@slxthkween @tatsncatss Hair growth products?

Quick question @VaroBank. I'm not seeing a way to set up a temp higher transaction limit on the debit card for one-time large purchases. If I'm buying / putting a down payment on a car, say $5k, how do I do this? With USAA for example I would call or chat prior to set it up

@marty28738987 @nancylacore Was she in 7th fleet?

[JJ @CTZN5]

@jim3percent @nancylacore That's not what that means. It means she was in ROTC during college. It adds significant extra difficulty to college life; it's a commitment. You should at least have seen JROTC kids at your high school. The J is Junior

@VigilantFox Well. I had observed the wheel slip, but immediately recognized it to be the normal behavior resulting from shifting from reverse to drive while still in motion, vs at a stop with foot on the brake. There's is a brief torque spike for torque-converter type automatic transmissions

So basically you're free to say anything you're not forbidden to say. Right.

@FranceintheUK The freedom to speak includes the freedom to discuss unpopular, distasteful, and even illegal content.

If you can't do those things, you don't have the freedom to speak.

@eigenrobot @ctjlewis @awoooouwuooooo This happened INDOORS?!

@SeanGrossman6 @Austen This, save yourself from your late-night alter ego and any number of other alarm-volume failure modes

@ChartingFor @RedPillReality_ @GoBrightline Is that orange bag... a piece of gear from the *truck's storage* that happened to get lodged!?

[JJ @CTZN5]

@packyM This is really good stuff. I think I even agree with the rank-ordering?!

@webdevMason and, 2, if you never get used to yourself because for nutritional or whatever reasons you don't get a consistent cycle to calibrate to, I could see that leading to the conclusion or belief that it's just not possible to calibrate to. See also trying hormonal contraceptives etc

[JJ @CTZN5]

@webdevMason Only comment I'd have is that, 1, going from not having a cycle to having one obviously takes some getting used to before you can feel calibrated and be able to judge perceptions through the filter of experience for how you tend to see things at that "time"

@UPS To the best of my knowledge, once it's in Houston (final destination: College Station), all the flying has already happened. So how could a late flight impact the package at this stage?

@killsheaa @Az_Real_News @GigaBasedDad Youngest brother also got a 99 btw, and he was homeschooled, then public for 9th-12th

Other two brothers, similar schooling, got mid 90s but they're shy about it bc it wasn't 99

[JJ @CTZN5]

@killsheaa @Az_Real_News @GigaBasedDad (I did end up with a 99 on the real one. Also, homeschool kid. Mostly. Went to public for five semesters. 8th, 9th, half of 10th.)
