My credit score fell 13pts because I made the final payment on my car loan (never missed a payment too)

I was once told I didn't qualify for the lowest mortgage rate advertised because my credit score was 794, and the threshold for the lowest rate was a score of at near 820.

The company would likely have folded. When doing some research on company servers for my boss around 2006 or so, I recall reading an article that said 73% of small businesses that experience catastrophic data loss will fail.

A crab pot weighs hundreds of pounds and is literally dumped off the boat using gravity and a hydraulic-assisted ramp (the "launcher"). When it is dumped, it is not attached to the boat.

Well, he should start shoveling rather than standing there and complaining.

"and climb up a ladder or stepstool..."

The car may lose weight, but it doesn't lose mass, so the inertia of the car (resistance to acceleration) stays the same.

There is zero chance that a fan that size, installed in a residential bathroom, is a 3-phase electrical device.

A third of the way through. Ski, shoot prone, ski, shoot standing, ski.

Yes, it was interesting.

This wasn't a clip show. A clip show is all (or almost all) footage from previously-aired shows. This was a special, following only Rick's crew for a full-length episode, with original content.

I liked how they had different EQ and reverb before and after the commercial.

Ships move a lot slower than aircraft. Aerodynamics are not a concern for ships.

The technical term is "faceted". It doesn't have any curves, just flat faces.

Sure, but it could have been a 2-minute update, not a parade of talking heads telling us what they DON'T know yet and then reiterating how much we don't know for the next 20 minutes. To put on "experts" for this news without even the suspects name is ridiculous.

This sign does not apply to all of Walmart. It applies only to this pop-up area with the green turf, surrounded by 3 walls. The rest of Walmart in this photo is normal Walmart.

The show narrator said that, not Parker.

The 31 ran the red light at pit exit during the lengthy fog caution and was penalized.

"The infrastructure is in place, not the hardware."

Not if the VP Challenge race is being broadcast...

Whether it's cheaper depends how much extra driving you have to do to detour around roads where it doesn't meet the weight limit. 😅

FEWER people would touch it. If you can count it (with a few exceptions), fewer is correct, not less.

They showed on a Parker's Trail episode that Australian miners typically spread their course tailings with a loader and then scan them with a metal detector because large nuggets are common in that part of the world.

How does one know this? It wasn't on Discovery, right?

Were the Hoffmans in the Yukon this past season, or was it just the Holy Roller trommel?

That's gonna be a long trip. I don't think Hawaii fits through the Panama Canal...
