I bought like 10 of these at Habitat for Humanity and gave them out during a fly outbreak. Some of the neighbors looked at me weird (granted it was the first time I met them) but I’ll swear by these things. I hate killing bugs but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Love it. Last sentence especially.
Wtf is uber ambulance?
And thanks for your service.
Ok, fuck it, we’ll do it live!
Sure, you’re welcome to add me but I have no idea what I’m doing on lemmy and all my apps are going a bit haywire. If you have any tips or suggestions on how to access mod tools, that would help.
Awesome! Subbed and posted.
If you’re into podcasts, the series “Sold a Story” is really good.
The way I remember it is that the first part of “their” is “the”.
You can also remember it because “they” starts with “the”.
I don’t know if that’ll help but I hope so!
I stopped going to a dentist because her office looked like Trump campaign headquarters. Signs and shit everywhere. She otherwise seemed nice and competent but hell no.
Uh… it’s ok sir, you can just keep the money.
Glad you asked.
Short answer: gambling
Long answer: us kids were starting high school and he knew college was after that, so he needed to figure out how to come up with some money to help us. He was good at math, so someone suggested he play the stock market.
He started off investing “fake” money (just his own personal ledger) and did pretty good. So he invested small amounts and continued to do well. He finally decided to borrow money from the bank, which is how the story came about.
He actually did REALLY well; paid off the loan, got a bigger one, paid that off, etc, until he had enough of his own money to keep investing. He beat the S&P every year, he had a talent for it.
But he really didn’t enjoy it, he said it was a lot of work to keep up with the markets and how they interacted with each other. He kept it up for a few years after we finished college until he had a comfortable nest egg and quit.
He only paid for half our college, as a matter of principle he wanted us to come up with the other half. I still have loans to pay off but it was a huge help.
Now he hates capitalism and doesn’t do any investing at all. He used to have some safe mutual funds but he’s jaded about the state of the world, he doesn’t want any part of the system.
I bet it looked amazing on you! I hope you’ll find a worthy replacement.
