Where do you draw the line and say mental health was the primary motivation of someone's actions? Is there some history of court cases that allow us to easily distinguish, through a clinical diagnosis, whether a person can be accused as a criminal?

Also something to consider when deciding on the down payment would be the possibility of paying mortgage insurance. If you have less than 20% equity in the home upon purchasing, you will be required to pay insurance until that equity is reached. Here's an article about it and how to get rid of it from bankrate.

I'm not trying to make this into a broader argument about safety vs. freedom. That's a much more complicated issue. But there has to be a point in the size/speed of a UAV where they become dangerous enough to the general public that A) not everyone should be allowed to freely operate it and B) the areas of operation…

Eh, I loved flying gas powered model airplanes when I was younger and I would never fly one in an area like this, even if it were electric. The fact is, whether you want to call it a toy or not, UAVs of most sizes can be dangerous. So I don't have a problem saying this should be regulated. Now do I think a 10K fine is…

YES. I actually use both because I started with mint then learned that I needed a way to not only budget, but see future account balances. I had been using a google spreadsheet for a while, but I needed something more so I started using Quicken. Ironically, Intuit also built Mint, so you'd think this would be pretty…

The only problem I see with mint (which I use) is that it lacks the ability to predict account balances. Their desktop software from Quicken does it quite well, but they have not added the feature to mint.

Hello Hal. Thanks for coming on.

I'd like to do this in my car's console. That would be sooo convenient. No plugging/unplugging, just set it down and boom, charge time.

Nice grass!

Walgreens has a very easy way to do this if you link your RXs with an online account. It gives me the entire year of RXs and makes it very easy to add it to my medical deduction. I also use mint and can easily export all my expenses in the "doctor" category, including copays, co-insurance, and the rest to a…

I appreciate most of the financial articles on lifehacker. Of course you can have money left over in your budget after expenses. However, by definition, a financial windfall, "is a sudden, unexpected piece of good fortune or personal gain." So, no, I don't dismiss the article by saying "must be nice" (to get a…

Must be nice!!

Yeah nothing is ever guaranteed I suppose, but in this case, the chances of him forgetting to text her sound far more likely, based on his story, than the possibility of an erroneous text sent from the app. Which makes the use of this "automation" worth setting up. At least for them.

My wife wouldn't care how it happened. I think it's akin to setting up a shared calendar. His wife just wants to plan on him either getting home on time or not. If they can accomplish that through this bit of tech, and avoid conflict by automating the process, why not? To me it's just as much of a loving gesture that…

I've actually had trouble with this lately. My sister pays for an HBO subscription and shares the login with me, but recently I tried to access HBOGO through my roku on my home network using uverse internet (the same provider as my sister) and it told me my uverse account was not subscribed to HBO. I think they are…

You pointed out just about the only reason I watch women's figure skating, in that last sentence.

This would be a tough one for me. After our kid goes to sleep, my wife and I get about 2 hours before we need to hit the hay, so that would leave us zero time for i pad, tv, and phone gazing following this strategy. Although, I usually stare at a screen until literally right before I go to bed, but I doze off pretty…

Unless it is seagate stock you're talking about!

Nice! I'm setting up to get an overland 4x4 ecodiesel in a few months. Really like the vehicle and everything they've put into them.
