I saw the Breakfast Club again recently and I thought it held up pretty well to a rewatch. The parts that are problematic are supposed to be problematic. But, I bet it wouldn’t resonate with a modern teenager.

I’ll drop in 2:

If you’re going to have a heading called “What is considered an impulse purchase” you might consider actually delving into the details and not just have a parenthetical definition of “unplanned”.

How is investing your HSA any better than just increasing your 401k contribution?

I don’t think it even functionally exists. The problem is that, as far as I know, there is no algorithm that would let the library find a page that contains the searched for text. To do that they would have to randomly create pages until they got lucky, which is, in fact the problem the librarians have in the story.

Except that, as far as I can tell, it’s not. The library’s “pages” aren’t generated until you initiate a search. So there are no pages in the library that have not been searched for.

I don’t mind a good scary thriller, but I hate gory movies.  Do that list.

Rocky Horror is a farce on 1950s Sci Fi movies.

Makes me want to go dig out a bunch of my dad’s old slides and show them what a slide deck really looks like.

Yes, well in proportional fonts most spaces and periods are less than an en wide and they visually benefit from two spaces. The only reason the web doesn’t use two spaces is because Tim Berners-Lee decided to strip out whitespaces in html to make the code readable, not because of proportional fonts. IBM Typewriters…

We had a lights out time.  The thing immediately before lights out was story time.  The longer the stall, the less time for the stories.

No, 380 is 146% of 260 no “a little”

Some of your numbers don’t match up.

If you narrow your browser window the slideshow will all show up on a single page.

I want to thank the person who posted last week about reshaping the window so that all of the slides show up on the same page.

The fact that it’s the SSN doesn’t matter. There would be a number, whether you know what it is or not, that all of the credit and identity services would use to identify you and correlate all of the data they have about you. If SSN hadn’t been there the banks or the credit agencies would have created one and…

In French wouldn’t you say something like C’est pas mon metier for the same expression?

In the Lord Peter Wimsey stories by Dorothy L. Sayers, Peter would occasionally tell his man to “buttle off somewhere”. So, I do think that was a thing.

If you want chocolate popcorn:

You’d have to really do the math. If you put the monthly payment into investments you’d make up the initial cost of the house in maybe 15 years (If the payment on a 300,000 house is $2000/mo, it would take 12.5 years to catch up with the initial cost) so you’d have to figure out if you’d get enough gain on the extra…
