My mom’s laptop just physically broke and is unrepairable, so I don’t have to do the whole thing you did for yours.

I’m a little bit relieved, because I’m not sure I love my mom as much as you do…

I’m available for tech support whenever she needs

Fuck yeah, this timeline about to get organic computers

Misleading title. Guy never had bedbugs, just saw them

Yeah, but you lose out on credit card rewards, aka free money, going that route.

I’ve used them a couple times where my privacy was worth more, and once where I didn’t want a company having a card to put recurring charges on

Technically it costs money even if their fees are forgettable.

That’s for a very good reason that they don’t allow that.

If it was allowed it would be a wet dream for credit card churning

So have I, but weigh that against the hassle of needing to call and be on hold and so on. Let alone the additional burden of knowing I have to stay on top of checking my statements for fraudulent charges

I’d rather avoid all that by never letting it grow to be a problem

This is why on steam I don’t store my credit card information, nor on basically any other site that I can get away with it.

Yeah it is a pain in the ass for the times I want to buy something, having to put it the card details every single time, but it’s worth my peace of mind if a breach happens. By this point I have memorized my card numbers so it’s not too awful of a pendantic habit now.

I’m reluctant to actually invest this years IRA contributions and may have better returns just holding it in standby as the market ‘volatility’ continues

Despite the advice that time in the market beats timing the market, I have a feeling these extraordinary circumstances mean the opposite for the time being

Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.

That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.

Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too

Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action

Fuck yeah, vacation to Australia here i come!

Important reading for sure

Would also be a significant cost savings for Apple since they won’t have to pay for the exorbitant development costs that I’m sure are factored into the price of American based ai.

Still don’t want ai anywhere near phones though. Way too much personal data at risk

It was 30 years ago, but the tipping percentage has been subject to inflation for some reason right alongside the cost of the service.

Feels like an intentional double dip as a fuck you to me.

Thanks for the heads up, though this would be less of an issue if you have the email app on your phone or the tab pinned in Firefox.

The real issue is i gotta use another authentication app for my email now, have been using Bitwarden itself for 2fa codes for proton. Definitely can’t use proton pass to 2fa for my proton account.

I don’t even know. Gonna have to find another reputable authenticator app.

Guess I should also check if Bitwarden or proton support physical security keys. Would be pretty bomb proof since my keys are always in my pocket anyway.

Of course someone made a tool for this

It’s a good idea but it looks really outdated. Searched for 0.01 and the first page is almost entirely dead links or nowhere close to its listed price. Only 2 I found were the Baptist pamphlet for 25 cents and a washer for 36 cents(listed as 34).

So hopefully they update it for guys like OP

Jojoba oil. I recommend getting it pure and not mixed with other ingredients.

I started using this for my face when I lived with very dry and cold winters. Liked it so much that it’s replaced moisturizers for me basically permanently despite moving away from those brutal winters. It’s amazing because it doesn’t clog pores and cause breakouts, and it absorbs into my beard and keeps things from being itchy.

They’ve been doing this for years.

It’s why I’ve made a ‘save for later’ collection of things I either use on the regular like my favorite soap or face cleanser, or really low cost things ($1 or less) I could make use of like single use eyewash to put in a first aid kit, things like that.

Annoying that I have to play their stupid little game, but this lets me bump it past 35 without it being wasteful

Kind of a tangent, but this is probably a good opportunity to throw out there that Amazon is pretty often not the lowest cost place to buy something these days. For example, I needed a specific but simple hand tool and Amazon wanted $5-6 for it but the harbor freight on the way to work costs $2. Worth a second search

What are these, enchiladas for ants? Yes, it is. For a family of ants
