You get what you pay for, though. I’ve had nothing but good experiences as an Amex card holder. You need to live a lifestyle that gives you opportunities to use the system, but you can offset the cost of even the Platinum charge card if you sign up for, and then use, all the perks.

For how I use it, I’d say it pays for itself.

edit to add: their customer service is always stellar, and their disputes department are really effective.

Excellent.

The tears will be delicious, and I shall slurp them.

SLURP THEM, I say!

You could source a pair of gigabit media converters and a length of fiber on Amazon for about $100. Just use the media converters to extend the Ethernet port from where the Internet hands off in your house over to your office. You can affix the fiber along baseboards and up over door frames with adhesive cleats and zip ties, or those nylon staples on a nail they use to tack down coax cable.

If you’re willing to spend a little more on the fiber for a custom color, you can probably even order the fiber in a more neutral color than SMF yellow to blend into the trim better.

Just Jersey things.

Smashing Pumpkins 1979 was released on their 1995 album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Its already much longer between 2024 and 1995 than it is between 1995 and 1979. Almost by twice!

I remember the actual 1979. Egads, I’m old.

The article discusses several classes of medication, and calls out a few brands. Here’s the digested list:

• Diuretics (“water pills” commonly used to manage high blood pressure and some kidney diseases) make you pee.more -> dehydration
• ACE inhibitors (blood pressure management)
• Beta Blockers (another class of blood pressure medication)
• Calcium channel blockers (another class of BP meds)
• “Antipsychotic medications such as haloperidol, olanzapine and risperidone”
• “Some antidepressants” which lead have side effects of excessive sweating and repressing thirst -> dehydration
• “Stimulants, such as amphetamines and other drugs used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder”
• “Some over-the-counter antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), promethazine and doxylamine (Unisom)”

Short story longer, if you regularly take any of these classes of drugs and heat advisories are actove, be sure to follow precautions and stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities, wear loose, light colored clothing, and consider adopting a neat looking wide-brim hat as part of your summer “look.” I’m going to shill for Tilley hats here, because they’re rugged construction, timelessly stylish, and are appropriate in most situations.

Not great, he’s kind of a Meathead.

If you’ve ever played Paranoia RPG (1984), you know how this ends. At least in the game you had clones for when you got fragged by the computer.

Every animal?

I think the humans lose. I can’t even keep mice out of my garage.

Hot take. Tell me more about me?

I specifically didn’t add commentary, but yeah, that was one possible read… 😐

“It is always preferable to emphasize a person’s actual gender rather than potentially calling their identity into question by referring to the sex category that was registered on their original birth certificate,” the guidelines say.

It’s never a bad day for bratwurst, hey??

Prediction: this will be the basis of their appeal.

If I’m wrong, I shall record the fry-up and consumption of a delicious bratwurst.

Comedy is an art form. You need to commit to the joke.

I have. It usually stays off until they rig the cabin for final approach. Comes back on for landing but hey, whatever?

I’m getting beaten up for my stance here, but seriously: if all it takes to put you over is some midflight ads the do the rest of us a favor and don’t fly. Take a train or whatever.

Y’all are acting like they’re gonna strap us down and tape our eyes open like that Alex Whasisname kid in A Clockwork Orange. I assure you that doesn’t happen for another 22 years in this timeline (give or take).
