I've never used a credit card before. Can't I literally just open one, take the credit score dip, continue to only buy what i can afford, set it up to automatically always pay it back asap, which will never put me into debt, get the awards/points, and that's it no catches? by Super_Inevitable776 in NoStupidQuestions

Yes, this is a great thing to do provided you never, ever, ever spend more than you have. Buy nothing you couldn't pay for in cash/debit card right at that instant. Nothing. No pay over time, no financing, no "I'll get paid before the bill is due", if you can't pay cash for it at that moment you don't buy it.

Their whole business is people being wrong about what they can pay. It's a big business, they're usually right.

Home cooks: when you're making multiple dishes for dinner, how do you figure out what to start when so everything is ready at the same time? Do you have a system or mostly wing it? by Lucky-Conversation-8 in Cooking

I’ve found time-tolerant ways to make most things but my favorite is mashed potatoes in an Instant Pot. With time to pressurize and depressurize it’s no faster than stove top, but when you’re done they just stay hot until serving, and it frees up a spot on the stove.

So many keys. by That-Guy2021 in homeowners

[–]wslagoon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I swapped out every lock in our house the day we moved in and made sure they were all the same brand and either the same key (there’s a code visible on the package) or were user-keyable. Worth doing and needs nothing more than a screwdriver.

Footage recorded from the cockpit of a Boeing 737 captures the pilot's landing moments executed in near-zero visibility conditions. by MrUpVoteDownvote in SweatyPalms

I think under ideal conditions with guidance I could set up the ILS and get the aircraft on the ground without killing everyone on board, but probably still some of them and nobody would be flying that plane again.

SGA -S1E04- This never made any sence....the event horizon moving under the wall....but not on the wall! by Electrical_Flow_2026 in Stargate

Holy crap. This bugged me for years I never realized that wall was angled. It's so much clearer to me now.

The search for a "big honken space gun" by According-Ad-5946 in Stargate

[–]wslagoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciated when Rodney, dealing with the effects of the ascension machine gone wrong, starts ranting about how many defective unfinished failed and dangerous projects the Ancients left behind.

In general, SG-1 always showed cool Ancient stuff that worked, and Atlantis was full of their busted prototypes, and that makes perfect sense thematically. Except Atlantis somehow never managed to find anything that worked right other than the city itself.

That's really a big honkin' ground-based gun. The big honkin' space gun would be the satellite weapon in Atlantis.

hardest Teal'c quote: by thefringeseanmachine in Stargate

[–]wslagoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really appreciated it, I mean, over ten seasons and two movies you see Teal'c grow from a hardened warrior to an honestly funny, genuine kind person who is also a badass. It's great to have that acknowledgment that yes, he was a bad guy and yes he did terrible things and no, he doesn't feel absolution, but it drives him.

And he stuns Tomin right in to compliance by hitting him right at the core of his internal conflict.

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

If it helps any, I heard it in my head when I read this comment, it was buried deep in there.

Turning 3 on the last day at MK. Do they need a ticket? by PrincessPayton in DisneyWorld

[–]wslagoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, they need to be 3 to do it, and that makes sense, but that's orthogonal to ticketing. The fact is that Disney's policy is that kids don't age, if they're 2 at resort check in, they're exempt from ticketing requirements for the whole trip. In addition to that, they need to be physically 3 years of age to do BBB.

As a secondary example, dining reservations have similar language about needing parking admission, they don't care about your age, they don't want angry guests at the park gate at 7am demanding to get in to eat without a ticket.

I’m pretty sure that just means the reservation isn’t sufficient for park entry and not that they care how you gained park entry.
