Vendor-driven marketing platitudes bearing little resemblance to reality using shortened memes for theme driven effect.
LMAO...that was good!
While those Gizmos may be cool and fun, they are no longer your major concern. Now this isn't all that bad, you are more mature and comfortable with yourself, things don't bother you so much, but you also need such distractions as well.
I thought like that for a long time, then one day I realized that I had optimized "fun" almost entirely out of my life. I am a lot happier now that I make sure to budget for "fun" things. Going through life without frivolous, but fun things was negatively affecting my mental condition. The joy of saving a dollar can only take you so far.
Plus, you can't take money with you when you die so might as well enjoy it while you're alive.
You don't legally own the car until the title is transferred.
Transferred to whom? I guess it depends on where you live, but I get the title, and it's in my name. The bank never sees the Title. The title is issued to me directly from the state, usually in a couple weeks from when I get the car from the dealership.
Umm, I think you are confusing the vehicle Registration with the vehicle Title. If you buy a car and have car payments, whatever institution you're paying that money to holds the Title for the vehicle until the loan is paid off. That means the institution actually OWNS the vehicle as they hold the Title. The Title is then transferred to you once the vehicle is paid off and you then own the vehicle. I don't know a single country, let alone state, that issues a Title to the person that is making payments on a vehicle. Doesn't work that way. You don't own the car until it's completely paid for. You do receive vehicle registration in your name, but that's not the same as the Title. In order to sell the vehicle and prove ownership you have to have a Title (like a property Deed), and that Title is signed over to the new owner and that owner takes the Title to the DMV to have a new Title issued in their name to show that they now own the vehicle. You cannot sell a vehicle with just the registration. To tell the difference, a Title usually looks like a fancy certificate with anti-forgery mechanisms in the paper and printing just like money, while a vehicle registration is usually printed on simple card stock or plain paper and may be just black and white or include some colors.
The metabolites are stable for a long time. They can transfer from paper money to your oil/sweat-laden fingerprints.
And it's usually $1s and $5s that test positive for cocaine metabolites, and cocaine itself.
So remember kids: Always wash your hands before and after handling paper money.
simply handling money doesn't result in your body absorbing enough cocaine to synthesize and excrete " benzoylecgonine and methylecgonine".
As the limits of detection get smaller and smaller, the chances are that I could detect one molecule of almost anything on you. So how much is legally enough to charge you?
Let's hope it's a higher threshold than the false positive for opiates after eating poppy seed bagels!
What kind of goldfish? An African one, or a European? Or a demented goldfish living in a bowl of cheap tequila?

Men being cavemen is reinforced by women -- regressive / aggressive behavior is rewarded by them. They like to bitch about knuckledragger behavior, yet men who don't exhibit it are ignored in the dating / mating arena.
Or, you're trying to date/mate in the wrong pool. You'll have to figure that out on your own. A number of us already have and have dated and mated just fine.
Posting a link to one story does not shove another out of the way.
Yes, it does. Quite literally, in fact. There's only so much room on the front page.
Yes, and like all idiots that think their preeminence takes precedent over everyone else's desires, only stories you're interested in should be on the front page. Heaven forbid you actually use the "Older" link at the bottom to see more. Just because it's older doesn't mean it didn't happen today or is of any less value. Most of the stuff on
So the advertisers (or their mouthpieces) are calling the people that would block ads sociopathic? That's rich.
No, it's genuinely sociopathic.
I'm either going to [...] make note of the advertiser and NEVER patronize them simply because they forced me to sit thru an ad I had no interest in seeing.
Good luck doing this when the ad is a public service announcement brought to you by your local electric monopoly. Care to join the Amish?
Careful. There are plenty of people moving to solar and wind power on premises that aren't Amish and can boycott their local electric monopoly quite easily.
This. I don't want to see ads, I'm sick to death of seeing ads, and I'll do everything in my power not to. [...]
Fuck them.
Here's the thing that gets me. These idiots in ad agencies think that the end of something is when there are no ads. Tell that to HBO, Netflix and any number of other subscription based content providers that don't use advertisements as a revenue stream to shore up their work. If the content on the web page is good enough to attract people to view it, then it might be good enough to supply on a subscription basis and forgo any ads. Now, I know there are things like news and other live or current events related content that is stupid to paywall off, but there are plenty of prime examples of subscriptions--and not ads--supporting good content without pissing off the community that consumes that content. I have lived without cable or satellite TV for 16 years, relying mostly on subscription content sites like Netflix and I haven't missed the ads one bit. With DVRs, most cable and satellite subscribers are also skipping ads, so to say that ad blocking is sociopathic is to not know what the word sociopathic means or be living in a world that's opposite to reality where society isn't skipping and blocking ads wherever they can.
