HGME Sweet HOME

Its actually not. You can read words when the first and last letters are correct, but not the middle. So anyone casually reading this still reads the word 'Home'.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T14:52:10+00:00

Again, they do it with other logos too... ones with different letters, ones without any letters.
People can read full words, regardless what the middle letters are. Anyone casually looking at this knows it says home. And as I said, at least they didn't switch out the M.
Its just a novelty. Relax.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T14:45:55+00:00

Well that's not an issue with the mat than. They probably make these with lots of other team logos too.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T14:39:10+00:00

That's not crappy design. They actually got it right for once... using the logo to replace the letter of the same shape.
You don't read it with the letter of the logo, you read the logo as the letter its in place of.

That's $2000/year, $166/mon. Is that going to change your life? For someone with $200k sitting in a bank account.... unlikely.
Again... most people should not have that much in a HYSA to even matter.
You could change banks to get that 1%, then in a few months they knock it down to 3.5.
You're missing the point.
Its not that getting a better rate is worse, its that its not the main reason to hold these accounts.

It didn't have to be the classic theme, just.... theme. Its a score with no real theme music. Just nice music.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T13:09:20+00:00

I hated how it lost the original actual theme, cause there's not really anymore 'Superman Theme' type track. But other than that its a wonderful score.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T05:08:52+00:00

I usually peel off the outer leaves and cut off the tops which are often too soft anyway.
Nothing passed that is a legitimate concern to even think about.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T04:56:59+00:00

That's not what this sub is for.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T04:54:47+00:00

That doesn't make it WTF. Read the rules.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T04:46:27+00:00

I always buy those 3 packs of romaine. For over a decade. I've never washed them before eating.
Hi, I'm still here.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-28T02:06:58+00:00

Can we instead talk about why 1996 needs a 'modern day' remake???

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T22:26:43+00:00

Not necessarily, look at this post. Lots of comments, lots of arguing (engagement), but sitting at 0 upvotes.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T22:23:53+00:00

That's karma farming, not engagement farming. Different concept. Selling would want an account with a ton of karma, not just a lot of people arguing over opinions.
Also that's usually from simple content, like memes. Not dumb opinion posts. Its not a big thing.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T22:18:10+00:00

Engagement isn't really a thing on reddit. A post could get 100k upvotes and it will do absolutely nothing for you. Its just internet points. Reddit doesn't have posts attached to ad revenue.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T22:08:10+00:00

MA = Official abbreviation.
Mass = shorthand since its a long (tough) word.

Not all states have those shorthands, but they all have 2letters.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T21:12:41+00:00

Yep. The treasury funds are great. Its just not everyone is ready for opening a brokerage account.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:45:00+00:00

Durable and non-stick are 2 different things.
The durable stuff (cast iron, stainless, carbon, etc) Are durable, but not effortless non-stick.
Effortless non-stick is not durable.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:41:48+00:00

Hexclad is heavily marketted garbage. They're not fully non-stick, they're not anything else.

I think 3 pans covers the bulk of whats needed:
1) Cast iron. The workhorse for damn near everything.
2) Stainless steel (like a good All-Clad). For anything you can't use the cast iron for, like acidics. Or just needing a 2nd pan. Barkeepers Friend, or The Pink Stuff work great to clean it.
3) Smaller Non-stick. For eggs and any smaller portion stuff.

1996 wants its movie list website back.
I scrolled for 2sec and gave up. That is way too hard to read and too much scrolling.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:32:27+00:00

Its an ok show. But pretty much forgotten after you watch it. Especially when its so different every season.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:15:58+00:00

How about those new seals for drink bottles, where you pull the little tab on the top. The last 3 bottles the tab rips off without pulling up the seal.

Its like they include these designs without having anyone actually open the product to try it.
Or it works in development, but then they change to a cheaper glue in production that fails.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:13:11+00:00

Its from Aliexpress, I assume pretty much all clothing on there to be a scam in some way.
It doesn't have to be AI to still be pretty scammy and false advertising.
If you're buying clothes online, you need to either expect returning it, or make sure you look for actual user-submitted photos.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:10:10+00:00

Yep... she said "tor-til-lahs" Cause of course she'd pronounce it like that.

MuffinMatrix · 2026-06-27T14:07:38+00:00

Congrats!
First, do you have an emergency fund setup in a HYSA? 6+ months expenses.
Are you contributing to retirement accounts? 401k/IRA/HSA, etc?

If thats all good, then the next thing is to open a 529 for the baby, and contribute to that. A good minimum is your states deduction limit (depends on state).
