    Errors when trying to edit and post a reply

    Well, turns out it was an extension! Problem seems to be resolved now that it's disabled. (Note: It's not a publicly available extension, so no one else will be or could be affected by it. Just a private one I wrote years ago for fun.)

    I do have a number of extensions running. I'll try disabling them one by one.

    Errors when trying to edit and post a reply

    Starting yesterday, I have not been able to post replies to threads or to edit my reply text using the little buttons in the bar just above the text (e.g., the B (for bold text), I (for italics), etc.) When I click any of those buttons, nothing happens at all. And when I click the Reply button...

    Bitwarden account - Attempted hack today

    Sure, that all makes sense, but my reply was directed at GrayHare's comments about the security issues with Bitwarden's use of Google's reCAPTCHA... which I fundamentally do not understand.

    Bitwarden account - Attempted hack today

    I don't understand your logic here. Bitwarden already "knows who you are" if you have an account with them, so how does using Google's reCAPTCHA reduce your online security in any way?

    Stolen License Plate

    I've been thinking about buying security bolts/screws for my plates for a while now, and this thread is a good reminder to add them to my Amazon cart. For anyone else interested, here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Rustproof-Stainless-Mounting-Hardware-Fastener/dp/B0BCNY1VD4

    NYTimes Article - Meet the FIRE Savers

    Hmm, I don't think that's accurate. I poke around in the fatFIRE subreddit from time to time (even though I'm more "chubbyFIRE" myself), and I don't think $100k/year is considered fat even at the low end. Although there's no official threshold, my understanding of fatFIRE is that it typically...

    awash in space aliens

    Agreed. Interstellar travel (of living beings) is very, very unlikely to be possible even for highly advanced civilizations. This is because of the enormous amounts of time required to travel between star systems that are only even a few light years away. For example, it would take a space ship...

    awash in space aliens

    I mean, considering that roughly 7% of all Americans believe that a secret cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles operates a global child sex trafficking ring and that 2-3% of Americans believe the Earth is actually a flat disc, I certainly am not surprised that some people believe in some...

    2024 Umbrella Policy costs

    Would you mind sharing how much you're paying State Farm to insure you home and your car, in addition to the umbrella portion? I feel like I'm already paying a lot for those without umbrella, so if I added umbrella my overall insurance costs would be WAY higher than they are now.

    2024 Umbrella Policy costs

    Is the $427 in addition to the coverage you're getting through Geico for your cars and boat (and home, I assume)? Would you mind sharing the total cost of all that insurance, broken down into what you're paying for auto, boat, home, etc.? I ask because my "insurables" are almost exactly the...

    my toxic inheritance

    In additions to my comments above, I also wanted to chime in that I too was "stuck" with some private company stock for many years that I wanted to dispose of. The result of an ill-advised investment in a small start-up that I really wanted to believe would do great things... but I should've...

    my toxic inheritance

    I agree with OldShooter, OP. It's not clear what your priorities are here, so perhaps you could give us more detail. For example, if it were me, a key metric in all this would be the ratio of the value of the private stock to my total NW. If it were something like 3%, I would not spend much time...

    What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

    DW and I recently started "The Resident" on Netflix, which is a medical/hospital drama along the lines of Grey's Anatomy, The Good Doctor, and/or House. I think it originally debuted on Fox back in 2018. We like it and have been averaging about 3-4 episodes per week. Definitely quite watchable...

    Restaurant adding fee for use of credit card

    Well, gas stations typically have the most well-advertised differential between CC pricing and cash/debit card pricing, so usually it's better to pay with a debit card (or cash). For example, the Citgo down the road from me here in suburban metro Atlanta has a cash/debit price of $3.29/gal and a...
