We have tumbled travertine and if you have and use a pool this stuff is gold. It is not slick when wet and looks amazing. Aside from cost the only downside we have found is that it requires a deep clean once a year to keep it looking like new.

How many real world jobs would suspend a person for domestic violence when it did not impact a persons work performance? Right or wrong, very few. I know the NFL exists on the celebrity playing field but at the end of the day this is a matter for the courts and not the employer. I am all for a lengthy prison term that…

You can setup your own router most likely or several companies sell already configured routers for their service.

My wife and I will sometimes yell "I LOVE YOU AND I CHOOSE TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH YOU". That has always defused our arguments.

Coding is about as useful as calligraphy. Debugging is where the useless and the useful are separated. Implementation is where masters are formed. Want better critical thinking skills, fix code for a few years.

I switched to what my wife calls a uniform a few years ago. Duluth Trading Co t-shirts that haven't worn out in over 10 years. Columbia Aruba pants that have an elastic waist, dry in minutes, both pants/shorts and are very durable (I have only destroyed one in over 10 years). Splash in a decent suit, couple button…

Sounds like some of these fellows need to be taken for a walk in woods.

There is no formula that works because the variables are constantly changing. The person you meet who is the best candidate today may be the worst a year from now. Short term and long term compatibility are very different.

Even with retirement those salaries are not going to produce very much in terms of ROI. Factoring in the debt of education, ability to keep salary paced with inflation over time, general decline in retirement benefits for teachers and taking longer to get to retirement than their predecessors one can easily see how…

Using game sale sites like cheapshark or steamgamesales makes finding great game deals a breeze.

Roku 3 for the win. The headset jack in the remote is a brilliant little add-on as well.

I think you meant to say windows up and the AC on saved more gas.

The Palm Test is BS. Nothing beats a thermometer for the amateur griller. Also frequent flipping creates a more evenly cooked piece of meat. Lastly, always let meat rest. This allows the juices to redistribute from the center otherwise you end up with a juicy middle and dry edges.

While it is true a driver should not use CC in hazardous conditions, it is not generally true that CC can exacerbate hydroplaning. Most CC readings come from the drive shaft not the speedometer so when a hydroplane situation occurs the CC will maintain the same wheel speed causing the car to slow down as the wheels…

Yes! That is all.

Still waiting for a reasonably well built and not insanely expensive zero gravity system. They mouse might require a bit of rethinking.

Homestead Protection in some states such as Florida and Texas makes owning a home a particularly powerful asset. The advantage of owning a home at least in states with solid Homestead Protection is that they are secure assets. There aren't many of those so a primary residence has some massive upsides to renting in…

Sprucing up a bit is simply a courtesy. I don't think a marathon cleaning session is in order but most people feel more comfortable in a less cluttered environment.

My philosophy is $2 per person per meal. The percentage thing is a scam.

We pay for laundry, weekly cleaning, lawn care, dog poo cleaners, car detailing, and a pool/spa guy in addition to the regularly scheduled maintenance for pest, fertilizing, AC, cars, pressure washing, etc. These days I even hire a handyman to do most of the around the house work even though I am more than capable of…
