Ah, good old “Manhattan-north-of-14th-street-henge”. I personally prefer “West-4th-street-henge”, which falls roughly around Festember eleventy eighth.

The human and financial capital our society wastes on pursuing “free” parking is astounding.

If you’re traveling to a developing country where good medical facilities are either remote or non-existent, an enhanced travel insurance policy with medical evacuation is definitely worth considering.

If my friend is sharing photos of their trip to Paris I’d definitely rather see a picture of them in front of the Eiffel Tower than the Eiffel Tower by itself. I mean, I’ve seen it. A lot. And unless they’re a really amazing photographer I probably don’t need to see their unique take on it. It’s much more interesting…

Are you telling me that a minor league baseball team is using a gimmick in a shameless attempt to earn free publicity and sell more tickets? Alert the commissioner! Call your congressman! WHO WILL THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN???

We live in a high-rise apartment with a terrier. He is very dog-reactive and, frankly, freaks out whenever a neighboring dog walks by our door to the elevators, and our apartment is unfortunately right near the elevators. He’s smart and keen and we’ve taught him lots of tricks and have successfully addressed other…

Before you go out and change everything about your behavior at work, do consider this passage of the study itself:

Fun project! But if you’re persnickety enough to worry about how long the teabag has been in, you’re persnickety enough to drink loose-leaf tea. 👍

Basically, it can be used as an estate planning vehicle. Since the owner can change the beneficiary at any time as long as the new beneficiary is part of the “same family”, they can defer withdrawal more or less indefinitely by passing beneficiary-hood on to their children’s children, and then their children, etc.…

The dirty little secret of 529 plans is that if you can keep your money in them for long enough, they don’t actually have to be spent on education, or even on the person they’re nominally given to at all. They’re a modest savings plan for the upper-middle class, and a stupidly awesome tax avoidance scheme for the…

If you’re liquid for that kind of cash, the last thing you need is advice on 529s, I think.

Make better pumpkin pie by making squash pie. 🎓

Don’t blame me, I voted for SMOD.

The political subtext of “making pleasant conversation” (first line of the article) is so thick that barely counts as subtext.

A fine idea, until your shitbag uncle fills in blanks with “lock her up”, “build the wall”, etc. That will get dinner off to a great start. :)

If you run a business that has extremely volatile income (say an average income of $100k per year, but with losses of -100k in even years and +300k in odd years) it just makes sense that over time you should pay taxes on the average income of $100k.
