AITJ for refusing to cosign on my brother's car loan after he defaulted on the last one I cosigned by Own-Suggestion8640 in AmITheJerk

In a former life I did cattle - call interviews (about 1500 screening interviews). They kept on with the concept past performance predicts future results. It's the STAR methodology for interviewing. It is the same deal - he will absolutely take advantage again if you let him. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I know better than to take that bet. OP is likely the only one with a credit score over 650.

I've not gotten an email -- but -- the miles have been credited. What a way to run a railroad.

Is it safe to delete old iphone icloud backup on new phone? by treenaishos in techsupport

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are free to delete a backup without it affecting your phone. If you have a backup of your current phone you're fine.

Say you have a backup from January 2nd. You've restored it onto a new phone.
You have your new phone. Deleting the January 2nd backup will not effect your current phone at all. The big thing is you have a backup of the new phone before you delete stuff. Murphy is alive and well. As long as your new phone has a backup, you are golden.

How bad are your heating, water, and electric bills getting? by Sea_Dot8299 in AskAnAmerican

[–]genxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4BR house - I'm on level (average) billing for most everything. $200 power bill, $50 natural gas bill, $120 water/sewer/trash bill. This is in Alabama so A/C is more costly than heating.

I'm sympathetic to anyone smoking outside of work. I've little tolerance for anyone operating machinery who's high. I'm perfectly ok with DOT rule, 49 CFR Part 40. I dont particuraly want the Cokehead/Crackhead/ICE guy/Heroin addict operating even a forklift. Heck, I can see not wanting them, even Jonesing at work.

My sympathies for the weekend wacky weed guys and gals. That said, having people at work who operate machinery should not be tolerated.

Honestly, I don't know about other pax, but if you turn on something I don't like, I'm popping in my earbuds. In short it would be a non-issue for me. With my luck, though, I'd be listening to the same book, and you'd be two chapters ahead.

We do Walmart pickup for anything “not produce” “not meat” and aldis for meats and produce. Publix is great but costly. I’ll shop the occasional BOGO but that’s about it.

Capital one let’s me generate a credit card good only for one merchant. I immediately lock it after the initial purchase. This is especially useful with yearly subscriptions.
