and most of that payment going towards my saving

For the first several years at least, most of the mortgage payment goes to interest and taxes, not principal, and is "wasted" in much the same way rent is.

That seems to redirect me to the same page linked earlier in this thread (https://myaccount.google.com/security). Taking a look in my admin console, it looks like "Allow users to turn on 2-step verification" is unchecked, so presumably 2-step verification is not enabled for this account. That's exactly what I want, but it seems Google is failing to abide when they think I'm a "hacker". Other people have had the same frustrations[0][1] but there is apparently no way to stop Google requiring additional verification at their whim. Ultimately that means Google controls when I can and can't login to my account, so it ceases to be a usable product for me.

I appreciate your help, though!

I don't know how they determine what options to offer, but using my phone was the only one given, despite entering a correct password. The only other option, which I either found from the "Learn more" link or after exhausting the "login with your phone" attempts, was to create a support ticket for my G-suite account which, in this case, would have been slower than returning to home a few hours later where I had left my phone.

Now, you have one more option—and it’s already in your pocket. Starting today in beta, your phone can be your security key—it’s built into devices running Android 7.0+.

You know, it's nice they phrase this as an "option", but in my experience Google has the habit of forcing me to have my phone on me when I login from a new location / new device, something I never asked for and apparently cannot disable.[0] This has locked me out of my Google account more than once which also locks me out of anything that sends 2FA to my Gmail or Gvoice. I guess I'm thankful that I've learned this in non-emergency scenarios, as I'm now prepping to degoogleify myself, but it's a user-hostile in my opinion. Security always has convenience trade-offs, but let the user decide where they want to draw that line.

Did anyone else notice the "The Network is the Computer™" slogan on workers.dev? I didn't see any footnotes, is this something Cloudflare now owns?

... will likely have negative effects on its health

Indoor cats have lifespans multiple times that of outdoor cats, so I think the alternative has negative effects on health, too.

I think it's less about blame and more about objective recognition that the relationship and/or person was not as perfect as we'd like to think when we're going through heartbreak. There's a quote from Bojack Horseman, "When you look at someone through rose colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags." I think this suggestion is more about being honest about the negatives that one looked past, even if one was content with the tradeoff.

The movie "Live Free or Die Hard" explores this idea in the context of terrorism - the plot revolves around a "fire sale" in which transportation, transcommunication, and power/utilities are effectively shut down. It is a Die Hard film though so it's not quite based in reality.

I'm surprised you're being downvoted, I agree with you. I'm not even sure how you would do this, as Tinder Bumble et al don't show surname. Search by given name and job / university? Not everyone shows those, and even if they do, I agree it's weird to stalk someone's info on FB just by finding their dating profile.

Doesn't seem to work in Chromium 62 or Chrome 63. Occasionally the browser says "Rats! WebGL hit a snag. [Ignore] [Reload]", and neither action helps. Occasionally WebGL doesn't hit a snag, but the visualization only loads partly, with some buildings, sometimes with color but sometimes not, and just overall appears broken.

1. I have a hard time managing my bank account AND my main credit card. Mint seems to think me paying off my credit card bill is another expense, however Mint already tracked the CC charges so basically Mint thinks I run a massive loss every month (yes I've tried fixing this, multiple times)

Paying the credit card bill of $X from your bank account should be offset by the crediting of $X to your credit card.

Spend $100 on your credit card, Pay $100 to your credit card from bank, Credit card has +$100 credit

The only net spending here is the original $100. The line item of the $100 coming from your bank should not be counted as additional expense, since it should be offset by the line item credit on the credit card.

Fwiw, Mint seems to handle this fine for me.

I had this happen to me last year and was never able to get it resolved. Like some in the article, the deletion of my account was incomplete- my wishlist were still there, I could place orders from an Android device where I was still signed in on the app, and to this day I have a dash button that will order from my supposedly deleted account.

Why must the search be constrained by dates? If I'm providing a start location, and a budget, I'd like to see options for travel regardless of dates - indeed I'd hope this would allow for more flexibility to stay within the budget.
