Mom: We have nazis at home

Yeah, its their online-only bank.

I have no idea why some banks can offer those CD-like rates while others offer virtually zero. Capital One 360 Savings and Ally have similar rates as well.

One that earns you more than the default 0.15% or so that you earn on most savings accounts.

You have to do a bit of hunting, but for example, I have an account with Citizens Access that earns 3.50% last time I checked. It’s not much, but it’s better than earning nothing on the emergency fund that I want to keep liquid and accessible.

Easy peasy. Instead of making payments to your credit card, transfer the amount to a high yield savings account instead. Then use that savings account to pay your CC once per month. (Savings accounts typically have a limit on debits, but you can usually make as many deposits as you want.)

Enjoy the cashback AND a few bucks in interest AND having your checking account accurately reflect your “real” money at all times.

Is this going to be the next “Nothing can be done… says the only nation where this happens regularly” headline that gets posted several times per year?

A good brownie with sea salt sprinkled on top is most definitely essential!

Have you had the banana cream Twinkies? Probably not as good as the OG ones, but definitely a nice treat when you come across them!

These days I pirate the music, and if I like it I go back and buy the album directly from the band (when possible). If i really like it, I buy concert tix/merch. If it doesn’t tickle my fancy, then I don’t.

In either case, I don’t think the artist is too worried about the pennies lost from my Spotify plays.

Not sure if its national, but in the Midwest, we have Naf Naf Grill, which is like the Chipotle of middle eastern food. Delicious by fast food standards, and I don’t get why middle eastern / mediterranean food isn’t bigger in the US. And to your point specifically, Indian food seems like it would fit the same template really well!

Think of it like two groups of people in separate rooms with a large open window between them. Not everyone is trying to talk one on one to the other group all the time. And sometimes just feeling like you’re in the same physical space can be nice.

It’s not perfect, but in many circumstances it’s worlds better than having tiny portable windows that mostly facilitate one on one conversation.

I’ve thought the same thing, Trying to hold a video call between families using a phone or even a laptop is such an awkward experience, especially if you want to just hang out virtually for an extended time like you said.

But it wouldn’t even have to involve a separate box or docked phone. Everyone’s got a smart TV that can run apps, so all it should take is a USB webcam with a decent far-field mic.

But yeah, in general I’m surprised this isn’t more of a common use case.

I’m pretty sure the cancer is half the reason it tasted so good!

Used to drink out of the hose all the time growing up in the 80s, but it was usually after playing in the sprinkler or otherwise running the hose for quite awhile. But never really thought twice about it either way.

Now as an adult the hose water always has this super appealing nostalgic smell, but I don’t run it very often, and the idea of whatever might be lurking in that stagnant water just squicks me out too much to take a swig :(

Yeah, Lidarr is easily the weakest of the *arrs in my experience. As a newbie to setting up that stack, it was definitely nice to have a similar interface and functionality between the apps, but the last few months have me ready to look for something different for music.

As far as I can tell, no. I haven’t been able to search or import releases since about April.

I think the issue they are referring to is that Lidarr’s API or interface with the MusicBrainz database has been broken for a few months now, which means it’s impossible to search or add new artists/releases to your Lidarr library.

And as far as I can tell, it’s still down. I have been unable to use Lidarr for anything since about April, except for finding releases that I had already added to my local database.

Fella here.

Guilty!
