It’s true, my credit took a short-lived dive after I paid off my student loans. I was rather annoyed.

To add to this, in the US your credit score is starting to affect a lot more things than borrowing money - for example, mine was checked in the process of applying for work. Yes, apparently some companies won’t hire you if your credit score isn’t high enough.

Interesting, so you’d be good eating things cooked in peanut oil as well, or no? I’m really just curious.

Haha... Yeah... I learned rather quickly that “the kid’s bladder/bowel must surely be empty” is easily the worst assumption you can make when changing a diaper.

Mine was a surprise poop the kiddo had when he was still very small. We had just sat down at a restaurant to eat and I was going to pick him up out of the carseat so that he could play with his grandparents. As I reached down, my fingers touched something wet and sticky... what the hell... OMG IT’S SHIT MY HANDS. I…

It always got me that the magical equivalent was always vastly backwards compared to the muggle version. Ok, a quill to write... but then the pen is invented - why not adopt that and use a pen to write with, perhaps improved in some way by magic? Email was around in the 90's, as were telephones, and two-way radios.…

It really only filters out responding to ‘personal’ requests, not everything. Trust me, you don’t want it to refuse to work when it doesn’t recognize your voice, because it is truly awful at doing that. You have to use the exact same tone of voice you used when you trained it, and sure, you can use a different tone…

True, not by itself. I was pissed at Apple’s response to it at the time (here’s the long story):

The 2008 all aluminum unibody macbook did it for me - it hit me right at the time that I was sick of yet another cheap feeling, black plastic brick for a laptop. Problem is, about 18 months in, the battery started to blow up like a balloon, then the OS started slowing to a crawl. Long story short, I got fed up with th…

Too true, the only thing he was ever successful at was putting his name on things, since that requires very little from him and happens to be his favorite thing to do. I’m surprised the White House hasn’t sprouted a giant golden T at the front.

Yeah, I wear mine in a holster. Doing it any other way is a pain in the ass, and it's much easier to reach in basically every situation. I don't care about looking cool.

A brute force attack would crack that in an instant, unfortuantely.

Yeah, I really wonder if the ‘password’ accounts are actually accounts people created because some website required that they register to view an article. I mean, if the users account is listed as “fuck you, 1234 don’ttrackme Ave., Notyourbbusiness, NY”, then maybe they just didn’t care what the password is.

Can’t... breathe... laughing... too... hard...

True, that’s much more realistic. Maybe they can just add “site:foxnews.com” to all their searches - it would be more honest and direct.

... yeah I was trying to be conservative, but you’re probably right.

No joke, there should be regulations requiring they replace their damn tires before they fall apart, literally, on the highway. I’d wager that 95%+ of shredded pieces of tire I pass on the highway came from one of these jokers.

While I love the idea, I can’t help but think that there isn’t enough physical room if the logos are going to be large enough to be identifiable...

Maybe they could, I don’t know, try doing good things for a change, if they want good search results. Imagine the headline: Sen (R-KY) Mitch McConnell seen volunteering at animal shelter.

Gee, I could have told them that buying those long-dead companies was a bad idea. Whodda thought.
