He clearly bullshitted last week.

I’m going back to my Note 4 as of today, my Note 7 is being returned until I’m statisfied this whole thing has been resolved at which point I’ll get a new one, or who knows it may be the Note 7s or note 8 by then just to wash away the stigma of this entire situation. But one thing is for sure as you said no other…

I have to shake my head whenever I hear people say they’ll just skip school altogether rather than take student loans - loans that typically have extremely low rates, can be deferred, and are going toward putting you in a career that will cover those loans and then some for the rest of your life.

Why are 75% of people with open Takata airbag recalls still driving around with grenades in their dashboards?

I didn’t know Georgia O’Keefe made wallets now.

Not true. If the equity loan is secured by your primary home, is not more than $100,000, and the total value of all loans is less than the fair market value of your home, it is deductible, even if you spent it on hookers and blow. You only have to prove you used it for home improvement if you go beyond those…

Why would your bartender be able to help, even if they own the bar, odds are good they go through a distributor and the odds are slim they live near you. My guess would be that they would simply say BevMo or Total Wine & More (both offer larger selections than any shop and have better prices).

On my travels in Europe before the Euro, I came up with “International Beer Units” to compare prices. First, buy a beer in the new country then compare every price to how many beers you could buy instead. A pizza is 6 beers, that's too high. A hotel is 20 beers, sounds good. This was a pretty effective measure, since…

The package labels you read are all in grams. For example, this diet coke says “Protein: 0g” (not ounces or barleycorns or whatever)

Thank you for this excellent example of “Just Because You Can, Doesn’t Mean You Should."

Sometimes I learn that things I mistakenly thought were quite cool are actually things I should have been embarrassed by all along. See: musicals, debate team, a capella, piano bars. And then I remember that everyone is wrong and those things are quite cool and that I’m glad I’m a grownup now so I get to decide that.

The main reason they up-charge is because weddings are more work and pressure for a given size of event. If you do call them out on it, be ready and willing to make concessions and guarantees that you will not require that extra work.

This just spells bad news to me. When I was an assistant photographer, the higher price for wedding work paid my wages, rental for more equipment, and insurance. And my boss had multiple people come up to him with hundreds of last-minute requests (“oh you HAVE to get a photo of Sneauxflaeuke as the flower girl!”) and…

You know, you might have had a point up til you started talking about how great Canada’s unis looked...those look like hipster douche trash sportcoats, not “we mean business suits”.

Comcast is my company, so I can only speculate that the problem is either that it’s because you’ve spoken to Retention, or because they’re untrained and don’t know what they’re actually capable of doing. Probably the former.

To be fair, he had to make it all the way down to the fifth sentance to get that. That’s asking a lot.

While many of these points are valid, I think a better way to summarize this is that many people misstate their calories when calorie counting and not as much that there are inherent problems with calorie counting. It takes discipline not only to eat better, but to track it all as well. If you start to take shortcuts…

Step 1: Make hash browns for 7 hours

So my current collection of forever stamps is, much like some of my 401K holding, giving me negative returns... Time to dollar-cost average into the market!

I’m so sad I understood that shiplap reference.
