Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, Relationship Advice, and Parking Etiquette

Then @Tripleconpanna would love am PM with some of your side boob action.

 

<squints> I kind of agree on this. Can't solve the postal service problem, but it has great merit as an argument for keeping paper. If you knew what happens to your check after you tender it to a business (or government), though, you'd understand that it's actually digital currency as much as a credit card. But coins and paper money... All in.

I'm very disappointed the government has decided to stick its filthy fingers into bitcoin. It held promise as a means to take interpersonal transactions out of the government's purview. But here we are.

 

I am very aware. The difference is that if some shitbag steals my phone, they aren't getting my bank account.

The whole reason I have a credit card is because it is a buffer against risk. For example, my credit card was skimmed and a purchase of over $2500 was made on it. I told the CC company "that was not me and is not an authorized charge." Immediately they took the charge off my account, canceled the card, and sent out a new one.

Now, imagine that exact same scenario if it had been my debit card, or directly linked to my actual money in my account. I'd be out that money for the entirety of the time it took to prove it out, and even then there's no promise that I wouldn't be screwed.

I cannot completely sever my banking from being digital because of how banks and businesses operate, but I can minimize the risk I take with my own actions.

 

But checks are forged all the time. And the effect on personal finances is the same as with a debit card. Of course you can lose $250 cash too, by being horribly stupid .

My argument isn't convenience versus risk, though. Mine is that the government can stay the fv(k out of my business. Cash is helpful that way.

 

Agreed.

 

Down on the beach at the RV resort.

The Whiskey Tango crowd just showed up to the community dock. It's 1030, they're vaping, dropping F bombs and taking pulls of Fireball all next to our kids.

Looks like I'm going to have to be the asshole today..

 

Your kids are lucky to have a Dad who cares enough to do things he dislikes for their benefit.

 

That's being a parent, in a nutshell!

But thank you for the kind words.

 

That's what it should be, but there are far too many cases of "parents" not doing right by their kids.

 

For sure

 

I think it looks good.

 

Nice work! I would do the same but it probably means a bit more coming from someone with your height.

 

Well, I just went down there to check on the kids and make my presence known. They packed up and went back to camp.
Didn't have to say a word..

 

Probably just a coincidence

 

I don’t know how you AZ peeps do it. It’s 85 right now and I feel like I’m going to melt when I’m directly in the sun.

 

Pigeons were drones as far back as WW1.

 

@Squatting Pigeon Your Great Gramps?

 

If there are any troublemakers at the RV resort we're at, it's us because my kids are so noisy and rambunctious.

 

Our kids would get along just fine then!

 

Also just overheard from the WT mom talking to two of the kids down at the beach, both about 12 years old.
"I don't want to hear any more boyfriend/girlfriend stuff, he's your uncle"

 

Only 83 here but feels like 88 with 65% humidity. Not quite tropical/oppressive, but pretty dang swampy.

 

First thought...WTH is a Work Truck mom?
*a few moments later*
OH! Now I got it.

 

Not hot, bout tree fiddy.
No pics.
