M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 7hWell, kinda. They would charge things like a loan origination fee such that they will always make money off of it. Best case, you’d probably be paying the bank at least $1500 to get an economy domestic flight worth of points 100
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 7hThese look good! But yes, there’s a reason why “food stylist” is a profession that exists 010
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 9hI had dinner at a local diner a few days ago, and they had several variations on a Polish Dog on the menu. It was almost $1 cheaper to get it with sauerkraut than just plain. I was confused, but not upset 010
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Those were for rich people. We always had 13” TVs until 2001, and then 19” 030
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Spanish, too, though I hear it less frequently in my travels than I used to 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In many cases that works, but it depends on the specific language that you’re trying to amend in the state constitution. This would almost certainly be a case where there’s a higher threshold. Courts can exert control over initiatives like that, and they get tied up in legal battles 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Unfortunately, the 2/3 requirement is part of the state constitution. It’s not that easy 100
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It should be criminal that the wealthiest state in the country has such poorly-funded public schools. I will be popping bottles the day it gets repealed 1160
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I very much like my Bodum Shin Cha teapot. This exact design is now discontinued, but they make other similar ones. The built in press/strainer works with either loose leaf, or tea bags 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hoo boy, I was once in a group of friends and I said that I wouldn't date a Disney gay. The sheer outrage and offense that was taken by one of them, you'd have thought I started a holy war 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Wouldn’t you object to paying £27.50 to walk the length and breadth of a train with a sausage in a plastic box? 010
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yeah it was definitely rice noodles. Definitely a choice, because SF has a huge Cantonese population and you can get all those ingredients here. I’ll have to go seek out some other Filipino restaurants and try different versions 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You’re not likely to find a DILF in a red dress, hiding in a bush 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Oh nice. I need to branch out more - I’ve only had Pancit from a local place that used much skinnier noodles 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You know what…let them say that. I want that crowd to be overconfident 020
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Im sure when he gets cancer from that thing, he’s going to blame it on preservatives, or food dyes 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Evening. But I might see if I can go find a hill to watch from for a morning 010
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 03/10/2026OMG it happened to me, too, and I didn’t even know because I literally never check my chat requests 😂 020
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Of the rest, Zero 7, and Cosmo Sheldrake are both British artists. That Zero 7 album also features vocals and song co-writing by Sia, before she had a successful solo career 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I think I’m going to have to rewatch Delicatessen this weekend 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Ok, I can’t commit to 43 minutes on this, but I watched the intro, and…Dr. Ruth AND Paula Poundstone? I’m sure you could mine this for clips for years 010
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I was in bed with a boy more than once when I looked down at my watch, and it had started a “Social Dance” workout 😅 030
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Thankfully, LG has a lot of really fine-grained controls to turn off those features, and you can refuse to accept the user agreements that enable them. Samsung TVs, on the other hand, show advertisements on the home screen, and don’t let you turn them off 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I agree, though - I don’t want any smart features. The problem is that I’m picky about image quality, and you can’t get a 4K OLED dumb TV 110
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It turns out that the problem was with my cable box. It got way too hot, and decided to just send a solid black signal with no audio, and do something to make my TV not want to switch inputs. The timing just coincided with an OS update. I finally got the TV to work by streaming from my phone 🤦♂️ 220
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think an OS update killed my TV. This is not the future I wanted 100
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I learned to shoot on a 50mm f/1.4, and I really got spoiled with that amount of light. But most of my primes now are either f/2.0 or f/1.8, just to save on weight and size. I find I’m more likely to carry around and use a smaller/lighter setup 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Reminds me of a friend who adopted a kitten named Monster Truck Rally 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you ever make it over to California, we may not have Yellowstone, but we do have Bumpass Hell 000
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Every once in a while, I have an experience that reminds me of all those years I fell asleep holding someone every night. Then I go back to sleeping alone, and the next few days are big sad times 010
M🫶 @bselim.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So far, I’ve only been to Vancouver, Victoria, and Calgary. I’ve heard great things about Montreal for a long time 110
