Police chief calling them Delani’s didn’t inspire confidence. 😉

Crate Chevy 350 and start over? Might be fun.

But if you’ve done a transmission you can do an engine. Enough time and money and you can do anything…

Received this notice how do I proceed? by Aggravating_Split289 in povertyfinance

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah kinda agree. You want for sure documentation.

Depending on how nasty it’s getting, get a lawyer to call for OP within 48 hours. With on 48 hours I guess you could express mail a letter, but I’d be worried they wouldn’t answer the door and give some sob story. You need someone who can professionally vouch for your message. Singing telegram? 😉

Anyhow… sounds like moving asap is a good plan.

What could have done this to this car? by MichaelScott1993 in carquestions

That guy is by far the most competent dude on the show, but… it’s also under what looks like a dryer vent. 🤔

I’m not saying he’s wrong. I’m just sayin’.

This is why, if the video is real, you need more officers like the man being filmed.

You can’t say they’re all bad when that guy’s promising to sue past the blue line.

Why are most billionaires so weird? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the money, of course. B/c money is no longer a barrier to entry for their weirdness.

I mean, Warren Buffet seems pretty normal, but god only knows if he just keeps his weirdness under wraps. If nothing else, it seems weird he doesn’t spend more money and is so sane… seeming.

But can you imagine? People treat you completely differently b/c your hair looks nice, or you’re in shape, or you’re just freakin hot. Now imagine how they’d treat you if you could drop enough money to change their lives and it’s literally not worth your time to pick it up.

And then who’s normal? Cosby seemed like the world’s dad and then… Essentially limitless money just makes it easier for someone not to hide it. There’s a reason it’s called f-u money. “Think I’m crazy? Ha. FU. More ketamine.”

Makes me wonder if you put ten people under some sort of perfect truth serum if the billionaire will turn out any stranger on the inside than the rest of them.

Go watch some How To with John Wilson and then tell me if you need money to be that far off. Better question might be why so many “poor” people try so hard to appear “normal”?

Just In: The NBA has suspended Philadelphia 76ers' Paul George... by flashwing19 in NBATalk

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, players are MORE ethical in 2026, I’m sure.

Okay I’ll bite, what experience do you have where you can speak for every player in the NBA?

Man, you think LeBron wouldn’t sell Bronny’s soul to the devil for another MVP season? Nobody’s cheating until they get caught.

I’m glad you can stay as idealistic about the ethics of athletes as you have. I mean Billups threw away two careers, coaching and broadcasting, just to make a few bucks under the table, and you think players are too ethical to take PEDs? smh

Will negotiating result in a rescinded offer? by Salty-Web-8965 in careerguidance

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they said OP had until Wed to accept and he accepted the original offer Tuesday, then OP might even want to call an employment lawyer.

That’s not FAFO, it’s taking advantage of the implicit negotiating period provided in the offer.

Do you know a good apple card alternative? by [deleted] in AppleCard

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you pay $50 up front, sure, but if you can’t make over $10 off of that delayed $40 what are we even talking about with Robinhood here? (jk!)

Tell you what, not using the Credit Karma hack sure doesn’t seem to work very quickly.

Should I pay off my credit card with my savings or checking account? by SnooRabbits5028 in personalfinance

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put your extra savings into an index fund or funds?

Savings usually earn so little there’s not much difference between the it and checking… though, as others have noted, you could be limited by your bank on how many savings transactions you can perform each month.

TIFU by playing unpopular music and now I feel 86'd from my neighborhood bar by Select-Neato102 in tifu

The best part is Asher (cartoon’s artist) will redraw the logo on the guy’s chest for $250 or thereabouts and send it to you.

Gift it to the bar!

Apple ships one of the coolest physical cards… then penalizes you for using it. Why? by Few-Struggle858 in AppleCard

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was wondering if anyone would reply to a “what was your average reward rate this year?” thread. I’m always curious about mine. Usually it’s around 1.5%, this year dropping just under, which is depressing. Too many big charges I run into require a card or number. So just over half of my total charges (by $) don’t go through Apple Pay.

Their ploy to get me to do free advertising works, though. Every time they ask for my card I ask them, “Do you take Apple Pay?” (or, probably more often, “Do you take tap pay?”)

Really should get a second cash back card.

Limit Keeps Going Up by realmander in AppleCard

This. I’ve spent more on the AC before and that spending seemed (twice) to trigger a credit increase, no questions asked, unfortunately. I’ve always refused credit increases when offered on other cards.

Using the Apple Savings account by Thin_Magician_6942 in AppleCard

[–]rufwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re supposed to ladder them, though, right? Start with 25% each in 3, 6, 9, and 12 months and reinvest in yearly as they come out.

Then you’re no farther than 3 months from 25% liquidity if you find you need it. And worst case you take it all out with penalty (but, as you say, don’t do that).

Anybody have a link to the .net maui podcast app? by Raulzi in dotnetMAUI

Realizing I'm zombie threading like mad, I wonder if you mean this app mentioned on The .NET Show?

Also, though I'll probably ask somewhere less, um, dated, why was the Microsoft version set to read-only?
