For perspective, you’ll be paying over $1000/year in gasoline (assuming 20mpg, $2.50/gal, 10k miles)

The first mistake is assuming the cat will fall for the decoy.

That’s really neat,

Does this block include the unrelated auto-playing videos in the Lifehacker/Gizmodo articles?

You don’t need to turn your phone off to swap SIM’s, reboot if the phone is misbehaving or won’t connect to LTE on the expected network in good service areas.

Be warned, popups about iMessage is going to spam all of your other iDevices about the number update with every SIM swap. Multiple feedback sent to Apple to get…

Why can’t airlines be mandated by regulatory acronyms to set a standard advertised price that includes total airfare?

You want our new $70 flight to Buffalo?
Don’t forget to add:
$50 in misc undisclosed shady fees
$50 in processing fees
$20 in booking fees
$30 to get a seat
$70 return ticket
etc.

Starting out with - “You illiterate pineapple” is not always guaranteed success... got it!

My pet peeve is that booking sites like Kayak, Kiwi, Skyscanner, etc. will get you by overcharging for checked bags. I don’t mind paying a small reasonable fee to check a bag, but the 3rd party sites are sneaky by hiding that information from you and upcharging massively for it.

Delta - $25
Kiwi - $85

Needless to say,…

This one is going to be nuts! My personal preference is to engage in good civil discussion with people on who the best candidate will be.

I want to stop the popovers that say - “Enter your email here for latest updates”

Twitter suspended my other account for violating the impersonation rule even though I only posted original content.

The best transmission is one from a plug-in hybrid (or fully electric car)

That really sucks... but I have my own dropbox, it’s called a Synology and it’s loaded with 16TB worth of drives.

We need to take a stand and say enough is enough!
Data plans are way too expensive as-is and tacking on ancillary fees needs to be severely punished by a regulatory acronym.

From another Skillet/Lifehacker article - Never use a burger press or squish the patties to keep the burger moist.

I wish rebooking “fees” weren’t a thing to begin with.
In general, it would be nice to have the offer of flexible dates and then commit when the time gets closer, if a winter storm wrecks everything, then the commit is unlocked and you’re assigned the next available plane to get home.

For perspective, I tried to rent…

Capital One Venture is my preferred travel card and their redemption rate is still the same as it was 10 years ago - Ex: 20,000 points/miles = $200

I use it as a passive savings and redeem some extra miles on the occasional hotel or train ride. Once they started offering Purchase Eraser, it allowed me to easily discoun…

Back in the times of yesteryear, when AFV was still new and genuinely hilarious, my friend had to get his appendix out.

Buying an electric car/plug in hybrid is by far my biggest and best purchase, they are very efficient, quick, and about $200/year to charge with 1/3rd of the maintenance is required compared to a gas car.
