I was envious they got to work on a dude ranch!
  • For some reason I can vividly remember a scene where the son tries opening a locked door with his dad's credit card and it breaks in half. Then he goes to tell his dad but luckily for him his dad gets a new CC in the mail that day.

    That and one of the female characters has my name which is the only place I have ever heard of a female with my name. Which is perfectly fine but when you are little kid it's not so fun!

  • What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?
  • It's so hard to find remotely good games now... I have hit the point that I don't even bother looking at anything but paid offline games but even those often have microtransctions. I am glad that you can get a refund most of the time as long as you only used it less than an hour.

  • Constant clouds over US Great Lakes area could hurt residents’ mental health
  • Yeah... I have lived in MI for 39 years. It's always been super cloudy but we also have IMO some of the most beautiful natural resources around so even if it is cloudy there are plenty of ways to get out of funks. There are only so many places that you can see multiple inland freshwater seas in a single day.

  • The Self-Checkout Nightmare May Finally Be Ending
  • It would be insane to take them out completely they are an introvert's dream and most people prefer them for smaller shopping trips. Now if every store went to the scan and go model then I would be okay with them being gone. Scan items as you shop and then pay from your phone. The only interaction is an employee at the door just quick checking your receipt by scanning a few of the items. It's glorious.

  • You have to earn $115,000 a year to afford a typical house now in the US
  • Home owner's association. Neighborhoods have common needs such as landscaping and other infrastructure that doesn't fall in someone's property. In theory these make sense, you have a group of people who set guidelines to keep the neighborhood nice. However, what often ends up happening is the group pushes their own agendas and it is no longer for the common good.

  • Meta Threads engagement has dropped 50% in a week
  • I got firstlastname on Gmail and I find it a curse now. There are old people all over the place with the same name that simply can't remember their email address and end up using mine. I have had everything from non profit fun runs in North Carolina to aerial crop photos from Idaho that apparently farmers pay for? It was like a $100 a month service... . Luckily I use first.lastname so I can filter out their emails quickly since they never have the . Occasionally when it's an email from a small company or something like that i send responses but most of it I just junk now.

  • Would a Hula Hoe work well enough on these rocks? Or should I just shovel up everything, re-tarp, and re-rock? Other suggestions?
  • I just had to do this in some gravel. I used a shovel and and metal rake. Shovel to loosen everything and then rake to get the plants out of the gravel as best as possible. For what it's worth, people are very split on if putting landscaping fabric or tarps down actually does anything good. I know I just redid all my mulch and I didn't bother this time. I did the last two times and things just grew on top of it because dirt will accumulate on top it no matter what you do. Most people in groups that hate grass say cardboard is your best bet.

  • Cordless Blinds - bad luck or something different?
  • I have cordless blinds and rarely have had any issues and the issues I have had I was able to fix. I once read pull them straight out perpendicular to the window until you feel a pop and then it starts working normal again. I am not sure if that is what you meant by exercising the tension mechanism, but if not that has worked every time for me.

    As for if it's the cordless blinds, I have $7 blinds from Menard's, so I am not talking expensive or nice by any means. I assume they are store brand, since they are 27x64 and only $7. 3 kids that kept destroying blinds for one reason or another, so I ended up going cheap and they are going 4 years strong.
