This is so timely. My 2019 Jetta lease expires next month and the best the dealer is willing to do on a new lease is a joke. I’ll get a third party loan (VW financing is high by comparison) and keep the balance of the warranty (3 years). The mileage is very low thanks to lockdown, and the previous owner is a super…

Oh, you missed so many things!

In my area (and probably yours too) there are plenty of coffee shops. Heck, every gas station and C-store offers excellent coffee and drink options these days. You do not have to go to Starbucks.

If I remember correctly, the reason I purchased my first bagless is because of the difficulty in finding the correct sized bags. Maybe it’s easier to find bags on-line now but years ago, if you had a more obscure size you were SOL and when they were in available you needed to hoard stock up. Before this post, I’d…

I’m guessing this is emblematic of the general leasing situation: the residual values are far lower than the actual values. As the article points out, used cars are worth more than dealers expected when they set residuals 3 or 4 years ago.

I’ve tried nearly all methods mentioned here (and in the comments). All work to varying degrees of success, none wrong.

College fraternities are made up of white males, black males, latinx males, females, and LGBTQ. Lumping all college students that are fraternity and sorority members as “entitled douchebags” demonstrates your stupidity and willful ignorance.

No texts for nearly a week now on my old LG V30. When I called T-Mo, they told me about the issue but offered no fix and suggested I “sit tight” as they were working with LG. This article provided the correct solution.

I would love to own some “Be Best” merch for my collection of political memorabilia. I can only imagine the conversation I will have years from now: when the puzzled observer asks, I will have an excellent story about the waning days of a failed presidency.

The part of the fist that should be taking the impact is the flat area between the second and third knuckles.

To those being bullied, harassed, or worse, here is some free advice: In most cases, HR exists to protect the company from it’s employees, not the other way ‘round. If you feel the need to approach HR with an issue and you don’t have an alternative, you may want to consult with a legal advisor first.

I think this is good perspective, but it requires a strategy regarding how they will behave around other kids whose families follow the standard route.

I was studying Political Science in the 80s. My focus was the Soviets and the Cold War. When I graduated in 1989, none of this was relevant (whoopsie!). Nevertheless, I got a great job in government and ultimately built a nice career based on this experience. Far from worthless, my Bachelor of Science degree has paid…

A: Don’t use Zoom

Hi Claire! Here is my chili recipe. It has never been entered nor won any contests. It is simply the current (likely final) version of 30+ years work perfecting a concept for the most accurate, authentic taste profile possible. It is both mild and full of flavor! Although authenticity was the original goal, there are…

Really, you don’t need to have any pretext as to why you are reaching out. Even if your opinion is radically different from theirs, they will definitely take note. Your letter will have the most impact if it is free of discussion of your voting record, how much you donate to them, etc. Do say that you are a…

Years ago I ran an office for a state senator. Among other things, we used to gather constituent opinion for the senator to consider. The biggest influencers were (in order): hand-written letters, typed or printed letters, emails, telephone calls, form letters (including barely edited versions) or their post-card…

Tabasco is excellent on mac and cheese, particularly if you’ve made deep-fried mac and cheese bars, or waffled mac and cheese.

I also like a crispy skin (the best part!) so like you, I gave up the foil years ago. I also go the extra step of an olive oil rub and K salt before baking.

I am a salaried employee who works from home and I have ALWAYS qualified. This new tax plan removed the home office deduction and capped the amount of state tax deductible against the federal. This is a huge middle finger salute to the middle class.
