also the FICO scale is stupid. A lousy score is 700, a great one's 820. A corpse has a credit score of 600. Maybe widen the scale and stratify for reality?

Linked site wants me to accept cookies, why?

"Oh, ken, you don't understand, these cookies only make the site work correctly." Yeah right.

The new one is easy to tell: it's the one with the ugly lump on the back.

Politics in America is the new reality TV. Think yesterday was shocking, just wait until you see the next episode!

Out of mod points just when I needed 'em.

yeah that one always cracks me up. Your watch telling you that you actually did sleep like shit last night.

Vaccines, COVID, masking, conspiracies, Trump. All in a gigantic doom loop that's not worth re-visiting ad nauseam. So just stop already. And please, stop with the microplastics while you're at it.

Very obscure reference. Nice.

Got to come up with cash somehow.

I've been in San Francisco recently. In my daughter's neighborhood the streets are too narrow to allow two-way passing, so one vehicle needs to pull over (cars packed on both sides, and driveways are very narrow). I was heading downhill and I see a Waymo coming up. The Waymo found a nook, pulled over to let me pass and I rolled by without a hitch.

Remember when gasoline was leaded? Then we had "ethyl" and "unleaded" at the pump - octane wasn't a thing yet. We used to siphon gas when we were broke as kids with a piece of garden hose. If you were out of practice you ended up gulping down some. Lead was the very least of our problems lol. And microplastics? ROTFL. Shine on you crazy diamonds.

I wish these stories would give some detail regarding process chemistry. Too much to ask I know.

You can tell when you are talking to someone if they are readers or not. It's vocab, conversant on many topics, and (mostly) full sentences. I think what ruins this is that every kids hates school, and school is always about reading (unfortunately the reading list is dumbest shit imaginable.) Kids learn to hate reading because they were scolded for not doing it by so many adults in their life.

Spending it all on one really great hooker, or a ton of average ones? asking for a friend.

Apple has AI?
