Does it get hot by your front door or in direct sunlight? We have a few in my house that go off if our kitchen gets too hot. We had to move them down the hall slightly and they stopped. A really old one we have upstairs, hardwired into the house electric (built in 86) trips if too much steam builds up in the bathroom and let’s loose into the hall.

More of a “well we got what we could get while we could get it”

Which is ironic as fast food used to have 2 appeals - quick and cheap.

I’m not sure how quick they are these days because I can no longer afford it.

Well, they said it was a regrettable mistake! A whoopsie! Clearly, they didn’t mean to do that, so we should still support them.

Where is the red line? Have we misplaced it?

It’s a vicious pinch, rent rates going up preventing you from saving while housing rates (and minimum down-payment if you want a decent monthly mortgage/interest rate) are going up at the same time. My wife and I got lucky and we own our townhouse, but half of the properties vacated in our neighborhood either through eviction or owners moving out have all been turned into rental properties owned by a corp. It’s fucked up, they want noone to own anything anymore so they can get richer through obscene rent hikes every year… And we live in MD. I can’t even imagine trying to survive in NY or any other big city.

Also OK Cupid, but my wife and I also knew each other back in high school. So that was our icebreaker. Ok cupid was the only dating app I could actually use because everything else required a Facebook profile, which I do not have…

“Setting limits like this will hurt our industries/economy too much!” -some politician probably

At my last job we actually had a guy die of a heart attack right on his forklift. Not a public spectacle, but it made me realize how bad that company actually was. His position was filled by Friday…none wanted to tell the guy his predecessor just died right there on the forklift he’s sitting in a few days ago.

Maybe the percentage is exaggerated, but I have no doubt that more people are having trouble keeping debt under control. I’ve hit a point where my debt is indefinitely growing, despite throwing every spare cent at my cards, and I’ve always been good with my debt. In the process of not using one of them, another gets piled on. Half of my pay goes to mortgage/utilities and the rest goes to my cards which are used for gas/groceries/dog food/emergencies. I’ve cut out everything I can at this point. My wife and I haven’t gone out to dinner in almost a year, no vacations, and I’m hesitant to even take a day off because I will only get 8 hours of pay, losing the overtime. All of this, and my card debt still goes up every month by about $50, which isnt a lot, but it’s unsettling that it’s at a point of steady increase. In a few years, at least one of my cards will be maxed or close to it. One emergency like my last (3k in car repairs) will immediately max one of them. The only other options I have at this point are giving up my dogs, or starving myself. The working class, even the responsible ones, are struggling.

I guess the best I’ll be able to do is take a half day off work on the day of my funeral.

That’s beautiful! Zelda is one of my all time favorite game series, just had to compliment that one!

I love that green GameCube! I can’t zoom in well enough to 100% tell, is that a triforce and master sword?

I got my wife’s ring on etsy. It’s pearl and opal, but there are a good bit of jewlers on etsy. I would do a bit of research on the shop before you buy though.

There is no way this is a real thought process lmao.

You and me both. I had a 97 Dodge Dakota Sport, which is barely bigger than my CUV. I miss that thing. I hauler a fridge in it once to help my friend out. Haven’t had a need to haul a fridge since, but still, never know when a truck bed will come in handy lol. I just hate that the smallest size now is enormous. Even “sport” models are what used to be standard size anymore.

It’s a pickup truck. And probably not used for anything a truck would be used for. They’re everywhere in America and just as annoying.

I personally don’t see the point in having a vehicle this big unless it’s used for work (hauling materials and towing trailers) And 95% of the time, it’s not.

That’s not an SUV… But yeah it looks like they backed up ONTO the curb, that’s pretty rude…

TBH I feel like any social media platform, regardless of voting displays, has the potential to become a toxic environment.

I’m with this guy. Do what I can to help, and carry on with my own agenda. Can’t control something? It is what it is. I wasted a few years of life worrying about the world as a whole when I should have been focusing on my own little bubble.

The chipotle/Qdoba near me has gone way too downhill in the past few years for me. The burritos used to be huge, now they’re the size of a small potato. Also 50% of the time they mess up my order and I don’t realize until I get home and open it up.
