  1. Party like it's 1999.
  2. Oh damn, Auto Zone. In a weird place, and that zone was a shit hole. Weird place, weird shopping trip.
  3. For real? I bought them yesterday, haven't had reason to try them yet. $40/box.
  4. It's dependent on your profile and the recipient's profile, along with how each bank decides to calculate the risk score. According to Wells Fargo I can send an "unlimited" amount on my side (25 years with them, FICO 790) but would be limited by the other side. I recall one time I had issues sending over $1k but don't recall the exact amount, and the dude said he'd run into this before. I'm pretty sure nobody ever is going to send $13k. I think you can call your bank and ask, but this would depend on them calling their bank to find out. Oh, also, first-time sending is lower than multiple times to the same person.
  5. Every bank involved, and a lawyer, said no. Or, that it could only be done in some extreme cases. This was Justin falling for the common lease deposit scam. Proven scam, cops and lawyer involved, two banks, everyone said it can't be reversed.
  6. Wait, Zelle will never let you send $13k, so never mind. But it's great for small stuff. Bought a gun that way.
  7. Zelle is fine with me, not reversible. (As I found out when a friend of a friend got taken in a scam, as the one paying.) I've used it to pay and to receive on the spot doing a deal. It clears in seconds (technically, while you can use the money instantly, the ACH happens as a background transaction at the fed in six hours). No paper instruments of any kind, no way, unless you meet AT the bank and the bank verifies it. There is no such thing as a provably good check, draft, or order. Anything can be faked. I'd accept a wire, nobody has asked. I've done a deal at the bank where they were financing, and the bank offered me a bank check or direct ACH to my account. Obviously, I trust the bank to "send the money later" with an ACH. I sold a boat to someone where we had time for me to have it picked up, checked by a yard, she sent ACH, and a week later I released the boat to her shipper. Paypal has reversibility, I would not take it for an on the spot transaction. I know this because a seller tried to scam me when I used Paypal, and I was able to recover against him (hidden damage they specifically said was not the case).
  8. This must be because they charge so little for registration and losing money.
  9. Don't know about your area, but here we can go to third party title places, pay $5 extra, and leave in less than ten minutes.
  10. I don't understand how the state that covers silicon valley can be so far behind on tech.
  11. I ate early last night so I woke up actually wanting breakfast. I just had an avocado toast sandwich with Beyond Sausage, on Dave’s whole grain 21 seed bread. I will probably end up blowing dudes behind the electric car charger at Whole Foods after this. Neither Dave's nor Beyond are totally perfect whole foods, but both are really good. This is a treat that I call 80% healthy, again on the pork rind scale where those are 0%. Another occasional breakfast I forgot about is this, which is damn good: https://www.samsclub.com/p/tattooed-chef-organic-acai-bowl-fruit-granola-frozen-4ct/prod23191549?xid=plp_product_1
  12. "No title" is the keyword I look for to assume "scam." It takes minutes and $4 to get a new title here (just did it last week), so lack of title to me says either scam or a low effort person and I question the item's maintenance. Nice boat though.
  13. Huh, I have that pile of 80s Craftsman I recently found, maybe turn it into more toy money sensible savings?
  14. The study is done, after three rounds of the A/B group avocados. I have four left to "dispose" of. None arrived ready to eat per my standards, although they claimed they were ripe and even had a label saying so. Do people really like their avocados kind of hard? I don't want them super mushy, but they should be at the point where you could mash them with a fork into guacamole (or just to spread on toast, because I'm a hipster millennial liberal). The B group today was still slightly too hard. A group was perfect. I think the B is the "lasts an extra five days" group. The B is also far less flavorful. If I'm right, this experiment is a total failure. Every B avocado has been less tasty than the A group. Though one A fruit had a black spot inside, probably from bruising, and just a small one.
  15. LOL, no, and she clearly ordered an open box deal. Which Amazon would have taken back with full credit and free shipping. Idiots. Most one star reviews are retarded. https://www.reddit.com/r/onestar/
  16. If I'm boiling something in the microwave I'm using these, no mess, and then I can eat at my desk or walking around using the handle. Or close the vent, and take it in the car or on the bike to go. They seal reliably. https://smile.amazon.com/Sistema-Microwave-Collection-Noodle-1109ZS/dp/B009SD35IO/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=sistema&qid=1636390172&sr=8-11 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D6Y1OM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  17. ??? The most basic material, PLA, can be made very strong with the right infill (honeycomb) and fill level. One problem it does have is that it can pull apart though with high loading. An easy solution is to brush the inside/outside with a strong and flexible adhesive like Go2. You can print with other materials like nylon carbon fiber, which are crazy strong. The cost is a special nozzle ($20) and the material ($60/kg).
  18. You could just wrap it in butcher paper and ship that way. Would it still be oversized?
  19. They are studying something to do with avocados that last far longer than normal. "Five days extra" has come up. Day 1 test...way unripe. And Fedex even fucked up and got them here a day late. They would have been really bad yesterday.
  20. I think we had a bit of that conversation here before? I suppose that owning any market is good, whether legal or not. Illegal just makes it that much more profitable. I have no idea what anyone can do about it, just stop buying avocados?
  21. I once got a fake Chinese clone of a Ukranian clone of a German camera. You know how copies get worse each time you copy them?
  22. I can't wait to see the fake Harbor Freight stuff. That will truly be a glorious day in their history.
  23. Probably. Never tried. How will I find the lethal dose then?
  24. How are you people getting explosions? Sealed containers?? Now I want to try microwaving grains, but it seems like it would take forever if they are real whole oats and groats.
  25. Yeah, it has never crossed my mind to make breakfast at 8pm. I barely remember to soak beans the night before to have dinner the next day.
