I got an error initially and tried again later and it worked. I imagine lots of people were making claims on the first day and it overwhelmed their systems

The only thing I know that has a fee is if you want a visa card which you can use everywhere. Most digital stores (Nintendo, Lyft, Amazon) want you to purchase the gift card because it locks you into their ecosystem. Some will even give you a discount on a gift card because they get the money now for nothing, and can invest that. The company also wants you to buy a gift card because there's always some percentage that goes lost and unclaimed, so that's free money for them.

On the web, after claiming the money, it displayed the debit card number which was immediately activated and which I used to buy an Amazon gift card for the exact amount. That debit card has $7.44 on it for less than a minute.

So is it canon that Charlie Brown's left arm is shorter than his right arm?

If you can't beat them, join them. Start posting political memes from your country. If your country isn't fucked up yet, vote in the biggest clown so we're not the only ones suffering.

I cut and sanded a piece of flooring to fit into the battery compartment.

I was not expecting this reading the article. Looks like the phone's from the 70s

Is there a reason to focus on 401k (beyond the employer match) before HSA? Isn't HSA more tax savings advantageous, even if just limited to health care expenses?

Thanks! Didn't realize that was the movie even though the other comment mentioned it. I thought it was a joke about Trump claiming he's a stable genius.

At the risk of sounding naive, what movie is this a reference to?

Today, Celine Dion's management team and her record label, Sony Music Entertainment Canada Inc., became aware of the unauthorized usage of the video, recording, musical performance, and likeness of Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On" at a Donald Trump /JD Vance campaign rally in Montana. In no way is this use authorized, and Celine Dion does not endorse this or any similar use. ..And really, THAT song?

I didn't realize this was the season finale before watching and was mostly confused that was it after tonight's episode. Seems like they started more loose ends in that one episode, maybe in hope of another season, but it felt like it could have used an episode or two more to set that up better. Spoilers below:

The Acolyte - Episode 8 Season Finale Discussion Spoilers

  • I kept expecting the Green Jedi woman to ultimately be behind the destruction of the witches fortress. It still doesn't make sense that the stone structure could sustain so much damage from some paper burning. Maybe bad editing or something in the previous episodes, but seems like there's still a side of a story being withheld.
  • Reveal of Yoda (or yaddle before growing hair!) and who I assume is Plagueis was underwhelming. Either could have been omitted without issue. If they were going for fan service, focus on one. If it is Plagueis, does the timeline even make sense??
  • Honestly, I wish there were more episodes with the Lesbian Witch Cult which weren't all flashbacks. That conflict with the Jedi was interesting (for the two days it happened in universe) and could have explored more of that side of the force before it was killed off. I guess I'm in the minority based on the backlash that received.
  • Kung fu and lightsaber battles were pretty good. Is this the first time in live action a jedi has turned off a lightsaber mid fight? I think out of everything, the choreography was the strongest aspect of the series.

What'd everyone else think?

A U.S. Supreme Court opinion erroneously — and briefly — posted on the court’s website seems to indicate that the court will temporarily allow abortions in medical emergencies in Idaho, according to Bloomberg News.
