Don’t forget that this is all about average tourism. Stay in London, and the UK is very expensive. Spend you time at a bed and breakfast in a little village, and it will be much less so.

Are these really $400,000 each? You can buy a quite nice twin-engine plane for that sort of money. Spending that on ground transportation is foolish.

I tried one of these antennas at my location about 35 miles away from the nearest station. It wouldn’t pick up a single one.

Quote: “... I become more likely to get the axe because the I score lower on the easiest and most useless metric.”

Perhaps someone should sent these links to Jeff Bezos at Amazon. He seems to think that 60-hour weeks are a near necessity for his company.

I dabbled with programming long ago and found it boring. Having a cute cheerleader to urge me on is perhaps the only thing that’d get me to work in that field.

This fits with my experience on a Mac mini using multiple, RAM-hungry Adobe CC apps. I have 16 gig but could easily be getting by 8. That said, I don’t regret my purchase. I got that 16 gig from a third-party source for under $100. 8 gig would not have been that much cheaper. It’s a cheap way to future-proof hardware.

Those with tight budgets might want to get an art/drafting table rather than a standing desk. Many can be adjusted high enough to be used standing. New, they can be bought for as low as $120. I picked mine up at Goodwill for only $15. I love it!

If companies expect their women employees to travel, they should cover this expense.

Look around for witnesses, particularly if an accident is involved. I saw one traffic accident where the fault was clear. I gave the other guy my business card and told him that, if the other guy tried to argue otherwise, to give me a call.

The idea makes sense. Insurance rates are forward-looking, meaning they’re based on the risk of a future accident. Setting rates based on no more than an individual’s own accident rate wouldn’t work. Also, there are ways a single can make their rates lower, such as by not getting traffic tickets.

Remember, all these fans do is make your inside temperature equal to that outside. Look at the difference between your day and night temperatures. If it remains hot and humid at night, these fans will do you little good. If it cools down substantially at night, you can soak enough cool into your house’s structure to…

How cheap! Microsoft could easily rent the added bandwidth for this.

Agreed! The changes a child must go through between the first and sixth grade are enormous and require a lot of growth and adaptation. In contrast, most adults lives change little between 55 and 60. Life at the end of that period seems like that at the beginning, creating the appearance of compressed time.

Sadly, our long-term allies and friends the Brits, now have no long-range bombers. Notice how little it cost to bring this one back to life, just $13 million. It’d be great if, perhaps under a wiser administration than the one we’re stuck with now, we brought back to life several of Type 1000 B-52s and transferred…

A quick-and-simple fix is what I did: replace the usual incandescent lamp with a low-wattage LED. Use a red one if you often raid the refrigerator at night to keep your night vision.

Those who’re interested might want to check out a newer device from the same company that’s called the Neo. It has more features and isn’t that much more on eBay.

Dog fighting matters because in real-world combat it’s not good to just blast out of the sky any aircraft that’s not sending out the proper ‘I’m a friend’ codes. And once you’ve closed close enough to determine friend or foe, you’re in a dog fight if it’s a foe.

When your installing or upgrading one, consider adding a timer. One for 10, 20, 30, 60 minutes works well for me. 10 is fine for a toilet and 30 for a single shower. 60 should work well with multiple showers.

Maybe, but you’re not far from your work desk at that treadmill. If it’s not too far to go, try walking around shopping mall. The temperature is climate controlled, and the changing people should help.
