Also something to keep in mind with Ridgid, where the LSA is a big part of the attraction. Don't be surprised to have purchases from retailers other than Home Depot and DTO used as grounds for disqualification during LSA registration. They've even clamped down on DTO as a source to a large...

Ultimately, it depends on what kind of programming you desire. If you want sports, it will cost you. If you don't, at least it's easier to avoid paying for those unwanted channels than before; the cheaper packages omit them. With most streaming services, you're not under contractual...

The lack of local channels was the biggest hurdle to not going cable in the past. That has mostly been negated for those who live in reasonably large population centers. Otherwise, unless the local MSO offers an extraordinary deal, they offer little advantage. Unfortunately, the large price...

The explosive growth of online shopping created a situation that called out to be rationalized, but the 2/3rds of the Fed government were reluctant to do so, and kicked the can down the road for years. States wanted to tax such purchases, but lacked the legal standing to do so, which rested...

Just to be clear, the black card on the left is what they're sending for this promo. To be used at fuel, not general, retailers. The silver card on the right is what they sent in the past. It has far fewer restrictions. No charge to request a physical card via snail mail, but expedited...

Not speculating about this incident, but… Hard to believe, but not impossible, right? Wasn't PIA 8303 victim to a series of cascading pilot errors that began with unprofessional chatting and subsequent failure to follow procedure? As you've noted before, many passengers give too much...

Amazon specifies in the return instructions whether the item needs to be repackaged. That said, UPS store employees may have a different interpretation, or do whatever they wish. There was a thread in the past about "rogue" UPS store behavior. However, the effort to eliminate secondary...

Finally, I think I can put this to bed. After the second inquiry, they made good on the missing Lincoln, and better yet, issued it in the form of a regular prepaid MC debit card. That went straight to my Amazon account balance, as in the past. The original Hamilton, being in the form of a...

Snakes actually want nothing to do with humans, more so than vice versa. If you're sufficiently confident that it's not a venomous snake, then just manually remove it from the interior, place it down on the ground, and it will run for cover on its own. Put on some decent gloves if it makes you...

Is it a new perk? My recollection is that Business members could enter earlier in the past at the regular warehouses, as already noted above. Maybe even Exec members, as one of the benefits. If they wanted to do folks a favor, they'd lower the membership cost. But that's how they make their...

Yes, that is correct. One purchase, two jugs, one receipt. One submission. But here's the kicker -- when they shortchanged me, I included the same documentation again, for reference, in the email. To do it again would be the third time they've received the documentation. If they truly want...

Ok, I gave them more than a couple weeks to fix the error, and not having received a response, sent them another email asking in effect, ***? In response, they said I'd have to submit a second time, using a different receipt. It's obvious that this rep didn't read the email history, and in...

The motion detection algorithms in consumer-grade security cameras have their limitations. They detect motion in part by comparing changes in the captured frames, and above a certain threshold, determine that to be something moving in the field of view. Then some try to apply educated guessing...

I was aware of that, but thinking more in terms of any differences in the general care of the air frame and comparative lifetime expectations. I've had such idle thoughts while looking out the window as the wing flexed during turbulence. (Though yes, I know they're designed to do that. One...

Hawaiian Air still relies on the 717 as island hoppers. Successfully navigate the kink in the aisle between the "first" class and coach sections, have a seat and enjoy your POG juice. Noisy, but a short flight. Hopefully you didn't get bombed by the stray birds in the inter-island terminal at...

No, but I don't visit them often. Haven't been back since I experienced sticker shock during the last visit. Are they good? Sometimes, being part of a tour is the only way to gain entrance. Including some popular attractions in Europe during peak summer season. But I do know some...

Walmart chooses to not accept NFC payments as part of its business strategy to drive customers to use the Walmart Pay service, which involves scanning a QR code that links to its app. It is the last national retailer to hold out, since Lowes and Home Depot have changed their policies, and...

The richness and variety of food we enjoy wouldn't be possible if it weren't for the travelers and migrants who brought their cuisine to other places, which put their own twists on them, or even made them their own (such as Tempura). Even in times when those journeys were much harder to make...

LOL. Traffic pattern. One way. More and more, I've found parking lots a free for all, and one way or not, it doesn't matter. Arrows, lanes, and lines have no meaning. Waiting for someone to back into a spot is the least of any problem. There's one local lot where a one way parking lane...

IR seems a bit high, from what I've seen on my own batteries. The new Chinese AGM I bought earlier this year was a bit above 3 mΩ out of the box. Even the tired old 2016 FLA battery it replaced was still below 5 mΩ. 2-3 year old battery in another car was in the low 3 range. That said, I...
