No. It was was last year that they bought the team. It was just yesterday that the article was published where they explained why.

It is a fact that above ground pools will not increase the value of your property. This is due to the fact that they are temporary structures to begin with. And it can reduce the value of the home. So if you’re planning to sell, it might be a good idea to take down any above ground pool first.

Also, your insurance company will insist that you take certain steps when you install a pool that will reduce your chance of incurring liability. This is why nearly every pool is in a yard with a privacy fence around it. It’s not (just) so the owners can skinny-dip. It’s so other people can’t see the pool and be…

Yeah, even back when I was a little kid in the ‘70s, it seemed weird that on TV shows people were expected to invite their bosses home for dinner. Yet I’d never heard of that in real life.

And you tied an onion to your belt, which was the style at the time...

Same here. I’ve never even had a Slurpee! But it’s just a shaved ice, right?

It comes out of the microwave rubbery if you heat it up on high. But if you heat it on a lower setting (on mine I use the med/low setting, between medium and low) it comes out perfect.

It all depends on whether you are referring to, “the time after which people became illiterate morons,” in which case “since” is correct. Or, “due to the fact that people are illiterate morons,” in which case “because” would be preferable.

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.
