I agree with all of those. Some of my favorite clothing I’ve gotten thrifting. I’ve been able to find never worn brand name clothing for way cheaper. Heck. I recently got a pair of Eddie Bauer shorts, never used (still had the baggie with spare buttons attached to the waistband), for $5.

Video games. Unless it’s a game I play with friends I typically wait for it to drop in price significantly.

Ditto. They also smelled worse too. We found that the Target brand diapers when Target has their gift card deals was the time to stock up on their whipes and diapers.

I’ve been looking forward to this remake for a while.

Do I have to register or affiliate with a party before I vote in the primary?

No. A registered voter is not required to pre-register or take any steps towards affiliating themselves with a party before voting in a party’s primary election. (§162.003)  Additionally, when a person registers to vote in Texas, they do not register with any kind of party affiliation.

This is all on that same source that you accused the other user of not reading…

Right after the section you quoted: "If a voter has not yet affiliated with a party, they are able to vote in either party’s primary election. "

So to your original point. You do not need to be affiliated to vote in the primary, but if you are affiliated you must vote in your affiliated party’s primary.

Yeah. The title actually made me think they had rolled out the ability for Google to remove an app from my phone when it’s been removed from the Play Store.

The firearm is called the great equalizer for a reason.

He’s the creator of the Dragon Balls. Without him, they are powerless. :(

We cancelled all our streaming services this month except Disney+ which is credited back on our credit card each month.

We had Netflix, Prime, and Crunchyroll that we cancelled. We don’t really watch anything on Prime. On Netflix we just watched reruns for background noise while doing other things around the house. And Crunchyroll removed Funimation’s digital library after acquisition so I canceled them on principle even though that was easily the most used service.

Couple issues with that. One is how to get it to work and be approved by the utility. In many areas something like this is heavily regulated and you might not even be able to do it depending upon State law (assuming you’re in the States).

Another issue is that in many areas, unless you’re only offsetting the home or business, the excess isn’t profitable. Many utilities pay a fraction of what they charge for any excess put back on the grid.

That being said, I know some utilities are actually doing this. They’re renting roof space on large commercial and industrial buildings. It’s more profitable for them since they can get full market rate for the energy generated.

Makes more sense to do it after if you’re going to do this. Usually after a disaster you have to do something with the roof, electric service equipment, and even the electric utility equipment. These are also things that need to be touched when you’re just simply adding solar. So if there’s going to be aid following a disaster, it makes logistical sense to tack on solar since the overall cost of doing it with everything else should, in theory, cost less.

Obviously the costs may not be kept lower if there’s a way for contractors to game the system.

In fairness, even the author of the article you linked didn’t think that’d ever happen. I’m somewhat up to date on most general tech things and missed this announcement too (though to be honest I don’t follow Apple announcements anyway).

Replace “a month” with “per month”

I met my wife dating online. Before that it was brutal. Lots of ignored messages. Lots of messaging that just ended (often on the woman’s end, but sometimes on my end). And plenty of first dates.

When I first started dating I wasn’t picky. Basically any girl interested in me, I’d show interest. Eventually I actually applied myself to dating with purpose. This helped a bit as I was often times being the one to make the decision whether or not to even meet up with a woman. I made sure they met my criteria and wanted the same things as I did. And doing this required that I was honest with myself. I didn’t want to party, I wanted children, I wanted someone who would challenge me and call me out on my bullshit, but I also needed someone who wasn’t overly sensitive as I am often quite blunt and speak without thinking.

Basically I had to shift from wasting my time with anyone to getting right to the point and making sure our values and trajectories in life aligned. This filtered out a lot of women. Either immediately because we didn’t want the same things or because they were put off by my directness.
