How old are you? As you age, the frequencies you can hear are greatly inhibited. We were listening to a test program on the internet and the younger gf could hear a much wider range. So the bottom line is that if you're not in your 20s or 30s you're probably wasting your money on all that high end stuff.

Expedia provides the service I use. For many non-discount flights, they provide a 24 hour no fee cancellation policy. So I go to the airport a bit early. If they want an onward ticket, book one of the refundable ones and after getting to the gate, cancel it. Yes, there's a temporary hold on your credit card but who cares. The onwardticket fans, and it's always the same few, as this topic comes up quite often, always say the same thing. I think they must have financial interest in that company, as it's clearly not the best solution.

Just block @gammaglobulin. Everyone else has.

It's a window$ naming thing. For whatever reason, it can't display the proper name. A couple of possibilities is the name is too long or contains unprintable characters.

At least the Dems now have an avenue of attack in the 2024 election. Oh, wait. Another avenue of attack would be more appropriate. There's so many now it's almost hard to keep track.

I only have one question after seeing the woman's picture while trapped in the hardware. Clearly not bleeding to death and not in immediate peril. So the question is: Do you think this woman would have had her leg amputated if she had been in New York, Toronto, or London? Do realize that in most of those cities there also would be news outlets broadcasting the situation live.

Yes. The Thai bean counters made the decision to cutoff her leg and pay some pittance as opposed to ripping up the hardware and paying a lot to repair the walkway. TiT. Obviously they would have needed her permission. I never would have given it if it was me.

Unbelievable. They cut off her leg because they didn't want to cut open the escalator? TiT.

Season 2 was nowhere as good as season 1 either. I don't think I made it through the second episode.

An experienced long term investor would know, as I do, that you'll have years when it's up and years when it's down. It's par for the course. If you found last year nerve wracking, wait until a real downturn happens. The S&P 500 was around $200 when I purchased my first index fund. Averaging over 10% return excluding dividends over the last 40 years.

LOL. Yes, the standard drug dealer problem. How do I ensure that when cutting my cocaine/heroin/XXX that it's a consistent mix and the good/bad stuff is evenly distributed in the final product? I'd be concerned about consistency from the manufacturer/packager. They obviously don't have a properly working mixing system. If they're not mixing each package separately, then clearly one order will not be the same as the next. Anyway, making a liquid concentrate as I described earlier would be what I would do. It can't fix the consistency issue between shipments but at least each shipment will be constant. You'd have to mix your own to get it constant, or find a packager that is doing it properly.

Wow. Good week for TV series, even with the writers strike. First 2 episodes of the final season have dropped.

Having done a “bit“ of lab work in the past, the standard way would be to make a concentrated solution and then dilute it as needed. In the example used here, if the product was to made into 5 gallons, then make it into 1 gallon. As you need it, take 1 unit of your concentrated 1 gallon solution, add 4 units of water and Bob's your uncle. The main caveat is that the nutrients may not be fully soluble in the smaller amount of water. Also, I can't help you if you get too stoned and forget it's concentrate and destroy your crop! ????

Do you necessarily need to mix it up all at once? If a kilo of powder makes 5 gallons, 500gm will make 2.5 gal.

Select foreigners? I wonder what that means? I bet it means not you(or me)!

Too much time on your hands?

Your anecdotal evidence means absolutely nothing.

And your point is? What are you smoking? I want some.

No. Nominate Trump. Please. He won't have a chance in the general.

First 2 episodes have started to drop. From Apple with Luther as the protagonist. Likely worth a look. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19854762/

There is nothing that mixes well with meth.

So the guy was taking meth and also smoked some marijuana, and they blame the marijuana for his murder spree? Wow. Somebody's got an agenda here.

Much better to have bank accounts in six different countries than 6 bank accounts in one.

Vanguard only closed the brokerage account and not the mutual funds. I rarely used the brokerage acct as I'm mainly in buy and hold index funds, so I really didn't need a replacement.

I haven't used my bank app to purchase on lazada but have on shopee a bunch. The payment option I use generates a qr code which you scan with your bank app. Easy peasy. I used to do cod but it was such a pain needing to be there when the delivery occurred. Shopee, like AliExpress, doesn't pay the merchant until you say you received it or some date in the future if you don't acknowledge receipt.
