Wonder why the Doomsday Clock hasn’t been moved up yet. You figure with all all this talk it would have been moved up to 30 seconds to midnight, but it’s still at two minutes or something. Maybe the people responsible have already bugged out for their nuclear hidey holes already.

Credit scoring is a scam pure and simple. I’ve noticed that mine fluctuates from month to month for no reason that I can see. And it’s not just with one agency either. It’s with all of them, acting in concert (or in collusion). Don’t use your credit and your score goes down. Use your credit and your score goes down.

In some countries in Asia men carry bags as a matter of course. In a few places instead of letting a bag dangle from their shoulders they snug it against their chests, I suppose the logic being that a bag snatcher/pickpocket would have to look them in the eye when making an attempt to help themselves.

Just call it a murse and be done with it.

1. Worms and snakes & other wriggly things. Shudder!

Careful! Your science teacher might think you made a bomb and have you deported !

Keeping old cards and accounts open only makes sense if they have no annual fee. Otherwise you’re only biting off your nose to spite your face. I just abandoned a personal line of credit that I’ve had for seven years (and never used) because of its constantly increasing annual fee.

Wonder what a “Brooklyn” or a “Sailor Moon” would look like?

By the time it made its second pass the local terrain would have been changed by the H-bombs it dropped on the first pass that its terrain mapping system wouldn’t find anything to match - and what happens then?

It’s a bloody sexist conspiracy, is what it is! Women have so much more leeway in what they can wear to work, while men have been stuck with the same boring suit and ties for the past two and a quarter centuries or more. And you can’t even use your necktie for its original intended purpose, which is to wipe the food

Just watch the rate of thefts go up. It’ll be too tempting.

Aren’t these congressbozos even mildly embarrassed that the US has the worst health care delivery system of all highly industrialized nations?

Rugby? What’s that?

It’s 12 years for the credit reporting agencies.

I want to know why the system penalizes you if you have no debt just as they penalize you for having too much debt.

Unfortunately people can have funny delusions - and that’s all they are, delusions, accepted without a shred of proof. People will go on a gluten - free diet all of a sudden because the food packaging or Aunt Bertha said so. Ask them if they have celiac disease and they just give you a blank look or, in extreme cases,

Right now USB-C is just an excuse for device manufacturers to short their customers on ports. I’m not buying a new laptop unless it has a minimum of THREE USB-C ports on board!

How effective is it? I hope it’s at least somewhat better at protecting people than the flu vaccine has been these past few years.

Or so they say. But there’s also the prospect of a service going down unexpectedly either because of a technical issue or because they want more money. Call me OCD but I want full control of my data at all times.

Cold brew has more caffeine? I think you have that backwards unless you’re using one of those hypercaffeinated blends (in another time we called them “Navy coffee”) to make your cold brew with. Using normal coffee your cold brew will end up with almost 40% less caffeine after diluting it.
