hair), etc. Nasty.

We recently went back to Phoenix to visit our boys and we stayed in an Airbnb down in the Encanto neighborhood. The house had a water system and the difference was very noticeable.

Discounts are as high as $1,600 off new Cybertrucks, with the reduced price depending on configuration, and up to around $2,600 for demo versions of the trucks in inventory.

Restrain yourselves, fellas, Leon has enough for everyone.

I’d buy one for $1600 and strip it for parts.

Surely your favorite watering hole needs a new stainless steel urinal.

Our Euro trip is not going to be cheap.

6K for 4 round trip tickets alone.

I guess no one will be allowed to eat or do anything while we are there....

Airline tickets are out of control. We were looking at maybe doing a quick getaway to somewhere warm domestically next month and tickets are like $750 even from hub to hub.

I remember 450 RT from SFO to any large hun in Europe.

Sad those days are gone.

Yup. For me in summer is like 1200-1600k per ticket to Europe these days.

I don't go anywhere besides flying Tucson to Minneapolis to see my wife's family in west central Wisconsin. I was looking for tickets for our next trip in October and even on Southwest it's $500-600 a person.

It’s not. Booked a trip to Denver in June to see a favorite band play Red Rocks and it was cheaper to fly United (with better flight times) even factoring in that we have to pay for our bags.

It’s sucks because Midway Airport where SW flies out of is like 20 miles closer to us but if their flights are going to be $700 then screw it.

Same , it’s easier for me to drive 2hrs to sfo and pay for parking than flying for sac for flights east of the Mississippi.

Trump demands the world pay us to be Americans now. What's the tariff on park entry this fine Tuesday?

Garage door spring's busted. $400 no problem. That'd buy a couple cartons of eggs I bet.
