I’ve actually asked those a-holes a few times why they don’t move away from the door. #1 answer: “*shrug* fvck you. #2 answer: afraid they’ll get stuck in the meat crowd too far from the door and miss their stop.

Glad I got the chance to switch my claim preference last night to the 4-years(IIRC?) of free credit reporting. The $125 will surely be whittled down to a cup of coffee after all the press it got.

IMO, The best thing we can do about this mess is to buy plant and cell-based cultured meat like Impossible burgers instead. Once it’s cheaper than “natural beef”, the positive effects will snowball.

I don’t care about the APR, because I have never and will never pay for carrying a balance. ZERO balance. Every month. Since 1995. I suppose if I’m in a coma I might miss a payment, though...

The downside of using fake license activators, though — such as the infamous KMSpico — is that besides technically being illegal, they all get flagged by antivirus software, including Microsoft’s own, so you need to specifically whitelist/unquarantine it all the time. Probably less of a headache for most people to

That’s because the headline unemployment rate is extremely misleading, and those in power know it. It’s only “low” because we have millions of people forced to now work multiple part-time no-benefit jobs just to stay above water, while at the same time the participation rate is also at multi-decade lows.

What good is a $15/hr job when automation is increasingly killing off human jobs? Mandating a higher federal minimum will also accelerate the automation trend because it’ll give business a more urgent incentive to reduce their “cost of labor.”

Any neck-contoured memory foam pillow gets my vote. They’re all pretty much the same. It’s hard sleeping on regular mystery-stuffing pillows after you’ve tried contoured foam pillows.

The cost/benefit of sunscreen isn’t worth it in my view. And it has nothing to do with being “manly.

I’m happy to see that 80% of my fellow meatbags will choose cremation by the next decade VS ye olde waste-of-space-and-money cemetery burial. I’m guessing this has more to do with people being poorer these days than just changing attitudes?

As a Linux user, I still prefer using PushBullet.

Following links from Feedly.com’s RSS feeds also gets around a lot of paywalls, including the New York Times. Unfortunately, this only works on the desktop version of Chrome for some reason; using the Feedly android app on my phone still limits me to 5 articles/mo.

I have dozens of bands made from all kinds of materials — metal, nylon, perlon, canvas, real rubber, fake rubber, leather, suede, ... — and I clean them all the same way every 1 to 3 months: a little warm water and dish soap worked in with either my fingers or a toothbrush. Let it dry for a few hours, and then it goes

In NYC, we’re lucky enough to have some competition (between RCN and TimeWarner/Spectrum mainly), so instead of threatening to cancel, I’ve found that it’s just been easier to switch every 2 years to reset my “new customer promo discount” back to year zero.

It’s 2019 and NYC real estate brokers still take a 6% commission. We have the internet now; we don’t need their proprietary Multiple Listing Service; I don’t understand why way more people aren’t doing ForSaleByOwner to save themselves tens of thousands of dollars on average.

Does anyone keep track of how often these stores refuse to honor their free food days? As in, using the promo for free advertising, but claiming to already be out of inventory at 9am. The variances between rich/poor neighborhoods would be interesting to see too.

Even if you’re NOT renting your cable modem anymore, it’s still a good idea to buy a better one outright — like an Arris — because the “free” modem provided by most cable ISPs tend to suck.

Uber’s just trying to maintain their marketshare long enough for autonomous cars to remove the labor cost. Then they’re viable.
