USAA has been my go to bank since I was an E-3. They keep their credit card interest rates VERY low compared to lots of other cards I’ve gotten. Instead of a separate department for military members, it’s the whole bank. Navy federal, Pentagon something or other, and other financial institutions are set up for us, and…

1) Don’t tell them.

That’s why you go for the AppleCare Card Plus X.

MSM’s a new one. 

It may not be what the country was founded on, but it’s definitely what the country was colonized on.  It was founded on being critical of your government and demanding flaws get fixed.  People who like the status quo (or think we’re as good as it gets) tend to not like boat rocking from introspection.

Send your farts to 555 Westwood lane.  Please use glass jars as plastic tends to foul them.

I had a buddy have that happen... 18-19 years ago? It was some parody Amish porn site (unless you’re really in to ankles). He got out of it by having them go to the website to prove it wasn’t porn.  I think it’s gone and replaced with the real thing. Very sad.

Until then, you can still go to http://www.furnitureporn.com…

The first step is to recognize your overpriced crap is failing before the warranty is up. Apple products are so “perfect” that an unnerving amount of people think that they’re at fault, not the iWhatever.

I used to work at a cell phone store. It really happens with the zombies.

You’re not going to convince anybody here. The best thing to do use the list as a reverse investment guide, take any money you make, and address the reasons why women seek abortions in the first place.

I’d start by getting pro-life people to think of invitro and other fertility methods as selfish. That’d help get more…

I miss Japanese ramen.  A lot of places stand by their broth and get their noodles from somebody else.  The fancy places that make their own?  Great.  I used to love s certain udon shop for that.  Still, the toppings (wood ear mushrooms, for example) and broth (I miss Hakata style) really stood out more than the…

The original was waaaaaay too deep in the uncanny valley.  

I guess we have to hope for 1332 for double damnation.

Alita and her eyes.  They changed them and fans were much happier.

The golden ring of hell.

The worst part about eating good ramen is leaving it. I still don’t eat restaurant ramen, and it’s been 15 years since I left Japan. Udon is my go to as the thickness and flavor of the noodle seems easier to replicate stateside. The other issue is toppings, as it is very hard to find places with the right veg mix.…

Hot coffee vending machines on snowing days were one of my favorite things up in Aomori.

iTape, $20/square inch.  

SMART Check your hard drive through the BIOS. It'll be faster than using a utility.  A failing hard drive can make everything super slow and needs to be felt with ASAP.

It does beg the question of why Anime Roshi isn’t tanner...

I have to say they mixed motorball in well in terms of story and logic. I can absolutely see Vector arranging for that type of fix to cover his tracks, and it just plays off of need for money (street scum or sports/gambling?).

I’m glad she matured a bit more at the end. It kinda of threw me off with her teen tantrums,…
