My dad paid off his mortgage and owned his vehicles outright. He had been that way for about 10 or 12 years when he tried to buy a small cabin. Even though his finances said he could buy it outright, he tried to get a small mortgage....the banks REFUSED to give him a mortgage. They said he basically didn't have a credit history. Its all made up bull excrement that screws with peoples lives for the fun of it.

Definitely ask for how they are using it. I know a number of physicians that are just using it as a dictation software to quickly make a first draft for their paperwork, helps lighten a big load.

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter. It drives my partner bonkers, she says I'm nuts....jokes on her, she's still hanging around 😂

The size of the meal you get a restaurant and how cheap it is. I knew it was big and cheap, just forgot to what degree.

Sand the crap out of any new pan can make a 'meh' pan into a 'muah' pan. A lot of them aren't nearly as smooth as they could/should be. We bought a cheap one that was quite bumpy, sanding down was a night and day difference.

Over the last few years I did some stretches of a lot of 90's and early 2000's sitcoms.

In regards to the ones I now cant stand: Home Improvement, Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens tops my list. I adored those shows growing up, now I wouldnt watch bored flicking through the channels.

Was very surprised how much I ended up loving some I hated growing up. Seinfield, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Frasier, just to name a few.

Like everyone else said, he understands there's a mean stabby person, and that you love him. As far as science can tell, they don't understand that what's being done to them is for their own good. It's why veterinary chemotherapy tries not to go so hard to induce the bad side effects nearly as much as in humans. Humans understand why they feel so bad and that it's somewhat temporary. Since animals don't (as far as our understanding), we try not to push them into the puking, losing hair, feeling like udder crap zone. If that happens they usually dial back the dosage so the side effects are better controlled.

Reading the Thrawn Trilogy now. Almost done with the 2nd book, so good. Can't believe I didn't read it when it first came out.

Piano wire hammer/striker...can't remember the technical term.

Basically this.

Exactly!

I second the safety razors. Except I've been running through the same box since 2016 and I'm barely half through. Takes a bit to learn, but when I want a real smooth shave nothing beats it (except maybe an actual blade razor).

Absolutely loved this game! Was so bad it. I could stealth into the enemy base no issue, couldn't kill anyone. Sometimes I'd just see how long I could stay in without being noticed.

Not A website, but in the early modem days there used to be these things called web rings. When you were done going through one site (usually just a few short pages or a short story kind of deal back then), you clicked the 'next' button and it brought you to another random, related (usually) website. My favorite web ring was the Star Wars ring. Learned a lot of expanded universe stuff, and random fan fiction. There was one site it brought me to that told me how to use the force...still trying to make my beer come to my hand :-)

My go to knives are Mora and Opinel. Have only had to buy new ones because I lost it.

For a backpack, Frost River is a bit expensive, but they are practically bulletproof.

Easily dealt with by seasoning yourself. It's not hard to get a nice initial season, then add some bacon for the good stuff.

Fried spam with brown sugar in mac n cheese, ain't nothin' better.

Did this to a Goodwill special, best cast iron pan I've ever had.

I do everything I can to never unbutton. However, if I have to I start at the top.

I had a lodge that I didn't do anything but cook on, didn't have any issues. The ex got that one. Had an old crappy one that I couldn't get to non stick the way my lodge did, then I sanded and seasoned it well before next use. By far my favorite pan years later.

It's kinda funny just how strong folks' opinions are on this.
