I've never heard of a place charging a fee for a debit transaction that didn't charge as much or more for credit. Debit transactions cost the merchant a significant amount less than credit. I've seen several smaller stores with signs such as "transaction minimum - debit: $10 credit: $15".

If it's a party that is too adult-themed for your children to participate until they are tired, then it's probably not appropriate to have that kind of party while children are in the house at all (they're not deaf or blind just because you think they're asleep in their room). Designate an adults-only area if you're

Unless you've used a debit card at a store that gets breached. That can really fuck you well and good if someone empties you out, even if it all gets replaced in a week.

Like you alluded to in your last sentence, this doesn't mean "good cheap furniture click here!!11!! Pretend like you're rich!" Thrift stores in affluent areas are a business just like any other, and typically understand the value of their inventory and charge accordingly. It's not uncommon to see a "gently used"

But the house has to be thickly carpeted and devoid of light. If it's tile or wood you can just slide your feet around to avoid stepping on them.

People are sick and don't need a "real" reason to do things like this. I know a person who poisoned a neighbor's dog because it barked all day and all night. To her credit, all legal avenues were exhausted and the dog was likely being neglected (I was there a lot - former friend - and in all weather the dog was out

What? That's like 400 miles tops, i.e. 2 tanks of gas for a really inefficient vehicle, being split 2 ways. If your female friends don't believe their blowjobs to be worth more than ~$40 worth of gas (combined with the >0% risk of being raped and murdered by a random CL person), I don't believe that's a blowjob I'd

Most likely - he was seeding on a P2P network and the police got the IP address there. As a distant second, it's possible he was downloading from a monitored server that was compromised by the police department's IT team or from a "honeypot" server which is fully owned and intentionally set up by them as a trap.

That just seems disingenuous and kids will quickly catch on to that game. Just a shift in perspective - I'm not storing it in my closet, Best Buy is storing it in theirs. This gives the added benefit that there is no chance you will find it by sneaking around and digging in secret places in my room or attic, because

This is the problem with Santa as a disciplinary tool. Santa gives the shitty gifts like clothes, but mom and dad give the awesome ones like games and toys.

Nickelback's sound is strikingly similar to Puddle of Mudd - also popular during that time and generally regarded well by the public, if at all - with a little more studio-polish. I bet that a contributing reason for the hate is that Chad Kroeger is unbearably ugly especially compared to Wes Scantlin (PoM) or any

I think I'm begrudgingly with you on this one. The tracks that make it onto mainstream radio are fucking AWFUL to most and mediocre at best if you don't really like rock music.

I always just assumed they had an open (if private) relationship, given the separate houses and all - seems like such a perfect arrangement that way, why ruin it with pointless monogamy?

The "voicemail" system at my office just forwards a WAV file to my email address. Best of both worlds really - sometimes the caller is not in a position to compose an email or text (e.g. driving, no data service and using a landline, or in a rush), and this way no storage space is taken other than on the email server,

At least he got to make his statement. As a veteran shit-stirrer, I will advise that if you're going to do something that is sure to cause grief to important people (even by way of unimportant ones), you need to absolutely mind your p's and q's. Zoning and other local ordinances always have a way of derailing grand

I agree wholeheartedly. My first instinct whenever I see an algorithm - or really any attempt to solve any problem with variable input - is "how can I break this?" and my second instinct is "how can I use it for nefarious purposes?"

"what he really wanted to know was why we were using loogies and not straight snot, because loogies 'just steam off on the flattop, while snot holds its shape and texture better'"

I agree $10 a month isn't bad if you use it and it works for your lifestyle and habits.

Ignoring people that pay and don't go to gyms, I still don't get why the majority of people who do go to gyms for health purposes (as opposed to psychological feel good, social, see & be seen) actually go. If the goal is to lose weight or tone up, body weight exercises - maybe with a stability ball and a kettle bell

I assume you're going in January (new year resolutions) and mid-May-mid-June (swimsuit season prep) and no other time. That was pretty standard when I was a member of gyms like this. Attendance falls off remarkably outside of those months.
