Sure?

You're right, that feel more like a summer month. July perhaps.

There were trees starting to bloom here three days ago.

Now it's snowing and staying for the first time all winter.

I am not pleased.

Hey wait a second this isn't the rants thread

why did so many people suddenly care about the chinese starsigns?

every year is the year of some animal, and they reoccur constantly

I’ve seen more folks interested in the Greek (I think) Zodiacs in the past couple years. Could just be Midwest to West Coast culture shock though.

It's just the time of the year. Chinese new year is tomorrow, so the star sign changes.
Also every western new year there's more interest in the greek zodiac signs, to predict the new year, etc.

Why do people overvalue their used crap on apps like let go? Like they want 90% of msrp for every used video game console.

I know! People tend to value their stuff from the price they bought it and not the current market price.

I like buying used but sometimes I just end up buying new because so much of the used market is prices too high.

Missing controller and power adapter. Disc tray doesn't work. Good condition. $140 FIRM!

(New is $150 and comes with controller, adapter, and a game.)

I still like how NCIX had a pentium mmx 233 or a pentium 2 300 CPU(i can't remember which) listed on it's site for something like $250 as late as 2007-2008.....

An exact listing, Nintendo 2ds with three ds games and three 3ds games and a case. $220. This 2ds with one of the exact games installed is $80. That case is $15 new. The other 5 games are total $115 some used off GameStop for old ones and new at best prices I could find at major retailers. That’s $210.

Processors are weird cus they never drop list prices even when new ones come out that are cheaper and faster. You can still buy an i5-6600 for $229 off Newegg which is the same price as a i5-7600k and both are poor value compared to an i3 coffee lake. Intel just doesn’t drop list prices on old products.

yes, but this is the first time I've seen such wide attention to it

In addition, none of the people I've seen talking about it are chinese

Who decides what the new animal should be? Or is it just cyclical?

 

[Lexicus]

It's a 12-year cycle. I believe the order was originally determined by sudden-death dodgeball competitions but I could be misreading a source or two.

They should introduce new animals to spice things up a bit.

How many problems does Jay-Z list on "99 Problems"? One website counts 11. If it's ballpark 11, do you take him at his word that he has 88 more that he's not telling us about?
