Many modern cars only check for the fob on startup, so you can drive away without the fob but as soon as you turn the car off, you are stuck.

I found this out the hard way by dropping my partner and his keys off at a Dr office and then driving away.

IDK why it doesn't check for fob before engaging Drive, as would seem sensible.

I was coming here to say this. Before NewEgg, the best way to buy computer parts was to show up at a conventions center or fairgrounds, firehall or community college for the next Computer Show. Buy some parts in cash from people who speak barely any English and then either take it all home and start assembling or hand it off to the ancient guy chain-smoking at the back door and pay him to zip-tie it together in 5 minutes for you.

Years and years of doing this and we only had one situation when we cracked the case later and found out the guy has swapped the parts we bought for used Dell components when we were at lunch. Always took them home after that.

He was living in the UK studying on a football scholarship. I can't imagine the cultural shock of moving from rural Thailand to the UK much less doing it with the tough after effects of such a traumatic experience.

You mean to tell me that it's too much trouble for them to keep track of their own leadership and bishops to remember which have been accused of misbehavior and sexual abuse, but they totally have the time and capacity to keep track of which church members had a sex change and then group them with the empty file of sex abusers to was too troublesome to keep?

First rule of parenting: Give in right away or not at all. If it's been long enough to type this post, you're going to have to ignore the screaming for dessert until they fall asleep from exhaustion because if you give in now, all you've done is encourage tantrums.

Distract the kid, take em for a walk, talk to them in whispers until they quiet down enough to hear your and then tell them knock knock jokes.

Literally anything that's not giving them dessert.

I have a lot of friends who have a fruit smoothie every morning and wonder why they aren't losing weight. Bananas, apples, and grapes in particular are to be avoided. Most berries are okay.

Modern fruits have too much fructose for good health these days. They've been bred to be way too sweet.

I did this for a business number many years ago and it worked fine.

Oh wow. No one ever asks about my undergrad grades anymore. It was a study-abroad in London, UK at Goldsmith's college. I got whatever a UK "D" was at the time, a 55 or something. Thankfully I came with a study-abroad program guide who gave us a "US Grade Equivalent" sheet at the start which said that was a passing grade and I didn't worry about it. For the course "Animals In Medieval Art and Literature" which became 3 credits of Anthropology at my local state university in the United States toward a Bachelor's in Science the following year. I entered grad school 4 months after that in an unrelated field and never used this knowledge for anything but trivia since.

Use Coursera to take a Certification in an area that interests you like IT or bookkeeping. I found it dead easy and the courses were broken down into really small units that I could finish a few a day.

Ha! I wrote a paper about the meaning of dragons for a undergrad anthropology college course in 2003 and I cited the heck out of this book. Also Mythical Beasts edited by John Cherry.
