    My son has reached the frat boy level of being a child. He wakes up wants a large drink and then he's annoying until he mercifully goes to sleep.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    Fuck. My iPhone charger cable (or perhaps the port) is fucking up. The slightest tap unconnects it now. :(

    Get a toothpick and dig inside the lightning port. You'll likely pull out a whole bunch of junk. It will then be great.

    Will do next time I have access to toothpicks. Which may be only next Tuesday.

    it doesn't need to be a toothpick. find the sewing kit in your hotel room. use the needle. break your own finger. strip the flesh and whittle the bone. whatever works.

    I remember reading, and I think this would have been in the Oxford Illustrated Prehistory of Europe, that one of the earliest (if the The earliest) known artifacts to be associated with the arrival of anatomically modern humans is the bone needle. It would be another tens of thousands of years before much of a technology gap appears between modern humans and neanderthals but the needle seemed to be an early innovation.

    Oh no city broker man has asked his date what kind of chocolate she would be and why and of course has a really irritating prepared answer to that question himself. Ick.

    She seems to like him, however, and he was a perfect gentleman. Two poshos finding love on their own level. It warms my English soul to see the class system working.

    it's Orange drink, as done by someone who's never tasted an actual orange

    It's not even that. I mean it's not like purple stuff tastes like grape, or other orange looking stuff tastes like oranges. But Sunny D makes me think that some asshole was screaming "More Sugar! More Sugar! Apply heat and make it all dissolve so we can add more sugar!" during the creation process.

    I throw out socks and underwear all the time, it's easy.

    I find it much harder to throw out old clothes, though that is mostly because I'm stuck in the dilemma of not having the energy to bring them to the charity donation spot but also feeling like I should donate them and not just throw them away.

    Getting paid dividends happens automatically whenever the corp/LLC behind the stock you own issues one.

    Are you talking about liquidating your account?

    most stocks and funds just pay dividends every month or quarter or year (depending) and you just look for ones that pay out the most, and reinvest them as new shares

    but also balanced against whether or not the stock will be a good long-term investment because if it is volatile or is going to tank, obviously it will be bad for you

    but dividends help your share balance grow so it will offset a lot the stagnation that is the best outcome in the current economy for longer term investments

    basically since your stock isn't going to grow much, you'll just get more stock through dividends

    12 hours til touchdown and I get to bounce, and I swear my nan is gonna induce a stress related heart attack before then. She just roped me into looking for a new bus pass that I wasn't sure existed. She said she got it earlier, put it in the lil' case thing she has. Wasn't there, was accusing me of taking it. I searched the whole fucking house before she remembered where it was, in some random bag. Then of course, no apologies for accusing me, no acknowledgement that her memory had failed, nothing. Just carried on like nothing had happened.

    Now I am gonna cook a pie meant for both of us and eat the whole thing, partly cause of an earlier tantrum pissing me off enough that I let her cook her own dinner (bread sandwich!) but mostly cause stress mek me hongry

    Oh brilliant

    yup. that's the draw of indices. don't try and pretend like you're smarter than the billion dollar financial industry just try and get the baseline returns while minimizing expenses (mutual funds are actively managed so they draw higher expenses due to both management fees and transaction costs)

    I would usually forgo the straw.
