Any time in the last 10 years I've dealt with any type of contractors or getting work done on my house there's always a surcharge for paying with CC. It's consistently been 3%. When I did my patio room renovation I literally went to the bank, and paid $3 for a sheet of checks (since I haven't...

It's Saturday night... in my book, that's TATER TIME

I know I'm probably an outlier but for me it's that I'm in cybersecurity sales. And the nature of my work is base pay + commission , and it's usually starve, starve, starve, HUGE ASS DEAL, starve, starve, starve... As such I have learned to live completely off the base pay and then the...

This is why I'm a proponent of "Just put the card fee on like a tax, pay with cash, save the 2-3%". See how fast some people move back to cash, and stop imposing a penalty on the merchant.

True, but also if it's through Fidelity they could inadvertently become the easiest to use Fiat on/off ramp so long as their services include "Send crypto to my wallet for cold storage" and "receive crypto from an external source" (which they would have to do if they wanted people to move their...

But the crypto nerd in me will keep repeating the holy mantra.... "Not your keys.. not your coins.." Are they just doing this as a custodial? Or are they developing an actual wallet with keys and such to store? Looking at that the only way it would be able to do those things would probably...

We might still have a problem...

That was actually a clapback to something one of the Astro's said when they backed into the division title because the Ranger's lost the last game of the season....

Turning off entertainment center : Tested that last week. No difference. Turning climate control completely off : Same : no Difference. I figured I'd give the dealer a shot before I go to the point of testing/disabling things under the hood, which is where I'm at now. And worst part (which...

Did the RPM check. Got to 40, put it in neutral, revved engine. Whirring sound goes up in pitch directly correlated to RPM, and down when RPM subsides, regardless of moving speed. Yeah, this afternoon is going to be a call with the shop as to what they have determined, and seriously...

Since I have shrimp in there a bunch of those balls are tourmaline (which give shrimp beneficial minerals). That thing that looks like a kettle bell is actually a sentimental/historical thing. So it's aquarium story time with Haus! When @Mrs. Haus and I first started dating she had seen that...

The other oddity is that it starts once I get past 20mph. And there's a faint audible click when it starts. Then if I go under 18-20mph there will be another faint click and it will stop. So it's something that's engaged/disengaged. Seriously thinking about one of those noise trackers and...

Yeah, my current suspicions are either the transmission, or one of the two turbos (which operate off RPM obviously, but only kick in when in gear and needed... Which is exactly when and how I hear this sound) Sounds like that gadget from Amazon might be worth it if I have to solve this mystery...

I think the biggest thing said in the last few pages of this thread are that the super hero movie genre as a whole has gotten to the point that not only are they producing crap, they're producing such forgettable crap that many of us have forgotten the crap (i.e. Shang-chi, Eternals, etc...)

On a trailer next to me as I was driving home the other day...

Took my car to the dealership because I can't figure out what's causing a whirring I have heard whenever I accelerate since I took a shredded 18 wheeler blowout across the front of my car. (only happens when in gear, but somehow the whirrr varies it's pitch to my RPM, not my wheel speed) It's...

Replanted my 20G tall and added decorative colored shrimp (Red, Orange, Blue, and some striped orange).. who promptly hid and I haven't seen them since... Asshole shrimps.. The tank... This tank has actually be running for almost 10 years now. The fish you see are like the great...

So I'm gonna have to go have a finish to my sports cry after this but.... There was actually a reason. LeClerc has NEVER pitched three days in a row. Would you want to risk that? Also Sborz had his game on.

Rangers twitter is on tonight...

My bet is he has large money somewhere riding against the Rangers....

As a lifelong Rangers fan allow me to sing you.... the song of my people. NO LEAD IS EVER SAFE! NO LEAD IS EVER SAFE! NO LEAD IS EVER SAFE! Don't trust any pitcher! NO LEAD IS EVER SAFE!

I know I'm a Rangers fan. I know the national broadcasters aren't going to be the homers that the home broadcast team are. But I swear I have not seen a broadcaster slurping one particular teams ballsac this hard in possibly my entire life.

Just when you were thinking... "Gee, it's been a while since Haus dropped more potato based content in here"....

I think the government won't have an option other than to fire the QE machine again. But I don't think that will happen until after the next presidential elections, probably mid 25. New president gets sworn in, decides the only way out is to grow our way out of debt, plugs the QE machine back in.

Home costs update continuously. Rents are paced to the usual 6 month or 1 year rental contract terms, but also rise, just slower. The cost to own an apartment building isn't going up for any given apartment building past what property taxes increase so long as the owners either own the...

Why would I replace the coax? Unless something eats away at it? But yeah, if I wanted to just drop $200 I could throw a HD Homerun box in the house. But that also adds complexity to the Google TV setup (You have to choose the HD Homerun app and navigate that and I'm dealing with a 74 year old...

And then have to run HDMI cables to three different rooms in a house that was built in the 50's? ;)

I have yet to see an adapter that goes RG style cable connector to HDMI.... This is just your standard OTA RG style connector.

OK. OTA dilema for my mom's house. I have antenna runs to the TV's in the house. But one of the TVs is an older HD set. It's great, and the right size (55") for the space, but it's interface absolutely sucks. My mom is used to the Google TV she has in her room, so looking for a google tv...

Ever since that incident Rangers fans have been showing up at games here when they play the astros with their own trash cans with Astro logos on them.

I think they're delaying it because they want to do multiple movies month after month next year to re-establish themselves as legit. I think this is one they're just starting production on :

"If you're not cheating, you aren't trying hard enough" - B. Belichick

Oh, and as for the last series. It was interesting having a series where there was functionally no home field advantage in terms of fans. With the cities only being a 3.5 hour drive apart there were easily 30% or more in Astros fans at the games in Dallas I went to. And for those who don't...

One thing I took from the game last night... The Rangers have gotten very much into the "big ball" game and sprinkling the occasional nice baserunning work into it. The Diamondbacks are purveyors of the old school "small ball" manufacturing runs method. Part of me wishes the Rangers had a...
