  • So true. I was watching this on a whim recently and noticed Ted is just an incomprehensibly annoying human being. This guy constantly ignores good advice because wHaT aBoUt TrUe LoVe and is constantly dragging his so-called friends into his shenanigans and inevitable failures. Also he’s a bad friend to pretty much all of the other central characters and will constantly turn them down or ignore their needs in his relentless pursuit to find a girlfriend. Even Barney, the supposed sex hound, frequently makes time for his friends and genuinely wants to see them have a good time. Not Ted. Ted is a selfish bastard who thinks one “grand gesture” can make up for any transgression, so he let’s minor transgressions build until he has to make a grand gesture to smooth things over. That guy is toxic.







  • There is a massive list of HSA eligible expenses, too. I am not advocating that people go out and spend their HSA money frivolously, but if you need to buy something that seems medical-related and you already have HSA funds, maybe look into getting reimbursed.

    The coolest one to me is if you’re overweight or at risk for things like diabetes or atherosclerosis you may be able to get your doctor to write you a note allowing you to get things like fitness classes, gym membership fees, or fitness equipment (stationary bike, treadmill, etc.) paid with your HSA funds. In many cases prevention is the cure, and exercise is hugely hugely beneficial in preventing and managing a wide range of maladies so if you stick to it you may actually be saving yourself an even bigger medical expense down the line.

  • Especially since they started showing advertised businesses to me on the map. I’ve never been to a McDonald’s, Google, and I know you know this about me so stop preferentially showing them when I pan around my map!

    Also please let me filter my search results. When I search “coffee shop” it’d be nice not to have to scroll past all the starbucks and gas stations to find small businesses.




  • This “Don’t worry he’s nice” shit is pretty irresponsible imo. Ignoring the fact that animals are still unpredictable regardless of their track record, people can sometimes have real trauma with dogs and letting your dog just trot up to people willy nilly could really upset someone. Also something could happen to the “nice” dog if the person or other animal isn’t nice and frankly the owner of the nice dog would have only themselves to blame.


  • “entry-level” means a lot in the world of biking. My first mountain bike was about $750 (that was maybe 6 years ago) and even that wasn’t the cheapest option I could have gotten. It was something in the Trek Marlin line

    You might be able to find something new for around $350, but definitely do not go with Schwinn at that price point and expect to do actual mountain biking in mountains. You will break the bike and probably yourself in the process.

    You can probably get away with gentler off-road riding on a Walmart bike (minimal dropping, jumping, steep descents, and rocky terrain) until you decide to upgrade though. And of course there’s always the used market!
