No offense taken. I picked them because they fit the most comfortably for me.

My wife says I look like I'm on vacation this time of year because of how I dress in addition to the sunglasses.

I wear these Ray-Bans with Costco's transition driveway lenses.

Costco (maybe others too) have these new transition sunglasses and they work through your polarized windshield.

Basically they start out with a light tint but get darker depending on the amount of direct sunlight. I really love them because I don't have to switch going in and out of stores or whatever and I can wear them when it's partly cloudy without feeling like it's night out when under cloud cover.

Probably an old house and the downspout was there first, though it all depends on where in the world this is.

Our next door neighbor's house has power come in like this and it was built in 1927, before it had electric. Our house, the electric is buried per code for newer construction and ours was built in 1997.

While this is possible, it's also possible that it was included because a Harley Davidson is a distinctive motorcycle to most people.

You say Harley and most people get a pretty specific mental image. Say Kawasaki Vulcan and the average person will probably picture a sport bike.

Edit: Apparently HDs aren't as common in New Zealand as the US either. In 2023 Honda alone sold more than double the new bikes of Harley.

You are incorrect.

As the house value increases with the market you can refinance to a new lender with greater equity eliminating the need for PMI.

You can wait for PMI to cancel automatically, request early cancellation, get a reappraisal or refinance the mortgage to get rid of it.

The American oil magnate John D. Rockefeller became the world's first confirmed U.S. dollar billionaire in 1916.

Edit: Five years after the introduction of the Forbes 400 List, the magazine launched its famous World Billionaires round-up. Forbes highlighted a total of 140 billionaires in 1987, including 96 outside of the US, which means that between 1982 and 1987 the number of American individuals with 10-figure-plus fortunes grew from 15 to 44.

I don't have it but I'm going to say Parkinson's.

I got put on some medication a number of years ago and one of the common side effects was tremors that "can affect the hands and arms and may also involve the lower limbs, tongue, or voice".

I'm not much of a crier but it got to a point where I was shaking so bad I had a hard time feeding myself and I broke down over it. I cannot even begin to imagine having to live with that forever. I barely managed a month.

We bought in 2020 and have a 2.875% rate on our mortgage. We only put 10% down and had PMI but the broker was all, "you can refinance to get rid of that".

I asked him when in the world we'd ever be able to refinance at or below that rate? He had nothing to say to that.

I stick with Apple because it "just works" for me and they haven't done anything to piss me off enough to change.

My wife had me block CNN at the network level to stop her reading all the news and becoming depressed.

Battery life would be much better, so more people would buy Samsung phones over Apple

I do think there is a segment that would want that increased battery capacity but this claim ignores both human apathy and inertia.

I've had the same issue every time I've tried helping someone with an Android phone. I kind of figured it's because it's not what I'm used to so it seems foreign.

I had an Android work phone for a while and I got more comfortable with it because I was using the UI regularly.

My parents switched from Android to Apple and they've both said they find the iPhone easier to navigate; they're both ~70 years old.

Personally, I think that Android and Apple appeal to different personalities with different needs and that people are naturally resistant to change.

Lot of boots in Texas which means a lot of bootstraps for them to use to pull themselves up!

In all seriousness, they should be getting aid and relief from the federal government. Thats what FEMA is for, that's what the true American way should be; supporting each other and helping out where we can.

I wish the best for the residents of Texas but anybody there upset about not getting aid needs has only their local, state and federal government to blame. Unfortunately, some folks will get caught in the middle.

Don't forget The Tick!

He was also Jonah Hex.

Death Cab for Cutie - Plans

Or

The Black Keys - Brothers

Yeah, kind of. I live in Minnesota and here raw ingredients, and essential food items are untaxed. Prepared foods, candy, soda and anything "non-essential" are taxed normally.

Reasonable suspicion does have a specific legal definition.

You are right that it's not a magical shield or protection in the moment. It would matter in court but that would be well after the fact and, as we've all seen, would just give ICE time to play their shell game.

Re-read my comment. You're saying the same thing I did. Did you think I replied to you and not the other user?

Here's what I said:

A retail store, a restaurant etc. can refuse currency from a customer but a loan/lien holder, a public utility company, a government entity or an HOA must all accept any legal tender.

Which is the same as:

If it's before the point of sale, they can refuse any form of payment. If you've already accrued the debt, they can't refuse it.

The user I replied to who was responding to you said:

There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services.

I told them they were confusing two separate issues.
