I cancel it every time I take the “30-day free” offer. It’s rare that I need something in a hurry, but when I do I’ll take the offer, set a reminder on my phone, and cancel it before it bills me the first time. Don’t really need or use any of the other services it has so it doesn’t have much value for me.

Because Ms. Swift knows how to mobilize and weaponize her fan base. If she were to say, “Hey, guys, I’m done with Twitter and I’m deleting my account; see you on Insta!” there is a non-zero chance Melon would lose 10m+ accounts in a week. Possibly more. Her Swifties are as rabid as they are loyal, and when roused they…

ND, but just barely. Drop the ask to 15 and it’d be NP.

driving negligently, recklessly, and furiously

When taking pictures of your vehicle for sale, you want to impress upon the potential buyer the experience they’ll have with the vehicle with the venue you choose as a backdrop for the photos.

“If he would have stopped, he would be with us today.”

Depending, yeah. I mean, I preload but my monthly spend is roughly the same as the preload amount, so either way I’ll be paying the same amount from the CC every cycle anyway. Might as well get some benefit out of it, and a “free” bonus coffee (which tips the scales at “over twice the retail cost of my regular choice”…

If you’re in their rewards program you receive double the reward points if you use their card with preloaded money rather than a straight debit or credit card. That’s the only reason, though. That dynamic probably makes their defense more difficult instead of easier.

The biggest character departure for him, imo, was his appearance in Tropic Thunder. It remains the only movie I’ve seen him in where I didn’t know it was him--everything else has been “oh, look, it’s Tom Cruise as Tom Cruise playing ____ in ____.”

If it’s designed to process multiple vehicles at once (which seems likely), the time savings comes from the next vehicle not having to wait as long for its turn to enter.

This all day. If the ask had been, say, 12k the NPOND discussion would have been lively indeed. It’d squeak NP at 12k with a good inspection, I’d bet.

The getaway car is pretty much a ‘71 Chevelle (minus the side markers) at the front and a ‘72 Cutlass at the rear. Easy to blend ‘em since they’re from the same family. Seems someone or someones on the Rockstar crew had a Hot Wheels Picture Maker Car Designer Set as a kid and loved it a lot. Plus the whole “don’t have…

These are the best kinds of NPONDs, because rationality goes out the window and it boils down to a simple question: Do I feel lucky, or do I not? If I felt lucky I would view the plentiful red flags on display here as simple fixes that just look worse than they are, and I could get this thing streetable and/or…

Exactly. I have yet to see any Shelby product, prototype or otherwise, that didn’t have his name on it somewhere.

The billionaire thinks

They’re not supporters, they’re disciples.

and so far, no one has been able to explain admitted why it took so long for the Jackson Police Department to notify Dexter’s family of his death

I laughed at first, but then I thought... y’know, it really wouldn’t surprise me.

Long-time gamers know this name very well. He carved a swath of destruction through EA and he’s pretty much solely responsible for EA’s reputation to this day. I had no idea he was Unity’s CEO but when I saw his name I knew exactly why it went the way it did--this kind of money-grubbing destruction is precisely what…
