Also, I can kill you with my brain.
My credit limit isn't that high, and i'm able to pay off about 1/3 of it a month if I don't use it. And even being hit with interest on it is only $30. Sure, that $30 adds up. But it isn't terrible.

I don't know if it's different where I live (Italy), but my credit card expenses are automatically paid back at the end of each month directly from my bank account at zero percent interest rate, I only pay like ten bucks a year for the card itself. It's a proper credit card too, not a debit card (it's a MasterCard).

I'm away from home on a business trip, and I forgot to bring toothpaste. It's only a two nights' trip so it's not worth the time to locate a store to buy some (especially since I'm super busy with work), but this means I'll have to brush my teeth four times using just water like a loving caveman.

Ask the front desk.

I stayed in a LOT of hotels and motels for my last job, in the range of "super cheap" to "just on the cheap side of middle-priced" and it seemed all of them had a little sign in the restroom saying something like,
"Forget a toothbrush, toothpaste, or comb? We've got your back!"

Though conversely, if you're staying in a nicer hotel, they might actually charge for that.

I think the litmus test if whether they charge for daily access to the wifi or not.

Wish I could do that. I'm out in the boonies for this job, the best I could find is a room in a rural B&B that doesn't even have WiFi (I'm phoneposting). No front desk either, just a guy who said "here's the room key, drop it on the dining room table when you leave, food's in the kitchen, bye" (yes I have to make my own breakfast too).

Tl;Dr: I'm SOL.

Don't be pedantic, you know what I'm saying. Charging a vacation to a credit card at 20% interest is the dumbest thing. There's this thing called "saving money" that responsible adults do to pay for their vacation. Then you don't have a $300 payment with $120 interest every month.

I pay for everything with my credit card for cash back and then pay it all off right away so I don't accrue interest.

My first world problem is that I need some dental work done but my insurance doesn't kick in till the 1st of November. Also I ate a cupcake when I got home from work and I don't want supper now which isn't good.

Hitler was a respected world leader, a successful military strategist, regarded as one of the greatest public speakers of all time and assembled one of the most powerful military alliances of the early 20th century. You can fault Hitler for a lot of things, but at the end of the day, he was a pretty smart cookie.

The thing is, if you were to talk to Hitler one-on-one, you'd probably agree with him about 90% of the time. And if he were alive today, you'd definitely want to consult with him and get his opinion on certain matters because, like I said, he was pretty on point about a lot of things. So its a little disingenuous to say, in effect, that any crossover between a person and Hitler is a bad thing. For 90% of the things he believed, its perfectly okay to agree with Hitler. Like dogs? Well, so did Hitler. Big fan of Wagner? Guess what, so was Hitler. Sexy blondes turn you on? Hitler's your wingman. The problem lies in the 10% of issues where the average person disagrees with Hitler, and my point is that any comparison should specify that it concerns that 10%, and not the 90% where Hitler was just a normal guy with normal beliefs.

There's a pretty good chance I'm going to end up with 2 giant tvs and I'll be able to use the parts from one to fix the other, but then I'll have a gigantic non working tv taking up space in my house.

I mean I could toss it but for like 200 bucks I could fix it... So :effort:

We so rarely use the TV here that when either of us try it (there's two remotes), we wind up pressing the wrong button on one of them, causing the dreaded TV Not Working Event.

The worst thing about this is that I go through this pretty much once a year: can't figure out the tv, get it working, use one of the remotes wrong and forget the whole affair for a while.

This morning I took advantage of my country's free healthcare to have some blood work done.

I don't know if the nurse hosed up in sticking the needle in or I hosed up in not putting pressure on the spot afterwards, but now my arm looks like as if I'd shot up some serious drugs.

Time to wear long sleeves even though it's still short-sleeve weather :sigh:

A friend of mine got her wisdom teeth taken out and was having trouble finding stuff she could eat and keep down. I recommended Ensure from my own experiences.

Now I'm randomly craving Ensure.

edit: Oh and there's a get-some-money-from-trading-in-tablets thing going on Frys, and I might trade in my tablet and use that to buy a better one. I can't decide if I want to do it because I don't use my tablet much. Do I not use my tablet because I don't need it, or do I not use my tablet because my newer phone wound up being faster than my tablet?

Tell her to man the gently caress up. I had all four wisdom teeth removed, two of which were impacted, and was eating like normal later that day.
