Right, except there’s probably no basement since most houses in FL are built on concrete slabs.

As a longtime Galaxy S user, I have a hunch some of the resistance to recent Android OS updates is due to Samsung’s insistence that we utilize the annoying, useless, and clumsy Bixby tool on our phones. When Pie was rolled out, it overrode the ability we had to completely disable Bixby, turning the button, located…

Is not that scary hole an X-Ray machine?  Sure looks like it.  No mention in the story but all checked bags are X-rayed just as carryons are.

This post begs for a link to one of Assateague Island National Seashore’s horses’ response to a speedo-clad tourist who thought it was a good idea to pet any horse (feral or domestic) on the rump without making proper introductions first:

Bonk!

This contraption looks a lot like the vacuum cleaner bags that go with my Kirby. Minus the vacuum, of course, which could have been quite helpful in the absence of gravity.  The part where you put your fingers to “assist” is known as the finger cot.

All my adult life I’ve had the bad luck of living in places (Atlantic provinces, several New England states, Alaska) where beer cannot be sold in supermarkets. Not sure how to vote!

Security’s true motive was obviously to sabotage the impending marriage. Because you know what comes next . . . can’t have these people reproducing and sullying our pure White paradise!

In neighboring Connecticut they complain about stuff leaking down from the ceiling in the ground floor restaurant: https://thetakeout.com/decomposing-body-closes-restaurant-connecticut-1835414080

It is simply not credible for any entity to assert that all data it collects is immediately and completely deleted. It’s also impossible to verify this assertion.

If you think people are getting more disgusting, you should see what hygiene was like for our ancestors. Yet somehow we survived!

1) Brushing my teeth after 12 hours and several meals is not optional.

You’ve obviously never lived in a place that is very cold (I live in Alaska) and traveled to one that is hot and humid (my DH was domiciled in Hong Kong for a while; plus I grew up in Australia and visited US-based grandparents in the northern hemisphere winter). I’m not wearing shorts or a sundress to ANC from…

I commented on this obvious mistake, too. No correction, and my post is greyed out. Same thing on a story about a criminal where the writer got the name wrong. I am starting to think that Lifehacker “writers” are rank amateurs, not real journalists.

I have never carried credit card debt. If I don’t have the money, I don’t buy stuff. https://snltranscripts.jt.org/05/05lbuy.phtml

I live in our most earthquake-prone state and experienced the 7.1 quake last November, plus many others (not the largest earthquake in North America, on 27 March 1964, though — I was living in a suburb of Chicago at the time). I keep lots of water stashed around the house, have a ton of backpacking equipment (dried foo…

Or the Quixotic crusade for our 4th Amendment rights . . .

Not with my Alaska DL, they’re not! (However, because I’m a retired fed with a military dependent ID, the gov’t already has several photos of me along with ink and digital fingerprints. Not my DNA yet, but that will probably come some day soon.)

You and I must be the only two people left who opt out of “advanced imaging” [sic] each and every time we fly. Which for me is quite a lot. I’ll be opting out of facial recognition as well. What could possibly go wrong wit this great new system, already known to function poorly for the majority of humans, i.e. those wh…

I’m guessing you meant to write that you could meet at the BUYER’s bank and see them withdraw the purchase cash in front of you. It doesn’t make sense the other way around.
