I lag in games because a) I’m a tightwad and b) I don’t really have the time to play and stay bleeding edge. I’m usually slow because I’m still playing whatever top game I’ve been playing for the past few months. And by the time I’m ready for the next, it’s already dropped from $60 to $40 (or more).

If you REALLY need to make confetti, get a cross-cut shredder. Under $40 and even has a nice collection bin.

Why would I want Apple to be able to track me?  You know Apple is collecting all of that GPS data.

I mean, think how much of a stink Amazon’s Sidewalk caused and yet here’s Apple doing something similar......

Did you post more or less the same sentiment in the Movie Crush FB group?

Some people change out their .45s for AR-15s.......

Unless it looks like this picture, it’s not the perfect RV.

I left a bank for that. I didn’t even bother to close the account. I just took all of my money out and ghosted them.  I figured it cost them more money to try to talk to me in terms of time and resources.  I’ve got another account at a bank that has 48 cents in it.  And they have to send me paper statements. …

Don’t forget the whole “stack payments in the order that overdrafts you the quickest so that we maximize the penalty money you owe us”. If you’re broke, the bank makes sure that they keep you VERY broke.

But.....she can step up the value ladder with like/kind exchanges gaining more depreciation and more value.  And taking out more loan money against the new value.  Rinse and repeat.

She’s not even going to run the gas station, she’s going to lease it out. So, she’s just going to benefit from the increase in property value and the lease payment that pays for the rest of the property.

There’s a Netflix show called “You” that you need to watch for the context.

I’m in the tech field. When I interview for some jobs, there are “tests” of my coding ability. This is a key component of the knowledge required to do the job.

But that wasn’t the original argument. The argument was when the bottom drops out of the low interest loans. The argument of losing your income holds no matter what happens to the interest rates and wasn’t at all what either of us were talking about.

Yeah.....I’d be curious. Is it better for the battery to “slow charge” overnight or fast charge and then sit on the wireless charger while still 100% for a couple of hours.  I would bet that the version that times charge completion with taking it off the charger would be better for battery life.

My biggest complaint is that the cases I want (has the built in kickstand / ring holder) almost always block either the NFC or the wireless charging. There has to be a good way to solve this problem.

Only if you’re on a variable rate. If you’re locked in at the low rates, you’ll just be “stuck” in your current vehicle for the remainder of the loan. I’ve got a 0% loan. It was stupid to NOT take. If interest rates go to infinity, I’m still paying 0% on that car. I just wouldn’t be able to get a new one in 3 to 5…

I can tell a lot of the people surveyed don’t have an HEB nearby. Many of these things have some top notch store brands at HEB.

I got one in Sept of 2020 and another in April of 2021. So “cutting it close”.

My granddaughter is two. But I try to get her to say: “I am smart. I am beautiful. I’m a strong, confident woman” every chance I get. I’m trying to get her to self-actualize instead of having it come from me. I’m hoping that carries her far in life. All of the other women in my life are wracked by self-doubt (they’re…
