I still think the front is ugly as hell, but the modular roof does seem pretty awesome!

I was lucky enough that I had a pay raise three months before that transition in pay period length that covered that effective 7.6% reduction in pay on a monthly basis and I have the financial stability to keep a cash buffer in the account to minimize the chances of an “oopsie” when pay periods drift. Even with that, I…

A waffle iron is one of those kitchen appliances I haven’t bought yet. I like waffles (A food with excellent topping holders built in?! Yes, please!), but I just haven’t bought one for some reason. I want to say it’s because it’s seemingly difficult to clean, but I guess that isn’t a very big excuse. Maybe if there is…

Hello Fresh and similar boxes do seem better for inexperienced cooks, but it really left me feeling disappointed as someone who already knows how to cook. Remembering back to my college days, it would have been fantastic to have all the spice mixes and portions of items ready to go with a good set of instructions that…

I think the problem lies in oiling immediately. You can use cast iron repeatedly just scraping out your pan, rinsing, and wiping without a new layer of oil applied and not have any rust issues for months or years. Every time I’ve used soap and gotten distracted instead of immediately applying a fresh coat right away,…

I live for your articles.

I’ve done weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, once a month, and if you count student loans, then quarterly. My most annoying transition was twice monthly to every two weeks. There isn’t a single bill I have that is pegged to a weekly schedule. The entire thing is built around payments on a monthly schedule, so…

Some people also just hate their children, spouses, and/or pets. Work is an escape from their mistakes. Some of my coworkers were shockingly honest about really hating spending time with some or all of those as we started discussing lockdown planning for my office. Some manage to rule with an iron fist while others…

All it takes is some crazy conservative family. Facebook is iconic for its algorithms, but it can’t seem to tell the difference between a popular post of their kids or a well liked comment about how beautiful a vacation photos it and an incredibly racist/sexist/homophobic post or comment on something popular in fringe …

I definitely joke about her sticky hands every time I see her in a film or show haha

I feel like I would willing to watch hours of hidden camera footage of people being picked up by one of those by Torchincky for Lyft or Uber. 

The math doesn’t work out well normally either. Last time I drove, I made a profit because my car and maintenance are actually much cheaper than the standard (this worked out quite nicely for taxes since you can choose to take the IRS mileage standard), but it wasn’t too much above minimum wage after accounting for…

I think knowledge of checking air pressure, changing a tire, changing a fuse, changing a bulb, and checking all your car’s fluids (transmission, oil, brake, coolant, even wiper) should be required for a license. People shouldn’t be driving a car if they don’t know how to check if it’s safe to drive or how to make it…

As a millennial, I actually don’t care nearly as much about the skill building part specifically, but I do care about my limited paycheck and how far it goes. That drives me to learn a lot of skills. Sure, I can hire someone to hang picture frames, paint or touch up interior walls, unclog drains, change to a spare tire…

I’m waiting for bankruptcy sales at this point.

The number of checks they can send out per day is limited, so they are exploring other options to increase the daily volume of payments sent. Basically, they chose to use multiple forms of payment to accelerate distribution.

That matches pretty well with my experience of Hyundai dealers. From trying to convince me to wait for a warranty related issue until after my warranty was over, to handing me other people’s keys, to leaving tools in my floorboard, to general incompetence, Hyundai has it covered. Their cars are built well at the…

Supposedly, the lifetime replacement warranty on old tools still applies, but Lowes and other retailers changed part numbers, so they may not have the right tool part number to replace it. In that case you get sent to Craftsman customer support and have to mail in your tool. Also, new Craftsman products only have a 3…

It’ll be interesting if the “no returns” and "all sales final" policies that have become ubiquitous in my area end up extending to retail. That would further defeat shopping for clothes or shoes.

The wave of liquidation sales is going to be a very weird experience. I feel like scheduling an appointment to browse the discounted remains of a store will be surreal. It was already weird back in the Great Recession (Seriously, I was once offered a jewelry department. There was no jewelry left so they asked if I…
