ornithomorphizing

That’s the best kind of prank really.  Nothing gets destroyed, no one is humiliated, no one has their day ruined.  Just a bunch of gnomes gentrifying your hedge.

I’m never precisely sure where to fold/stick the labels, so I just fill them out and let the postal clerk affix everything (correctly).

Caveat, those ratios are based on gross income. My take home pay is 61% of my gross income after taxes and deductions. 28% of my gross income would be almost half my take home pay, which would not necessarily put me into a good financial position. Yes, there may be tax benefits, but you’re tax benefits only begin when…

What is your credit score and how much debt are you in?

So, so true. It genuinely astonishes me to recall how financially reckless I was in college, even without credit cards. I was floating checks all over the place, and at one point I bought a bunch of CDs with a worthless check and sold them for cash. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t end up in jail. I did finally get a credit…

I honestly think you’re onto something here. After trying my own grinds in those reusable pods in the Keurig, I was left speculating that the commercially produced pods are made with at least a portion of instant coffee. With EVERY other method the grinds need about 2 min of contact with hot water for proper…

That will be au upcoming slideshow.

I’m guessing this kid is mocking his screenplays.

Exactly right. The rotor is always being spun inside the alternator. But it’s not like a compressor, where if it is turning, it’s doing work. With no power to the field coils on the rotor, the rotor spins freely, and the input power required is just enough to overcome friction.

It doesn’t make sense to a business, sure. But it makes sense to Microsoft.

Folks repeatedly refer to Gaslighting and leave out the context that resulted in the term:

🤦 First of all log(1) = 0. Second, learn how to read log scale before saying stupid things.

It’s a simple matter of dragging them down to your level. That’s all.

The trick to annual bills is to budget as though they’re monthly bills. I use YNAB, but this should work with any zero-based budget (100% of income is allocated to something, whether to bills or pocket money or savings or whatever). Every single month, for every annual bill I have, I put aside 1/12 of each of those…

Watch out for an article next week on the bills you should autopay and why, along with the author listing all the fees they were charged because they forgot to pay one manually.

What gym do you belong to that bills you monthly instead of requiring a credit card for automatic billing? 

I knew I would find ppl more my speed on The Root’s discussion of this caucasian nonsense. AV Club was a lot of folks who don’t bathe daily, don’t use washcloths, probably don’t wash their legs, and have elaborate excuses why they don’t. Actively (but politely) argue that they don’t need to.

I agree with every single word of that. I really believe we’re fucked, and my kids will be living in a Fascist Lite country that incrementally inches toward full-on fascism. And I’ll die in that country. I don’t know how we get out of this.

I really don’t get running...
It’ll fuck your knees up before you reach 50, it’ll burn your nipples and thighs if it’s just a wee bit too cold, and now I learn it makes you poop your pants ?

Why do people not get bikes ?? You get the same cardio, without any of the shit that makes running a miserable affair... Plus it’s…
