I too learned cursive & checkbook balancing in grade school, but about the only time I’ve ever use cursive is on the occasional check, and for my signature. Also never saw the point of balancing a checkbook, partly because it’s all digital now, and partly because I’ve always been fortunate enough to have a high enough…

Don’t go searching for relatives’ donations unless you’re prepared to be disappointed...

I skipped my 6-month cleaning, and won’t be returning to my regular dentist since their office was never well-ventilated, with a portable A/C unit next to the chair.

I have a better calculator: Take the EARLY SS BENEFITS IF: 1) You don’t expect your QUALITY of life to last much longer (because of family history, health problems, etc.); 2) You do expect Republicans to gut the safety net.

You should trash your brand new non-stick pan. Teflon is toxic.

Didn’t you hear? The first wave is now under control! On the SAME exact day that Trump ordered hospitals to stop reporting data to the CDC and instead send it to the WhiteHouse controlled HHS, the cases numbers sharply declined by statistical impossibilities. Exactly what we thought would happen. Why hasn’t the MSM…

What inflation? We’re currently experiencing the opposite (deflation) because it’s obviously NOT the case that there’s too much money chasing too few goods & services (‘cept maybe TP, masks, and chlorox). The fed can get away with printing money to stimulate consumption until such a point that we reach productive…

NordVPN. Worth it.

No. The grant is automatic; the loan is optional.

Pretty much ANYONE who made ANY money not from regular employment (a W2) qualifies for this $1,000 EIDL grant. Ebay, Etsy, Uber, gave a friend a non-sexual massage for $20? — it all counts, and the vast majority of businesses in the US are sole proprietorships in the owner’s name. The corporate elites raided the fed…

Why do this when suspend and resume is much much faster and more convenient? I rarely ever shutdown and only reboot once in a while when necessary.

Free fake-summer lifehack: 1) Fill a spray bottle with water, a teaspoon of salt, and a little sunscreen. 2) Print out a relaxing picture of the ocean and tape it to the wall. 3) Tell little Johnny or Jill to take a gander at the photo, then have him close his eyes while you spritz his 5 senses with the fake-summer…

Just take the burn like nature intended it and it’ll go away on its own. It’s not that bad; it’s even fun pulling off the layers of deadskin and eating it! (Joking!... Or am I?)

DNA isn’t all that different from fingerprints, except that we probably leave more identifying DNA evidence everywhere. So why is forced fingerprinting legal?

Expiring soon: Unemployment benefits, a one-time $1,200 crumb, eviction bans, and mortgage forbearance (up to 12 months). The stock market may have snapped back to all-time highs in record time — due to trillions in free fed printing press money — but the real mainstreet economy isn’t so lucky. Unless Congress passes…

Right now everyone should be OUT of the market (or short). The market is already back to all-time highs due mostly to the fed printing press, which is so disconnected from mainstreet reality. It’s a DeadCatBounce before reality hits.

Who said doing research prior to in-person voting is impossible? No one. It is definitely harder to remember all the dozens of candidates, but not impossible. I simply said that doing research on MY SCHEDULE, at home, while filling out the mail-in ballot was BETTER. More time to make informed choices.

So happens that just today I received and filled out my first ever (absentee) ballot for NYC’s primary elections. LOVED IT, and I’ll never go back to in-person polling places, even after the covid19 vaccine is available.

Or, don’t buy anything, and just wait for the low-demand deflationary spiral we’re currently in to put everything on an even deeper sale in a few more months.

My 2% cashback card isn’t going anywhere, and is the only “reward” card I care about.
