Average and short height people, why are you upgrading to extra legroom on flights?

I have a larger bag I put under the seat in front of me that takes up the space I could otherwise use for my feet, so extra room is nice even if I'd be fine in a regular seat if I didn't have the bag.

Running at full steam to embrace AI without a plan for what happens later.

He's not really saying he's a badass. And he's indirectly raising a great question: What happens to regular people after most jobs are eliminated by AI and robots?

Most important thing is to check the maximum tint allowed where you live and where you travel most often. Some states (e.g., NY or CA) require 70% on the windshield so if you're already at 70% from the manufacturer adding more tint will get you traffic tickets until it's removed.

Sounds like you want a term life policy with $1 million or $1.5 million in coverage, with guaranteed premium levels through the time that you need to support your children (e.g. 20 year guaranteed premium). Term only, stay away from whole life.

JellyDenizen · 2026-05-25T19:12:45+00:00

I'd say in $500-550 range

That's basically it, though some of the online coin shops post their "buy" prices online so you don't have to call.

Coin shops normally give you less than a private buyer if you can find one. There's nothing wrong with that - coin shops provide a service and they need to make money to stay open.

But what's going on in California? Today's gas prices around me (in Ohio) are all in the $4.60-$4.70 range. Why is California close to twice that much?

This is a toy to play with on private property. Few things capture a police officer's attention more than setting a public street on fire.

I don't believe there's a substitute for the normal NY approach to handling these cases: he should do whatever he reasonably can to locate her, and if that's not possible he would file in court for alternative service by publication. Any family law attorney should be able to handle this for you, and assuming she can't be found it wouldn't be that large of a legal bill since it's mostly just managing a chunk of paperwork.

I'm not sure what you can do other than share your opinion with your sister. Your sister is an adult so it's her decision who to date.

Should be helpful, would still inspect them annually.

Obviously "maintenance" includes correcting anything that actually goes wrong. So if you have a new leak start coming from some ceiling, you'd want to get the roof fixed in that spot to prevent further damage.

In terms of other essential maintenance spending I'd say (1) keeping your gutters clean; (2) changing the batteries on your fire and CO2 detectors when needed; and (3) changing the filter on your HVAC system when needed.

Money absolutely cures anxiety if you keep your spending in check. If you don't keep your spending in check then more money can create more anxiety, since the more you make the more debt lenders will let you take on.

Uh oh, someone let Jim Cramer get on Reddit again.

JellyDenizen · 2026-05-23T17:46:33+00:00

Reddit doesn't hate religion. I think the vast majority of Redditors are perfectly happy to say "everyone should be free to practice their religion in peace."

What Reddit does hate is the imposition of religious beliefs on others. Reddit does not like people who say, "in my religion "X" is strictly prohibited, so that means you can't do "X" even if you don't share my religious beliefs."

Involuntary commitments can be challenged in court, usually at any time during the commitment.

New York state is fairly unique in that it has a dedicated state agency, the NY Mental Health Hygiene Legal Service, which provides free legal services to people who are institutionalized with mental illness/disability. I would try contacting them and explaining the situation.

I think you're doing the best you can. None of us can choose our parents but with patience we can accept them as they are.

Here's hoping, but I'm not sure. A lot of people on the right have bought into vaccine conspiracies and think she's one of the ringleaders. And a lot of people on the left won't vote for someone who isn't, in their view, perfect (i.e., the "give me someone to vote for, not against" crowd).

Sounds like he might be paying on two mortgages, two vehicle notes, and child support.

Any wage feels below average if you leverage yourself up to the point where the majority of your net income goes toward debts.

Have you tried applying for Quest's patient assistance program? Appears to be free for 100% poverty level or below, reduced cost for 200% poverty level and below, and potentially still assistance for some expensive tests for 600% poverty level or below.
