  1. Several years ago in Germany, we were attempting to wash clothes at our VRBO flat and under the sink were two bags of pods…one for the washer and one for the dishwasher. Both were in German and there was no graphic to hint at what each was. Decided to guess and guessed wrong. I don’t know what’s so different about dishwasher detergent but it caused all the colors to bleed and the entire load of clothes was ruined.
  2. I watched all but the last episode. I honestly don’t know if I liked it. I feel like there’s a much better 2:30 hour movie in there than what we got in the 10 hours.
  3. Damn, I’d forgotten about the Big New Yorker. That was the shit 20 years ago. PH will always have a place in my heart since it was the first place to serve me beer when I was 16. The waitress put one of those frozen mugs in front of me so I helped myself to the pitcher of Bud Light. Stole the mug to remember the occasion.
  4. He just has his own preferred caliber for killing children.
  5. My kid had On shoes about 5 years ago. You spend an absurd amount of time fishing rocks out of the holes. She was glad to get rid of them.
  6. Granted, I don’t pay much attention to these lunatics, but I read yesterday that Boebert’s husband was arrested years ago for exposing himself to teenage girls with one of the girls being Boebert herself. I’ll go ahead and post this for myself.
  7. I haven’t had one in 20 years but my move was to get a side of gravy to put on it. Mixed with ketchup of course.
  8. Texas 8th graders are quickly falling behind other states. https://www.axios.com/local/dallas/2023/03/27/texas-8th-graders-behind 60% of Texas students in grades 3-12 can't do math for their grade level, and 48% don't read at their grade level. Only 22% of Texas eighth graders get a degree or credential within six years of their high school graduation. Nearly a fifth of eighth graders don't graduate from a Texas public high school. Low-income students are affected the most by these challenges. Abbott…
  9. Well, I reached the limit of TurboTax with figuring out the kiddie tax. It says my kid owes $11,341 in taxes on an income of $12,744. I'm no accountant but I'm pretty confident that is not correct.
  10. He’ll never show the math on that. He’s been told by Fox News that dems are bad for his pocketbook so he’s never doubted it and ignores all the evidence to the contrary.

    Texas wants to apply the abortion bounty hunter law to drag queens and trans people in public. https://news.yahoo.com/texas-lawmakers-turn-abortion-bounty-220500464.html
  12. A trailer in the middle of a cow shit littered pasture. Sign me the fuck up.
  13. Looked it up. It’s just a separate form you add to your return.
  14. There’s this concept that adults get frustrated with learning a language because it is approached from an academic POV. The focus is on speaking perfectly instead of learning a language how you learned your native language as a child. Don’t waste time on conjugation, sentence structure, etc. Spent a month learning the most common 400-800 words in a language. For the native speaker it’s like talking to a child but you are able to communicate perfectly well with this limited vocabulary. It’s based on a British Navy program after WWII when they set about spreading English to other countries. The motto was “It takes only 400 words of basic English to run a battleship; with 850 words you can run the planet.” There are videos on YouTube about the process and pocket books on Amazon of the most common 800-1000 words and simple common sentences for most languages.
  15. Is this the who has a micro peen poll?
  16. That sucks. Skirting taxes isn’t what it used to be.
  17. I did get a 1099 in her name so I’ll go ahead fill her first return. ‘Merica!
  18. Finally getting around to doing my taxes. My 16YO kid had $13,000 in capital gains from stock sale proceeds. She has no other income so this amount is well under the threshold for owing any taxes at all on those gains. Does she need to file a tax return if there's no income other than the capital gains and there are no taxes due?
  19. Then there’s my kids’ school that’s probably the whitest in town.
  20. In Australia, a spider kills a snek. I don’t know who to root for.

    WTF is that Nancy complaining about? I sit in 107, right over the visitors tunnel and next to the supporters section. It’s a drunken riot fest. What’s he expecting?
  22. To clarify, each person needs their own Apple ID. The credit card can be the same but the card should be in each person’s name. I’m not sure if sharing an Apple ID or if loading a single credit card in one person’s name onto multiple devices would give each user a different encryption number.
  23. Nope. I have one credit card with my wife and kid on the same card. It worked perfect. We all had it on our Apple Watch and tapped in and out using it on the tube and busses. My understanding is that when you tap from the card/phone/watch each has a different chip encryption number. That is what the Point of Sale sees, not the credit card number. It’s why your card info can’t be stolen when you tap since the CC number is never exposed. If you old school swipe the card instead then that wouldn’t work because the POS sees the credit card number and then it would conflict with multiple cards having the same number.
