Is there any possibility that this could at least shoot them in the foot? On the one hand, every single case could be appealed because they could argue it was done for the quota, with a bonus of their statistic getting screwed. And on the other hand, the judges who were doing 1500 might decide that they can slow their…

30 years ago - maybe. But now all you need is the account number and voila, Paypal, Venmo, Zello, or whatever else is out there gives you access, no bank trip required. Some systems may use credit cards (like Apple or Android Pay), but they might have a legitimate need to access those (like to purchase storage and…

He just didn’t pay any attention to budgets or expenses - so long as he paid a minimum on several credit cards, he kept buying things and living beyond his means - and since we were older and more established when we got married, he was able to not bring up his debt until a year or so afterwards (because we never…

That’s what I mean by “they may have enough other areas of compatibility that they can figure out ways to work around it” - i.e. if they’re compatible otherwise then they’ll put in the legwork to figure out how to make the finances work too. I do not think it’s done ‘easily’ in most cases but focus on the joint…

Coworkers go on LinkedIn, duh

Yeah, that can work if both people are on the same page with how they deal with money/finances, but some couples aren’t (they may have enough other areas of compatibility that they can figure out ways to work around it). It has nothing to do with being ‘well educated,’ it has to do with their history and attitude…

Yeah, that would help balance it out, but unfortunately no. He tends to jump on bandwagons (like ‘I just enrolled for this improv class’ - well, okay, but that’s going to eat up two nights a week for six weeks, so how will that be reciprocated - so the chores get to be distributed from when he’s gone, or so I get a…

This only works if each person is making enough money to have something left over after living expenses, utilities/bills, and a portion for emergency funds and savings are set aside. Otherwise, the irresponsible person will dip into the joint account and/or expect their partner to float them for things and negate the…

After I got married, I found out that my husband was over 25k in debt. I was fortunate to be in a situation where I had the means to pay it off, and I had him sign a contract to pay me back with interest (figure the interest should go to us and not the bank). But since then, he’s not always paid me enough back each…

You should also check out the artists’ Web site/social media accounts. Sometimes they’ll have forums or discussions where fans who can’t go will list their tickets, and they’re more liable to give a deal to someone they think is a loyal fan. Ideally, you should follow any bands before tickets go on sale, as they might…

There are also some Peach and Raspberry Coke flavors out now that could be interesting...

So this and Bill Cunningham were both questions/answers on HQ recently. Does that mean we’re getting an article on bird’s nest soup too?

That’s not at all what this article was about though. This is about NOT having a latte, flat white, or espresso, but finding something to be similar to ‘crappy drip/instant coffee’ instead.

‘Accidentally using insure instead of ensure...’

These have been around for ages (Starbucks started carrying this model over 4 months ago, and other brands have been kicking around since at least 2014), but one review explained the tech: “It looks like many people think that this is a battery operated/heated mug – not an unreasonable assumption since you do, after…

LR needs to decide if they want to have friends or if they want to have a small amount of ‘rent’ coming in, because they’re not going to have both for much longer. ‘Friends’ that take advantage of kindness will continue to exploit you until both parties resent each other. And that’s exactly what this ‘tenant’ is doing…

Breakfast (bacon, eggs, potatoes, coffee) is $2-3 (sometimes cheaper with the free IKEA Family membership), which means you can take the savings from what you’d normally pay for breakfast and get something fun! (Plus - if it’s close enough, you can always just go to eat)

Egg bites, but you might want to do it after ordering some silicone egg forms first. Apparently the Starbucks ones use Cottage Cheese, but a lot of recipes use cream cheese instead...

I’ve used this - it works pretty well with two major downsides - one, it’s hard to get the perspective to match, so objects can show up at a weird angle. Two, you need to place a scannable item (either their code or a dollar-sized currency) on the wall where you want the object to be viewed - so in my instance, when I…
