I always fill my tank completely because that gives me longer range and fewer trips to gas stations. So it rarely ends up being an even dollar amount.
The numbers move so quickly that I’m not even sure how it’s possible to stop on an even dollar amount unless you go inside and prepay?
Yeah the zip code reassessment seems like the most likely explanation. Maybe the rate of accidents, car thefts and vandalism went down in OP’s zip code, so the insurance company lowered their premium.
I recently moved one mile away to a different zip code and GEICO increased my premium from $130 to $175 which I understand is very expensive for what I’m getting for coverage. I’ve never filed a claim, never been at fault for an accident, my car isn’t worth much and my only traffic violation was speeding more than a decade ago. Weirdly enough my pet insurance premium decreased by $25 when I moved. 🤷♂️
I’m not following, how is this sticking it to the man?
Everyone loses here though. Walmart will only lose money because people can’t spend their SNAP money there and it’s not like they’ll be spending it at more ethical stores.
Agreed, it’s super unlikely we’ll have free and fair presidential elections again anytime soon. MAGA will illegally hold onto power for as long as possible and that could be decades.
Same here, skin is perfectly fine without moisturizing. But I also drink like a gallon of water a day.
I recently switched from Spotify to Tidal. Tidal sounds better on my car stereo and doesn’t have podcast/ebook crap that I don’t need. Tidal recommendations are almost as good as Spotify, but it’s improved a lot this year and it’s catching up. Tidal recommends a lot of music that’s in genres I normally wouldn’t explore but I end up liking many of them, while Spotify recommendations are completely locked into the genre of whatever track/playlist I’m listening to.
I tried Qobuz and Deezer too. Deezer Android app was unusable because it’s so outdated and poorly designed, while Qobuz recommendations were so bad that I’m convinced they recommend completely random tracks as opposed to using an algorithm.
Well, I have a very specific play routine I do with my cat almost every day that no imposter could emulate. I’ll point at her and exclaim, “YOU!!! I know what you’ve done!” and she’ll take off running for her life and I’ll chase after her. When I finally catch her, I ball my hand into a fist and shove it in her belly and she gives me rabbit kicks and sassy chomps.

I’m a 6’2" guy and people only mess with me if they’re intoxicated. I’m always completely aware of my surroundings unless I’m in a crowded place that should be safe (like malls and airports).
All my sketchy encounters were on public transit, so I no longer take it in my city (transit in Denver is THE FUCKING WORST). I’ve been threatened and followed multiple times by drugged out weirdos, but let me tell you about the two worst incidents: 1) I was jumped and attacked by a random guy at an empty train station, there was nobody around to help or even witness and I ran for my life as he chased me; 2) guy at a bus stop recognized me from my workplace and he followed me on the bus to my girlfriend’s place and then on another bus back to my home and he started hanging around outside my workplace hoping to run into me. So yeah most of the time I’m hyper-aware of everything happening around me in public and you’re right to be as well.
Nothing personal
Sure sounds like it’s personal. But if all of us are to blame then please enlighten us, let’s hear about how you would have prevented Trump from coming to power a second time if you were American.
That’s the one I immediately thought of too. We use my girlfriend’s sister’s account to binge classic shows, but it routinely plays a completely different episode than the one we selected. You also can’t pause most episodes, so you have to exit the episode and then start it back up again and find wherever you left off. And on top of all that they show ads for their own shitty shows before every episode – dude we’re watching Andy Griffith, clearly we’re not the target audience for your G-rated “Friends” knockoff.
Not sure if you’re being serious, but yeah we have guards pretty much everywhere in the US, particularly in cities. We also have guards at grocery stores (usually multiple guards, and they’re usually cops in uniform hired by the store) and at discount stores and sometimes on buses and trains. I’ve even seen them at convenience stores and cell phone shops. My apartment building has an armed guard on site with their own police-clone patrol SUV from like 10pm to 6am every night, I’ve had to call them a couple times and they arrive faster than the cops.
The US is a violent shithole and the guards primarily keep away sketchy troublemakers (except in larger stores where they’re useless and only used to deter shoplifting).
Learn from my experience!
I was obsessed with the same thing for a time so I bought one of those blue ear bulb syringes to aid with earwax removal. I’d put earwax removal drops in my ears, wait a few minutes and then use the bulb syringe to rinse the drops out of my ears, before squeezing the remaining water out of the bulb syringe and setting it on my counter. I did this almost every day for weeks.
One day I noticed a bit of gray earwax coming out after squirting water from the bulb syringe into my ears, like a few small chunks of it. I was so excited, my persistence was finally paying off!! The next day I did it again and there were even more gray earwax chunks!! Holy shit, I must have knocked something loose! Third day it happened again and this time I was suspicious, so I grabbed a pair of scissors and cut open the bulb syringe to find that it was full of mold. I’d been squirting chunks of mold into my ears and when they fell into the sink I thought they were earwax.
Now I use a translucent bulb syringe that’s split in the middle, so I can take it apart to dry properly and I’ll see if anything is growing inside of it.
If you haven’t tried then I recommend hydrogen peroxide in your ears. I dilute it 1:1 with water, but some people use it straight from the bottle. It feels SO GOOD and helps with earwax removal.
I randomly point at my cat and tell her, “YOU!! I know what you’ve done!” and then I run at her. She immediately goes WILD and starts tearing around the apartment and doing little lion roars. If I stop pursuit too soon then she’ll taunt me by jumping over me on the sofa over and over again until I continue chasing her. When I “catch” her then she gives me a sassy slap in the face and scampers off.
But that would require getting up off my sofa and walking across the living room.
I was intrigued by your description but also thought I’d hate it. Gave it a listen and was pleasantly surprised, he’s super talented and his music is totally unique.
I’ve been getting into tech house lately. It’s fun and catchy with really satisfying bass.
I lived in a cheap studio in Boston that was infested with roaches. Every 3-4 months I would spray Raid where the walls met the floor and that always worked well until they gradually started appearing again.
I lived in another studio that got a bedbug infestation. My building’s management paid for the place to be heat treated – they wheeled in two giant space heaters and had them powered by a generator on a truck five stories below on the street. I never saw another one again, but it destroyed all my books.
Nowadays I’m way more picky about where I live and I haven’t had any pest issues in over a decade.
Usenet for obtaining movies and TV shows, it’s so much better than torrenting. I only pay for one streaming service these days (and only because they’re fairly small and I really like their content).
