I came over with the initial reddit defector wave. I loved it here. You could have civil conversations, even when you disagreed with someone else. It honestly felt like the forums of the early 2000s again. Then it started getting more aggressive, and all the “well…aksually” type replies started happening. I find myself hardly on lemmy/kbin/beehaw anymore because of it.
Hands down one of the worst “feature” of new vehicles IMO. If you need help on a hill, either use the parking brake like everyone else, learn to drive better, or just drive an auto.
Yes, I have never owned anything else. I really struggle to drive auto/CVT, honestly, it’s so confusing for me.
Early 40s. Murica.
You can also gift something like 12 million in your lifetime tax free, so pass on as much as you can, to your family that way, before you die.
If you don’t keep all your money in 1 bank accounts the FDIC insurance will cover it. Iirc it’s either 250k per account, or maybe it was per person, per institution.
Maybe I’m dumb, but if I go buy property in Mexico (for instance) and the government decides to take it, or I stop paying on it, or run out of money, I don’t get any protections for my money. I can’t file for bankruptcy and keep my money safe. I gambled and lost.
Why do non American companies/people have the opportunity to file for bankruptcy as protection in a country they aren’t beholden to the rules of?

You’re not alone. There are a lot of people in your position. As others have said, it may make sense to set reasonable goals, and give yourself a small reward when you pay off a card or reach another milestone you set.
As someone else said, pay minimums on everything, except the smallest card, where you put all the disposable income toward. That will get paid off quickest, and then you move to the next smallest. The only way I can think of this being a bad plan is if you have a large debt with a significantly higher interest rate, in which case pay as much to that as you can, then move down the line.
I’m genuinely curious, and I’m not trying to start an argument, but why do you think that OP should pay for the cab ride home? I’m going to assume the woman was not an escort, that she went to OP’s place of her own accord, and was a willing participant. So my questions is why is it seen as the “right thing to do” to give her money to get home?
I ask this as a woman, who would never assume that I didn’t need to figure my own shit out, after a night of partying, because it’s my responsibility. I get it is probably the nice thing to do, maybe, but even then, she theoretically had fun too.
Paying for sex is negotiated ahead of time. Always.
If I had some fun with a random dude, and he asked me for money after (without any discussion beforehand), I’d laugh in his face. Largely because, um what, but also because that’s not my thing.
I maintain that they are tiny dinosaurs. Adorable tiny dinosaurs, but dinosaurs none the less.
Also, don’t forget about how loud they are. They can hit some notes that I’m not sure kids can.
I have made friends with a salmon crested cockatoo, he’s in his mid 50s, and awesome. So yeah, they live forever.
I totally don’t miss all the flashing shit, and awful music on every site. Nor do I miss super long load times, but I do miss the more personal feeling. I also miss feeling like every click wasn’t someone trying to get me to give them my money, or steal my info. Don’t get me wrong, there were toxic parts of the internet back then, but I feel like its everywhere now.
Oh, and I’ll never miss that dial up sound, or dropping because someone picked the phone up. I also know popups and ads existed back then, but I feel like every site I go to now, I spend at least 45 seconds trying (often unsuccessfully) to close all the pop up and ads, just to attempt to read an article. Of course more pop up if you scroll to keep reading too.
Basically, I mostly agree with the article.
Libby is an online library, so you can borrow books from them. They also have audio books. All you need is a library card (which iirc you can sign up through libby).
You can read the books in the libby app itself (not bad, maybe a little clunky) or if you use something like a Kindle, you can have it sent to that, and read like normal. I believe it does others than kindle, but that’s what I use, so that’s all i know.
Not only is attempted murder of a cop. It’s on fucking video. There is literal undisputed (can’t wait for the deep fake, or AI generated fake vid defenses incoming) proof he did it.
IMO anything with that horrible foam (most shoes at this point) is going to last a year TOPS. In fact, running shoes with foam, are supposed to be limited to around 300 miles.
If you are talking about something like a half cab, that has the standard vans soles, yeah, I agree quality has gone down some (same with those new chuck 70s). They feel cheaper, and are made from far cheaper materials.
Personally, I have tons of shoes that are decades old, and still going, but I do not own any shoes with foam (mostly chuck taylors). And I’m apparently not very hard on shoes, somehow.
I think the unfortunate reality is you’ll have to buy some expensive, high quality shoes, or expect to throw shoes out yearly.
There are companies like this one who claim to resole running shoes, but I don’t know how far they can/do go, and have never used them before.
I’d guess the change on cervical exam was the nurse/doctor that did it. But as we get older, there is less natural lubrication (probably why they use gallons of lube on the speculum). If it happens next time, mention it to the doc/nurse. They can give suggestions for making it less painful (assuming they don’t suck, and tell you it’s all in your head). IIRC where you are in your cycle can also play a role (don’t quote me on that).
To answer your original questions, I think they generally get more invasive, so yeah, but as technology has improved, exams have become far less awful overall.
Totally. As I said, I always knew the answer. In fact, I said it on the place that shall not be named, and all the seat pissers all got their panties in a bunch. Which got them all trying to flame me.
Still gross.
Already know the answer, but how do women even possibly piss on the toilet seat? It SHOULD be physically impossible, unless I’m an idiot and doing it wrong.
Yup. Apple Watch for me. It works mostly seamlessly with the rest of my Apple stuff. I don’t think any others do.
Thanks!!!
Funny enough. We just built two SR20VET engines. And even funnier, they were both going into roadsters. Neither guy knows each other, we didn’t suggest the combo. Just a coincidence.
We’ve done a few 510s with SR20DE/DET engines now. We actually do a lot of SR engines, both VE/VET and DE/DET.
We’ve done L series too, but I can’t think of a KA we’ve done that ended up in a 510. Usually they stay in an S chassis.
We also built an SR20 that ended up in a 300XZ. Yeah…… I still question the thought process behind that one.
Unrelated, we also built a VQ35 for Dai Yoshihara in 3 days. Moto-IQ did an article about that one too.
Sadly no. I guess it’s a good thing. I’m just not on any social media much now.
