Yes, the MMM does a much better job at discussing it than I did. It might even been his article that I was referencing “They pay dividends and appreciate in price at a total rate of 7% per year, before inflation. Inflation eats 3% on average, leaving you with 4% to spend reliably, forever.” incorrectly, instead of…

This spreadsheet is a good starting point for SWR planning. http://www.budgetsaresexy.com/2015/02/early-retirement-fi-spreadsheet/

So if you say some academics say the new SWR is 2%, what are they expecting for average growth?

You can look back in the archives and Trump has been lambasted on Gawker Media, since before the Univision purchase.

In Wisconsin there is a tortilla chip brand colored green and gold in honor of the Packers. Those green chips come out BRIGHT green. Made for fun dinner conversation.

There is always a loophole...

I’m 99% sure that won’t help. That would mean it was an “ex post facto” change, which is (accd: Wiki) illegal in most cases. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law#United_States

This David Cross bit is appropriate...

Both the Oxford dictionary (“1.2The white juice of certain plants”) and MW dictionary (“a white liquid produced by a plant”) disagree.

I’ve read a lot of J Money, Mr Money Mustache, and Jacob (Early Retirement Extreme) and I don’t think any of them agree with your distinction of quality loans. Your second point they definitely agree with.

We had mice in one house. Shoddy construction in the kitchen ended up with a gap in the cabinet that some mice made their way though. I set a trap right in the cabinet. Caught a mouse. Next day, I caught a slightly smaller mouse. Then three more nights catching the mouse-lets. I was very sad.

Same training at the DEA..

Now I’m wondering what “bee-girl” from Blind Melon’s No Rain video is up to....

Not yet. From Verge: “Plex says that currently only shows recorded to completion can be viewed with Plex DVR” .

Very interesting change. I’ve used MythTV for years (with a HDHomeRun), but with Plex having such good cross device support, this could push me to change.

You’ll have to watch the video, and then comment. My point was, that yes, air is compressible. So it is not putting pressure on the water and pushing it down. It’s just compressing. And honestly, that explanation assumes that you are somehow able to push air into the bottle at all. I really doubt that. Moving your…

If that was the case, blowing in the bottle would cause the bottom to drop out.

Was the closing malicious, or just because you are now separate entities? Or required by the divorce? We have a couple different cards, and if my partner left, I could see we each get one of the cards and take the other’s name off. That would allow us to keep history cards but still separate them.

The video’s experiment points to post cavitation rebound. I used to do this all the time when I worked in a bar. The other fun trick was taking empty 100+ proof bottles, running hot water over them, and then throwing a match in the neck. The inside lights up and a flame jets out the top with a high whistle. Good…

Japanese toilets come with a button to make a flushing sound to cover up any noises you make while voiding your bowels. They have this button, because people used to just flush over and over again wasting lots of water.
