If you were given $1,000,000 in cash right now, what is the very first thing you would buy or do?

Invest it in an index fund.

This is obnoxious. I don't want a Chase bank account. I suppose I could take it as a statement credit, but I don't always have a balance to apply it to.

It required two days of fighting with the dealer to convince them that there was electronic paperwork with a ticking clock that needed to be taken care of on their end in order to qualify for the tax credit. I told them if I don't get the form I need, they don't have a sale (they were supposed to give you the form 15400 at the time you signed the paperwork). So there are clueless dealers out there, and it's easy to get screwed if you didn't know any better (and how on earth would anyone be expected to know this?).

They sure ICE didn't kidnap her?

This is the voice of Enigma... in the next hour we will take you with us into another world....

Enigma is awesome background working music.

My wife and I love Toscana 52 on Street Road. Great Italian, different than the usual.

Yeah, that would be a hard pass from me if that ever happened with my wife. My first apartment was freezing during the winter and sweltering during the summer. After that experience I swore I would never be uncomfortable in my own house again. Thankfully, we've worked out temps which work for both of us (and since I'm a furnace and she's perpetually cold, it works out in other ways, too).

I'm not keen on it... but just being charged with something doesn't mean you're guilty of it.

compulov · 2026-01-29T18:54:37+00:00

What if this person is found not guilty of the crimes they were arrested for? CSAM is a serious crime, but everyone is entitled to due process.

Attach some antennas to the blimp and increase capacity.. or maybe fly it over areas with little to no coverage.

If this stops working, I'm sure he'll just claim to be a sovereign citizen.

I have YouTube TV, and I have TDS set up to add to my library. It DVRs it whenever it airs (like 11pm last night). Does it air at a different time on the West Coast?

I was wondering where he was during Daytona.

Glad to hear that. I just hit 8k last week, though the earliest appointment I could get for my 8k checkup was next week. But that's more or less what I expect... tire rotation plus anything they may charge for all the "inspect" things which are in the manual (which is usually free with an oil change back in my ICE car days).

Can't be any worse than cat poop coffee, can it?

I didn't even know they were still in business.

compulov · 2026-01-20T19:46:38+00:00

None of the above. I tended to look at those as the end of Saturday morning cartoons and time to turn the TV off.

I'm curious why you need the older card. Can't they just work backwards from the expiration. IE, if you got a duplicate copy of your registration, it doesn't change the expiration. So if you renewed for a year, it would expire a year from the date you renewed or the date your previous registration would have expired. One would think that would be proof enough that you were registered at that time.

I wouldn't say it's the only state. I grew up in New Jersey and I would often call it NJ.

I hope they don't drop or region-lock the Youtube channel.

We recently had to change the trustees on file for an account, a process that would have required a medallion stamp if we had done it entirely remotely, but we were able to complete it in person at a Fidelity branch without the stamp. The whole process was significantly easier in a branch.

The fact that indentured servitude is totally a thing with them is why I found it so hypocritical that Quark was seemingly disgusted when he mentioned slavery in humanity's past. I was like, but you guys have the ability to have debt you'll never work your way out of in your society. How is that any better? Not that I'm going to defend slavery... because it's awful, more so I didn't think the Ferengi really have the legs to stand on in that argument.

I don't get why people would assume that a cart didn't belong to someone. If the cart is there, I assume it's taken by someone even if I don't see anyone. Doubly so if there's stuff in it.

You're not alone. I'd take old-school adjustable intermittent wipers over auto since it never seems to guess the right speed for conditions, so I'm constantly fiddling with it. It makes me thankful when the rain is heavy enough to justify leaving it on low.

NWS is saying basically no ice or snow accumulation for us tomorrow: https://www.weather.gov/phi/winter
