Exactly. There's always going to be some iteration of "things that demand our money". Just like each person must hit that point that they realize that one can't control their life without doing things like "working", "creating", or using your life to create value, there comes a point where one realizes they DON'T want…

I'm feeling you here. I worked for Comcast Tech support for a year, and I completely understand both sides.

It is "a standard" in the same sense that you could say "a standard mint case" could refer to either Altoids or Tic Tacs.

Depending on your handiness, you could put everything hidden next to the TV.

Oh man, that's brilliant. I had one of those on my old workbench, never thought of using it for this. Need to check if we got rid of it or brought it along when we moved...

The way I've learned to speak clearly is by emulating other clear speakers. I enjoy listening to Kai Ryssdal of Marketplace.org, and use his tones and timing while speaking.

It's not anything new or special - it's basically giving you the ability to do things that your phone already does - voice activated actions - but it's an app that runs in the background. It's only useful on phones that already have Google Now and other voice commands... its an app that removes "push the button" from…

I'm pretty sure you can change the default phrase. I'm looking forward to setting mine to respond to "Jarvis" instead of Google.

"I hate beer brand beer"

Drill small holes in the shelf and use zipties to hang it on the bottom. It's neat, cheap, and won't melt from residual heat.

That's exactly what he does - he focuses on behavior rather than finance. The nuance, the finances of what you say makes sense. But since he's in the behavior business, he looks at everything through that lens. She obviously doesn't have a behavior problem, as she's debt free sans the car & the house. Regardless of…

Dave Ramsey's advice isn't awful, it's just not "financial". It's focused on behavior rather than "the numbers" and he states that, often.

In Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, and Massachusetts, it is illegal for any vehicle in motion to use its hazard lights. Other states allow hazard lights in emergency situations or to indicate a traffic hazard (like heavy rain), while others—such as Georgia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and others—allow hazard…

Very much this. The main issue I've found with brown-bagging it or using leftovers is occasionally you'll hit an awkward period when there isn't anything to eat - You ran out of bread for sandwiches, the kids were abnormally hungry last night, you woke up late, etc, etc, etc.

But that's not what she said - she said that they agreed on playing for free. When I was in the "musician" stage of my life, I often didn't have the funds for proper wedding gifts - so I offered my talent AS the gift to them.

I usually uninstall Facebook, and set all apps to update only when on wifi, simply for power consumption reasons. Its like having a second battery, which is great, as my Droid Razr M doesn't have a removeable battery.

On a related note, "knee bag" sounds like an international insult with meaning lost in translation...

That's part of the crash test protocol - random crap flying around

That's actually one of the cool things about electric cars (and other types of fuel cell vehicles) - If created right, you can reverse the power consumption. Power goes out due to inclement weather? You have an entire car to act as a pseudo-generator for your home, through the same coupling used to charge the car,…

And Cheaper!
