I’m assuming you’re American… If you have an SSN, you will get credit card offers. It’s called prescreened offers. They get that information from credit bureaus, which already have your SSN. You can opt out if credit card offers and the bureaus selling your data for 10 years I think.
Kara was effectively stealing 20% of LRT fares over the 13-year period; one in five coins that were fed into the machines by the paying public ended up in his shaving bag, amounting to around 2 million customer journeys. It seems inconceivable that he wasn’t caught sooner.
This really does seem inconceivable. I’m an industry accountant and worked in the safe room counting drawers for a supermarket and a cafeteria. I lose it when I’m not balanced, even $10 on a 200k deposit. How… How was someone not noticing 20%?? Hell he deserves it with the lack of controls in place. Maybe things were different then…
Ozempic is the big one, but there is Rybelsus, Trulicity, Wegovy, and others. They are for treating type 2 diabetes, but have been very popular for preventing type 2 diabetes, aka weight loss.
Look, you’re never going to change the ‘lazy’ person, that’s just how they are. You’re also not going to change how the ‘hard worker’ person feels about the lazy person. What you can do is change how you react to this situation. You’ll need to set some boundaries. Tell hard worker “listen, lazy is my friend too and I really don’t like it when you talk about this person behind their back. It puts me in an uncomfortable situation and I would appreciate it if you would keep that topic to yourself.” Friendships evolve and this will either make it or break it. If it breaks, then hard worker was never that great of a friend to begin with. A friend respects boundaries.
Im having difficulty finding names I like. I need two - three names that roll off the tongue and wouldn’t be out of place with a long hyphenated surname....
Keeping the rule of shorter first name with longer/complicated last name, I picked a few from my future pet possibility list. Pets names at our house generally have sci-fi origins.
Usually the community is built on a hill or a mountain. Often times the highest part of the town, geographically. The incline may be gradual or subtle, so you may not notice that it’s taller than the rest of the area.
Similarly when streets (in the US) are named High St., it’s literally the highest street in town.
The past few weeks maybe even over a month, I’ve had no luck getting a box of Morton’s kosher salt. Anyone else having problems getting it? In the southeast us if that matters.
I believe there is a kosher salt shortage right now, not just Morton’s.
Editing to add that I had heard this a few months ago and now I can’t find a reputable source that supports that. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. Hehe
I’ve really fantasized about being able to view my stats after I die. I come back to word counts pretty often. Or how many “near misses” I’ve had, if any I suppose.

One reason people get radicalized online is that meme culture can quickly reduce issues to a punchline or a call to arms. And by circulating entirely online, with no checks on factuality or origin, memes and the joking around them can convey messages and provoke reactions with none of the back-and-forth that happens in person, let alone the learning acquired through research or deep study.
The realtor is doing their best… “Are you looking for a unique home with ample space to create and make your own. This home boasts a large unique master bedroom, living areas and bathrooms. Come take a look, see the possibility and turn this into your dream today.” 🙄
like what are the best methods to get the brain active to create something, most of the things i want to require an idea but the truth is i have nothing and im not sure how to get an idea or if its even possible for me due to my autism or how my brain works....
There are some good suggestions, but I want to mention that you are being a bit hard on yourself. Pressure will not help creativity. Give yourself permission to relax. And realize that it gets harder as you get older, but don’t punish yourself for time passing.
Echoing the others here, give yourself time to let your mind wander.
Care to elaborate “MFA via SMS only”? I’m not in tech and know MFA through text is widely used. Or do you mean alternatives like Microsoft Authenticator or YubiKey? Thanks!
I’m thinking about proposing to my girl, however we both think diamonds as a standard is stupid and overrated, we both prefer much more colorful and comparatively cheaper gemstones like rubies and sapphires, but I’m having trouble finding a good place for that, I’ve never done this before, any ideas?
I have a moissonite ring, but it looks very much like a diamond. If you’re looking for something different, I would check antique stores or estate sales to look for a second hand gem. You can always have it put in a new setting if the ring is too dated for your tastes.

When a place is called " Heights", what does "heights" mean/refer to?
For example, in Washington Heights and Golan Heights, what does “heights” mean? What does it tell us about the place?
