That is an awesome web site. I've always been tempted to look into buying one of those giant rhino beetles.

I've actually been trying to look into something similar? I have a pile of old vapes from friends/family I want to re-purpose, but don't really know where to start.
and these dirty deeds weren't even done dirt cheap!

Wait, do you live in my city? Holy cow, I thought it was just us noticing this bizarre trend of carwashes popping up on every street corner...

I laughed pretty hard when I noticed the same issues and clicked the 'discuss' link and found that your post had been inundated with the comments you are referring to XD
I've used FreeTaxUSA for the past two years as well, and have been very happy with it. I'll put all my info into turboTax, and let it calculate my refund, then put the same data into FreeTax and verify it's the same. It's saved me a LOT of money.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Either the judge who issued the order or something like that.

Re:Show HN: What dogs can eat? (Web App) on Monday May 16, 2022 @02:13PM (#31401284)
I got a chuckle when I tried to enter 'cat food' and all it would let me enter is 'cat', then it informed me that I should not feed my cat to my dog. A+ advice.
This is genius. I love it.

It's been a while since I've messed with it, but the last time I played this on ZNES I seem to recall it working fine.

My favorite part of Mario Paint was always the music generator. I'd sit and play with it for hours... To this day I still enjoy listening to MPC (Mario Paint Composer) tunes on YouTube.
I didn't know about the shark fishing one. That's neat. Does that include tourists that hire a charter, or is it for the charter captains themselves?

Good grief! I know I'm not Prince Charming but I was hoping for slightly less Shrek in mine. I think I'll be going back on that diet...
This is interesting, I've never heard of this. How much stretching/sagging are we talking about? (I.e. a couple of inches difference, or is it a large amount)
Some of this is necessary, I think. When you get an auto insurance quote, companies like ChoicePoint (LexisNexis) are what provide driver history (accidents, violations, insurance fraud info, etc).

So it's not like they're Google/FB/Amazon using this data for ad purposes.

Obviously, not all of the money comes from carriers like this, but I wanted to point out that some of it is legit.

"Literally IDK" snicker I got a kick out of that response.
Re:Popular Ad Blockers AdBlock and UBlocker Deemed 'Fake' on Wednesday September 18, 2019 @01:09PM (#21007474)
The web site is crap and loaded with ads, but the article itself raises some interesting questions. I wonder if any more reputable sources have verified/disproved this?
Re:“The books will stop working.” on Thursday June 27, 2019 @05:01PM (#20298703)
THANK YOU! I lost the name of the web site and was having trouble Google-ing the right phrase to find it again. Much appreciated.

I didn't know about these courses, and have been contemplating getting some certifications for a while. This looks like it might really help. Thanks for posting this!
aww. That's a great idea :)

gti—>git...

so it's not just me then? I feel better now, thanks :)

Incognito mode used to work, but it seems they patched that. And web.archive is blocked for me at work, unfortunately.
Re:Why Uber Can Find You but 911 Can’t on Monday January 15, 2018 @02:31PM (#16152780)
To bypass the paywall, try going to Google and typing in the name of the article ("Why Uber Can Find You but 911 Can’t"). That worked for me.
You know, I really had stuff I needed to do today...Thanks a lot... /s :) Awesome game, can't seem to stop playing
