  1. Way to step it up Switzerland…. I guess they couldn’t deposit oil in their bank vault.
  2. Assume anyone driving a truck like that is a moron or a chicken shit afraid of driving.
  3. And send it to certain counties not named Harris
  4. I have one of those! but in 7.63mm and with the wooden stock (which doubles as a case)
  5. Candlelight and OF have some damage. I have seen more homes damaged on this one than during the derecho. Cars and homes crunched by trees. Woodcrest street homes got unlucky. Candlelight Lane Park and FBMS have some damage. Oak Forest Elm has mostly some limb damage, a little awning in the side of the school is damaged, and the shed on Oak Forest Blvd was pushed off its base a bit. Kids did get a kick out of the port-a-potties blown down.
  6. It is so odd to be spared the power loss. We turned the AC to meatlocker to prepare for the heat. A branch damaged by the derecho came down. I guess I can cancel that tree guy whose list seemed indefinite. Only a little flooding in detached garage and I have fans on that. A possum did show up to shelter on my front porch.
  7. Got the cars fueled up, gas cans full, generator full, and ready to go last night. Never lost power. Did wake up to a tornado alert at 5:15 am and had to get the kids in the hall for a moment. Drank coffee while watching the storm from my window. Made breakfast tacos.
  8. Surly to Player: You play like Dylan Haines and call plays like Charlie Strong Player to Surly: Cap, boomer. You got no Rizz here. Surly to Player: Ever see a grown man naked?
  9. That is entirely predictable. At first Russia mostly DGAF about their crimes (Bucha) but now they are concerned with how they look. That is the more interesting development to me. I guess they are ramping up their buying of politicians and need plausible deniability during the election years.
  10. Ukraine needs more symbolic attacks at Russian museums and landmarks. Just a few as to not waste too much ordinance.
  11. She is pretty good with money, overall but It could have been a situation like this. But she didn't and wouldn't give out my SSN, and once again the Ulta Comenity Credit Card is in my name. She didn't show my ID (she doesn't have it) and I was not there, and while our AMEX is joint, I am the primary cardholder. She remembers the clerk swiping the card. I am not saying that my SSN and shoe size are on the magnetic strip, but if the company has my information already, they could just confirm the account is valid, and then go ahead and generated the unwanted account. Ultimately, there is no fucking way any person should be able to create a credit card account without the person applying being present and verified. It is not like she doesn't have her own credit history which mirrored mine until I got dinged. Ultimately, the issue is the payment for the goods. They want me to pay them on their terms. I refuse. I offered to pay them on my terms. They refused.
  12. I am watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and the dialog in this movie remind me how society has changed. “It tells me that goose stepping morons should try reading books instead of burning them”
  13. They always let someone else frame the discussion. They never learn.
  14. He is to busy doing fuck all. When he gets around to it he will.
  15. Back then we housed them in asylums.
  16. So have they finally gotten over their best baseball coach ever ditching them?
  17. Wait until you see the supreme courts ruling on the age of consent and what consent means.
  18. Sorry was getting interrupted a bit for the first post. My wife swiped her AMEX card to pay for the products, but instead they, Ulta, opened a credit card account in my name. So she actually never paid for the products. I never actually received the credit card either.
  19. My wife went to Ulta Beauty and bought some stuff. She swiped her AMEX card and left. Later, I start getting these emails from Comenity Bank (Bread Financial) and since I do not have an account with them I assumed it was spam (I had also not heard of them). Also received some mail from them. I opened it up and saw it was for a credit card with some debt on it, late charges, interest, etc. I chatted with my wife and she said she never opened an account (we do not own credit cards). Furthermore the account is in my name, not hers. It is tied to my social security, my email, etc. Chatting with them on the phone, I had the run around, accusations by their $10 hour employees accusing us of fraud, being deadbeats, etc. I did get them to agree verbally to take a payment for the products she purchased only, but nothing else (fees, interest) and to close the account. Their fraud department was contacted and they were useless. However, they only wanted me to send a personal check or use my bank debit card. I offer to use a prepaid debit card, to which they refuse and claim they cannot process it. They talk about their policy, I remind them I never signed any agreement to such. I tell them my policy and I absolutely refuse to give them any more information about me considering I absolutely do not trust them. So I again offer to pay them via the Visa Debit card, or allow them to eat the cost and shut down the account. Their rep talks over me and eventually hangs up on me. Checking my credit, I had frozen 2 out of the 3 bureaus a while back, and this one slipped through. I report them to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, I dispute it with the 3 credit agencies. I have not yet filed a police report. My credit has fallen from 840 down into the 730 range due entirely to this. I am considering purchasing a new home or possibly a new vehicle in the future but not within the next few months. I am slightly annoyed with the time sink and I while my logical brain tells me to pay this headache away, my emotional side is claiming, they are being assholes and running the Wells Fargo scam, so be an asshole back. Any advice?
  20. I am so tired of the politics and social commentary in this show. Of course the guy who dresses in black has a much thicker and longer lightsaber than the other white jedi/sith we have seen. /Critical Drinker
  21. Those are the after the service "tip" money.
  22. So glad these churches are not being used for political means and get to remain tax free.
  23. Haha, they wouldn’t pay him shit in the private sector. His only value is a decision for sale.
