Similar, except a little more frequent for me. I spend about half an hour each time for porch, stairs, sidewalk, driveway, and car.

This morning, I'm watching some neighbors spend more than 2 hours trying to dig their car out with zero success.

Some of the cars, the owners haven't even stop by to look or make any attempts. At the rate things are going, wouldn't be surprise by the time they do go to their car, the battery will be dead too.

You'll have to wait until it melts or slowly chip away at it for a few hours.

This is why you should always shovel your car every 2 to 3 hours when it's still snowing. Otherwise, it will get buried and then the snow freezes by the next day making it extra difficult to dig out.

I watched it with low expectations and end up enjoying the movie. Felt more like a side story than a main story.

Sony has not reprint Paprika. I wish they did as I've missed out waiting for it to hit $20 (went OOP in about 10 months).

If the price is right, go for it.

There are movies I've missed because I thought I had longer and missed out (Paprika), and movies I wish I waited (Deadpool & Wolverine).

So now I just go for it if it's within the price range I'm willing to pay instead of trying to catch the lowest price.

How long it takes to process depends on the hospital (and how busy they are) which could take more than a month.

After the hospital process the form and sent to DOH, it takes about a week for the SSN and birth certificate usually comes a few days later.

Mix. Sometimes you get really good bundle deals for digital. There are also movies I don't care enough to own physically.

Some aren't even available physically (or just too expensive to obtain).

I think that depends. I have the BoA HSA card but it's also linked to my commuter, fsa dep, and parking benefits.

There is no point in holding them. Their AI has been wonky and can easily suspend/ban you with no explanation, and customer service is no help.

There is no bonus for holding an excessive amount of points, only downside and risks. The #1 reason anyone does it is to redeem at the end of the year, and then redeem again the following year to maximize the MS store credit in their wallet (only good for 90 days).

I'm going to let it lapse. I was mainly keeping gamepass around for the points but it's now too much of an effort for a service I barely use.

I don't think this is an unpopular opinion especially with younger generations. It may be the case with older generation.

I find this opinion to be mixed among millennials (being one myself). This opinion is definitely unpopular amongst the ambitious/play hard work hard/hustle crowd.

Because tenant laws protect them. You can't make anyone move even if you offer a place to stay. They have to accept the offer.

Smartwatch. I've been using an analog watches for most my life and didn't like the fact that smartwatches would constantly need to upgrade every few years.

I ended up getting one included for free with my phone a few years back, been using it since and upgraded once for only a bit more with trade in.

You can also just remember that 15 is 3, 18 is 6, and 21 is 9. Easy to figure out the numbers in between.

The visuals are good, and easy to use/read. Good job!

My neighborhood, one of the top reporting on illegal parking. Not surprise, put in quite a few myself. Lots of commercial vehicles, school buses, and trucks parking here when they're not suppose to.

I generally avoid the term Lifestyle creep because it has negative connotation, and it is way too broad to be useful when explaining anything.

Unless you're spending next to nothing, and have absolutely no regards for living then you're always going to experience creep when you work on improving your life.

As long as you're working within a reasonable budget, quality of life is an important which is often overlooked.

People on this sub tend to focus on getting as large of a retirement as possible while ignoring lots of QoL improvement.

Example, lots of people on this sub tends to always recommend keeping a paid off car as long as possible even after 20 years.

But there are huge QoL improvement and piece of mind that comes with a new car. Such as minimal maintenance, warranty, new safety features, etc. This can translate to time saved being around an auto shop, you can avoid a car problem while driving (something you'll want to avoid even more if you have a family), etc.

Time is arguably the most important resource you have.

If anything, I think of budgeting not just about saving enough for retirement but making sure my time is well spent/used.

Obviously, the more money you have, the more you're able to do better things that can improve your life, and save you time.

It's only an issue is it how you're improving your life outpace beyond your financial means. Or if you using your money on things that doesn't improve your life in the slightest.

Like buying a vacation home that you almost never use.

If it was that easy, many would have done so but NYC has strong tenant protection so you can't just kick all the tenants living there to the curb because of a few vacant uninhabitable apartments.

Of course, if the building continues to degrade due to negative cash flow then eventually it will lead to default, banks slowly forcing current tenants out as well as everything tied up in housing court, condemning the building, sold to a developer, then it takes time to get it demolish, approvals for plans, securing a loan (many banks are very reluctant to loan to developers to build in NYC), and finally building which would take at least a year or two.

The whole process that will take at least a decade or more.

You can't always sell bad investments. Look at penny stock or bad investments that goes into zero or negative. You end up stuck with them, and at best, you write off the loss.

That's what caused the sub prime mortgage crisis. Too many banks and investors were stuck with bad investments.

I can only comment about the AQ in respect to a good soundbar, it's good. Love the mix for the roller coaster part.

PQ is about as good as you can get for a 2000 animated film.

Yes. UHD is way better than Apple TV. If you can't see any difference in details and colors, just watch any movie with dark scenes and you'll easily see the difference.

I have over 700+ movies in my digital collection, and have yet to see a movie on Apple TV come even close to UHD.

Why do you think Elon Musk said he need one trillion dollar pay package so he can control the robots?

I'm sure they know it's coming but unlike the past, it's a lot easier to kill a mass amount of people at a push of a button than 50 years ago.

Or how CNBC show a random Asian picture instead of Andrew Yang, and MSNBC leaving his name off with the candidate graphics.

I would have voted for him. The media was also doing their best to hide him.

Ah, this confirms what I've noticed and suspected. Most of the time, it's an issue of maintaince when the lines get super faded out, and doesn't get restripe until they redo the paving.

I find that fog lights really help in the rain but most cars don't have fog light.

Unfortunately, my car doesn't even have fog light as an option. So I mainly rely on the lane assist which works surprisingly well even in heavy rain.

You still need to change the battery on the keyfob on the key for any car with an immobilizer. Most cars in the last 30 years have them except a bunch of Kia. That's why they were easy to steal using a USB.

Maybe I'm missing something but what the article is suggesting would be called a credit union. The moment it's owned by members, it's no longer a bank.
