It’s absolutely possible. It would depend on the store but I’m guessing a store that has a loyalty program is interested enough in analyzing customer data that they would use your credit card as a unique identifier of you as a customer, especially for transactions where there wasn’t a loyalty number entered.

How appropriate. You’ve aged like a cow.

Not exactly secret, but not very well-known. In many states your credit score can be used as a factor in determining the cost of auto insurance for you. Lower credit scores can equal higher premiums.

I think I was the same with MS DOS on my XT, because I remember buying an upgrade for a version 4.x at one point.

Here’s something totally bizarre that you might it might not care about.

The other day I brought up Metroid on the Nintendo Switch NES app (the one that lets you play some NES games with an online subscription.) After playing for a bit, I wanted to show him the Justin Bailey code. But I couldn’t remember it exactly at first. So I tried it in various cases, and when I enter the code with all lowercase letters, it crashed the game.

No idea if it’ll do that for everyone, or if it did that on the actual NES, but I tried it a few times and it crashed everything.

For reference, I entered in the code like this:

justin bailey
------ ------

But the actual code is:

JUSTIN BAILEY
------ ------

And I only knew the Wyld Stallyns version!

I thought your post said NASA at first, and I was really skeptical.

It’s been twisted so far from its original intention.

Just tell them, “Bubatz ist jetzt legal!”

In Kentucky, between Louisville and Frankfort, there is a city called “Simpsonville” and it’s right next to a city called “Shelbyville”.

A Simple Plan

My son is a voracious reader, and he has the same thing. He’s 15 now but still, every so often, he’ll say a word and it’ll take me a minute to figure out what he means.

Especially when it’s something that goes against “societal norms” like diet culture.

“You will find true love on Flag Day.”

I’d be fucked because I never really read books as a kid, either for entertainment or even when they were assigned as school work.

Now, if I could do that with video games or Saturday morning cartoons, I’d be good.

I fucking hope not.

It’s like you close your eyes, and then 5 seconds later you open them and hours have passed.

That’s what it was like for me. However when I “woke up”, my wife was in the room next to me and I was already sitting upright on the bed, dressed and shoes on. Apparently I had been awake for about a half hour and we both had a conversation with the doctor about how things went. I remembered none of it.

Make sure your spare has air.

That’s one that most people don’t often think about. You just assume that you’re OK because you have a spare. Happened to me once, although fortunately not in the middle of nowhere.
