  • About, oh my a decade ago, I had what I call the toffpocalypse. I was drinking and decided to make toffee from sweetened condensed milk by boiling the cans in a pot. Well I inevitably fell asleep and woke up to the alarms in the entire apartment blaring. There was a thick smoke and the dog had pooped on the floor in fear. The cans had exploded when the water boiled away, denting the ceiling and the stove hood. I turned off the stove, opened the windows, and fanned the smoke until the alarms stopped. Luckily the building alarms had not gone off.

    I had intended it to be a video gaming heavy weekend as my wife was away visiting a friend. Instead I had to use wet rags to clean toffee off of the ceiling as best as I could for all of Sunday. I did manage to mostly get it all clean. It was a good lesson to learn not to actively cook while not sober, the results could have been much worse, even fatal















  • Haha, there’s one specific ringtone that still gives a small pang of panic when I hear it, and it’s been almost a decade since Ive been out of collections. I largely used the dispute option off of creditkarma, though that might have been before intuit bought them, so I don’t know if it changed.

    I don’t think the clock resets if the debt is sold. Just if you make certain actions on it, though I can’t remember the particulars right now and the state you reside in will matter

    Edit: ah ok Ukraine, I’m not sure, but good luck, you’ve got this. Screw those vultures
