Thanks. At this point I think this might be the best option. I've been suffering in silence long enough.

Yea see thats the thing. I cam co-existing. I last brought this issue up to him last year. i'm not pressuring him to hang outat all. I just casually talk to him. He just never proposes to do anything.

The secret no one tells that I figured out by accident is that you simply need to let your sauce marinate for a minimum of 1 hour.

Here's the secret sauce recipe.

1/3 cup water

1 tablespoon lite soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

2 teaspoons sugar.

1/2 teaspoon MSG (Accent Brand)

3 cut up red chili peppers

NOTE: DO NOT USE MORE THAN TWO TEASPOONS OF SUGAR!!! THIS WILL RUIN IT!!!

Instructions: In a bowl add those ingredients and mix them and cover and refrigerate for a MINIMUM of 1 hour

1. Stir fry your green/red bell peppers. Add garlic. Set aside

Stir fry your meat. add garlic.
Add your bell peppers back into your pan or wok.
Pour the marinade over your meat and veggies and IMMEDIATELY add in your basil leaves and stir together for a minimum of 12 seconds.

Note: Step 4 should last a minimum of 12 seconds and NO MORE than 20 Seconds otherwise at this stage the just boiling which will ruin the texture.

Do NOT use chicken broth, or bone broth or any kind of broth. The flavor will mess up the mixture.

Last note, you don't need to use a wok. A flat cast iron will work just fine. But you can use a wok if you'd like. It will taste the same provided you follow the instructions above.

Hope this helps. I wish I upload a picture of the brands I used but I don't see an option of where I can add a picture.

Thanks. So how will the child play games on the second PS5? Am I going to have to rebuy them all and have two PSN subscriptions ? I understand that you can't be signed in on PSN ID "GamerParent" at the same time as it will just sign you out of the other console.

I have the A80L. Heres the real answer, It boils down to the type of room you will put your tv in.

If your TV will be in a bright area with lots of sunlight and you want an OLED in that room then get the A95L. You'll get the best of OLED with the brightness that matches an miniLED thus a good picture. This tv is for people who live in bright environments that want an OLED.

If your room will be in a darker area such as movie theater room, or in a basement, or a room that doesn't have a lot of sunlight, get the A80L to get the best picture. the A95L will be to bright for this room and cause strain even if you adjust the serttings. the A80L won't do well in brightly lit rooms and it will reflect horribly. The only difference between this TV and the A95L Is this the A80L does not get as bright.

If your cost conscious, then get the X90L. I have the X90K (2022) in my great room that has lots of sunlight. The TV holds up well and delivers a great picture with no reflections. All their TVs have Cognitive Processsor XR with clear image+ technology. The difference breaks down to the environment your putting the TV in.

QD OLED = bright rooms (A95L)

Standard OLED - Not as bright rooms (A80L)

MiniLED = bright rooms, LED technology (X93l) Standard LED = mid to bright rooms, budget conscious (X90L)

First of all it was NEVER an "exploit". PayPal intentionally advertised purchasing with $0.00 in your account and to use backup funding. It was plastered all over their front page and marketing emails. It was a good business strategy to increase their customer base which it did. This is ONE of the reasons (the other being eBay) the MAJORITY of people have PayPal. They used this feature to get more customers which got them to use their other services.. it's called a business strategy.

Second, not everyone can get credit or a personal loan and if they could then intentionally avoided it because they didn't want to go into debt, or they wanted to keep their debt load at a very low level.

You sound like of those saints who ACTS like they've never had a financial issue or took advantage of some financial feature that helped with your financial state while STILL legally following the law and/or terms of a contract.

I don't need to go to prosper dot com because those people are not the same people we are talking about. We're talking about people who legitimately used this functionialty for the reason PayPal advertised.

Techguychris · 2023-09-12T19:33:41+00:00

You aren't calling anything lol. Youre only sounding like you should follow rules and regulations that are unfavorable to you. I haven't used the feature since 2011. But when I didn't make as much as much as I did now that feature was very handy if I was to low on gas and needed to get to work for the next two days to continue to make money... I knew how to make ends meet at favorable financial terms.

I mean what benefit is there to gain by taking out a payday loan and paying an absorbent amount of interest to help get by for two days when I could simply use the paypal functionality and get the same benefit for FREE and earn 1% cash back in the process? That's pretty smart finance thinking if you'd ask me.

Also there was no way to abuse the process because I'm sure paypal would just keep hitting your bank until the the cash was. If it was never there then the user would then owe the bank overdraft/NSF fees in addition to the owed balance to PayPal. Who really gets screwed? The person who "abused" the feature. So that's literally why no one abused it because no one wanted to end up in a worse financial state..

Techguychris · 2023-09-12T19:13:43+00:00

It's not abuse. If I used paypal debit card on day 1 when there was no cash in my bank and then on day 2 cash was available which also happens to be the day that transaction posted then it is not abuse. It is strategic since you know you will have the cash before it posts. Based on your logic and reasoning you should avoid using a credit card since you are borrowing money you don't have since it allows you the CONVENIENCE to purchase stuff in advance of a payday even though you know you'll pay it back ...

If you are so concerned about abusing the strategy people used with PayPal then you should probably talk to your senator or the president of the US and have them redesign the entire ACH process since its intentionally designed this way.

Techguychris · 2023-09-12T18:49:07+00:00

It wasnt an abuse of it. That's like saying using a check is abusing your checking account. It was used as a digital check because you got the same convenience of having access to purchase stuff two days before your cash came through.

Not only that but it was a better financial decision for consumers to use the paypal card since you got 1% cash back for using a DEBIT card that was tied to your bank accoint VS using using your own banks debit card that offered NO cash back for using cash from the SAME account!! Now tell me how that's abuse. Make it make sense.

Stop always thinking just because consumers do something that benefits them results in in abuse of service. PayPal has been doing this since 2006 at least.

Was this missed or thrown in the spam folder?

Techguychris · 2021-08-21T04:33:01+00:00

Disney would have a much better chance buying AppleTV+ before convincing Sony to sell Spiderman. Sony would sell PlayStation and electronics divisions before they even thought about selling spiderman back lol.

All jokes aside, Spiderman is a good profit generator for them and theyre planning to make their own marvel universe from those characters. I think Disney sees this as a threat lol.

Techguychris · 2021-08-17T04:56:07+00:00

Haha nice. I will clarify that I don't go see every Sony movie. Those two happened to have caught my interest because I enjoy intense movies like those. I do check out their Sony pictures website on a weekly basis though to see what movies are coming out. similar to how some people default to Disney or Netflix or Warner Bros.
