After reading Michael Lewis’ account of Sam and FTX, I honestly believe he really doesn’t grasp how this works.

and instead of making 1 credit card payment a month, pay smaller but weekly payments. Same amount of money out of your pocket but it will increase your score (as well as decrease interest if you’re carrying a balance).

not a huge savings when you consider that Airpod Pros are routinely on sale for $200.

My parent’s home, new in 1969 had a galley kitchen - counters and appliances on 2 opposite walls with a 3-4' passage down the middle. It was great for one person working, add another person and somebody will always be in the way. I think it was really designed with the idea that only Mom would ever be in there.

There are scanner tools for windows/macos/ios that will scan your network and report back the manufacturer name of the device. From there you can probably figure out what is really your stuff.

I paid $25 for a yearly membership to Monroe County Library

I reread the original 3 books this spring and yes you’re right, the trailers seem to have little to do with them. I last read them 30+ years ago so was pretty much hitting them fresh. I enjoyed them the 2nd time, but couldn’t help but feel they’d make lousy tv/movies, so unless this series relies more on the later…

I was not prepared for that image when I clicked my lifehacker bookmark.

“Cameras are just the worst thing that’s happened for cops.”
