What people generally think of as pumpkins (happy round orange things) have been specifically grown to be good for presentation and terrible for eating (watery muck) Most pumpkin varieties are terrifying and you feel like you're eating mutant radiated gourds:

Virtue posted:Pumpkin chat is blowing my mind right now Wel, you see the thing about pumpkins is that they're absolutely GWM. You. Buy a bunch a pumpkins, and pull the insides out through a nice hole and make some pies with them. That's cheap eating! Then, you just go ahead and gently caress that hole and you don't need to spend money on dates or prostitutes or even interacting with other human beings.

Not having a second bedroom or den to convert into a Masturbatorium is BWM. The cleaning costs alone will pay for themselves in a year or two if you replace the carpet with tile and just hose it down periodically.

It's me, I'm bad with money. I sent out my IRS checks and didn't remember to transfer the money from my savings account to my checking account in time. What happens when you send a check to the IRS and it bounces? I'm going to find out, I guess ah fuckkkk meeeeeee

Possible Failure to pay penalties (.5% per mo) and interest too. ^ What they said too. I've seen them try to cash checks twice.

And if you are in an apartment with roommates there frequently isn't enough room in the common areas. My current apartment is the first place with room for a desk outside of my bedroom. Hopefully next one has room for my wife's too.

I'm going to blame it on the baby, I used to check Mint every day to make sure my money was in the right places, but now it's all "feed the baby, Moana," "change the diaper, Moana," "don't let the baby eat any more cardboard, Moana." That last one is really hard, in my experience.

Are you talking about the kind that transfers money from savings or the kind that puts you in debt with the bank and charges you $30 a day or whatever that was such a big ripoff it got regulated to being optional

It was worse than useless.

Mine is up to $15k at 5.2% through my line of credit. It costs me cents to borrow thousands for a few days while a transfer clears to cover the overdraft.

Mine is a separate line of credit at a not-terrible rate. Now that I've become intelligent enough not to carry any debt on it, the bank sends me periodic messages helpfully suggesting that I use it to consolidate debt/use it for emergencies/treat it like it's free money.

Twerk from Home posted:Will overdraft protection really cover a couple thousand though? I thought that was more like $500 max. OD protection comes in as many forms as there are lines of credit. Some it's a dedicated line of credit, often small like your example. Other times it comes out of your linked savings account (plus a usurious payday loan fee), or a linked credit card. If you want more than $500 just ask, they will run your credit and make it larger (or smaller) depending on what comes back. Edit: Looking at Capital One 360 they have easy to set options (which is shocking given how hard it can be to get banks to close this line of credit at the majors.) 1. Auto decline. The Get hosed option. $0 fee 2. Auto savings transfer. $0 fee 3. Line of credit. $1000 max, pay interest at an unspecified rate, they claim it to be "pennies." 4. "Next day grace" - $0 if you cover the balance in 24 hours, otherwise $35. Optionally includes ATM withdrawals. Coverage not guaranteed. If it's an actual check it will cost you $9 NSF regardless of option. H110Hawk fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Apr 26, 2017 |

I'd rather get a really nice tiny apt vs a larger space where the compromises are apparent (rent is not cheap in major metro areas). In all seriousness, why though? I've heard a few "crunchy types" say this kind of stuff before without really having any logical arguments to back up this claim. Should I toss my guitars out the living room too because they don't fit under the rigid conditions sent forth by this mandate? Most reasonable arguments tend to center around quality of sleep but thankfully my sleep is fine as I am a healthy adult. Sux to suck i guess?

Like I said, extra space is massively overrated by most people, having less things (or constantly getting rid of stuff) is actually really great and chill KingSlime fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Apr 26, 2017 |

I think he was only saying that its nice, if you have extra rooms, to only leave your bedroom for sleeping and loving. I agree with him 100%, but it obviously doesn't apply to small apartments. The reason behind it is simply that you'll sleep better in a room where you do nothing but sleep (or do things that make you sleepy afterwards)

Well I charge my phone outside my room so I don't hear network support calls in the middle of the night haha. But if you don't have the right mindset for it it doesn't matter what you do. It has helped me, for what its worth.

If you have insomnia, keeping the bedroom as purely a place for sex and sleep is a good practice that can help by strengthening the association between "bedroom" and "get a boner and/or fall asleep now." If you sleep easily, it probably doesn't matter. Either way, do whatever, we're not your mom.

If you sleep easily, it probably doesn't matter. Either way, do whatever, we're not your mom. I have heard and read this argument plenty of times with regard to the bed, which makes sense, but not the entire bedroom. Are people in studios or open lofts just hosed when it comes to sleep quality?
