The whole Noah story arc proves that God would totally cause storms to cleanse the evil.
Doing it Thalnos’ style and only killing/moving? the bad people isn’t God’s style. He could do it, but “God snapped his fingers and all bad people were sent to Hell, the world instantly became a better place.” Doesn’t get you a New York bestseller.

Ticketmaster fees and charges are one thing.
But if someone is willing to pay 400+ dollars for a seat at a concert, Shouldn’t they be able to do that over someone that just wants a cheap seat?

That’s the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.
Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.
It’s supposed to be a feature

Probably just normal battery. Thing was massive and heavy
Unless you have the screen on constantly, the device doesn’t use much power other than sending a signal to headphones

You can get battery converters

Same company makes Ryobi as Milwaukee.
Yes Ryobi isn’t as good as Milwaukee, it’s their cheaper brand. But it is way better now than it was.
Not everyone needs to screw in a thousand screws into a deck everyday. Most people don’t even need an impact driver. Ryobi is perfectly fine for the majority of home owners.

Yes
Ryobi is fine
Other tools are better
Internet likes to put down Ryobi but it’s not as bad as they make it out to be.
My first power drill was Ryobi like 10+ years ago and still works to this day. I prefer using my Dewalt drill, it’s less clunky.
No one wants to be a “Ryobi Guy”. Especially behind a screen where you can say you have any tool you want.
Bosch makes my favorite hammer drill. My Makita sander works like a champ. I enjoy my Milwaukee packout toolbox.
People get stuck on brands. And while with tools there are differences, Ryobi works just fine.
I did burn out my Ryobi oscillating saw. But that’s the only Ryobi tool that has failed me and I have like a dozen of them. I really like my ryobi finish nailer.
- Comment on The four houses dads belong to. 10 months ago:
I have Dewalt/Ryobi battery tools
Ryobi usually lacks features
Take for example an oscillating saw
With my dewalt oscillating saw I can swap a blade or change the angle of the blade in 1 second because you just push down a lever. On the ryobi, you have to break out an allen wrench (which is stored in the tool) and loosen a bolt.
Someone that might use the saw once every blue moon might not care that much, but someone who uses it every day it is a big deal.
Also quality, Ryobi tools just feel cheaper.
I buy important tools in dewalt and less important tools in Ryobi. Like my small leaf blower is Ryobi. No need to pay extra for the dewalt one because it’s just for quickly blowing off my walkway or front porch steps. If I need to move a lot of stuff I use my gas backpack blower, which is also Ryobi. Only problem I’ve ever had with it is the cord snapped a couple times, I think it has to do with how it rubs the grommet. Replaced the last time with a more heavy duty cord and haven’t had a problem since. Always starts in less than 3 pulls and very powerful.
There are cons to Ryobi tools, but when looking at the top of the barrel tools the only con is usually the price.

I majored in accounting and business finance. But I’ve always thought of having two degrees. I could not have majored in business finance and have 1 degree. I don’t think you’re required to even have a minor some places.
- Comment on prick 11 months ago:
I had enough credits to get 3 degrees from my university in 4 years with a semester of community college too, but they said they only give out 2 main degrees or 1 main 2 minors.

Are you trying to say businesses control everything?
If that was the case we’d say on DST always because businesses could use an extra hour of sunlight again in the winter as well.

Disagree.
You can get all the practice you need during school hours.
Maybe we should stop learning about the Ming dynasty and memorizing the Canterbury tales if we needed more time for math practice.

Settings, Display, Home Screen, Swipe Down for Notification Panel
I would have thought every Samsung device had it
- Comment on For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories? 1 year ago:
S22+
I can drag my thumb down anywhere on my home screen to bring down the notifications. Then notifications are in bottom 2/3 of screen.
There is hardly a reason I need to reach the top 1/3 of my phone
Something like typing in a URL in a web browser
But that small inconvenience where I have to shift my hand isn’t worth me losing a big screen
I can still do everything one handed

My girlfriend loves her iPhone mini
She has small baby hands
I can curl my fingers over the tops of hers if we matched up hands
Mini feels so small in my hands and I don’t know if it’s just the different keyboard, but I can’t type on it very well
So I could even see that as a downside of me going to a smaller phone
- Comment on For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories? 1 year ago:
I have a s22+
I always get told I have piano fingers
I used to use a popsocket, but I switched to a phone wallet
Back, Home, and Recent tabs are all on the bottom with a simple swipe up.
I keep my phone resting on my pinky
With it like that, my thumb can reach 2/3 of the way to the top.
Placing my pinky under the phone, I can reach my thumb to the top left corner.
Most of the time, I never need to reach up there
But as for typing, I typed this whole thing one handed
I enjoy the big screen

Getting a new card will temporarily drop your score a few points.
If you’re like me that charges everything to a credit card, then you need a lot of available credit to keep the credit utilization low. You want it below 10%.
High credit utilization is going to drop your score more than opening a new card.
Say I have 1 card that has 15k limit. If I spend 10k on it. I have a 66% credit utilization. My score would be horrible.
Now, if I get 7 cards and each have 15k limits. If I spend 10k on them then I have less than a 10% credit utilization and my score would be good.
Can I get 1 or 2 cards that have credit limit of 105k. Yes. But I have found increasing limit is harder than getting a new card.
With a new card you can get 0% apr which is free borrowing of money for 12 to 15 months.
You can get a welcome bonus which are usually very good.
And you can set it up so that you might be getting more rewards like 5% cash back on dinning or other things that another card might not give.
Getting more cards has it’s advantages
