He’s a pension actuary. Schedule H is a form pension actuaries often end up filling out for their clients at tax time. So I think the question was legit.
We have a neighbor kid who does not share the Alert family values of courtesy and politeness. He invites himself over, plays games with our kids’ tablets that they hate, and doesn’t leave when we hint that it’s time to go. And then when we get direct, he says it’s fine if he stays in our house while we eat dinner or while I go take a shower and no one else is home. Take the hint, dude!
Kid is 8 or 9 and has no other friends, I feel bad. Thankfully our kids have learned how to stand up for themselves through the experience and still are kind to the kid, so at least I know I’m doing something good with them.

I am not an actuary.
I have all the letters for today’s Wordle and where one letter goes and I can’t figure it out. I need paper.

I had 4 letters, and the location of one. I just kept typing stuff into the window until I finally got it. Took me a long time.

I still can’t figure out the f-ing Wordle. I have all the letters. Is it some weird word?

When people put a background on their email. It’s even worse that it sticks around (until I find all the keystrokes to remove it) for my reply.

I cheated on Wordle yesterday. (Got hints from wineverygame.com)
The Athletic billed a full subscription days before the free trial ended. Assholes.
And, they cheerfully gloat “no refunds, for any reason.” Fuckers.
Means I’ll be happily spending the next 12 months costing them a hell of a lot more.
Big clumps of rabbit poop in the back yard and front yard!!!
You’re a former attorney: does this sound legal to you? Can you call your credit card co to reverse it???

My father in law is an avid gardener. His property is immaculately landscaped and groomed. Every now and then rabbits make their way there. He bought a pellet gun, and shoots and eats them now. Lol.

Are you sure they weren’t raSINs?

Is it legal? Yeah, because California is their venue and for all the legal protections afforded to consumers, it still allows crap like this. [Entire rant on how consumer protections are still largely a facade omitted.] What really pisses me off about it is that their own policy mentions that they won’t process the full subscription amount before the renewal date, which was still 4 days out - but in reality, they could have done this on the 1st day of the trial period and said “yeah, you get that time free … and, a year after that, which you pay for” and it would still be totally legal.
I can dispute the charge. It’ll still apply, but I can at least make them burn time on it if the credit card company goes to them. (We’ll see if that happens.) Thinking of other ways to make them burn significantly more than the amount they billed, too.
