Great advice! I increased my 401k contributions back when this happened. When the market rebounded my rate of return doubled! If I had spare $ laying around I’d just double up on the stocks I already own, lower my average share price.

How come I’ve never heard of this Saver’s Credit? Is this thing for this tax year? Or do you have to file the long form?

Everything you say is true and I agree that Apple’s done a lot to protect user info. I can also say, however, that having now been on iOS for about 8 months, I miss the Google ecosystem knowing things about me as it was in fact pretty darn useful because of it. Siri? Not so much, to the point that I haven’t used it…

You should be hitting at a minimum 1g/lb lean body mass if you are lifting. If you are trying to cut weight you should be eating more than 1g/lb body weight. Protein is more essential when losing weight due to the fact that you want to spare lean body mass. It is certainly important for building muscle too but you…

The only reason I’ve replaced toilets is to get both “comfort height” and to get a low flow toilet that actually flushed more than a single piece of one ply toilet paper. I just buy the $200ish Kohlers from Lowes and get both of those features.

I have to say, a few of these suggestions are taking frugality to a fault, particularly when you say to rent, and not buy. The problem with buying isn’t that it’s a bad decision, it’s that like a great many things, buying more than you can afford is a bad decisions. Most banks will offer you loans for twice what you…

As a lawyer... this is a bad, BAD idea. You should consult with a probate attorney and have a will set up according to the laws of your state. Just because this may comport with the laws of your jurisdiction and may be binding doesn’t mean this is /good/ for you. For an example of how badly things can go if you do…

Free money! Always good :). Thanks again

Don’t forget the parchment paper circle and the butter used below the parchment circle he put in the pan before putting the crust in.

Wrong.

Keaton wasn’t a very good Bruce Wayne, but he is the best Batman IMO. I love how stoic he is as the Batman.

I've noticed states with a high poverty rate like that seem to have copious numbers of "fees" and such so they can have low property taxes. I used to live in SC which had a similar situation, complete with an incredibly high sales tax and flat income tax. It seemed obvious the people writing the laws had ensured their…

H/T to the great George Carlin on these, from his bit about flying:

"I don't like kids, and I really don't like *your* kids."

Thank you for saying that about law and medicine. I'm in medicine, as are about half the people I know (the other half, through my partner, are scientists), and the standard practice is to take down your FB page or obscure your name enough that patients can't find you. Many folks have gone to their first and middle…

Um, my skepticism for this reboot has now reach the size of a Twinkie 35 feet long weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

Wooooooooooooooooooooooow. Come and blast me about how I'm sexist all you want, but this is the dumb shit I've heard since that rumor about SONY doing an aunt may spin off.

Vote: LastPass

The big issue is that SWTOR is the one and only successor to the Knights of the Old Republic duology from a decade ago. But those were single player RPGs, and SWTOR is an MMO—with all the baggage that comes with that.
