Conversely, some of my coworkers will take flights with multiple stops to gain the miles. Non-stops are often cheaper, or comparable, because of this, even though the reverse used to be the norm.

I partly disagree on the slow cooker; I own a cheap one and a mid-priced one, and am looking to get a slightly more expensive one - the cheap one is an all-in-one and a pain to clean, it can't go in the dishwasher. I feel it's worth a bump up for that reason. The mid-range I have can, and it has a timer. Totally worth…

I decided to look at suitcases before a big trip and found one of these on a super clearance in a store whose name rhymes with 'Tears' for a hundred bucks. If I'm just doing a short trip in spring/summer I admittedly only pack stuff in a backpack and tote, but for longer trips and trips where warmer clothes are…

...Gibson is cyberpunk, not steampunk. So he's already what she's describing. So it's already 'techno paradise' and all of her other word vomit. (I adore Gibson fwiw)

As someone who flies frequently, the idea of getting there early is great, but the scenarios expressed simply do not happen. If you went in with this attitude, you'd do nothing more than tick off people who are in a hurry and make yourself frazzled. First of all, why are you going to the pre-security check-in at all?…

But it doesn't need to be said. It's said ALL the time. It's said any time any woman any where has anything to drink. It's said how stupid she is, how she should have done something differently, how it is HER fault that someone decided to drug her, or that if a woman gets drunk she's no longer a human being. So let's…

If you're getting estimates, ask them what types of financing they offer too. I needed a new a/c, and when they came to give me an estimate they also provided me with information on their financing programs (which included a 0% for 18 month credit card). I went ahead and used it since I knew I could access the full…

One other thing of note; that BoA Cash Rewards also allows you to get an extra bonus if you set it to deposit as cash into your BoA account. Plus they have Cash Back deals that you can sign up for that will give you bonus money at select stores. If you're not a fan of BoA, you should see if your bank has any similar…

You know how some people get really irritated by misusing its/it's? Well, LEGO is like that to me. It's supposed to be in all-caps. LEGO.

I use Pinterest for a lot of these, but there are some things that always seem a bit scattered that would be good...

Look up Solutions Engineer or Solutions Consultant too. I described it below in another comment as it is my job (and for FIGJAM, it's a pre-sales technical role, so not like a post-sales consultant, but there are some similarities - and for WIYFC, I don't know that anyone would use this title who wasn't making serious…

Yep! It's my job, but we have gone from the title of SA to Solutions Engineers to Solutions Consultants. TBH, the title is confusing to those not in tech sales, as all of those terms typically tend to mean something quite different to people. Ultimately, we support sales reps by doing demos, answering tech questions,…

As someone who just bought my second home, I can say that it is definitely more challenging to buy now than it was several years ago. I recommend that whatever any automated system or bank tells you, avoid going near the top of the range they say you can afford. Things will break, you'll want to change some things,…

I'm in the middle of a move and those are some great tips! I would add that in your 'first day' kit, you should include some basic tools, scissors or an Exacto, can/bottle openers, towels (always know where your towel is!), TP, and chargers for your phone (if you don't have a purse or other bag that would normally go…

As soon as we put the contract down for our new house, I started going through Pinterest to get ideas and inspiration for decorating, furniture, landscaping, grilling, etc. to start planning things out. Houzz is nice for inspiration too, but it tends to be more pie-in-the-sky stuff whereas much on Pinterest is more…

Some of this seems a bit excessive for a one-day trip. I'd recommend bringing a backpack (since it can go in overheads on even tiny aircraft) with basic essentials; tech chargers, snack, etc., and a change of socks/underwear/shirt and a small toiletry kit in case you get stranded. It's a good idea to register for…

Thanks; I have been doing direct searches for the requirements I have in the jurisdiction I need (and then contacting lawyers via the sites that I find) and I have a legal plan and contacted the lawyers through them also. I did also use several referral sites too. I've been avoiding the phone because it's a…

Ugh, I just wish I could FIND a lawyer at this point. 80% of the time I submit a query, get a 'thanks for contacting us, we'll call you in the next day or so' and never get a call back. 10% I get a request for more info, send it, and then never hear back. The other 10% are ones that end up not being able to work in…

I got a membership to a warehouse club via a groupon deal; it was $35 for a year's membership and included a $25 gift card - so $10/year. Worth keeping an eye out for it.
