I thought this was going to tell me how my cat Chubs could lose weight. That headline could be better phrased.

That’s easy. Paid off all my credit cards, got rid of all but two, and pay those off every month. My credit rating went into tbe toilet for a while (which prevented me from getting any new cards). Now my score is up to 814 but I still have the habit of paying the cards off every month and not paying any attention to

I believe splitting entrées is a partly cultural thing. Many Asians think nothing of doing it and it’s always amusing to find them arguing over items on the menu to come up with choices that everyone can agree on so they can split it.

I used to use Swype but two features of SwiftKey won me over: the ability to put arrow keys and a number row on the keyboard’s main screen. The arrow keys made editing so much easier and the number row made using it so much more convenient. I was always annoyed at having to use 3 keystrokes just to enter a single

No, I am working from a strict reading of the 2nd Amendment. No ideas, no interpretations, no assumption that this was what the founders were thinking (which is impossible to know). Just the words of the 2nd Amendment as wfitten down in the Constitution.

I’m no constituental expert, hell I’m not even a lawyer, but a strict reading of the 2nd Amendment refers to “arms” - doesn’t say anything about ammunition, does it? I say tax the sales of ammunition - from $10 a round for .22LR to $1000 a round for .223 and above. It won’t be an instant solution - people keep

You could also try turning off your VPN and see if the site will connect. There are sites (I’m looking at you, bankofamerica.com!) that will refuse to connect if you come in on a vpn connection. They want you to reduce your security and then grab everything they can about you from your browser.

Your lender will always use the score which benefits him most and you least. Duh!

Just don’t use any of those apps. In fact don’t use any fitness tracker that connects to the cloud at all.

Yeah, but the researchers have been doing a piss-poor job of predicting which strains are going to show up. The flu vaccine was never more than 50% effective at the best of times but over the past five or six years the trend has been worryingly downward. More often than not they miss the strain that spreads the next

Now try using salsa instead of dressing on your salad. I recommend pico de gallo.

Nope. Nope, nope, nope.

“People running without thinking, that has been the cause of many different serious injuries lately. Assess, don’t react. It might only take a few seconds to change your outcome.”

This just happened to me the other day. Someone asked why Norwegians would want to move to US (as Trump wants) and this guy immediately said, “So their women won’t get raped by Muslim immigrants.” There was an ugly silence.

I’d be more tempted to watch it if the view was, say, 20 or 30 degrees to either side instead of head on. Watching nothing but tracks is like watching grass grow or paint dry, but being able to see a little more of the scenery the train is passing through and yeah, I’d sit and watch it.

So it seems the fingerprint scanner is still in the same awkward position, or is that something else?

Does “screen time” also include reading books on a kindle?

I think that “digital transformation” be was talking about might be referring to the slide, nor the plane. IOW “we don’t be to draw the things’ pictures by hand anymore, we can do it on a compooter!”

I put aluminum foil on the wall behind my router.
