I suggested the same thing up thread.

Also structuring the payout schedule such that the last payment to the contractor comes after they have completed the work to your satisfaction. Next time I need a contractor, I’m going to steal an idea from the way my employer’s contracts work: payments based on completion milestones, not dates.

This is pretty much how I got my butt to the gym this morning - by convincing myself that a lifting session would feel as good as an extra hour of sleep. I can bullshit myself pretty good sometimes.

Define “reasonable.” Also, this is why Dog made bluetooth headphones.

$20k seems pretty low to get something like this into production. I’ll buy it at full price when they’ve been shipping for 6 months.

YES. THIS. Having grown up with a dog, and then having been apart of the decision to put the dog to sleep when he had brain cancer at 13, the biggest take away for me was something I heard a friend who grew up on a farm say, “I’ll always love my dogs enough to be the one to shoot them when it’s time.” And that stuck…

I think it only works when you’re logged in as the administrator.

Ok. I asked because searching through their website I could find no mention of how they were regulated.

What proof can anyone provide that Betterment/Wealthfront/etc aren’t some kind of pyramid scheme?

I forget, does the 3% of Amazon points when you buy stuff on Amazon with the Amazon CC extend to gift card purchases?

This is what I do intuitively with my “no non-food, non-gas spending during the week” rule. If something is important enough that I’ll remember it on Saturday after seeing it Monday, then it’s worth buying.

Because I share this exact same POV, I still have a couple of anti-choice friends. They feel that if you’re going to eliminate termination as an option, you had best make it as feasible as possible for a woman to support the child.

When I was living in London for grad school for a year, I opened a student account with Santander and it was very easy to do, even as a non-EU student.

^ Every shitty pizza joint’s business model.

Also don’t be surprised if you’re sitting in your hammock one day and you end up with your ass on the floor. Pullout forces are real, sudden, and will leave a nasty hole in your wall.

I carry it mainly for the 2 legged predators.

Given that I’ve gone on numerous backpacking trips out west (PCT, Glacier, to name 2) and have been bluff charged by a black bear, I’m going to say I’m comfortable with my stance on this one. I’ve never seen the point of a gun (when not hunting) when my voice and maybe a rock will do along with a reasonable amount of…

This. It took me a couple of tries but I did find a driving school in my area that taught stick. The car had the instructor’s clutch and gas and everything. Besides teaching me to get into start reliably (my biggest problem when I tried to learn from my parents...long story as to why that didn’t work out), it also…

I’m a huge advocate of gun safety classes in schools. Kids shouldn’t be taught to fear guns, but they should be taught to respect them the same way you respect fire and sharp tools.

How is a gun going to protect you in the wilderness? Anything that can be killed with a single shot (except other people) will be scared off if you yell. Anything bigger than that (grizzlies) will only be pissed off.
