I can’t get over the fact that two dudes committed a felony to get a microwave. Meth is a hell of a drug, man.

They say a lock does little more than keep an honest man honest. Still, I suppose I’d rather have a lock than nothing at all.

I was very against smart locks up until last summer. Now we have two of them, both on outdoor entrances. I’m not saying everyone should be using them, but I was able to get OK with them. I’m not super security conscious - I’ve never had an alarm system of any kind - but when I was a teenager two guys watched me from…

Our second dog was picked out by our first dog. Our French Bulldog loves pittbulls. He will drag me across the street to say hello to any reasonably friendly pitt he sees, regardless of whether or not the dog had other things to do (he’d notorious for trying to say hello while a dog is pooping. Ah, the impatience…

I really hate the XKCD comic because it is so incredibly wrong and everyone refers to it as gospel. Yes, if you are brute forcing a password having something that long will make it virtually uncrackable. But no one brute forces passwords anymore, everything is dictionary based. So even with 4 words and 26 characters…

This wedding does not sound very good.

That’s way oversimplifying it. You can have no debt and a great credit score. It’s more like “oh, nobody’s ever loaned you money? We won’t either.”

He’s a CEO, though. Once you get to a C-level job, you’re supposed to be able to handle the human side of your company with more tact than this.

I have no sympathy for people who still don’t wear seat belts. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Safe for your valuables and check ratings of the guests. Anyone “messing” or “stealing” will quickly have a low rating and bad reviews from other renters. You can also choose to turn away people who are new to the site and only take people who have a few reviews (that happened to me when I first started using it....)

Meh. I can honestly say I’ve heard all these songs over the last 6 weddings I’ve attended. Play what people have fun with and that’s alright by me. I’d probably be pretty pissed if that was a playlist for a road-trip or had to listen to during a traffic jam, but a wedding attendance of multi-generations and…

I’m a 20-year Blackstone customer and didn’t even realize they did this. I’m glad to see somebody is making use of Big Data to NOT sell me something for a change.

You start by doing a deep dive on your own income and expenses instead of being sarcastic to someone who put out a solid article. Do you need internet if you get it on your cell? What expenses does “food” comprise of? At the end of the month do you say “well, we only have $1.20 in savings, might as well spend it”?…

The Root and Fusion are both childish sites for childish mentalities. Because you need to be childish, to be racist. An evolved, grown mind has usually put those thoughts away since longtime.

I had to turn the volume on my computer way up to hear that ‘jingling’...the sound of her moving around in the car were many times louder.

True story, I dated a guy who lived down the street from the ice cream truck depot in the West Village. Around 5pm, every summer evening, they all roll out as an adorably coordinated sugar-fueled cheer army. The jingles were always delightful because even though they were loud, they just sound like happiness.

Seriously, this is a lifehack??

I had proof. It took half a year of badgering my manager at the time to do it. About a year later, they took away the tier system so all there was was an arbitrary ranking system based on competition ranks (bronze through platinum) that only allowed people to reach silver at our branch (because the others had…

Oh, I got called on the carpet and reamed for actually firing someone. My superiors were like “you have to do a better job of retention skill development working with people blah blah fucking blah”...

...but I’d do it again 11 times out of 10.

I had a managerial situation once where a malcontent undermined my best team member’s work and just generally acted like it was a competition and not people with a common goal.
