When I did it, you could opt out electronically for 5 years, but a lifetime opt out requires you to mail a printed form. I'm guessing the lenders have something to do with that and are banking on most people not having a printer.
Edit: Or having to deal with paying for a stamp and putting something in the mail.
But yes, I love their 90s clip art.
After I graduated college and got my first place on my own, I had my desk set up in the corner of the living room with a long HDMI cable strung around along the baseboards and into the TV. It was clean. It was a Vizio 37" panel from 2011 so it had no smart features. I kept a Logitech keyboard/trackpad combo on the coffee table and that's essentially how I had a smart TV running full blown Windows 8 Pro in 2013. Tired of desk gaming? I got a DualShock 4 and a Bluetooth adapter so all I had to do was turn the controller on and walk to the couch. Sometimes, switching my sound device did mean saving and restarting my game. Some games handled the Alt + Tab to the Control Panel just fine. I put a Blu Ray drive in my computer too so with some software, I used it as a Blu Ray player.
These days, I have 10 TB on board so I keep my movies stored on my disk, and I stream them over my local network. I'd like to build a proper always on NAS one day, but for now, my gaming PC is also my network share.
If we're sharing our dogs, here's mine.
It wasn't a successful day at the park if he doesn't sprinkle 15 molecules of pee on every tree at least a few times. He also marks the benches, despite my efforts to stop him. He's very rude like that.
He just turned 2 years old a few weeks ago.
Bold thing to say when your house is flammable.
A screenshot I saw somewhere.
If you're just now learning about him, I both envy and pity you.
I hope not. We already have a serious mouse problem as it is.
Of course. He headbutts everything though so it's nothing special
He LOVED the box.

The anti-natalists have a point.
After the shit week, I think I'm gonna take it easy and play lots of video games this weekend.
For context, my wife is always criticizing how I don't add enough salt to the dishes I cook. I also have no tats. She does.
But at least you can always add more salt lol
This specific video has helped me buckle down and get shit done so many times. I've even made loops of songs I have copies of on my computer for this kind of thing. The repetition OH MY GOD it tickles my brain in just the right way so as to boost productivity. It's great how that can cancel out the ADHD when I have deadlines looming.
Video game music does the same thing. Death by Glamour gets me in the ZONE.
Open the post for the album. Or don't. I'm not your mom.
You have to be really careful opening doors. He's bolted a few times. He's only ever made it to the end of the patio before he stops like the grass is made of lava. It makes it pretty easy to walk to him and catch him. Still, I don't want to risk him ever getting brave enough to actually go so I always shoo him away before I open the door.
He loves to reach up at the things he wants. He realizes doors are the way outside so trims to all of our exterior doors are covered in scratch marks. This is how he learned to open the door between the kitchen and the garage. That door gets locked now. We just leave the key in the chamber on the other side.
Smart little butthead.
Or, at least, what it does.
Thorin turned 11 years old in June. He's definitely less playful than he once was, but he's as lovely as he's always been.
He certainly sleeps a lot.
We social distance, usually wear masks in public, and stay up to date on our vaccinations. But all it took was one lady with a mean cough on a two hour flight a week ago to ruin that...or so we think.
The timing really sucks. I had plans for my weekend.
I see the Westin Seattle, I photograph the Westin Seattle.
And in case you don't know:
Give it a listen if you like indie rock.
Later, I go home, look in the mirror, and exclaim:
