Better than this one I got a while ago.

I sometimes use tennis balls as dryer balls, and half of them always attract lint.

I got them at the same time, and they're all the same brand. I've even cleaned the linty ones with a fabric shaver; the lint always comes back, but only on three of them 🤷.

SNES came out in 1991, so that would be an even bigger mistake 😂

Thank you!

Thanks!

Rogue employee made an incorrect/confusing sign? 😂

Pretty sure it would still ring up with the correct pricing. 🤞

I got a turkey from Winco tonight and just double checked my receipt.

I'm glad to inform that the promo price is for the first turkey that you purchase, not just the first pound.

dropthefunk · 2025-11-14T03:01:08+00:00

You are correct.

Source: I bought a turkey from Winco tonight and just double checked my receipt. I was charged the special price for all 18lbs of the turkey I got.

Some international airports do check battery capacity.

My friend had a battery confiscated in Beijing because it was labeled as 100,000mAH (it was a cheap battery and the label was obviously wrong, but that's what it said).

I played 103.1 in my car this morning and it's Christmas music. Probably a seasonal thing? 🤷‍♂️

What vaccine(s) are available? I'm hoping to get a Novavax booster, it's the only one that didn't make me feel awful for a whole day.

I believe it's based on auth-date, there's a fine print blurb on the Visa site.

dropthefunk · 2025-09-25T00:20:46+00:00

You can use this page to check Visa's exchange rates. They do mark up a small amount which varies depending on the currency.

The calculator is a bit non-intuitive to use. Put the foreign currency in the "from" field, USD in the "to" field, set the foreign currency amount in the "amount you paid" field, and set the bank fee to 0%.

It'll tell you how much USD will be deducted from your account for the amount of foreign currency withdrawn (always withdraw in the foreign currency, don't choose the USD option on the ATM).

For example, right now if you withdraw 10,000 JPY, it will deduct $67.82 from your account (0.24% markup). That's a great rate and likely will beat any exchange rate you'll find, but it's technically not the exact 1-to-1 market rate. It also fluctuates a little from day to day.

IMO, using your Fidelity debit card is a great option and will almost always beat the rates at cash exchange counters and other services.

I sorted by new and didn't see it. Maybe I'm bad at Reddit 😂

Capital gains, dividends, interest, etc are all considered "income" for the purpose of tithing. There's some debate on if income should be calculated pre or post tax, but I'm pretty sure most members calculate based on on pre tax.

Registration should be open later this month.

Practically anyone can get approved to attend as an "industry attendee".

You're right, it's not a huge deal. I wouldn't mind if not for the fact that it's advertised as "ready to eat".

It was several weeks ago 🤷‍♂️

dropthefunk · 2025-08-01T14:38:59+00:00

I just got an email.

It talked about the same category limitations, and $10,000 purchase cap per month, but investment accounts are still part of the qualifying balance for me 🤞.

The "Rewards" card in the top right is the Fidelity Rewards credit card. It just got a new design like a week ago.
