I do pay for nearly everything in cash. It keeps the frivolous purchases to a minimum. Utility bills are paid via my credit union’s free “pay bill” feature. When I have to buy something online, I generally use ACH transfer or in extremely rare circumstances, my debit card, which is locked most of the time - I have to…

I also do not have a checkbook, but nice try. Really, I mostly just carry cash and know how to save money instead of just spending it all on frivolous purchases.

I bought my house with cash. No mortgage.. Remind me again why I need credit?

Banks track debit cards, but no one can really track cash purchases very well. Making all your purchases with cash is no longer possible, due to people’s reliance on credit, but if you’re willing to give up a little convenience for security, you can make your profile as useless to an identity thief as possible by…

Your reply to my statement implied otherwise. My statement “I’ll be quiet during the hours you want it to be quiet if you’ll be quiet during the time I want it to be quiet” is exactly that, a request / bargin / compromise. Your reply was that you don’t need to be quiet in the morning because the law give’s you the…

It’s still single phase, just center tapped. when you connect the hot leg to the other hot leg (220-240v) that’s a single phase, not 2 phases.

My exterior outlets all have wall switches inside the house that turn them off.

Credit is good if you like credit reporting companies watching your every move... The more you buy with your credit card, the more data they have to lose, and  the easier it will be for your identity to be stolen. But hey, you go ahead and make those extra couple of dollars a month, I’m sure the hassle of having your…

I really wish someone would make one of these that was square inside. Not a full size toaster oven, but a mini one like an air fryer, but without that godawful round basket thing that none of my pans fit in. Yes, yes, I know, you’re not supposed to use these with a pan, but try making meringue or cookies in one to…

You should try working a swing shift someday, maybe you’ll lose the stick up your ass in the process.

I’ll be quiet between 1 am and 11 am if you’re quiet between 4 and 11 am which is when I’m usually sleeping.. but if you’re the obnoxious neighbor that wants to mow your lawn / run your leafblower / start your car that has had it’s muffler removed at 7-8 am every single day, you’re going to just have to deal with my…

How have you never seen these.

How have you never seen these.

Kickstarter is garbage unless you like backing things and then never getting what you backed. After backing 3 products that you promoted here and only getting a crappy lower than expected quality version of one of them (The other 2 never shipped, despite being successful, apparently they were outright scams.), I’m not…

So, your Thai pesto calls for Thai basil, which tastes nothing like regular basil.

It doesn’t matter if you’re worried about the camera being used as vidence to prove you were speeding. Using any camera, wether it records your speed or not, anyone viewing the footage can determine how fast you were traveling by knowing the camera’s frame rate and looking at how fast you are passing stationary…

Why the fuck does your pizza crust have milk and egg in it? It should only contain flour, water, yeast, oil, sugar and salt.

if this is surveillence footage, why is the camera waving around like someone is holding it?

You shouldn’t be drinking that much coffee in a day, (24-40 oz is recommended daily intake) but your problem is probably that you only think your coffee is “strong”.

Cold brew contains less caffeine than the same amount of hot coffee, as heat is one of the primary things that extracts caffeine from the beans. If you’re feeling the jitters, it’s likely the placebo effect.

yeah, thanks, but no thanks.
