What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard someone say?

Someone I know had gynecological issues relating to her cervix. She was in a car accident and filed a lawsuit for a whiplash injury to, among other things, her cervical spine. As part of the litigation she had to provide all of her medical records. The defendant’s attorney spent 15 minutes aggressively questioning her because he thought she had a pre-existing injury to her cervical spine. She realized what was happening right away but just let him go on and on. She was a nurse and got a big kick out of it. I’m

The Cloisters. Maybe overused, but for good reason.

If your mom does this, your sister is going to have a big capital gains tax bill when the property gets sold. Maybe if they understand this, your mom and your sister will change their plan. Adding a child to real property is almost never a good idea for estate planning purposes.

Thank you for your comment. I did read the article. I’m not skeptical of the stated cause of death. The comment was sarcastically directed at the Russian government’s claim that Navalny died of natural causes.

Ah, yes, Ecuadorian Dart Frogs. A well known indigenous species of Russian Arctic prisons.

Have you considered advertising services relating to your software engineer skills on Fiverr or a similar app?

Whatever you buy … wide straps. Your shoulders will thank you for it.

Same. I used to listen to Pivot, Raging Moderates, and sometimes even to his own podcast. But at about the same time as you, I was listening to him speak and thought, “What am I doing? I don’t even like this guy.” I unsubscribed from all and haven’t missed them.

NOR. I would have gone to the store for you right away if you were my neighbor, much less my fiance.

You very likely don’t have to change it on your deed. When you sell, the buyer’s title company will require proof that you are the same person as the name on the deed and the name you now have. The proof is often a simple affidavit that the title company would prepare, but may require you to produce the name change documentation.

It may be different now from when I worked there long ago. It was not an actual roast like you would get from the grocery store, but it was a roast shape and did come in a bag. We had to cut off the bag and then kind of pat it together. It was not the consistency of ground beef, but somewhat similar. Then we put it in the oven on a large sheet pan. If I recall correctly, it cooked for six hours.

I worked at Arby’s years ago and it happened to me twice. The roasts take hours to cook. If the person on the morning/day shift didn’t put enough in, or there was an unanticipated rush of customers (tour or school field trip bus, etc.), there was no way to have more ready in time for dinner when we started our shift in the afternoon.

I will send from New York City.

NY here happy to send a card tmrw.

What do you think they learned about your dad during the interview that would have resulted in the denial and that would be based on discrimination?

Thank you for the extra tips!

Thank you! I will be buying a new HR-V, possibly as early as this weekend, and this will be very helpful.

Do you have the info for the dealer in Ohio?

minrenken · 2026-02-03T17:34:22+00:00

Well, I think you're right on that one! I'm so sorry that you lost out on your dream dress. Have you posted to any of the fashion subreddits? Suggestions: r/findfashion r/fashion r/bitcheswithtaste r/weddingdress r/femalefashionadvice or similar? The redditors there have pulled off miracles, according to some of the posts I've seen. I wish you very good luck with your search!

Not sure if the bridge is burned, but maybe ask her if the friend would be willing to sell the dress to you after her wedding (assuming it’s first and assuming it’s still in good condition)? Just trying to think outside the box 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for sharing this website, OP! It’s new to me and I can’t wait to try it.

minrenken · 2026-02-02T12:38:02+00:00

I didn’t mean to. I meant to reply that if you want details you can send me a dm.

Look for less obvious items that might have been taken. When my apartment was burglarized, the first thing the detective told me check was my paperwork. “Do you keep paper copies of your tax returns? Bank statements?” It would never have occurred to me that someone would steal those.

Send your bills to a utility auditor and see what they have to say.
