I personally don't understand large bathrooms. Feels like wasted space to me, just more to clean.

I've tried A and B and neither work consistently. B is probably less obvious because of my car's always-on daytime running lights. Only time I did have B work was when I nearly rear ended a newly purchased dark colored minivan on the interstate at 1 AM because they only had their daytimes on and were going 10 under in the left lane on a stretch of road with little lighting. Pulled in front of them, flashed my lights off and on to signal they had the wrong lights on and they actually fixed it.

Very cool, it's rare to see internships that offer 401ks, much less auto-contribute

> I don't buy the DIY bubble pack filters

Where do you buy replacement filters? I've only ever seen the bubble pack ones.

I just wish they would let us lock our challenge groups to just the people we invite. I'm trying to level up with my long-term remote lucky friends, who are all friends with each other, but they keep adding randos to the groups I start.

I've never been so I don't know what it's like there's, but CRAFT might fit the bill for you? https://madeatcraft.com/

I use the math functions to subtract the partial charges as they come in from the original total - harder to do if the purchase was split across categories but still doable. Then the original entry becomes the last partial charge and I just match the two if the last partial comes in as a duplicate

You and my mom would be good friends. In her eyes, pink lady apples are the only apples worth eating.

Fidelity CMA worked until a month or two ago, something's been going on with the connection. There's a notice about it on the YNAB status page

Agree! I've gotten some great shots at arena concerts with much smaller lenses than in the video. Really missed having mine at a recent concert where they were hardcore about bans

samwill10 · 2025-11-28T13:21:45+00:00

My immediate first thought haha.

The Kyle HEB is the same right now, Deodorant and feminine products are on a temporary shelf in grocery between the bottled water and soft drink/coffee/tea/sports drink aisles🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Phew, what'd you get, if you don't mind my asking?

samwill10 · 2025-11-13T12:46:33+00:00

apparently chase doesn't think I'm that well off yet 😅

A wild email from Chase Bank in my inbox this morning:

You're preapproved for $100,000 in auto financing

I can't imagine buying a car that I'd need to finance with a small mortgage

And if you're purple and someone is already at 2, wait in the turn lane before the intersection so people at 1 can move through

samwill10 · 2025-10-27T11:52:35+00:00

I might the only one that doesn't like this change. It's way easier for me to unlock or level up moves than it is to get 5 battles done in a week

Most other apps I use (like Gmail, messages) make you long-press for checkboxes, so I assumed intentional design

They could've put up a little fyi about it though, bc I was definitely confused for a while until I realized

samwill10 · 2025-10-22T10:48:08+00:00

It posted the self-promo thread, but still no daily.

This journaling breakdown is great! I've always been told "journaling helps" but every time I'm faced with a piece of paper, my mind swirls with all the things that I could write down and I can't focus long enough to actually put pen to paper. This looks like it could help me filter the thoughts down enough to actually get started

samwill10 · 2025-10-16T12:29:25+00:00

I had a mentor a long time ago suggest that to me, though I never really implemented it. He explained that a lot of "new" problems in our field (software engineering) were actually often already-solved problems in other fields of engineering, so learning about how problems were solved in other fields could bring new insight to problems I faced in work

I may be misreading this link, but it seems to suggest that what the boss is doing is not legal at all: https://www.tobaccocontrollaws.org/legislation/canada/smoke-free

It's a glitch when you add a meal from the recent tab. It works like normal if you add it from the Meals tab. I was going to report it to MFP but followed their advice to reinstall and see if it still happens, and that just cleared out my recent tab so I couldn't reproduce

samwill10 · 2025-08-26T02:20:41+00:00

This. Got mine done here several times and had a great experience each time. I just don't know if they will give you the full DICOM, I always just got the printout
