For the night charging, I have a smart plug.  Using IFTTT I have the smart plug turn off when the phone reaches 100%.  I wake up and my phone is between 90 and 100 every time.  Perfect!

You’ve apparently never eaten at back yard burgers.  Go have one, then come back and I’ll accept your apology.

I’m from KC.  I’m not used to having to open a tab to eat.  To drink?  yes.  That’s pretty common.  And maybe because she’s in the bar area they treat her as a ‘drinker.’  I think there are two reasons they do this.  It’s to keep you from leaving without paying for your drinks, and it’s easier for the waitstaff to add…

But why are they doing this? Is there lyrics in the song that say ‘jump out of your car and dance?’  Like, at least tell me there’s at least some reason (good or bad) that at least puts some sense to this.  No, I have not listened to the song.

There is no cheddar cheese on that burger so it is therefore terrible.

While working on Chrysler’s connected vehicle program I got to meet Sergio. We were a bunch of telecom techs just starting to learn about the internal communications of vehicles (CAN buses, OBD, etc). It didn’t hit me at the time how much of an icon he is and would be. I’m grateful to have met him, even if it was just…

Oh, I just read your last paragraph. You are a condescending a hole, on purpose. Got it.

why the snarky responses to almost every sentence? You sound like a condescending a hole.

here’s the problem with drug takebacks. They are run by humans. and those drugs cross several human hands before getting properly disposed. I guarantee that some of those drugs have made it into the hands of others instead of getting properly destroyed.

Good for you. I can’t imagine us not having our 3 kids, but I always respect those that have thought it through and have both come to the conclusion they don’t want kids. When it’s just one person that feels that way it’s a whole other story. My wife and I were high school sweethearts and we always knew we wanted to…

I haven’t. I have a 2004 Lexus GX470 that I bought brand new after I got a huge bonus at my job. Normally I wouldn’t buy something that expensive. But it was paid off in about 2 years and I have had little maintenance on it. I could sell it for about $10,000 right now as it has low miles (just hit 100K). But I love…

I quit drinking 3 years ago. Not a drop since. It’s literally made every aspect of my life better.

There’s paint all over the table.

Yum, Tide juice pouches.

My wife and 3 kids and I can eat at Costco for about 10 bucks. That’s huge. The only other pizza place that cheap might be little Cesar’s, but the Costco pizza is way better and fresher than the hot n ready. Also, I like the option to get something else like a hot dog or even treat myself to the amazing BBQ sandwich.

Trying to change the CEL patterns could be tricky and adds way too much complexity into the vehicle to determine severity. that fault you might actually be something that needs to be checked out immediately, you just don’t know it yet. There already are severity driven faults in the vehicle though. As you said, that…

How about I just eat a 1/3 less bagel then and be able to enjoy the damn thing instead of eating just a bunch of hard bread. This is the dumbest thing ever.

old fashioned does not equate to wrong. Carrying debt for that long has a depreciating affect on your other savings. It’s also very possible that the car will depreciate itself faster than you pay it off, at least at first. A home appreciates in value. Not a 5 year loan, but always get a 15 year fixed loan on a home…

I used to use Microsoft Money, but now I use Quicken. It downloads every transaction from most of my accounts (credit card, checking, savings, HSA, investments, etc.) It also keeps track of what I owe. Currently that’s only the house. But it shows net worth based on cash, assets, and debt. Just a few years ago we got…
