It was a random Sunday afternoon, and I encountered a shiny in the wild, and destroyed it with my incredibly powerful Mega Charizard X.

Ah, yes I would agree with that in some circumstances. If your monthly budget has very little wiggle-room, then paying off one or two small ones first could be worth it so you have a little more flexibility to pay less some months if needed. But once you have an adequate emergency fund, and room in your budget for…

I also recommend everyone pay everything automatically, don’t manually pay any bills. This removes the negative feelings from paying a bunch of separate bills. For example, my budget has one category for “student loans”, they are paid automatically, and I see that as one thing, even though really its three separate…

My advice would be to sort of combine the “quick wins” idea with the proper method of paying off high interest first. Just like he suggests celebrating one month of emergency fund even though it’s not your ultimate goal, celebrate paying off $1000 of debt even if that doesn’t actually completely payoff any individual…

I’d be interested in trying IFTTT. Currently one of the main things I have Tasker do is automate my Wifi.

With an immediate annuity... the annuity begins paying out immediately or within a year.

I call BS on the multiple versions thing being BS. It’s two separate story lines, and they’ve said each one on its own has as much content as FE: Awakening. Assuming that’s true, this model was their only option. The real issue is the fixed price that all games are expected to come at.

Personally, I think they should be required to quote interest in mathematically accurate and descriptive terms. i.e. “annual effective rate of x%” and “annual real rate of x%” instead of APY, or “annualized nominal rate of x% compounded monthly/daily/etc” instead of APR.

Just like everyone else in the comments, I’m so tired of this. There was a time, years ago, when this made sense. But these days it just doesn’t. Make things available for Android too. A “few months” is a rediculous time frame, not to mention vague. Do they realize how many people will end up just never playing the…

The 5, which you say it runs on, is almost 3 years old. The 4, wich you say it doesn’t, is 8 days short of 5 years old. If a PC game came out, and couldn’t run on an average five year old PC, would you be complaining?

I’m still a little worried about platform. I played 1 and 2 on xbox 360, have they said anything about platform for this or for season 3? And if they won’t be on last gen systems, will I be able to somehow transfer my save to the PC or Android versions of future seasons? (I don’t have an Xbox One, so hopefully they…

One of the benefits of credit cards is the part where you said you won’t see your money for a while. With a credit card, you never lose the money. Even if it takes them a while to “review your claim”, in the meantime when you pay your credit card bill you don’t have to pay for the bogus charge. You’re never actually…

There’s nothing “safe” about using paypal: http://gizmodo.com/paypal-has-to-…

Another good reason can be peace of mind. I had a Bank of America credit card, and was fed up with their crap. My credit is otherwise good, and my credit utilization is generally low even without that card. So I decided it was worth closing the account, just so I had the peace of mind from knowing I have no account at…

The Droid Turbo is part of the Droid brand, a line if phones Motorola makes specifically for Verizon. So I don’t think it will come to any other carriers, sorry 😞

I have a Moto X 2014. My next phone will definitely be a new version of the Moto X or a new Nexus. I wouldn’t touch a Samsung phone with a 39.5 foot pole.

There’s a saying I remember learning back in school while I was learning some statistics: Statistics never lie, statisticians do.

Very true. I saw a diagram on the internet once showing the parts of a bee and a wasp. The bee was labeled with things like “abdomen” and “wings”. All the parts of the wasp were labeled with words like hatred, anger, wrath, etc.

That’s a separate issue. There was a while where it was a popular issue to discuss how your charger was “leeching” power even when you weren’t using it. It was about the cord still being plugged into the wall during the day, while your phone isn’t even plugged into the other end.

At least spiders are stuck on the ground. Bees and wasps can fly, and are equipped with tiny daggers that they will stab you with. They are what’s truly terrifying.
