Bought a new home in a suburb of Seattle in January, waived the inspection and still had no issues getting financing.

Would also be nice if, conversely, the Fire TV/Stick would support Google Play movies!

I work in Project Management in the construction industry, and long hours are a huge problem at a lot of firms, as clients keep tightening schedules and wanting their projects done yesterday. The last place I was at, the Operations Manager sat me down on my first day and told me he expected everyone in his department…

I agree with everything you just said, I was just stating it was an option. I brought it up because I recently accepted an offer from another company, and when i turned in my resignation I had 3 levels of management giving me counter offers and trying to talk me into staying. But at the level of the counters, I knew…

Along with getting any raise at all, changing jobs is usually your best opportunity to level up or get a much larger pay increase, or both at once. And if you are willing to leverage an offer from another company, you can coerce your current employer into a bigger raise or title to get you to stay.

On the renting vs buying a home aspect, i would also add that you should buy a house for a long term place to live, not an investment, as they are not easy to liquidate if you need cash in a hurry.

So, more expensive than Hulu, and also more restrictive. I don’t think they have thought their cunning plan through all the way...

I had to replace my Primo All-in-One over the weekend, and considered this, but in the end opted to spend the extra money and get a fully ceramic model, which IMHO just do a better job holding a temperature for longer. The Akorn is a decent entry into this type of cooking, especially at that price, but I’d view it as…

I’d amend the serrated bread knife to an offset handle serrated bread knife. When I worked in a kitchen in college, the offset serrated was used as much as the Chef’s knife

I've had several Swissgear bags, all outstanding, and was looking for a new one last week because my wife "appropriated" mine for work. The timing of this sale is perfect.

If you have a gas connection for your house already, it isn't terribly expensive to get a new line run. We are in the process of switching from an electric cooktop to gas, and even with permit it was only about $600 to run a new 1" line from the meter. Plus I have enough capacity to extend that line in the future to…

Yeah buddy! We made the first of a 2 part move over the weekend, and while the moving itself was hell-ish and our temporary situation is less than ideal, the drastically shorter commute (we're about 5 miles from our final destination, so it will be roughly static now) has made all the difference. Plus the new house…

New Place + 30 to 45 minute total daily commute > Old Place + Hassle and Expense of Moving - 1 to 2 hour daily commute.

Not that I don't appreciate these posts, but having similar topics geared to less creative and more regimented path would be nice. I am a project manager for a large construction company, so not checking email until noon and putting my phone in another room will only work in as much as I won't have a job to be…

Didn't even wait until New Years, booked a week in a condo in Hawaii in May right after Thanksgiving and got it approved immediately. Which is great, because in the last week I went from 3 projects to 6 that i am responsible for at the moment.

Don't forget that the entire ceiling will almost certainly need to be skim coated with drywall compound to seal it, smooth it, and make it level.

I stand corrected, in iOS you get 5 free, then have to upgrade to premium for more. Gripe withdrawn!

So I get to pay for something on my HTC One M8 that I can do for free on my iPad? No thanks

I picked up the cheapest Philips model when it went on sale a few weeks back, and it has made a noticeable difference to how I feel in the morning. I usually wake up about 5 or 10 minutes before it hits the peak intensity level I have it set for, so i enjoy a few minutes of letting the gradually brightening room…

Some contractors may list the permit costs, but expect the homeowner to pay for them directly, depending on the permit.
