So I've been doing this and I strongly recommend keeping LastPass (LP) until you've deleted all your credentials from there. My workflow is to launch the login from LP (using the app), use those credentials, and change the passwor

There is a word the customers have for the bullet-point style of communication. They call it “curt” and they don’t like it. They expect exactly the fluffy speech that ChatGPT generates. I can also read faster than I can write, so I have no

The problem with Zelle is that you can only link it with one bank account. So if I need someone to Zelle my Last Coastal Credit Union account, I have to unassociate Zelle from Landfill Bank. Not ideal. I’m hoping the Fed solution fixes this

I already addressed this: all these costs are already factored into the monthly rent. In my case I had to replace the dishwasher. I wanted a quiet one, so it ran about $1200. I bought it on credit and got 0% financing. So my housing price i

Because one (animal agriculture) emits way more carbon than it captures. That's what the article discusses - people trying to make a source of meat-like protein that emits no or negative carbon into the atmosphere.

Even then what? If the cycle continues where you’re continuously slaughtering and replenishing the animals for food and not letting them live their natural life, the argument that it is better at carbon capture is moot.

No, meat production is still carbon emitting. What you’re thinking of is having cows manage land. For that to sequester carbon, you have to keep the cows alive and not be in a constant consume-supply cycle.
