In my experience negotiating with cars, if you negotiate with multiple dealers on cars with slightly different options packages (one guy doesn't have the basic package, but does have one in the next higher package), you can generally use the differential to your advantage. Especially if you start negotiating from…

I asked different IT guys at work what their home setup is, and more often than not they seem to do a wired router like the Ubiquiti EdgeMax Lite, and then sprinkle around a few switches and wireless access points. They get crazy uptimes from all that...like over a year between reboots.

Used, although I'm open to new.

Factoring in price and MPG, what is the most affordable 8-seater car/van/whatever out there for big families?

Once you've gotten initial quotes from different dealers, they all seem to settle into the same range. What are some good strategies to get them moving lower again?

Can we get a script/feature that lets you move stuff from one profile's list to another in your account? I still don't have all my kids' crap off my list from before that was an option.

Nice analysis. It would also be interesting to look at it from the other side, as far as which teams had the most players drafted into the NFL and doing a backward weighting to the previous 4 years, similar to how you weighted forward the high school recruiting stars forward.

Doesn't concrete and fire have the tendency to explode? I might be wrong, but I thought there was some issue with water collecting inside the pores of the concrete after a rain and then a fire causing the water inside to turn to vapor and expand.

Wow, that's a good source for tons of tool reviews. Thanks!

What's a good, entry-level biscuit joiner for those of us on a budget?

In my original post I was speaking specifically about range. The range is what ultimately matters to the end user.

No magic. They are already talking about a 135 mile range (with rumors of a 160 mile option) for the 2017 Leaf over the current 88 miles, mostly by adding batteries.

The lease deal in the picture brings up another reason to lease certain cars...for electric cars I'd rather let the dealer take on replacement battery costs and technology risks until it gets more mature and you start seeing 10 year old EV's on the road. Only then do I think it makes sense to buy an EV.

I would use one for major life events that have a lot of financial complexity around them.

I've done this. Actually did it a bunch back when I was training for half marathons. I ran at night, and partying could not get in the way of training.

The internet price is just the starting point for negotiations.

I can't express enough the need to open the box in the store and look at how the faucet attaches to the sink. There are some that are made to be "easy" to install, but really are a fragile Rube Goldberg device that won't go in right 9 times out of 10 and will break quickly.

If you handle raw meat at all in the kitchen, you'll want a spray bottle of chlorine bleach, diluted with water around 20:1, although I typically make mine a lot stronger.

I'm guessing those seats were already bought for $500 each. Season ticket holders couldn't be bothered to come or scalpers couldn't unload them.

I think rung 5 comes way too late. Once you are saving "enough" for retirement, you should start saving for other goals (house, kids' college, etc) in an appropriate non-retirement account.
