When I am in the mood for pancakes or waffles I usually don't have time in the mornings so I make it for dinner in those cases.

TopicDo haggle at car dealerships?

I haggled the **** out of them when I bought my car in 2017. I secured my own financing through my credit union, then went into the dealership and haggled with them being under the impression I would be financing through them (the dealership). It wasnt dishonest because they never asked, they just assumed. They will give a lot more off the price when youre financing with them because they make some money off of that.

We settled on a really good price and then the dude goes alright, lets get you back there with our finance guy.

I was like, no thanks, that wont be necessary. Ive already got my own financing.

You should have seen this dudes jaw drop.
Pretty much same here when I got my newest car in 2016. I would have gone with them if the financing was better than what my CU was offering but they didn't but did give me the better price on the car.

My kids have used the websites code.org and scratch to learn coding for websites and game design. There are many books out there that they can follow and use the websites to build these and create their own.

Audrino board kit would be good. Lego Mindstorm kit is great but can be pricey. If she hasn't done any coding yet I would recommend she start with scratch coding (website by MIT) to get a basic understanding and foundation to build on.

I've had barbs reproduce but only happened a couple of times. My various cory catfish breed all the time. The most I've had survive at one time was four. My tank only has catfish now.

When sports teams do well, they get more national television coverage. Some (especially younger viewers) then become attached to these teams because they get to watch them more often and they tend to stick with that team as the years go on.

Maybe he just wrote a letter to his future self like he did for Marty in part 2. His future self goes to past and drops off the items in secure location to be picked up later to not create a paradox. It's as good of an explanation as anything else.

I get celeb magazine sent to my house (subscription) that I've never signed up for. They go straight to the recycling cart.

I do subscribe to other magazines and I think that is where they get my info from. Of all the subscriptions that came that way, I only renewed one after it was done with the free subscriptions.

Cancel hulu and then get it bundled with disney plus for a cheaper price on the two combined. Once your wife finishes what she watches on hulu then cancel that part of the bundle.

The concern I would have with these units is input lag. The old CRT TVs were all instantaneous. But sometimes its a crapshoot on these new flat screen TVs.

This. My older systems are either connected to my old CRT TVs (have two of them) and a converter to newer TV. If it doesn't have a lag I connect it to the new TV but the ones with lag I use the old TVs.

That is not how it fully works though. The libraries have contracts/agreements with publishers that are part of their annual running costs. They aren't buying specific books, they are paying to attain the books they get and have permission to lend them out.

I get anyway between 1-5% usually, depending on where I spend. My main credit card also has extra deals that will be up to 15% cash back, depending on the partnerships. It changes every 2-3 weeks so I check the website to see if any of the places I would go to are giving more cash back.

Credit card. Get points for my purchases. Pay off the balance in full each month.

This. Cash back rewards make it worthwhile. Free money for things I was going to buy anyways. I never had to worry with fraudulent use since the CC company will contact me on anything suspicious and they offer burner cards that I can use online that is only good for the place that I am using it and for a set amount.

Maybe two hours. I could never play video games for a long time without getting bored. A lot of times I stayed awake overnight playing video games during sleep overs but I wasn't actively playing for too long before letting someone else play.

The lawn gets mowed every week or two depending on how fast it has grown. The yard is about 5,000 square feet. I cut it mostly but during the summer my kids will do it.
