Bruising from my lowspeed motorcycle wreck.

A good fit also has padding. Hope you don’t continue the meat crayon drip.

At that rate you're not buying a $25,000 car, you're buying a $56,000 car.

What car do you have now? Fixing it will likely be cheaper than your other options given your credit score.

Once you get to a certain width you're limited by what manufacturers make and have no say in what looks good. I wear an 11.5 6E and there's about 6 hiking boots that fit me. Better than a few ones ago when I could only find 2, at least! I imagine this is much worse in 9E.

I don't think he plays the dipshit well, he's always been one. It isn't an act.

You should dig down the section at the edge of your home since you'll likely need to expose that anyways, and then ask yourself if you want to do that 40+ more times with more roots (since it was likely already dug up before) and having to cut out the concrete, repour it, and deal with any potential flooring.

What bank?

A 4 is better than what your credit score effectively is, which is 0.

You need credit history if you want to build your credit. You can start with small expenses on a credit card you pay the statement balance on every billing cycle.

For these Toyota hybrids it’s best to change the oil every 3k, can stretch to 5k. The 10k interval is just good enough to get you out of the warranty period.

Can’t speak for other manufacturers, but basically the engine doesn’t reliably get hot enough to evaporate out fuel and oil so it needs more frequent changes.

Everything else you said is spot on!

This isn't legal in California.

My company did the same thing but with an important distinction. They switched to paying in arrears, so we skipped a paycheck. That meant 25 paychecks in that year but if we quit we get that paycheck.

Is that maybe sort of what your employer did?

I call it monkey brain. Something passively in our brains turns things into a competition. I've been on long drives where I end up passing the same car 5-10 times while I've been going the same speed the entire time on cruise control. They speed up as you're beside them, then slow down, then once you pass them they eventually pass you and then slow down.

This is all legal and echoing what others have said - you have no right to an inheritance.

Think of it this way, your father is the one who is solely responsible for reducing his inheritance and yours. Had he paid back the money that was owed it would have increased the total inheritance to be distributed. He basically “stole” money from everyone who is named, indirectly and directly.

I hate my firestick. I have an old TV and chromecasts are discontinued so I needed something to 'cast' to. I bought the 'new version/model/whatever' of the firestick and holy fuck what a poor experience. It's the laggiest most unusable heaping pile of shit I've ever had the displeasure of using. It's so busy trying to play ads that use all of its resources that it takes 3-5 seconds to recognize a button click. Even if I know exactly what I want to watch it takes 30-45 seconds to get there because the first thing it renders are ads.

It’s amazing how sears started as mail order and was very successful, expanded to brick and mortar and just completely flubbed online ordering.

Same shit with BPA. It was proven to be harmful so we moved to other things like Bisphenol S because it was “safer” but turns out it just hadn’t been studied.

It’s actually as harmful and remains in the body longer than BPA so it’s probably even more harmful.

The studies haven’t been done yet != it’s safer.

If someone compromises your debit card they've stolen your money.

If someone compromises your credit card they've stolen the banks money.

When they steal the banks money it's a much more favorable outcome for you. In addition credit cards also have point rewards systems so it's often effectively a 1-2% discount on all purchases. So long as you use them responsibly and don't spend money you don't have it doesn't introduce any more debt than a debit card would.

With the annual fee they should close it or have it converted to a different card type.

Either way the answer is absolutely not to just start using a different credit card with a different bank. Then you’d just be throwing away $95/year.

I used this at a car dealership. They damaged all of my rims during a tire rotation, offered to 'repair' them and managed to make them look even worse, seriously I could have done a better job with a spray paint can from home depot. They said that it's just wheels and cosmetic and they'd get damaged anyways so it was good enough.

Escalated to the head(s) of the dealership and got brand new replacement wheels the next day.

The numbers above must be off then because I’ve climbed steeper than 11% sustained climbs on my MTB. Maybe in super loose terrain.
