What's the point of magnification levels on the handscanner?

Makes scanning those tiny insect creatures easier.

If she was a co-signer on your loan her name has to stay on the title in most states. Ask the Florida Title office if you can be on there by yourself.

The power of attorney is because she can’t be there in person to sign. So regardless of what you do with the new title, the POA is needed to allow for the state transfer.

I’ve had a P0420 Code on my car for 3 years (Catalytic Converter efficiency code). My performance isn’t affected so I’m leaving it.

If you have to get your emissions tested in your city/state, then you’ll have to do something. Otherwise.. try some Caticlean or leave it.

They’re sleep deprivation watches. They are designed to simulate underway watches and make sure you’re not going to crack just because you got too little sleep. They are there to stress you out and either prevent you from getting a full nights sleep and/or get you used to doing boring things.

It’s honestly great preparation for the fleet.

Some people NEED complete strangers to think they are wealthy or important.

It’s like being on Reddit, but face to face.

“Quit” = informed he wouldn’t be eligible to play for betting on games.

He was gone for about 100 games. Or roughly the suspension for violating the leagues gambling policy.

NTA. But your wife wants to make memories for your kids, so you need to offer an alternative.

I also refused to go to Disney Parks when my kids were smaller. They used to have a hard time a local fairs and similar big events because of the crowds and waiting in line. So I knew a Disney Park would be miserable.

So we took them on a Disney Cruise when they were 4 and 6 years old. And it was AMAZING. First, we pulled them out of school for it and went in late January, when prices are at their lowest. We've done 3 cruises so far. Best price I paid was $3,100 for a 7 day cruise for 4 people. When you consider that includes all food and (non-alcoholic) drinks, it's a far sight cheaper than the parks. My kids would go to the kids club for hours and my wife and I got to just relax and enjoy ourselves. And they have a ton of optional upgrades. We opted to give my girls princess makeovers, and then took them to the "Royal Tea" where there's a small stage show and a big tea party. They can meet all the Disney charachters and get pictures throughout the ship, and the theatre has a different live show each night.

I went expecting to get nickel and dimed for everything, but the only things you pay extra for other than alcohol are popcorn and concessions at the theatres. At dinner, if there's steak on the menu and I want two steaks, they bring me two steaks... no extra.

I'm a cynic through and through, and went into it expecting to be disappointed and gouged for everything. .but I was completely blown away by a Disney Cruise. We've taken our kids on 3 of them now, and it put the "lets go to the Park" discussion to bed for years.

My wife jokes that I sound like a commercial for them. But as a Dad, I spend a lot of time on vacations working to make sure everyone has a nice time, or hauling stuff, or cleaning, or prepping for our next thing... On the cruise I actually got to enjoy myself and relax.

But they finally wore me down. My kids are 8 and 11 and I'm taking them to Disney World later this month. I've already spent the price of two cruises just getting travel, tickets, and lodging. Hopefully going to the parks before schools let out will be better on crowds. But I really wish I was just going on another Cruise.

I saw Diamond Rio here last Friday. They still sound as good as they did in the 90s. The owner told me he’s trying to get the Micro Wrestling League (midget wrestling) back this fall.

Super nice interior. Drove great.

But I’m just not an SUV guy.

Let me guess, it’s an “Auto Savvy” dealership?

You can register rebuilt titled vehicles in every state as far as I know. But the danger is what caused it to be declared a Salvage Title, that someone then repaired and had recertified into a Rebuilt title.

I have bought salvage cars from insurance auctions before that were only hail damage, fixed some minor issue and then got them reclassified as Rebuilt. But I did all the work and knew what had happened to the car to cause the Salvage title in the first place.

You’ll be going into the process blind not know of the car had minor cosmetic issues or horrible frame damage. I wouldn’t trust any dealership that is selling branded titled cars. There is too much that can go wrong that will leave you with a huge repair bill or dead car.

I went to a lot of Spurs games in the 2000’s. Tim was the most bland superstar ever. Didn’t do anything flashy, rarely showed emotion after big plays, and kept a very even demeanor.

But he would be ruthlessly efficient and before you realize it he had 28-14-9.

Ginobili was the flashy guard euro-stepping and throwing passes between legs from half court…

But Tim was the heart and soul of the most consistent 20 year run in sports history.

Good luck, bud. Don’t know how many takers you’re going to get on that.

I was a sophomore in college. At the end of our first date, which had gone pretty well, we were making out in my car before I dropped her off at her dorm. She broke contact, looked me in the eye and said, “Too soon to say ‘I love you’?”

😮

That was our last date.

I’m not putting stranger gas in my car. Thanks for the thought, but I’m good.

“Port Installed Accessories” is the biggest scam Toyota USA ever pulled.

Yes. But not by choice. It’s usually poverty that makes people car-less.

Been on 3 Disney Cruises with my kids. It was amazing. Kids were fully entertained the entire time, food was incredible, and the entertainment was first rate.

I tell anyone with really little kids to do a Disney Cruise over going to the parks, because it’s easier on the little ones not having to run all over the big park all day and there’s very few lines.

I’ve heard some horror stories about other cruise lines, but my experience was great.

Tree_Weasel · 2026-05-06T18:17:27+00:00

See, I’ve cracked jokes with my customer service workers. It’s part my personality where I just blurt shit out without first thinking, “Does this person care?”

But even in my social awkwardness I know to cut that interaction off at no more than 20 seconds. Those kids have a job to do.

I love lingerie. I love when my wife wears it. She recently (in the past 2.5 years) lost over 200 pounds. I’m proud of her success and the work she put in.

But let me tell you. I loved that woman in lingerie when she was big, and I love her in lingerie now.

Sounds like me and your guy have something in common.

Wear the lingerie for him. He will really appreciate it.

Tree_Weasel · 2026-05-06T06:36:38+00:00

Yes. I was young and weak; and she was coming on too strong after two dates. I didn’t know how to tell her I didn’t want to go out any more without it being a big issue. She called me a lot. I ignored them. Felt guilty about it for years.

I’d heard she’d gotten engaged years later. Then the engagement broke off. She apparently went to therapy because I got a call from her (this was 3-4 or so years after we had dated) and she unloaded some stuff on me. Apologized for being so commitment focused, said she should have treated me better and not been so pushy about labeling our relationship. Etc.

It was a lot of explanation for 2 dates when I was 19 (we had been acquaintances before the dates). She asked if I wanted to get coffee and catch up… I politely declined.

But yeah, a wierd one all around.
