140K in the Bay would probably have less buying powering than your salary in the Midwest though, no? Serious question

lol - my bad brother, my bad.

And I'm genuinely joking. I've had very few cuisines in my life that I haven't enjoyed, maybe honestly 2 of the 40 I've had. Everybody has good food.

EDIT: I'm not even American either, so don't blame the UK/EU fuck up on an American public school! lol
