Interesting, though that looks like it’s made for metal (and every toilet seat I’ve owned uses plastic bolts, etc). Also I gotta make sure I’m not essentially gluing the toilet seat so it can never be replaced down the line.

Is there any way to prevent the bolts from loosening in the first place? Like, higher-dollar seats/bolts/whatever? It’s easy enough to tighten them, but it’s annoying to have to keep doing it.

Yeah, I’ve had the game since launch and I’ve never experienced the horrible issues that I’ve seen some people complaining about online. Like you said, framerate drops, plus camera clipping, and Pokemon popping in closer than would be ideal on the field, but that’s about it for me. None of the like “this model got all…

I haven’t beaten the game yet so all the tera raids I’ve done have been relatively low power (3 stars max I think) and for these at least, I just save myself the headache and go with the CPU-controlled teams. Seems easier, especially since none of my friends are playing. I’m sure they aren’t good enough for, like,…

Legit, make sure that the person in your life who’s “impossible to shop for” (dad or otherwise) actually wants a gift. Not everyone cares about receiving gifts and agreeing to not exchange gifts may make both your lives easier.

Right, and my partner and I are on our second home purchased together, unmarried. The numbers are a little more complicated but AFAIK it’s not significantly different there either.

Right, I think that might happen in my case too. Also, I know that if your student loans are income-based, when you get married you’re then expected to pay more a month.

The problem is that, guaranteed, 99% of people who don’t tip or tip very poorly will say “will tip with cash” but will conveniently forget or ignore that (or just not give as much as you were hoping) when you’re at the door. And it’s not like you can deny them their food (without losing your job). Realistically,…

One problem with not tipping in the app is that the drivers (who can’t actually see the tip but can usually figure it out with the numbers they’re given) just won’t pick up the order if there’s no tip or a very low tip. So your food is going to take a lot longer to get to you, if it gets there at all. You may well be…

Is the tax difference really that much? I’ve been living with my partner for a few years and neither of us care about getting married, but when I run the numbers it looks like (unless I’m missing something) the difference is less than $100.

I bought the game at launch and have probably finished about half of the story and it’s always wild when I hear people talking about how broken it is. Like I don’t think anyone is lying but past some basics like the camera clipping through the wall or the framerate dropping, I’ve experienced almost nothing. No…

I use DoorDash a few times a week, the convenience is nice. But it’s also about time - if I have to drive 15 minutes to a restaurant and 15 minutes back, I could be using that half hour to do something else. So you’re definitely paying for the convenience, but if you keep time, money, and distance in mind it’s not…

The worst issue I’ve had so far was yesterday when I somehow clipped inside a big rock and couldn’t escape without flying to a Pokemon Center, I think it’s related to how you jump backwards when a battle starts. Past that, I’ve had some camera clipping, disappearing shadows, and minor (but noticeable) framerate drops,…

Seriously. If I literally had no other space, I’d just watch everything on my laptop before I’d do this.

Only other reason I can think is someone who literally can’t do anything but lie down (or can’t do it without severe pain), but even there I can think of better solutions.

Sure, it doesn’t hold water when you break it down, but I can’t think of a better way to explain some of the crazy numbers that some of them have.

Gotcha. Well I don’t really mind waiting a few extra seconds tbh

What’s a “proper” meat thermometer? I have a pretty cheap one but when I stick it in the meat it tells me the temperature, so I’m not sure what features I’m missing out on that I should have.

Don’t just toss all your paper or plastic goods into their bins and call it a day—at least not when the weather is frightful. Wind can come along and snatch lighter, looser materials off the top of the pile, which would lead to inadvertent littering—the exact opposite of what you’re trying to accomplish by…

I still love the long-standing theory that Pokedex entries are all written by the children who travel the world catching Pokemon. Like, that makes it easy to explain away weirdness, exaggeration, ambiguity, etc.
