That's just enough to buy my wife and I ice cream cones at the best place in town and leave enough of a tip that we don't feel like we're being cheap. Date night sorted!

Gas for the motorcycle, and ride. Maybe $10 for gas and $5 for a coffee somewhere.

I just got the 24 street triple r, full tank costs me about $11. Best 2 hours of fun for $11, 100% agree with you

Buy an internet ad that tells people the damn dollar sign goes BEFORE the number.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

But which is 'before' the number? We use arabic numbers so they're actually reversed...

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Not in Europe. We put our currency behind the number and our decimal is a "," instead of a "."
Instead we divide thousands by empty spaces or "." (at least in Germany).

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Why is your decimal a comma and the separator a full stop? A comma continues a thought just like it continues a number, and a full stop (period) separates sentences, much like it separates a whole and fractional part of a number. Your system is ass-backwards and you fucking know it. You should be ashamed of it.

Interestingly, in europe this seems to vary by country!

I was just thinking that I wasn't sure which was correct, but it seems both are actually acceptable in Germany although after the number is preferred

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Interesting. Didnt know nor expected a whole wikipedia article about that topic alone....

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but this is specifically a dollar sign, and in every country that uses dollars, the $ goes before the number.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not in Canada.

The prices in French have the dollar sign at the end, while in English it's at the front.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

More accurately, in English the currency type precedes the number, regardless of what currency it is.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

And then there's whatever they do in India, where a comma indicates the thousands place, but then they put commas every two numbers....

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

not always. It's a combination of 3 spaces for some, and 2 for others.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

It is funny to see comments like these trying to find creative ways of being pedantic lol

I don't think I'd be happy if all my savings were reduced to $15.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

How about 15$ but you also have 24 hours left to live?

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ecstacy.

Some of my happiest times were rolling at a concert. Im empathetic, happy, social, and my anxiety is pretty much gone.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And as far as I don't go too far, the only down time I need to recover is the next 24 hours eating junk food and watching Netflix motionless in bed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh totally. Outside of a few festivals where I took it three nights in a row, typically I was only rolling at a show maybe once a month. I couldn't imagine doing it frequently or having an urge specifically to roll.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Buy some games on discount. I can easily get Fallout 4, or about 7-10 other games on steep discount. PC gaming is the best.

Stardew valley could bring you hundreds of hours if you already have something to play on

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Version 1.6 came out this year in March. It was super fun to start a new game, so much new content.

15 tacos for $15 dollars special

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

If it's like 100 tacos for $100, I think I could go for that right about now.
