Or 24 Spanish language and home shopping channels.

I entered a photo contest for a local art gallery and I was told my the gallery director that since I didn’t have a fine arts background, I could enter in the contest but it would be an extremely slim chance that my photos would be selected. I guess it’s who you know.

Alaskans will vote for any candidate who proposes more guns.

I have a credit score in the 820s. I rent (homes are insanely expensive in my area) and I pay off my credit cards in full every month. The only problem is that my checking account flirts with zero after those cards are paid off. Great credit scores aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

The strip club that I used to visit in the 90s during business trips handed out receipts that didn’t indicate the type of establishment or the alcoholic beverages purchased. I remember the receipts had “lunch special” stamped on them.

Don’t ask vinyl lovers about CDs. Just don’t.

Drivers have become more angry and fearful of others both inside and out of their vehicles. Aggression, victory over competitors and steely toughness are prized in our society. Cars and trucks have changed to express those attitudes.

I was an early adopter of CDs in the mid-80s and sold (‘gave away’ is more accurate) 90% of my 70s & 80s classic rock, punk and indie records by 2001, thinking that analog audio was a rapidly-dying medium.

This article is quite welcome, as past Lifehacker columns have been promoting planting invasive species in gardens.

In 2018 I purchased a CPO 2015 Honda CR-V for $18k. I was recently divorced and broke so I financed the car for 60 months at 0.9% interest.

Kinda surprised that a raised Wrangler with giant knobby tires didn’t make the list. My bumper was hit by a teenager driving one in a parking lot last year and she kept going. When I pointed out what she did to my vehicle, she gave me a blank stare, paused and said “ohhhh, sorry.” I think she was high.

Sounds like my HS girlfriend. She wasn’t too impressed I was driving an Olds Cutlass Ciera so she soon became my ex.

Plenty of rich teens seem to be cruising around the suburbs in jacked-up Jeep Wranglers with LED light bars, winches and lots of other obnoxious aftermarket add-ons. When I was a teenager the meatheads enjoyed their IROC-Z cars. Now they dig Wranglers.

Sorry I can’t help but thinking of this:

The best way to invest in real estate is to inherit lots of money.

I understand that the length of car loans is getting longer, but where are all of these people getting money to pay insane prices for cars (and houses) right now? Did incomes jump by some crazy amount during the pandemic? I got a 2% raise this year and I’m happy I still have a job.

Only a VW hammer will do the trick, however. That’ll set you back $365.

Another bonus of viewing Instagram on the web is that you are not subject to the frequent advertisements that usually seem to be noisy auto-play videos.
