You haven’t lived until you try snail sausage from the local Vietnamese market (got mine from a Banh Mi shop (forgive spelling)).

i had no idea that the crackers, meat, and cheese and maybe a couple pickle slices or olives i throw on a plate in the five minutes i get between remote meetings qualified as rich people food. someone please tell that to my bank balance and pay grade. $1.99 organic rice crackers and coupon-cost cheese forever, y’all.

Since it’s open to the rest of the living area,

“...it was ugly and tacky and glorified a less than mediocre fast food chain...”

to me this doesn’t even matter if you’re a man or a woman or whatever you identify as - it’s about compromise and support in a damn marriage. if he wants one part of his house (not just hers, his too) to look the way he wants, i think she needs to support that and get the eff over herself. especially given the…

Porsche was doing this a lot. Maybe not the engineer part but they were good-willing a lot of engines. We had several come through our dealership for the IMS thing and they were definitely trying to cover their asses.

Agree here. Liquidity is (should be) a big consideration in personal finances and is often downplayed in the comments here. With this or with very low interest loans you’re often much better to have the flexibility/peace of mind/options of keeping your hands on the cash.

People with poor credit?

You would think it would be this simple. But I bet they know they have a major problem and they would likely have to make someone an example and actually yank a license, which they probably don’t want to do because that also costs money, dings the brand, and distresses the shareholders.
