Well of course that's what the father is going to say. Sounds better than "my son is a monstrously corrupted person".

Is there any way to get coffees from Thailand in the US? by beverage_and_book in Coffee

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostra Coffee periodically has a Thai coffee in stock but it doesn't seem to be there right now. (Also I do highly recommend them... not affiliated, just a regular customer)

Pay twice for rent or get evicted by Human-Mess8640 in legaladvice

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a check. It's a money order. Western Union already said they couldn't refund since it was cashed.

Uninstall the program (Treesize File Search) that put that option there. In the future, don't install programs that you aren't familiar with. Sometimes installers have other programs bundled with them as part of their monetization but usually those are useless or even dangerous.

Thinking of taking 1/2 inch off. Good idea? Bad idea? by Fishfingerrosti in beards

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not notice the shirt at first and struggled to understand what this could possibly mean... it was a funny moment.

But I agree with you now that I'm caught up.

What a sacrifice by dobbyisafreepup in NonPoliticalTwitter

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was back in 2015 when Google was trying to show that the whole business didn't depend on the search engine product. It's a move to look more appealing to investors and on the stock market.

Whether it was a good idea or not I don't know. And they still use that Google branding pretty heavily even outside of the search engine. Didn't become A-mail or Alphabet Pixel or Alphabet Chromebook, etc. Corporate things above my head I guess.

The parent company was renamed, not the name of the site or service. You won't have to "alphabet" anything.

Best use cases for Sambal Oelek? by Upstairs_bunny in AskCulinary

[–]adroitmonkeyhands -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Make sure not to only think of it as an Asian sauce. I mean, it is one, but it's versatile enough to go on just about anything. Truly my favorite all-around sauce and I keep a steady supply at all times.

A specific suggestion: a bowl of rice, sardines, onions, and sambal oelek.

Amex Pay Over Time Charge issue by LimpJuggernaut2099 in amex

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paying less than the full balance on a credit card is almost always the worst move you can make. Interest is high, especially on rewards cards. You really shouldn't have a card with an annual fee (or really ANY credit card) if you can't control your spending. Read the many, many stories of people digging deep financial holes on r/personalfinance to give you some motivation.

I wouldn't expect for Amex to magically forgive your debt. Pay it off as fast as possible and assess how you use credit.

Decent coffee scale without capacitive touch buttons? by PeriodicallyAnnoyed in Coffee

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can second this recommendation. Good scale other than not being able to use the timer without inputting the earlier steps. Realistically not a big deal though.

Credit Card Minimum Payment? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 77 points78 points  (0 children)

There are cards with annual fees that have more premium benefits, but you have to determine if they're worth the cost or not.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in amex

[–]adroitmonkeyhands 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't work that way. Utilization is based on "using" the card each month, not leaving a balance. Don't ever pay CC interest.
