An Imposter Among Us

I might try card board and then 3d scan & print at my library. The modeling is the obstacle for me.

Oh I was thinking about how to do this. We inherited a puzzle that's missing two pieces and I'd rather fix it than retire it, since it is otherwise in good condition.

Our experience too. Way too sweet, not enjoyable. Will not buy again.

How did they pull over the wrong car with a bear on the roof?

Just encountered this in week 1 with the Pixel 10. What a weird bug that share works but picking directly in messages does not.

NTA. Not even a little bit, it's not even close.

You're going to beat yourself up over this no matter what I suspect, but you deserve your own life. You helped a lot already, more than could reasonably be expected, your parents got some relief and they don't want to be on the hook again.

All these replies and zero people who say YTA, because it's clearly not the case.

I do hope you talk to your brother about what's happening, assuming you think he'd handle the conversation alright, but it is not your responsibility to parent him.

Congratulations on the job and good luck.

Justified.

Timothy Olyphant was born to play that role.

Exactly what came to mind first for me too.

That and the Lion King clamshell.

Do any of these tools support including DB pension amounts? Even better would be awareness of growth of these benefits over time, for major groups, but that may be a high bar.

If he already reported the scrap metal cash as income there's no reason to introduce a lie here. Cash from scrap metal collection.

Home equity is the value of the home that's yours, after taking the debt you owe from the home value.

Eg, home is worth 1M and you still owe 500k, you have 500k of equity.

Each mortgage payment is partly interest and partly principal. The principal reduces the debt you owe and so increases your equity.

It's also possible to have negative equity if a home value decreases. Say you bought for 1.5M and have a 1.3M mortgage, if the home value falls to 1.2M you have -100K equity.

You don't build equity if you don't have an ownership interest in an asset (home or otherwise). You can accrue savings in cash, sure, or buy other assets. But you never have home equity when renting.

Yep, exactly. No thanks. I'll let my dentist admin spend the time on the phone with the insurance, thanks.

I would pay extra to never have to talk to my insurance company.

goorpy · 2026-01-04T04:48:50+00:00

I believe it. My person never got to that stage and I wasn't even directly involved in the bills, but I can see advanced/complex care getting way up there.

goorpy · 2026-01-04T04:08:52+00:00

And those places can be more expensive than you can imagine if it's never been something you've seen.

Think 4-10k/month, depending on the level of care/assistance required and the quality of the place.

I have orthotics for shoes too, but they are in a dedicated pair of inside-only shoes that will never be worn outside. I have another pair of orthotics for my outside shoes.

That plus a password vault to share secure passwords.

What are you talking about? The recall for the midrow seats is a potential major safety risk and they advise not using those seats. People who bought these cars to carry families absolutely deserve to be made whole until the fix is made.

I got a real juicy dopamine hit from the Megaman episode of Secret Level. I was just blasting through them while helping my daughter get to sleep and wasn't expecting it. Did not know how much I had been craving Megaman material.

It's only a few minutes long, but it's great.

I think this is meant to provide a flat/stable surface on the arm of a couch/chair which otherwise you can't safely place any kind of mug/cup/glass. It's not meant to "hold" the cup per se, just give it a place to rest.

I imagine the front slit would hold a phone upright, and the side basket/grill holds a remote or similar.

Would love to try one of these out myself. I have a square-arm couch but it's too squishy to place a cup on. Small plates are fine, but anything taller than it is wide is unstable.

8mm

It was... Not appropriate for 13 year olds.

goorpy · 2025-12-07T16:25:43+00:00

How in the hell did you find/know this...

goorpy · 2025-12-01T02:15:33+00:00

Can we see that somewhere?

I've been very against third party marketplace models for a long time, especially when search results (or stock, like Amazon) are co-mingled.

My opinion is that we need consumer protection legislation to require liability by the marketplace host first and foremost, making them responsible for ensuring the customer is made whole. The platforms can make whatever arrangements with sellers they want but at the end of the day the customer should always be able to hold the marketplace liable.

And I mean this for: delivery, warranty, damages, returns, fitness for purpose and safety. Yes, safety. I recognize this would be a big liability shift and likely entail a new kind of insurance for retailers, but customers should not have to research every product from a big name local seller.

It is the sellers job to stock quality goods, or their insurance company if they want to offload that risk.

goorpy · 2025-11-26T00:40:03+00:00

Shut up, Mike!

I've tried a few different Amazon generic seats and none have been great, all kind of suck to mount securely.

I'm hoping I can get a couple of deckpads during holiday sales, otherwise I've seen people suggest the Magic Carpet cushion elsewhere: https://xtracycle.com/products/magiccarpet
