For years, Google Maps was unable to provide me any directions from my saved location "Home" -- I had to type my actual address.
Just found out it's because my home address was set to the phrase "Your Saved Location".

I paid $250 for a rental car. Hertz charged me an extra $6 when I returned the car.
I asked why. They said that's just the way it is.
I asked why their website lied about the total. I sent them a receipt for $250.
Reader, I got my $6 back. And 200 points.

People on nextdoor are upset that residential parking permits will cost $40/year.
I hope each of them are also upset that PRT is proposing $0.25/ride rate increases.

As the person who held this person’s head till the EMS arrived, I sincerely hope this makes the city’s crash report
Bicyclist was just doored on Butler St. He dipped in and out of consciousness before being taken by the ambulance.
The police decided not to show up because “the biker left the scene.”
In an ambulance.
This is why our city crash data sucks — nothing is reported. 2023 had more than five crashes.

Got a letter from the IRS saying I didn’t pay my taxes and they’re charging me interest. I have another letter confirming I did pay.
I can’t contact them online and their phone lines keep refusing my call for this issue.
Thanks, DOGE.
