I remember eating peanut butter & butter sandwiches as a kid. But for some reason it just doesn’t seem appetizing at this point in my life. I think we got the idea from either my mother or grandmother as an example of something they ate when they were young and couldn’t afford a lot.

Yeah, he needs to get a dispenser if he still wants to supply free candy. Yes, there could still be an issue with the handle/button/actuator but people can get around that easily by using a tissue or napkin on their hand to activate the dispensing.

Well this actually would work if you pay off your card each month as well. You’re increasing the chance that the amount reported on the closing date is either zero, or closer to zero than it would be if you waited till the end of the monthly period to pay it off.

There’s no inconsistency. They are talking about two separate things. Paying weekly (or more frequently than once a month) is for folks who are carrying a balance and are unable to pay the entire amount off. Making payments earlier in the cycle reduces the average daily balance, which reduces the interest charged.

I wasn’t aware you could do a product change like that. The other way to handle this situation - if the issuer won’t swap you do a no fee card - is to close the card with fees and request a credit increase on another one of your cards. If you can increase your available credit on other cards by the same amount as the…

“And if you pay it off weekly, now you have four times you might end up with 0% usage.”

Nobody will be paying Nike anything, because Nike doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on.

Apparently that depends on where you are. I have heard that in some states the restaurant restrictions exempt those who can prove they were vaccinated. So for instance if restaurants are restricted to 50% capacity , that only applies to the unvaccinated (or those without proof). But vaccinated people don’t count…

You’re not wrong. But it’s more than just the people in charge at PBS. You have to keep in mind how anything gets funded there. Government money (through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting) has become a very small part of their funding. Most shows get funded by foundations and corporations, that get to put tags…

Yes. I’m sure there are fancier (more expensive) brands out there, but I’ve been using Kerrygold butter for a while, and it’s so much better. It’s more expensive, but it’s well worth it.

In upstate NY we have Mr. Ding-A-Ling. And no, I’m not making that up. Though it does make for some good headlines, like when one is arrested for stalking little kids:

I thought the whole video read as mocking NFTs.

“I will admit i have NO idea who Morpheus was there. Because he... kinda looked like Dr. Dre in the original video?”

That’s because the vast majority of the world’s Muslims are not white. They aren’t Arabic either. Indonesia is the most populous Muslim country in the world. Only 20% of the world’s Muslims live in Arabic countries. Most of the world’s Muslims live in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia.

Actually, I’m told in gay parlance “son” is the correct term. The older man in a gay May-December relationship is the “daddy,” which is obviously just a shortened version of the term “sugar daddy.” And the younger one is the “son.”

Octopuses aren’t the only blue-blooded animals. Horseshoe crabs also have blue blood. Actually, horseshoe crabs are not crabs or even crustaceans - they are more closely related to spiders.

This is something that your employer’s payroll department should be able to easily figure out for you. It’s one of the things they’re there for!

It’s only an issue if there is a lease. And even if there is a lease, many landlords will insert clauses with language to the effect that “in the event of a sale the lease can be terminated early.” Though you are usually required to give something like 30 day notice. Those clauses are added specifically for these…

I’ve never had that problem. But that could be because I always put my open backing soda box inside a zip-top bag with as much of the air squeezed out as I can get. I just figured I’d be better off doing that to keep it fresher, and keep out any kitchen humidity.

Oh, I don’t know. It could have been injurious, depending on its size and where he tried to put it. I’d like to see him try to explain that at the ER!
