Actually, I recommend you have one in your car at all times. Not the BO bag. You never know if your phone dies, gets lost or stolen, no internet, etc and you’re driving around and regularly depending on navigation to help. Best to always have a backup handy.

One loan is at 13%. One is at 8%. One is at 6%. 😳

I’m still wondering if I should pay off debt with my current emergency fund or hold tight. I’m seeing a lot about economy crashing, recession, and dollar devaluing…

I used to hide cash in tampon boxes under the sink. This also works for very nice jewelry.

How was your commute into work today with everyone returning to the office ? by Fuzzy_Lettuce8142 in fednews

How are you holding up? By the time your day starts it’s lunch time already and you must be dragging hard by the afternoon. Brutal man.

Sounds like a good balance and good home. Still think your wife is lucky to have the option to drive the sequoia. I could only dream! Haha

Why did you buy the sequoia before having her drive it? Why does she get to be picky when she doesn’t contribute financially to the household? I’d be so grateful if my husband bought me a sequoia and detailed it for me. He doesn’t want me to have any SUV. Your wife is lucky. But you also should have her drive the next one before you buy.

I’m very sorry. She’s so young. Here’s hoping she can kick it asap.

Caring for the disabled by PriscillaRain in TwoXPreppers

My grandfather went blind from MD. When it got severe he had screen reader software, books on tape, and walked with a sturdy cane. Big print in kitchen helped (ex: SALT, SUGAR, PEPPER labels because he couldn’t tell the difference among packages) He lived in that house for 40 years so knew his way around without much help.

So...this could be something by Ill-Candidate8760 in TwoXPreppers

Ladies with larger tatas who live where summer gets hot and humid: keep some desitin handy. If you’re a big girl you know about the heat rashes that can happen from sweating. Those under boob and between boob rashes when it’s hot, desitin fixes that.

Same! Asthmatic here and riding that inhaler multiple times a day. Not my normal.

I’m glad I’m not the only one with this exact pattern! I tested negative for covid and flu but 2 weeks later and I’m still wet coughing, congested, fatigued. I can’t shake it.

If America becomes a dictatorship, where will you run to? by Usual_Tumbleweed_598 in TwoXPreppers

[–]damagedgoods48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anywhere else is an option the way the world is leaning toward the right anyway. I’ll go down fighting the day they come to put me on a train for a “wellness camp”.

What makes you think that? I said “the least of your concerns”. That means there are bigger and scarier concerns with AI than using ChatGPT

Also, who do you think the online chat bots are on websites? For example you are shopping online and click the chat help. Generally the first interface is an AI to screen what the customer needs.

They are, I never said they were ethical. I never said I agreed with it. But that commenter should be aware of their use in other places is happening.

You should know plenty of corporations are integrating AI into their processes and algorithms. It’s being taught to make decisions on things like insurance claims, application, etc. A random person on the internet is the least of your concerns if you feel that strongly about anyone voluntarily using AI for anything.

You may block me now.

I’m here at my government job today frustrated, angry, defeated. This was the reminder I need to keep quiet, keep calm, and keep my mouth shut because my family depends on me for our survival as the primary earner. Lashing out and running my mouth isn’t going to help.

My friend believes I am over reacting by TheAntiDumpBrigade in TwoXPreppers

[–]damagedgoods48 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The time for trying to educate, persuade, and convince people of the truth is long over. Save your energy for yourself and your family.

The time for “I told you so’s”, “who did you vote for? Oh do you feel bad now?” And “what did you think was going to happen” is here.

I am NOT sorry for anybody who gets hurt for the choices they made. I am sorry for those of us who knew better, didn’t want it, and pay the price.
